What does the energetic examination consist of?
Energetic Examination (Filip Degroote – method) based on principles of kinesiology using:
- Weihe points
- Acupuncture points
- Hyotonic and hypertonic muscles (muscle tests)
- Sensitive nerves along the spine
- Chakras
This Energetic Examination can only be executed under very specific conditions:
- the physician is energetically OK, or at least not energetically switched
- neither the patient nor the physician wears something which contains a metal
- the area where the examination takes place must be free of any disturbing magnetic field. That’s why electronic devices, especially cell phones, must be turned off.
Extract from the introduction of the ‘Dreambook’
I. Of the first part: Methodology (p. 11 – 73)
As introduction, I’d like to give the reader and the user a sketch of my own evolution in forming my present homoeopathic views and ideas over the years.
- First view: 1985: Set aside and judge separately the nosode symptoms (these are rubrics in the repertory which contain Carc., Med., Syph. and /or Tub.) (hereditary energy) and prescribing the individual remedy of the patient only on the non-nosode symptoms.
- Second view: 1989: Energetic examination using principles of kinesiology: This allows the correct remedy to be verified, before being taken by the patient. It is consequently easier to get a deeper insight into the broad Materia Medica.
- Third view: 1992. By administering the appropriate nosode (see, footnote 2 and 3) with or shortly after the correct individual remedy, the case gains momentum and the patient recovers more quickly from his acute or chronic problem. There’s no homoeopathic aggravation and there’s a quicker evolution towards stable health. The explanation may be, that by administering the matching nosode, you get protection from the negative hereditary information in the chromosomes. Using this method, the energetic and physical expression of some bad genes will be kept dormant.
I’m aware that this last proposition is rather revolutionary and may provoke a reaction (or protest) in the homoeopathic world. Although a large number of homoeopaths (especially Belgian) have trained in energetic examination and come to the same conclusions, it may be years before this will be accepted generally by classical homoeopaths. Only when homoeopaths make themselves familiar with doing an energetic examination, will they come to the same conclusions. When we accept this proposition as a hypothesis, we can practice’classical homoeopathy’ in two different ways:
(1). Most homeopaths search for and prescribe only on the individual (basic) remedy of the patient. ) Mostly this remedy originates from the mineral, the vegetable or the animal kingdom, and is thus not a miasmatic remedy which has a human origin.
(nb: The miasmatic remedies are remedies which have a human pathological origin and which by their nature, are linked directly with the five known miasms. They include the following group of remedies: Psorinum, Medorrhinum, Syphilinum, all Tuberculinums, all Carcinosinums and all bowel-nosodes.)
By prescribing this homoeopathically correct remedy, he touches only the personal energy of the patient, but not his hereditary energy. While the patient’s complaints improve, the homoeopath often misses the ‘awakened ancestral energetic disorder’ completely, because this disorder cannot for the most part be observed by symptoms. This problem occurs for many homoeopaths, because they have no knowledge or experience with energetic examination. This ‘awakened ancestral energetic disorder’ is often the reason why the patient goes through an aggravation. During this aggravation the patient produces known and/or new symptoms of the administered homoeopathic remedy. The homoeopath will mostly adopt a wait-and-see attitude. In that way the aggravation picture, as well as the original complaint, then disappears progressively. The disturbed buried ancestral energy which came temporarily to the surface has then finally returned again into a dormant state. In that way we, as homoeopaths, miss an opportunity offered to us, to treat the deeper hereditary energetic disturbances (see, footnote 4).
We can see that the pattern of symptoms often keeps repeating itself in the future, as if the remedy wasn’t able to effect a deep or complete cure. When the patient consults us again, we frequently administer again the previous remedy, with the same reaction. It is as if the patient wants to get out of a pit, yet can never really reach the edge and so falls to the bottom again and again. That’s why there’s a high likelihood of repeating the (basic) prescription. This results in a ‘slow’ energetic correction of the patient, by which we don’t protect the patient against his inherent tendency to suffer from degenerative diseases.
This manner of practicing homoeopathy refers also to the experience of Hahnemann who, after treating his patients for many years, had to conclude that they still suffered and died from the same degenerative diseases as people who ‘had not’ been treated homoeopathically.
(2) The energetically schooled classical homoeopath on the contrary can diagnose this ‘awakened ancestral energetic disorder’ directly, or fairly soon, and can correct it by the most fitting nosode. In this manner he avoids an (constant) aggravation with intensifying symptoms. He gets a quicker cure of the current problem. There is faster development of the case, and a speedier evolution following a complementary individual remedy.
