The Application of Alfonso Masi Elizalde’s Method In Case Taking Study of Substance through Accidents

Examples with Anhalonium Lewinii and Case Report

A. Introduction:

The Application of Alfonso Masi Elizalde’s method in case taking allows us to make a hypothesis about the metaphysical origin of the patient’s disease. That is, it allows us to perceive the aspect of divinity the subject is reflecting, which in good part he manifests, and also, what he is rejecting of his human nature, and in what he is envious of his Creator.

The objectives of this work are:

Ø To propose the application of all steps of the method designed by Alfonso Masi Elizalde to the patient’s spontaneous report.

Ø To deepen one of its steps: the study of modalities, in accordance with the thoughts of Aristotle, Saint Thomas Aquinas, Hahnemann and Flora Dabbah.

The spontaneous report, an invaluable and irreplaceable resource, and place of permanent return, the source of re-readings, of the first discourse and the first impression, and possibility for future consultations, is the basis for our analysis.

The method to categorize the symptoms has the following steps:

1. Spontaneous report.

2. Construction of the themes, either by analogy or similarity of symptoms.

3. Grouping of themes.

4. Theme of the modalities (Aristotle’s categories).

5. Formulation of pillars.

6. Totality of Psora in its secondary stage (projected).

7. Totality of Psora in its tertiary stage (reactive).

8. Nuclei of suffering, nuclei of primary Psora.

  • a. transgression or guilt.
  • b. incapacity or loss
  • c. fear of punishment
  • d. nostalgia
  • e. justification
  • f. nucleus of reconciliation

9. Study of the altered function according to Aristotelian-Thomistic scheme.

10. Study of the language.

11. Hypothesis about the metaphysical origin of the disease for each medicine.

12. Symbolism, and related ideas, which are used for the confirmation of the hypothesis.

13. Repertorization of symptoms, lecture of Medical Materia.

14. Selection of the medicine.

15. Prognostic observations.

The study of modalities allows us to access the finest observation of the subject’s operations and the analysis of the totality of his sensations and alterations (the material cause), to observe how the functions are directed towards his object and intention (the final cause), and the distillation of the essence (the formal cause).

Aristotle enunciated and described the following categories:

Substance, Quantity (How much?), Quality (How?), Relation (with the other), Location (the motionless area surrounding him), Time (When?), Position (of the parts among each other), Action (What is he doing?), Passion (What is he suffering, the suffering), Habit (clothes, adornments, weapons).

In this way we can, with the specific tool for each thing, form an image before us, which reflects with great precision an important aspect of the patient’s life. There appears an image before us, which will surprise us and the patient, if we did not notice it with the naked eye.

We can use one or another scheme according to the nature of the material we obtain from the report of the patient.

We can transform themes, words, a modality, a gesture or an attitude into symptoms or into the repertory language.

We can conclude directly from the miasmatic dynamics or from the themes to the medicine.

The patient can tell us something with the anecdotes of his life, and the manner in which he bears them, about the nucleus of the loss, the nucleus of the transgression, of the fear of punishment and nostalgia.

The study of the functions of the soul can demonstrate to us the location of the lesion and guide us to one or another medicine.

We can change from one scheme to another, from the beginning to the end, supported by this plot so well thought by our wonderful teacher.

In this way, the method is an invaluable instrument for the selection of the simillimum.

Methodological clarifications:

After this short enumeration of the steps of the method follows:

B. The evolution of thoughts about modalities – concept of substance and accident

C. Examples of accidents with Anhalonium Lewinii, and from patients who have evolved with Anhalonium Lewinii.

B. Study of the modalities

Hahnemann said in the Organon: “Diseases will not cease to be dynamic aberrations of our spirit like life manifested by sensations and actions; that is, immaterial changes in our way of being ...”

In Paragraph 133 he asked the experimenters:

” On experiencing any particular sensation from the medicine, it is useful, indeed necessary, in order to determine the exact character of the symptom, to assume various positions while it lasts, and to observe whether, by moving the part affected, by walking in the room or the open air, by standing, sitting or lying the symptom is increased, diminished or removed, and whether it returns on again assuming the position in which it was first observed, – whether it is altered by eating or drinking, or by any other condition, or by speaking, coughing, sneezing or any other action of the body, and at the same time to note at what time of the day or night it usually occurs in the most marked manner, whereby what is peculiar to and characteristic of each symptom will become apparent..”

Following the idea of Hahnemann, and based on her observation of the construction of repertories and materia medicas, Flora Dabbah elaborated the following classification:

A) Symptoms of the way of being permanent, worthy of cure.

B) Characteristic symptoms, symptoms of the way of being temporary.

A) The symptoms of the way of being are fixed, and do not change dependent on circumstances.

