La Universidad de La Habana en el período de 1937-1962

She is aggravated from sleep; she may wake up not long after sleep or during the first hours after sleep from chocking feeling in throat; she wants to rise up and even open the window for fresh air. She is so active and full of energy that she usually wakes up early in the morning; she just

can’t stay in bed; if she is a housewife she will immediately start taking care of the house; old Lachesis housewives could wake up at 6pm and start preparing food for noon, then clean the house, etc.

If she happens to sleep one or two hours more than usual, either in the morning or in noon she will wake up worse than before sleep; she will feel so heavy, even tired and often with headache or a heavy head; she will say to herself: “What’s the matter with me? Others are so much better after sleep and the more they sleep the better they are”.

5.26 A homeopathic doctor should never prescribe according to the patient’s phenotype

As concerns irritability, we will usually find Lachesis having two kinds of behavior; the one corresponds to her genotype or primal behavior and the other to her phenotype or secondary behavior. You must always discriminate between primal and secondary behavior; genotype or primal behavior is the most important of all; phenotype is useful only to guide us to the genotype and it may even be seemingly opposite to it. This is in accordance to the Universal Law of Uniqueness and Diversity. There is one genotype or primal behavior but from it, can origin many phenotypes or secondary behaviors.

Her genotype or primal behavior is that she is easily angry; easily irritable and usually expresses her anger no matter what; but then you may often find her adopting a phenotype or secondary behavior that is quite the opposite: she is “Ms Calm”. How on earth can you not be confused? A very useful criteria is her syphilitic exaggeration and of course her syphilitic intentions.

There comes to an inexperienced homeopathic doctor a seemingly “God-fearing” old lady who seems very calm: “Hallo doctor; how are you?

How’s your wife and children? Good? I do hope so! May God bless you”

Then the doctor proceeds to the homeopathic history and asks her: “Are you easily angry?”, “For God sake, doctor no! Not at all! Why should I? I believe so much in God and I have worked so much with myself. I always forgive people, even when I should be angry I say my prayers and forgive others; that’s how we should all be, peaceful and forgiving and full of love for all people!”

Next thing, the inexperienced homeopathic doctor notes down on his paper or computer: “Very calm, introvert and with high moral principles;

a psoric person”. I say: “Shame on you doctor! You are awarded the medal of the open palm!” (laughing) It’s a great rule in true Homeopathy:

Never judge by appearances! Never judge by behavior! You must always unmask your patient! You must always seek for his genotype, for his primal behavior, for his intentions.

At times, a patient of mine may say to me: “Oh doctor, I must have mislead you last time you saw me, because I answered totally wrongly to your questions about my personality and you may have given me the wrong medicine although I am feeling better”. And I say to him: “Who told you that I note down whatever you tell me, just as you have said it?”

(laughing)

If I believe anything they say to me then we are both lost, patient and doctor; they will lose the chance to get well and I will lose most of my patients and especially the syphilitic ones who are indeed, nowadays, the majority of patients. Never take for granted what a patient says to you!

Never, ever! The more he exaggerates the more you must doubt! The more he seems to know himself and the more he is proud about this, the more you should doubt.

So, when a Lachesis says that she is “extremely calm” and that she “loves all people”, the more you should doubt about it. My granny, God rest her soul, was a very loquacious and syphilitic person, a typical Lachesis. No

matter what she was talking about, after two or three sentences she used to say like a cassette player: “God bless my children and grand children and all people!” Then she used to gossip all people in the neighborhood and even her children and grandchildren; she used to put words in others mouth and had them quarrel among them; she couldn’t leave anyone at rest!

Exaggeration, hypocrisy and syphilitic intentions: these are three very important criteria that help you discriminate secondary behavior from primal one, phenotype from genotype.

5.27 Mean and domineering or hypocritically “good and sensitive”

So you must realize that Lachesis can be found in two versions: As mean, domineering and irritable which is the primal behavior version and as hypocritically “good and sensitive” which is the secondary behavior version. The first version is not so frequently found nowadays because any person having such a behavior encounters so much social reaction that he will have to change expression. So, it is expected that, many syphilitic persons tend not to show their primal behavior and intentions and tend to adopt several socially accepted secondary behaviors.

In conclusion Lachesis is primarily an irritable person. What irritates her?

Anything that is contrary to her domineering attachment. If her husband does anything not her way she gets angry; if her children do anything not her way she gets angry; Attachment leads to anger. Anger is a lower Intellectual Emotion that originates from attachment; the more the attachment the more the anger.

So, why does Lachesis get angry? What are the usual causes of her irritability? She gets angry whenever things are not done her way;

whenever she is not the dominant person in a love affair, in family, in work, in society… anywhere! She gets even angrier when anyone under

her dominance tries to free himself and dispute her authority. Of course, if you ask her about her irritability she may mask things: usually she won’t say “my kids/husband makes me angry”; instead she will often say:

“my kids/husband distresses me/hurt me/saddens me/makes me suffer!”
