cases. The owner repeated a few times, how ‘deep’ she was without being able to specifically pinpoint, what this meant. As there was nothing to repertorise with, I decide to prescribe Lac-loxodonta-africana 1M for three days.
She picked up quickly, the vaginal discharge disappeared and she was well for 3 weeks, when she became unwell again. The breathing difficulties were much worse this time. Auscultation of the chest was disastrous: crackling and wheezing all over the chest. Temperature was normal, gum colour was purple-like, no cough. She is not a well dog at all. No X-ray is taken but a diagnosis of serious lung disease possible cancer was obvious.
I prescribe Lac-elephas-maximus, in 10M this time with little hope to do much. Euthanasia hung in the air. She picked up in 24 hours and was really well for a few days. Then in the morning walked out in the garden and pass away peacefully under a bush.
The remedy
The remedy is either prepared from the Asian elephant: Lac elephantis maximus (or Lac maximus maximus) or from the African elephant: Lac Loxodonta Africana. In the two dog cases, I switched from lac-ele-m (Asian elephant) to lac-loxo-africana on the second prescription. This is not really good practice but the dogs responded to both remedies in a very positive way. The reason for the switch is that each time the dogs were really not well at the time of seeing them and the only other dilution of the remedy I had was ‘the other elephant’. The horse only had the Asian elephant remedy.
I suspect that the major themes that are in these three cases are valid for both preparations and therefore, when prescribed on these themes they can be interchanged.
The only proving info I found is by Kees Dam, who also refers to the C-trituration by Rita Pasquale and Chandra de Zoysa.
Kees Dam writes the following about the remedy:
Also in the proving of Rita and Chandra there is a lot of calmness in mind and accepting – this can also be a curative symptom and then the opposite can (also) be found in lac elephantis – worrying, brooding, full of cares about others. For calmness in mind you have to be grounded and the elephant is built to be grounded.
Notes: Elephant milk, Lac elephantis maximus maximus trituration proving. The milk was from an elephant in Sri Lanka, 19./20.4.08. Rita Pasquale and Chandra de Zoysa.
C2: Elephant says: "I am a wanderer of the ancient times. The world has become too tight, too small for me. The sun of thousands of years has hardened my bones and they are like potentised now. In my genes there are the experiences of the very early times of earth. But I feel sad about the present time. There is no space any more for me. Even when I am considered as a holy being in Sri Lanka, the world does not respect my presence.
I carry in myself the experiences of thousands of other species, many of them have disappeared from this earth. I am very sad about this. Sadness about all who disappeared."
C3: Elephant says: " I combine my tenderness of my heart with my memories. My memories are stored in my heart, it's not in my brain, they are conserved in my heart. This kind of heart-memory is lacking in the human beings. This is what my milk can bring to you: my milk shall help that all the horrible happenings of wars, all your horrible behaviour shall be marked in your heart and that this memory shall go over to your children, so that they can learn from it without having to experience these horrible things themselves. My milk can store the experiences of war of generations, that means, the homeopathic remedy can bring up these memories and touch the heart, so that you become sad and it will really hurt.
This is why I am very much loved by children. I am so big and though so sweet and peaceful. This combination is very rare in the humans! The powerful nations like USA, Russia, China... they could learn from me.
I am a relative of the whale, who also can bring a lot of good to the humans. I am the ruler on the earth, the wale is the ruler in the sea. We are in constant contact, and are carrying the destiny of all creatures who are in between since thousands of years.
This itching on my skin is why I am loosing my patience: the time is getting to an end, take the chance to change, to regret your horrible actions, to show compassion with all living creatures on this planet - if you do so I as elephant will gain again my space and my liberty.
Give my milk to the powerful of this earth, to the managers of big companies, they will love it. I will soften them from inside and teach them to be compassionate.
the main themes, I retain from these cases and the proving are as follows: these animals appear to have an extra dimension/depth of knowing and being there for the others. But they are still individuals and this deepness and knowledge does not come up as a burden: it is there and available for all to benefit. It is a deepness of knowing about how to live together.
