CORA’S STORY

“Unless I am perfect”

“My long-term problem is heartburn and diarrhea, and I take medication for that. I have been told I have Reynaud’s syndrome due to my hands becoming ice cold in the winter, but that doesn’t really bother me. I have had occasional bouts of eczema when it feels like my skin is burning. Sleep is all right, but I tend to get restless at night and can have a hard time falling asleep. Oh, I should mention that when I was a pre-teen, I had stomachaches that felt like my stomach was collapsing inward. I was probably bulimic, making myself throw up if I ate too much, but no one knew that.

I shouldn’t complain since I have a good job and a good marriage, but I am prone to anxiety attacks, worry all the time about money and about growing old, and fear the worst every time my husband goes away on a business trip. My parents are in good health, but I can’t help but think, what would happen if they die? And then I worry that possibly my kids will become stamped by my anxieties as well.

My parents are retired now and were both psychotherapists. Our dinner conversations were always intellectual. It seemed like they both knew everything. From the earliest age, it did not seem an option for me to be anything but a perfect little girl. And though it never seemed like I actually attained that high level, my peers often describe me as Miss Perfect. For me, since my family did not squander compliments on me, it was normal to play piano, dance, and engage in competitive activities such as gymnastics while also getting high grades.

While I am not ambitious in the sense of having to reach the top, I do usually get responsible work positions, such as office manager or program coordinator. It is often a surprise to me when I get a promotion, as it seems I can always do much better.”

ASSESSING THE DAMAGE

The emotional coldness and high expectations of Cora’s parents fueled a notion that unless she is perfect, she is not a viable human being. This state of mind finds its mirror image in the materia medica of arsenic trioxide, the homeopathic preparation of which is called Arsenicum Album.

Although useful as a preservative, arsenic is better known as a deadly poison. Its effects include a sense of burning, reflected in Cora’s heartburn as well as the searing pain of her eczema, and a general constriction of circulation, as is evident in Cora’s frigidly cold hands. Due to the enteric nervous system, the “brain” in the gut the tendency of prolonged anxiety to promote stool malformation as in diarrhea is well established.

There is also an understandable presentiment that death is imminent. This makes time precious, leaving little margin for error as one seeks to finalize one’s affairs so that the security of one’s loved survivors is ensured. This explains why Cora