It is as if the patient gets out of the pit in one movement and can evolve energetically right away.
This results in a ‘quick’ energetic correction of the patient, in addition to which we also protect the patient against his inherent tendency for degenerative diseases.
The classically-trained homoeopath will have to excuse me, because I’ve written this book totally suited to the level of the energetically schooled classical homoeopath. However, I believe that all the new dream rubrics, will be a bonus for the general classical homoeopathic approach.
Let me say that I certainly don’t want to dissociate myself from how homoeopathy is practised nowadays! I hope that I’ve been able to deliver to all homeopaths, a useful addition to the Materia Medica.
(1) Without administration of the appropriate nosode, there is a fall back again and again into the same energetic pit.
(2) When the simillimum is followed by the administration of the appropriate nosode there will be no more a fall back again and again into the same energetic pit but on the contrary the patient gets completely out and gets the possibility to further energetic evolution.
- Footnote 1: Personal remark: This proposition is right, provided that the remedy which was prescribed is indicated again at the next prescription.
When changing correctly at a certain moment to a next remedy, the not yet known (new) symptoms (since taking the previous remedy) will belong to the present newly prescribed remedy. It will be like this, provided that this remedy indeed makes these (new) symptoms disappear as well.
- Footnote 2: A nosode is mostly administered on a complementary basis when the simillimum is prescribed in a dose which has to be taken only once. Depending on the miasmatic background this can be, especially at the outset of the treatment, a classical nosode such as Carc., Med., Syph. or Tub., or also a Bowel nosode. Sometimes this nosode is even followed by a (second) nosode, namely ‘Psorinum’.
In the further course of the treatment, it is a widespread classic experience that the nosode which follows the simillimum seems to be ‘Psorinum’. (cf. Hahnemann who compares psora with a monster with one thousand heads). Thus every time you prescribe a simillimum in the further course of the treatment, this will mostly be completed by Psorinum. It is as if you can release every time, the handbrake of the lethargic effect of the ‘psora’ (as you start your parked car and release your handbrake first).
Note: The administering of a trauma remedy, whether the trauma was physical or emotional, never requires to be succeeded by a nosode, because the disharmonious energy is not coming from within.
- Footnote 3: Not every energetically trained classical homoeopath finds that a simillimum has to be followed by a nosode. This depends on the healing power of the therapist.
- Footnote 4: cf. Degroote, F., Notes on miasms, heredity and remedy-interactions, p. 40: ‘This fall-back is due to a hereditary layer, coming from one of the known miasms or diatheses. This protraction of the disease is annoying to the patient at that moment, but gives us the opportunity to treat a deeper, normally hidden layer and to save him from some worse evil in the future’.
MODEL I: How the standard classical homoeopath works:
First the classical homoeopathic interview occours with simultaneous observation of the body language and external (physical) characteristics. After that follows the evaluation of the obtained information, which leads to a prescription. There is no 100% certainty that this prescription is the simillimum. This prescription is often ‘trial and error’.
Each case involves waiting for the reactions of the patient.
If the patient reacts insufficiently or not at all, the classical homoeopath goes on to
- another dilution of the same remedy
- another remedy (!!! sometimes wrongly – see further)
If the patient reacts well
- the prescribed remedy is the simillimum indeed
- the prescribed remedy is only a simile
MODEL II: How the energetically schooled classical homoeopath works:
The classical homoeopathic interview with simultaneous observation of the body language, external
(physical) characteristics. Then follows the evaluation of the information and an energetic examination to identify and verify the simillimum, from among the selected remedies. You are about 100% certain of the correctness of the homoeopathic prescription.
It is striking that the energetically schooled homoeopath also notices other energetic phenomena, such as:
- observation in connection with the communication between both brain hemispheres
- observation of the dominating brain hemisphere: the energetic dominating brain hemisphere versus the congenital dominating brain hemisphere.
- which physical or energetic layer should be treated first (in order)
- which blockage may be present preventing even a well selected remedy from working
Such blockages can be:
- switching (breakdown in communications between both brain hemispheres), which may prevent the simillimum from working.
- need of a classical nosode (Psor., Med., Carc., Tub., Syph. and all bowel nosodes), which balances the ancestral energy and makes the prescribed remedy work on ‘deeper’ levels.
- trauma (emotional or physical trauma, vaccination, …)
- isotherapy (nosode therapy with viruses, bacteria, fungi, …)
When these blockages are recognized and corrected, the correct remedy can affect much deeper levels.