These are the symptoms of the personality. Characteristic symptoms:

Ø Characteristics per se:

  • Illusions
  • Dreams
  • Sensations as if
  • Gestures
  • Attitudes
  • Behavior
    • Intensity
    • Frequency or alternation
    • Characteristic symptoms depend on circumstances – accidents

They answer the questions: How? When? Where?

Circumstances:

1 – Time

frequencies – constant – day and night – periodically – alternating

2 – Weather – change of weather – seasons

open air – hot air – wet air – sun – storm – heat – moon

3 – Movement

walking – fast – in open air – ascending – descending – traveling – dancing – rocking – closing eyes – physical exertion – crossing the street – rest – etc.

4 – Occupations

mental effort – thoughts – memory – studying – concentration – reading – writing – calculating – playing piano – sewing – sedentary occupation

5 – Position and laterality

upwards – downwards – backward – outward – inward – sitting – standing – lying- bending – rising

6 – Location

streets – closed places – narrow places – high places – in the house – room – bed – darkness – crowd

7 – Others

alone – in company – conversing – talking – if interrupted – when touched – if looked at – if carried – screams – rudeness

8 – Cause

causeless – by trifles – bad news – horrible things – music – noise – drafts – nightmares

9 – Emotions

anger – sorrow – crying – depression – lamentation – mortification – reproaches – fright – excitement

10 – Functions

eating – breakfast – lunch – dinner – drinking – wine – alcohol – beer – coffee – hot drinks – cold drinks – perspiration – urination – evacuation – loss of fluids – getting wet – coitus – menstruation – pregnancy – nursing – menopause – sleeping – waking – falling asleep – when opening the eyes

Until this point it is what Flora Dabbah described.

And in Paragraph 15 Hahnemann said:

” The affection of the morbidly deranged, spirit-like dynamis (vital force) that animates our body in the invisible interior, and the totality of the outwardly cognizable symptoms produced by it in the organism and representing the existing malady, constitute a whole; they are one and the same. The organism is indeed the material instrument of the life, but it is not conceivable without the animation imparted to it by the instinctively perceiving and regulating vital force (just as the vital force is not conceivable without the organism), consequently the two together constitute a unity, although in thought our mind separates this unity into two distinct conceptions for the sake of facilitating the comprehension of it..”

This seems to respond then to Aristotle’s concept of Substance and Accident:

The Substance (from Latin: substantia, sub: under, and stare: be (estar), what’s below, the essence or entity of something

The Substance is what is called “a this” like men, animals, plants (“what is not said of a subject”)

The thing that exists in itself and not in another.

Accidents are only “ways of being this”. Accidents are the ways in which the substance manifests.

The thing which does exist in another being.

Words, if taken in isolation, express one of the following things: substance, quantity, quality, relation, location, time, position, action, habit, passion.

If, in this particular case, the word is applied to the human or animal, we can say:

These are the modalities, modes, ways, and circumstances in which any suffering or thing that happens to us men or to our animals can combine and transform into symptoms.

We could say, for example:

• Usually we all suffer hunger, thirst, sleepiness, tiredness, fear, boredom, hurry, impatience, pain.

• We all remain sitting, standing, lying, walking or running, or can bend and turn in the bed, alternately, and according to our physical ability.

• We all sometimes like to stretch the body, to lay in bed, rest.

• We all are more or less jealous, loving, bossy, orderly, meticulous, industrious, ill-humored.

• We all are affected by changes, death and financial loss, journeys, farewell.

• Sometimes, we all like to be alone, or together with friends, to get visits, to watch and be watched.

• We can all crush the finger in a door, stumble, take something forward, or fall.

• We all are more or less sleepy on waking, or drowsy after eating.

• All babies need more attention in the evening, and we are all tired at the end of the day.

• We all like to get home, to take one’s clothes and shoes off, and to have a warm shower.

• We all like to listen to music, to talk, listen, converse, and also to remain silent.

• We all perspire, suffer from heat, cold or tiredness.

Any of these situations is our life.

Isolated or combined at random does not mean anything.

United, with each other, in a fixed way, constitutes a symptom.

We give now, if possible, an example of accidents of the substance Anhalonium Lewinii for each of the classifications

QUANTITY:

a) FIGURE: The respective disposition of his different parts

b) POTENCE AND IMPOTENCE: That which the substance has immediately at it’s disposal for the operations. The immediate principle of operation. A certain way of being, in this or another way. The physical strength to execute or not. In case of impotence one refers to the potence if it is weak.

PASSION

What he suffers reluctantly, what he suffers.

