I am a Rhus Tox textbook case. This type runs in my family. The patterns are evident. Question is the learned or is one wired or prodisposed to this "typing"? Thank you once again!

It has some humour and I could recognise myself having just been prescribed Rhus Tox. It was more meaningful than a list of symptoms,it tells the story. I liked the way this article was constructed.

Is Rhus tox a medicine, a treatment of sorts or is it a state of being. Is Rhus toxicodendron a person??? Was this a tongue in cheek?? I am trying to look up homeopathic treatment for restless leg syndrome and came across this and now am even more confused. Is this supposed to be understandable for the average joe or this written in some type of doctorate language tha tthe average joe would not understand?? Maybe needs to be classified or filed somewhere els on a website..possibly?? I am very confused by this article. Is Rhus tox a medicine, a treatment of sorts or is it a state of being.

You know, how we always thought they were stiff emotionally and they couldn’t give easily? That is a later stage of Rhus Tox. Actually at the beginning, Rhus Tox people are distinctly cheerful and outgoing. The mind is very active. They are joking, wisecracking and sort of a wry sense of humor, reactive. They can be irritable and they can be low patience with a low tolerance threshold, in other words they are cheerful and happy, everything is going along fine, but just some little thing overwhelms them, and then they can get irritable. They get irritable at the beginning; eventually they will be overwhelmed. Not like Calcarea, in a different way. The next stage is when we see the internal restlessness. It goes from reactive, cheerful, sort of lively and then the liveliness gets carried up an octave to a type of restlessness. Like the nerves are standing on edge. The whole system gets stirred up inside and they get hurried and then finally even to a state of an agitated sort of feeling. Remember we always used to make this differentiation — with restlessness, Rhus Tox is because of physical and Arsenicum is because of mental. Well, there is not a clear differentiation there. Rhus Tox gets extremely restless on a mental level. They are also very restless on a physical level earlier, but the mind can get very restless and they can skip around from one subject to the next. You can get it confused with Lachesis, but it doesn’t have the intensity behind it, it is different. If you look under “timidity” Rhus Tox is listed capitals. They are bashful people. You know how George always says if you are sitting with the Rhus Tox patient, you have to watch out of the corner of your eye. If I’m Rhus Tox, when you start lookinq down to write, I’ll look like this and then when you look up, I will be back like this. There is bashfulness. They don’t want to show. They hide the stress and so forth. Now, that same timidity gets carried along with this restless mind, and it produces something that you may confuse with Lachesis, but it looks quite different in the way that they speak. They will come in in a sort of agitated state and they want to tell you some symptoms and yet they are constantly looking at you because they have an active mind. They are looking at you to observe whether or not you are paying attention, how you are evaluating it, whether you are getting bored with this, so they sit there and they will say, “Ok, I just want to tell you this one thing. ” “You know sometimes I get this stiffness in my wrist. ” Then they see you are not interested in the wrist and they say, “Well, sometimes also my stomach isn’t good. Sometimes it gets a burning there and I, oh, but just let me tell you this, because I know you are busy, but I just want to go on with this one point. ” Like that. Very sensitive, restless, bashful, this kind of thing mixed up all together. If you are not listening, they will change the subject and tell you another symptom. And they stop and they stop and they are rushed and they are timid. It’s all mixed up in this kind of. It gives you that kind of impression of skipping around in the mind and that the mind goes five different points at once. On the other hand, they can go in these deeper stages where they become withheld and they don’t express their feelings, or they are too stiff to respond even though they want attention and affection, they are too stiff to respond. That is when they become miserable and discouraged and that is, where you could sort of confuse it with the Calcarea overwhelmed. They will say something else that may remind you of Calcarea which is that life is a struggle and they may even contemplate suicide even though it is not a truly suicidal remedy. Finally, when the stiffness goes to a deeper plane, which is the mental plane is when we get the fixed ideas and the superstitions and the ritualistic behavior. They like affection and caring, but they can’t give it back. They become withheld. They can’t respond.
