I would add the same with Lyc dogs and people i.e. bark at the door but fine when the door is opened
Rubrics: Fear – door; in opening. Fear - Noise; door at. New version of Synthesis has: Fear - ringing at the door; from:
Important keynotes: Stool Thin – formed then thin. Stomach Appetite – increased; night. Extremities Cold right (one foot hot the other cold).
David Bettio (Italy)
I’d add this to my experience of Lyc.
• Jumps back if they hear a strange noise
• Barks as hard as he can, if left at home alone, until he
causes gastric dilation
• The reproductive organs and in particular the penis is
not well developed as if it had not completed its development (it is small compared to the average), despite this it has strong sexual impulses
• AFADH (France)
The main theme of Lycopodium is the theme of the father. The theme of the father has to do with responsibility, generation and reference. (Many authors agree). Vithoulkas writes that the main theme is cowardice and that this expresses itself initially in the sexual sphere. They will have sexual pleasure but without accepting the responsibility that comes with it: pleasure without responsibility.
Lycopodium nourishes and is paternalistic but at the plant stage. The psoric suffering of Lycopodium doubts to be a father, being able to transmit and generate a son. In egotrophy (Sycosis): he is the super father, the good dictator and the paternalistic boss. In egolysis (Syphilis): he abandons his family.
Precocity in children: the memory of the large tree that has become a creeping moss.
Another interesting aspect of Lycopodium is that its predecessors of many millennia ago are at the origin of much of the coal that has nourished the industrial revolution.
According to Masi: Lycopodium treats an illness related to paternity. Lycopodium feels he needs to be great to transmit to the next generation. Women Lycopodium tend to have a father-like approach to the family.
Cases
Charolais calf with diarrhoea. R Jouanin, France
15 days old Charolais calves: diarrhoea, not able to stand up. One has died the day before. The context of the farm is unpleasant.
They become ill in the morning. They lie on their sides, a few cannot get up. Their abdomen are dilated, mainly the bottom part, flatulence++. (Frog like abdomen.) White diarrhoea is running slowly from the rectum.
No improvement with conventional treatments.
24 hours later: Lycopodium 15ch injected to all the calves. 2 hours later they all get up, start to drink and recover fully.
A calf rejected. (E De Beukelaer, France)
A Charolais-Belgian Blue heifer refused to feed her calf. The farmer needed to tie her up with her nose and hold her to allow the calf to suckle without it being kicked away. Based on Mind, abandons her children (and Lycopodium being the only remedy in my car that day...) the heifer received 1⁄2 a tube of Lycopodium 7c. The next day, the calf could drink normally.
Digestion and skin. (U. Stach, Germany)
A one-year old entire Irish Setter is seen for inter-digital dermatitis. Two weeks prior, his food had been changed. As a consequence, he had vomited undigested food several hours after eating, his abdomen was distended and he passed lots of gas.
He will steal sweet food from the table. He stands up proud to little dogs and is even more full of himself when the other dog of the family is with him.
One dose of Lyc 1M is injected.
One month later:
The digestive issues disappeared and the inter-digital dermatitis initially got worse but then receded. But small itchy papules have appeared on the right side of his neck. Even though these new lesions are more central to the patient, the author considers that these are less severe than the inter-digital dermatitis condition, which is usually a neuro-dermal condition: hence an affection of a deeper tissue.
He is sent home with a dose of Lyc LM1 to take in two weeks in case the new eruptions on his neck persist. The lesions all disappeared. Lycopodium was a good remedy.
