Remedy chart

Of the halogens, fluorine is the most reactive. It is so reactive that it is not found free in nature, but in a combined state. It is a pale yellow, corrosive gas, which reacts with practically all organic and inorganic substances. Contact of liquid fluorine with skin causes irritation and burns. In the body it causes progressive skeletal changes, called skeletal fluorosis. In addition, fluorine binds calcium in the body, causing ionic calcium to decrease; this, in turn, causes secondary hyperparathyroidism.

ESSENCE

Social climbers in the worst sense. Attracted to "shiny" things (jewelry, cars, glamorous women, etc.) and money. Materialistic, domineering, and preoccupied with the fulfillment of his sexual cravings. Seems uncaring or indifferent toward loved ones or family. Internally feels isolated and often anxious.

NOTES

- Fl-ac acts on the lower tissues of the body much like Silica, which it follows and precedes well. It is useful after the abuse of Silica.

- "A constant, irresistible desire to walk in the open air, its does not fatigue," is characteristics of Fl-ac.

- Like all halogens, Fl-ac tends to breaks bonds, so will often get married and divorced multiple times. Hurriedness applies to relationships as well, e.g., met yesterday, move in today.

PRIME INDICATIONS

1. Love of liberty. Self-satisfied, dominant, frivolous, materialistic.

2. Warm-blooded.

3. Very energetic. Short sleep better.

4. Strong sexual desire.

5. Desire for pungent and spicy food.

6. Destruction and caries; acrid discharges.

DIFFERENTIALS

The close resemblance of Fluoric acid to Silica is evident. But sweat symptoms and modalities as to heat and cold will be quite sufficient to differentiate. Fl-ac and Sil are complementary. Fl-ac follows Sil when the latter has improved the general health and tone of the patient but has failed to complete the cure, and aggravation from cold changes to aggravation from heat. Fl-ac is also antidotal when suppuration and destruction of tissue has been increased by the too frequent repetition of Silica in a low potency. In patients of the Silica or Fl-ac type, the earlier symptoms may call for Pulsatilla or Thuja. Then the sequence will be Pulsatilla (or Thuja), SIlica and Fluoric acid.

Roger notes

Fluoric Acid

Remember we put Fluoric Acid in the insensitive group? It is one of the least sensitive of the remedies. Actually crude people. Crude people who have a great interest in pleasure and sex. Abnormally high. Especially men and they tend to be sort of aggressive type people. They have a sort of a sense of superiority and with that they try and boss people around into doing what they want them to do, without any real feelings of caring for those people. So, they have this sense of emptiness inside because they don’t have connections with people, so they feel sort of isolated inside. Sort out of a sense of trying to compensate for that emptiness, they go more and more into sexual pleasures. More and more into sexual extremes. These are people that go into extremes of sexual perversions. Like Platinum, but in a more crude sort of way, where they want to have very exciting situations, 2 or 3 women with them, or they want their wife or their girlfriend to make love with them and 2 or 3 other men, something like this, sort of extreme sorts of behavior. Sort of push people into this kind of thing. Depravity. With that, they have priapism, strong erections, troublesome erections and even sleeplessness from erections. Then eventually, later in the pathology when the energy really becomes depleted from this behavior, then they have trouble with erections, impotence, and orgasms without erections and what are the two other remedies that we talked about last time? Chininum can have very easy erections and sometimes emissions without erections, but Caladium is one and the other one was? Nat-phos has what? Nightly emissions, every single night. Bufo has lots of masturbation and high sex drive, but no problems with impotence. The other one was Agnus Castus. Right. So, just like Agnus Castus and like other remedies that have strong materialistic tendencies and cravings and lots of fulfillment on the physical plane, they end up with anxiety about health, so Fluoric Acid has that problem too. But you will see that basically in all of the remedies that have real enjoyment in life or real attachment to material things. Those will be the first remedies that end up with anxiety about health. So, like Arsenicum, which is so materialistic, like Sulphur, like Platinum, which has great sexual cravings. They go into great fear of death and anxiety about health. Agnus Castus does, so that is just a generality when you see that one side, you know it’s going to head towards the other side eventually.

We forgot to mention, but Fluoric Acid is one of our hottest remedies. They are worse from heat. They are worse from warm drinks, and from warm applications. Interestingly, it is listed, on the other hand, as the remedy that is written as having incredible tolerance for doing hard work out in the sun. But, mostly it is very much worse from heat and better from cold and from cold bathing. They are hurried. They speak fast usually. Now, there are some peculiar physical things that will really help you come to the diagnosis. The first thing is varices. They are one of the big remedies for varicose veins, even in men with varices. They have a dripping nose like a faucet, like a tap running.

They have headaches. Headaches which are better from what? Urination. It is one of the main remedies that a headache will come on if they don’t urinate. They have problems with their prostate. A lot of times these hypersexual remedies will have prostate problems. With the prostate, it blots up their flow of urine, so they have a hard time going. But, if they don’t go, if they don’t make themselves go even though it is difficult to sort of strain out the urine, then the headache will come on.
