The remedy Arsenicum is made from arsenic, which is a metal on the periodic table, and has long been used as a poison. As a poison, it affects the nervous system, and has characteristic burning pains, particularly throughout the digestive tract.

The six genotypes which I have just completed examining in my recent blog series form the complete set of constitutional types which we find in people who are in a relative state of health. There are six additional constitutional types, called ‘phenotypes’, which may co-exist with a person’s natural constitution, and which represent the state [...]

Fielding your questions about the genotypes has made me realize that it would be worth me spending some of my words today clarifying some important aspects which define what the constitution is, and where it fits into an overall conception of healthcare.

Exploring the frontier of consciousness itself is actually greater than all of the curing and healing work which needs to be undergone for the physical aspects of health. A clue to this reality, as I’ve written before, is that even [...]
