Hyperviscous Semen and Dysmorphospermia in a Man of 42

Abstract

It has been shown many times that homeopathic remedies can do wonders in cases where conventional treatment fails miserably. In this particular case, where the patient sought homeopathic treatment for constipation, the simillimum acted deeply and corrected other major issues faced by the patient, namely hyperviscous se-men with dysmorphospermia and incomplete erections.

The treatment of hyperviscosity of se-men has been of very uncertain outcome with conventional treatment using antibiotics, anti-inflammatory and mucolytic agents.

The outcome is positive only when the underlying cause is an infection or inflammation. In this case the remedy matched the core pattern of the patient and brought deeper transformation.

This particular case required the use of the sensation method. I could hardly find matching rubrics of this remedy when the case was repertorized later.

Case of Mr. Sm Age 42

Verbatim

P: Difficulty in passing stool since a year. Always have pain in the

lower abdomen.

D: When does it hurt?

P: Pain more during stools. Pain in the lower part of back while passing stools.

D: How does it hurt?

P: Pressure going down in abdomen, something drilling from upper to lower abdomen. I also have headache whenever pain increases. Feels like nail is stuck in between abdomen and rectum. rectum does not open. No urge to pass. Must drink warm water and walk for some time to get slight urge. pain becomes more after sitting. I cannot sit for half an hour also.  Feel there are thorns, it feels like sitting on thorns. Feels some worms are there in umbilicus. Not able to concentrate on work.

D: What else you have during pain?

P: Head ache in vertex when abdomen pain becomes too much. In stomach feels nerves contracting, tightly held (HG), squeezing sensation. Feels body is out of control because of pain. not active because of constipation. feel active if passes clearly. Stools are hard, small balls like. Black like sheep. Lower back pains during stool.

D; Please describe the nerves contracting and tightly held.

P: Nerve is not in right position so problem. Nerve tries to be set right but it does not happen.

D: Means…?

P: Intense pain, pain is like rubber band expanding- that expansion is creating pain. Better after walking, surya namaskar, < food like samosa, bhelpuri, spicy food.

D: please try to describe that rubber band like pain in other words…try to describe more

P: Feels like a rope is tied between neck and back, motionless, no control over motion, now have stomach pain, something is pushing from above towards rectum. Itching in the stomach and eyes. Body did not receive it. Itching in the entire body. internally. no free movement, heat in the shoulder region.

P; Work is routine. I am able to manage because I am experienced in the same field since 10 yrs. Actually, I can learn things and improve. That is not happening because things are not in position.

I am always worried about these complaints and health. Once these things are set right, I can concentrate on my work. Not able to focus on career. Earlier because of loans I could not concentrate on getting updated. Later because of no issues. Now a days absent minded. I am open, honest, present myself as it is.

All the above were suggestive of the Calcarea line of development. When we study the periodic table from the homoeopathic perspective, we find that the elements which have been arranged in rows and columns are evolutionary in their pattern and they represent and correspond with the different stages of development of human beings.

As we come from above downwards the first row represents conception, the 2^nd row of elements, or the lithium line, represents intra uterine life and the process of birth, and the 3^rd row or the natrum line corresponds with issues of childhood like food, care, nourishment, development of the ‘I’ etc.

The 4^th row or the Calcarea line represents issues of man with family/work/society/money/security etc. The 5^th row corresponds with creativity, guidance, performance and fame, and the 6^th row or the gold series represents, leadership, taking responsibility of others, working and organizing for the larger masses.

In recent years, research by Michal Yakir, Jan Scholten and Mahesh Gandhi suggest a similar evolutionary development of plant families which can be compared with the periodic table and we can classify families corresponding to their similarity in issues of different rows. In this particular case the issues dealt with by the patient were similar to the calcarea line of development.

Lots of hand gestures may suggest the Plant kingdom. There is no particular hand gesture to suggest a plant family. However, when patients narrate their complaints, if they are moving their hands and fingers along with verbal expressions, they are more likely to respond to plant remedies rather than minerals.

This has been explained by Michal Yakir in her seminars and Dr. Mahesh Gandhi also endorses it in his lectures. As I am learning and applying this method of practice, I felt it was a point worth mentioning.

Important families which correspond with the Calcaria line of development or 5^th subclass include Rosales, Myrtales, Fabales, Malpighiales, Geraniales, Violales, Euphorbiales, Sapindales, Cornales, Rhamnales, and Apiales.
