A Remedy for Donald Trump

Ever since Donald Trump declared his candidacy for President of the United States, he has been dropping symptoms all over the place.  For a classical homeopath, it is a gold mine, a veritable treasure trove.

Up until today, I thought I pretty much knew what remedy he could take to get over his germaphobia and become a less egotistical, pompous leader and grow a little thicker skin.

Then a story came out on the internet that British Prime Minister Theresa May held Donald Trump’s hand when going down the stairs and down a ramp because he is afraid of falling or going down ramps.  Assuming this is true, this is a great homeopathic symptom.

Let’s look at some symptoms for him.  But first, a note on the symptoms.  These aren’t judgments.  They are simple observations.  Just as occurs in a homeopathy appointment.

And now, the symptoms:

• Dictatorial–he is, without a doubt, an authoritarian.
• Egotism–need I say more?
• Boaster–a YUUUGE symptom
• Liar–alternative facts
• Ambition
• Want of moral feeling–grab ’em by the p***y, cheating on his wives.
• Sensitive to the criticism–Trumplethinskin
• Disobedience–the rules don’t apply to me
• Intolerant of contradiction–^^^
• Pompous–inflated sense of self importance
• Fear of contagion–germaphobe
• Fear of downward motion–needing to hold a hand while walking down the stairs. There is actually a symptom of fear of falling down the stairs but there aren’t enough remedies in it to utilize.  Many people actually have this fear, so we need to use a bigger symptom.

Repertorization of Donald Trump Symptoms

This screen shows the top 19 remedies but there were 346 remedies that showed up in the repertorization.  So we need to add some other characteristics in with the knowledge we already know about him, that cannot be repertorized.  Knowledge of remedies is equally important.

We know he is very ostentacious, likes flashy buildings, beautiful women, etc.  How he looks and how the people look who are with him is important.  All of his wives were models. (F)

We know that he is obsessed with building a wall. (F)

We know that he cannot maintain a relationship, as he is on his third wife.  They are likely very superficial relationships as well.  (F)

He likes to fire people. (F)

He’s overweight. (C)

The remedies in the 17th column of the periodic table are the halogens.  All of the remedies in that column have issues with making and breaking bonds, and the actual elements do as well.  Fluorine has that issue and is also very flashy and concerned about appearance.  So we will focus on Fluorine.

The flagship Fluorine remedy is Fluoric Acid.  (This is the remedy Ted Danson’s character, Sam Malone, in Cheers needs.)  All the symptoms above, marked with an (F) are symptoms of Fluorine.

There is a connection between building the wall and his germaphobia.  Walls help to keep germs out.  Unfortunately, they also keep people out, which is a struggle for Fluorine.

Firing people also breaks bonds between people. There is a symptom in the homeopathic repertory which is Mind, Delusion, Servants, he must get rid of.  One remedy.  Fluoric Acid. And interestingly, the remedy for Arnold Schwartzenegger, who replaced Trump in The Celebrity Apprentice, is Fluoric Acid as well!

I was willing to accept Fluoric Acid as the remedy Donald Trump needs (without having looked it up, but just thought it a good fit), until I heard this symptom of fear of falling down the stairs.  So I decided to take a look.  That symptom is not covered by Fluoric Acid and neither is the symptom of germaphobia.  (See the repertory above.)

But Calcarea (Calc) does cover those two symptoms, and many others that aren’t covered by the fluorine.  It covers his sensitivity to what others think, his boasting and lying.  As you can see, Fluoric Acid fills in nicely where Calc doesn’t cover the symptoms.

So I would give Donald Trump Calcarea Fluoricum. Calc Fluor. Many people who need this remedy wish they could keep a relationship going.  It is often the first time in their lives that they can, after a dose or two of Calc Fluor.  They would like to be thicker skinned, and feel less sensitive to the opinions of others–this is true of all Calcarea remedies.

It is important to point out that homeopathy isn’t a simple math problem.  It doesn’t always work this easily.

Another aspect of Fluorine to bring up as it relates to the general population is that Fluorine is a superficial element (thus the concern about appearances).  It acts on the surface of things. So Fluoride treatments, while not completely safe, are administered to the surface of the teeth.  Compare that to Fluoridated water, which is administered internally.  This is where the true problems arise. For example, fluoride causes soft tissue tumors in women.  It also used to be used to suppress the thyroid function when patients were diagnosed with Hyperthyroid.  (Ever wonder why no one’s thyroid is functioning properly anymore?)  Luckily with homeopathic remedies the Fluoride is potentized so it is safe.

So if anyone knows Donald Trump and if he wants to get over his germaphobia and fear of falling down stairs, have him get ahold of me.  If you know someone like him, have that person call as well.

The Body Wants What the Body Wants!

The Cliffs of Moher

In May last year, my husband and I took a trip to Ireland.  We did a good deal of hiking.  While hiking near the Cliffs of Moher, my high ankle, just above the ankle bone, became excruciatingly painful, without explanation.  The tighter I tied my hiking boots, the worse it became.  I managed to find a handful of tissues to stuff in the boot and I made it through the hike.

It was a mystery to me because I didn’t sprain my ankle, the hiking boots were broken in, and, well, there was just no explanation, except perhaps overuse from all the hiking we had done. So,  I tried Arnica, which helped a bit.  I tried Bryonia, and it did nothing.  I managed to get through the rest of the trip, with one more big hike scheduled to the top of a mountain.

Upon returning home, the swelling receeded a bit and I could see a large bump under the surface of the skin.  I determined I had a ganglion cyst on my ankle.  I had never had a ganglion cyst, so I was surprised to see it.

Apparently Ganglion Cysts can be caused by irritation to the joint or tendons, according to many medical websites. A previous injury makes one susceptible to forming a ganglion cyst. (I had sprained that ankle several years prior.) It is a fluid filled cyst that contains the same lubricant found around tendons.  Not wanting to irritate it anymore, I didn’t do any hiking in the summer.

There is a remedy, Ruta Graveolens, that is a specific for Ganglion Cysts.  There are 32 other remedies, but I really didn’t have many symptoms to go by.  Since I didn’t want to confuse a new constitutional remedy, I chose to NOT take Ruta.  I did some experimenting and used an essential oil, Frankincense, mixed with a carrier oil.  I rolled it onto the Cyst several times per day.  It eventually disappeared by mid to late July.

The Cliffs of Moher

In September, I started to develop plantar fasciitis.  It seemed to get worse every time I did any serious walking.  I had hoped a different constitutional remedy would help.  It didn’t.

There was a study published in the British Journal of Podiatry in August of 2000 which showed a significant improvement using homeopathic Ruta Graveolens for plantar fasciitis versus a placebo.  Ruta is a go to remedy for any injury or irritation of connective tissue.  First sprained ankle (didn’t take Ruta), then the tendon with the ganglion cyst and now the inflamed fascia on the foot.

Twice in a short time and three times within several years, my body was displaying symptoms of Ruta in the same area of the body.  Had I taken it the first time with the sprained ankle, or later with the ganglion cyst, rather than using the Essential Oil, I may have been able to avoid the pain of the plantar fasciitis.  There are several remedies for plantar fasciitis, but the symptoms matched those of Ruta, i.e., pain and irritability worse from movement, and the symptoms are particularly worse from stepping on the foot.

The lesson here is to listen to the body, and take the appropriate remedy, sooner rather than later.  The Body Wants What the Body Wants!
