The Peregrine Falcon
(Falco peregrinus)

- Siegfried Letzel

What changes may arise with a prover in a remedy proving if a new remedy is taken? The symptoms - will they have something in common with the source or will there be no relation?
The remedy proving of the Peregrine Falcon has been conducted by Misha Norland at The School of Homeopathy in 1997. What I intend to do in this article is to examine if the symptoms noticed by the provers have anything in common with the living animal. In other words, is it possible that a homeopathic remedy is able to project characteristics of a living animal to a human being?
Peregrine Falcons are roaming nearly all over the world, inhabiting not only the temperate zones of the globe, but also the tundra around the North Pole which they have to leave each winter "peregrining" southwards, touching all northern countries of Europe, Asia and America. In Africa they can reach eastern Sudan. They have been seen in Southern Asia and in Central America. During their migrations they are easily strolling 1000 km, that is about 620 miles a day. Without great effort they are able to cross the Mediterranean Sea within a single day. Some species of Falcon cross vast oceans in a single flight. A Peregrine has been spotted on a ship more than eight hundred miles from the nearest land.

Peregrine Falcons are courageous, strong and extremely agile birds provided with dreadful weapons. When they catch their prey, usually the victims are stabbed to death or strangled up in the air, or very heavy birds are tortured in the air and then killed after they plunge to the ground.

Their flights are extremely fast with hasty beats of wings, most often close to the ground. When hunting a victim they are flying with such a fabulous speed that spectators find it difficult to estimate it. One only can hear a roaring of wind and is viewing an object falling down, unable to recognize that it is a falcon. The Peregrine Falcon dives so fast that if it grabbed the victim out of the air with its talons it would break its own legs. Instead, the hunter hits its prey with its strongly muscled chest, the prey falling unconscious. Only in the spring they elevate to inestimable heights.

They are very shy and careful. This is the reason why they go to rest only late in the evening. In the deserted tundra, they get out of way of approaching hunters, whereas in bigger cities, they are of an amazing brazenness, which is of striking contradiction to their common habits. This shows that they can easily adapt to changing environments.
The number of Falcons has fallen dramatically since the mid 1950s. In England, the population in 1961 was 68% of the pre-war level and it fell further to 56% in 1962 and 44% in 1963. The decline was a worldwide phenomenon. Falcons, which had once been numerous were now extinct in the vast forests of Eastern Europe and had completely disappeared from the eastern side of North America. There were indications that pesticides had a role in this decline. In England, after restriction of pesticides in 1981 the numbers were up to 90% of pre-war levels. In North America and Eastern Europe they were completely wiped out.

Falco peregrinus is the homeopathic remedy produced from the Peregrine Falcon. A small piece of feather and a sample of blood were taken from Nesbit, a captive bred Peregrine Tiercel, 2 years of age, to produce the remedy.
