“My
Husband Left Me and I Can’t Go On”
Alumina (aluminum), a medicine for individuals who do not develop
a healthy sense of self or individual identity, generally due to a
rigid upbringing, was prescribed. Many people go through life borrowing
ideas, beliefs, and preferences of others since they have not acquired
their own. They can become quite dependent on others, as in Dorothy’s
case. Knowing that people needing this medicine often suffer from
longstanding constipation, we had inquired about Dorothy’s bowel patterns
and discovered constipation had been a significant problem throughout
her childhood.
Dorothy called two weeks later and reported, “There’s definitely been
a major change. It’s quite miraculous. I feel in so many ways back
to myself. I hardly think of my husband. I’ve started being interested
in other men again. People can see the change in me.” Her physical
symptoms were also diminished.
Over the next six months, the improvement continued. “I feel much
more in touch with myself, like who I was before. I feel like I’m
starting a new life. I’ve gone through some periods of depression,
but I can stand outside of it and look at it. I can go into dark places,
observe them, and come out quickly. I’m surprised at how resilient
I feel. I talked to my husband. I didn’t have any strong feelings
about him. You reach a point where you can’t overreact to all of it.”
She had no more urges to cut her wrists. Three months after taking
the medicine, her medical doctor found no more nodules on her thyroid.
Dorothy needed six doses of Alumina over the next three years, during
which she developed a much stronger sense of self. Previously she
had looked to others to establish that sense. This was no longer necessary.
She felt more sexual, attractive, and hopeful. She has expressed a
strong desire to connect with a man in an enduring relationship but
in a more whole and healthy way than before the Alumina. Although
her moods fluctuate somewhat she generally is quite healthy and she
has no desire whatsoever to be with her ex-husband, who has since
remarried. Dorothy has been a homeopathic patient for sixteen years
and relies on it as her primary source of health care, consulting
conventional medical doctors infrequently.