The ideas and visions penetrate the consciousness of the individual in a quite rapid succession; they seem to impose themselves on the individual who cannot control them. He is unable to resist them and is forced to listen and answer them verbally. This is as if the logical mind would lose control and as if the subconscious or part of the supraconscious mind would take command.

(In this case it is the passion that floods the consciousness)

From all these descriptions we can say that Anhalonium has the following big themes:

GROUPING OF THEMES OF ANHOLONIUM LEWINII

1. He himself and the environment

2. Visions

3. Cosmic egotism

4. Execution capacity

5. Coldness, pallor – warm water

6. Self care, I feel very good, comfortable.

7. Disasters.

8. I must take care of, and guide animals. Overburdened by responsibility. It is as if had done something dishonest.

PILLARS

I. He himself and the environment

II. Visions – distortion and confusion of senses

III. Indiscrimination

Seeing the different modalities we can make a detailed analysis of the suffering and the reactive attitudes, it is enough to read them and to know:

How does he suffer ? The discrimination of the environment is missing: sensitivity to odors, I felt I could suffocate, gives us the material about how he suffers. I had a bad conscience because if I hadn’t been so selfish and had considered his urgency, the dog would be still alive. Overburdened by responsibilities, sad, as if had done something dishonest.

How does he defend himself when he flees ?

Avoids decision, irresolute.

Submerges underwater.

As in alterlysis, the modality of the relation is described is follows: aversion to being touched. Mistrust, thinks that they laugh at him.

How will he be if he assumes the attribute? He is God, (immaterial), egocentric introversion, observes himself. And he is in everything: Increased orientation toward the environment. Attracted to the rocks.

When it tries to impose: Handles everything concentrated now. Goes swimming in the sea

And conclude that: What does he think got lost.

Self identification with the environment. Loss of the existential horizon. Distortion of perceptions, shapes, space, all objects. Confounds present with eternity. Hopelessness. Anxiety about death. Loss of execution. Ceased outside activity. Lost in the middle of nowhere.

Wanted to be like God who is in all things, present and as the cause of their being.

Hypothesis

That God is transcendent (distinct from the world, a, 1 ad 3), but is in all things because everything is subject to his power, because everything is present to his eyes (“presence”), and because he acts in everybody as a cause of their being (“essence”, a.3). Transcendence and immanence do not oppose in God, because he is distinct and intimate at once (a.1, ad 1).

This is so because God is simple (q.3) and perfect (q.4); he is not “circumscribable”, he is infinite, and therefore he can be everywhere (q.7; q, 8)

C. Example of a patient

C.E., female, 53 years old, professional, three children, two grandchildren.

She has received Anhalonium six years ago. I brought this history because this patient led us to study this medicine many years ago.

There are many symptoms that the patient brought to the consultation after taking the medicine. The patient did not consider them as such. Only when the symptoms were cured, she noticed that she liked more to live in this new way:

Seeing the reality, without feeling the need to flee. Without adapting to others indiscriminately.

Modalities – Accidents of the patient C.E.

Quantity

Quality

Habit or capacity:

• Clairvoyance, premonition.

• She noticed that she is more in the reality with medication.

• She began to swim, they noticed in the “Ateneo de la Juventud” that she was swimming, walked with a swimsuit now, took the handbag, went, and made something.

• I moved to my own house.

• When I discovered that my job was useful for someone else. I made an appointment with a woman who was dead, the husband appointed her to the studio, and I suggested him to help.

• I also felt relief when I put my hands to cure, what I see is what I asked for, people cure.

Disposition:

• Absent-minded.

• He says that he gets dispersed from every little thing.

• Her husband does not see her.

• She adapted herself to others: They did not let her go to make gymnastics or did not bring her to the training.

• I feel something that I do not like.

• I can not verbalize what I am feeling.

This indifference always reciprocates; there are no quarrels, nothing.

• I realized that this is what happens to me: I do not notice what bothers me.

After medication:

I have to cover my eyes because it was so much that I saw in this new state.

• After medication: She did not use her glasses so often, and now she puts them on when necessary to see.

• Before she did not dream, now she dreams every day. Her dreams were strange and sometimes there were premonitions and such things, but now she dreams.

• She thinks she was better at work. For her the work is a great challenge, because she started when she was major, it made her afraid, and the fear paralyzed her. She could not do it, now she demands it herself, has done it now, and it has helped her a lot.

• I also felt relief when I put my hands to cure, what I see is what I asked for, people cure. I feel something that I do not like, I can not verbalize what I feel.

Passible quality:

• Cloudy vision with headache.

• Menses brought her pain at the back of the waist, she had to remain bending double. Felt anxiety before, did not know what to do.

• The pain in the leg is like an insensibility.

• I see that my hands and feet weaken when I’m walking, I don’t know.