Energetically trained homoeopaths can ascertain that the interaction of the individual remedy (simillimum) of the patient ‘directly’ brings an ancestral energetic layer to the surface.
An almost simultaneous treatment of these ancestral layers (classical nosode), directly after correction of the individual energetic disturbance by administering the simillimum, will therefore bring on an accelerated action and a greater profundity of the action of this simillimum.
In practice this can be done in two ways:
- The simillimum is taken ‘together’ with the nosode.
My own practice shows that ‘during’ the taking of both remedies, the patient (with eyes open) should not be allowed to blink, because this opens an energetic valve between the individual energetic channels (the classical 10 acupuncture meridians) and the ancestral energetic channels (with for instance the wonder meridians, the governing vessel and the conception vessel). When these valves open, by blinking during administration, then the administered energetic signal does not reach its destination. This only can be administered again and repaired after an interval of half an hour.
- Or, and this is the easiest way of administering, you let the patient take his simillimum first, followed a ‘minimum’ half an hour later, by the ancestral remedy (nosode).
By correction of above mentioned blockages and correction of the ancestral energy, we also see that the patient reacts quicker and also that his homoeopathic remedy can change quicker.
How an energetically schooled homoeopath works:
First, the homoeopath has to be perfectly fluent in the method of the energetic examination (as described in ‘Physical examination and observations in Homoeopathy’) and has to be in a good balanced energetic state.
Besides this, he or she has to consider possible disturbing influences of the direct environment (electromagnetic fields and rays) during the energetic examination. Furthermore, removable dentures and also the slightest metal on the body of both the patient and the researcher must be removed during the energetic examination.
II. Of the second part (p. 77 – p. 900): ‘Casuistry’ which contains about 250 remedies:
Example, the first remedy ‘Abrotanum’:
ABROTANUM :
Botanic:
Artemisia abrotanum (which English name is: ‘Lady’s Love, Lemon Plant or Southernwood) is part of the family of the Asteraceae (Compositae) and the subfamily Corymbiferae. The plant is native of southern Europe and Asia Minor. Now it can be found in whole Central Europe.
English southernwood is a contraction of southern wormwood; indeed, southernwood can be seen as a Southern (Mediterranean) variant of wormwood, which has been grown in West and Central Europe only since the Middle Ages. The British name old man also was given in contrast to wormwood (Absinthium), which is known as old woman in some parts of Britain.
Abrotanum is an evergreen strongly aromatic under shrub of 1 to 1.5 metre high and greyish-green, alternate leaves. The yellowy-white flowers only bloom in warm climate. The plant looses its leaves from below upward.
Mythology:
Abrotanum belongs to the ‘Artemisiae’.
The different Artemisiae are: abrot., absin., art-v., cham., cina, mill., tanac.
Untill Middle Ages these plants were of high standing and they were count among the holly herbs.
These plants were devoted to the Greek goddess Artemis, the twin sister of Apollo.
Artemis, or for the Romans Diana, is especially known as the goddess of hunting.
As a virgin goddness, she is also the goddess of prosperity and fortune, but also from time to time of misfortune and disasters. She gives protection to women in labour and intervenes when chastity is defiled. So she kills lawbreakers with her arrows.
Homeopathically:
The remedy is made of the fresh leaves and young shoots of the plant.
The key-note of Abrotanum is ‘Metastasis‘. It is mostly at the occasion of the shifting of the disease from one organ to another organ or system, that we trace Abrotanum: cf. case 1 and 2. However, very little dream symptoms of Abrotanum are known!
In the repertory we only find the following dream symptoms:
Dreams: anxious, frightful, dogs (mad dog) and many.
Therefore, I hereby mention some Abrotanum cases with their respective dreams.
Case 1:
An eloquent little boy of four and a half has a nasty cough for the last a couple of days. His mother explains that the cough started after he had diarrhoea for some days. It’s a little plague that now, just before winter, is making a tour in the toddler’s class. Since his cough, the diarrhoea has stopped abruptly!
Further he can precisely tell a dream:
He stands together with his girlfriend from class close to an empty round stone well, which is fully dried up. At the bottom of the well there are little children and they can’t get out. At the side of the well there are handles attached, however they do not reach the deepest level of the well. He goes down the well, using these handles, and helps the little children to get out.
Symptom:
Cough, diarrhoea after
By applying the energetic examination I find a confirmation of Abrotanum, which he is prescribed in LM-potency, to take for several days. This makes the cough disappear almost immediately followed by again some diarrhoea which then disappears by itself.
