Milk Matters


Dear Colleague

This edition of my Newsletter is a little later than intended as I have been much occupied lately in overseeing the final production details of my new book: The Lacs A Materia Medica & Repertory. You'll be able to purchase it early in September.

In an attempt, while writing the book, to review as many original proving sources as possible, I had the German provings of Lac Phoca and Lac Suillinum translated into English. For those of you who have an interest in original provings, these can now be read in full in the Provings section of my website.

This Newsletter concerns itself with a case of Lac delphinum (view here) a remedy described by Nancy Herrick as being much like Phosphorous (sociable; fun-loving; clairvoyant; belonging to the Light) and with an etymological connection to the wolf (that mammal providing us with a Lac remedy most associated with the Shadow).

Lac delphinum is a remedy associated with the Cancer miasm (perfection, especially in the matter of relationships, being a core issue). However the proving diaries contained many entries that provided links to Sycosis and this case explores those threads.

I hope you find what I have to share both interesting and beneficial.

Best wishes
Patricia Hatherly