• Each time when I’m nervous my hands are warmer.

• At times I feel my body revives.

• The ear ameliorated.

Potence and Impotence:

• When she is very nervous she weakens. Finally she noticed that she got to be more constipated. She noticed this last week, she was a little constipated.

• She eats everything, everything she likes, but she eats a little accelerated, swallows. She needs to eat less for the hunger. They work a lot in the studio, sometimes she skips lunch, and only asks for little things. She tries to eat food, not junk food.

• Almost breakfasts nothing, at lunch a cake, a sponge cake, and at night she eats steak with puree or a banana, or an alfajor [1] . In any case she eats little, a platter with pasta and tomato. Anhalonium p.3

• She likes water, milk and pizza, organic food. Belly full, heart happy.

Passion:

• Her fears are like an obsession, and give her the impression of black waters. If it is very cold, she is terrified by a landscape of sea and dark waters.

• She did not discriminate herself from her environment, she lived the outside as if it were herself.

Now she has two new attitudes: One was to use glasses to see because she began to perceive the environment in another way, accompanied by the necessity to cover her eyes because the reality appeared to be so new and much. Before, she did not know that the environment and she were different things.

Although she lived with her family and had company at work, she was isolated, in a shell, introverted, absent-minded, enclosed in her world. With Anhalonium she could discriminate herself, and finally she broke away from her husband as well as her partner.

For many years she enjoys:

• The power to take decisions: before medication she was unable to make
these decisions.

• The ability to discriminate herself from the rest: she bought a house for herself, another for her studio.

• She takes care of others.

These are the symptoms for which I prescribed Anhalonium to h er six years ago:

Reconciliation

I wanted to go out to feel the coldness in the face.

Words in the dictionary of the language.

Discriminate: to separate, distinguish, differentiate one thing from another.

Mix: to join, incorporate different things, obtaining a certain homogeneity.

Interfere: to introduce one thing in other in order to mix them.

Confound: to mix different things or people in a way that one thing cannot be distinguished from the other. Not to make the necessary distinction. To take one thing for another erroneously, to make a mistake.

Cut: to divide a thing or to separate its parts with a sharp instrument.

To stop continuity or union by dividing.

Distortion: the undesirable alteration of the shape of a sign due to the imperfection of a system.

The envied attribute: Transcendence and immanence:

Transcendence supposes a beyond from the referral point. Beyond the world, and thoughts. Immanence means inherent, to be in temporarily. There are two antagonist currents regarding this point and God:

Pantheism: Denies the distinction of God with respect to the world, converting it in its own becoming or substantial form: God as the soul of the world.

Theism: The transcendence is characterized thereby that God is in no way in the things, or present. It is a God alien to the vicissitudes of the world, and to the necessities of men.

Saint Thomas analyzes these two positions and concludes that God is transcendent (distinct of the world, a.1 ad 3), but that he is in everything, because everything is subject to his power, because everything is present to his eyes (presence), and because he acts in everybody as the cause of their being (essence, a.3). Transcendence and immanence do not oppose in God, because he is distinct and intimate at once (a.1, ad 1).

This is so because God is simple (q.3) and perfect (q.4); he is not ‘circumscribable’, he is infinite, and therefore he can be everywhere (q.7; q, 8)

Presence of God in the things: q.8

God distinct from the world:

God (through his absolute power) acts directly in everything. Therefore, nothing is distant from him. Nevertheless, it is said that the things are distant from God because of the dissimilarity between nature and grace, then he is above all due to the excellence of his nature (a.1 and 3)

Presence of God:

God is in the things in a double way:

1) First, as a causative agent. Therefore it is said that he is in everything created by him.

2) Second, the object of action because he is in the agent. This pertains to the operations of the soul; because the known is in what is known, and the desired is in what is desired. In this second way God is especially in the rational creatures, who know and love him actually and usually. (…) How he is in the other creatures can be understood considering what is happening in the other human things. It is said that the king is potential in his entire kingdom, although he is not physically present everywhere. It is said that someone is present in everything that is under his eye. Therefore it is said that someone is at home, although he is not substantially present in all and every part of the house. Through substance or essence is said that anyone who is present in an occupied place because of his physical totality. (…)

God is in everybody due to his power. There were others, who, even if they confessed that everything is subject to the power of God, denied that the Divine Providence occupies himself with the things of this world, according to what is said in Job 22,14: One walks through the vault of the firmament and is not noticed. [5]

Again this was to say that God is everywhere. (…) Therefore, it is to say that God is in everybody through power, as everything is subject to his power; that he is present in everybody, as everything is discovered by him; and that he is in everyone through essence, as he is present in everyone as a reason for being, as it was said (a.1) (q.8, a.3)
