Spotlight on Agaricus

- Elaine Lewis

In my opinion, Agaricus should be added to the rubric, Generals: night, amel.

Along the lines of stupidness and awkwardness, think of Agaricus in retarded children when you've given Baryta carb. and it didn't work and the child has twitches.

What else do we have for Agaricus...just a few more indicators:

Sleepy after meals.
Hiccups.
Gas and bloating with the smell of rotten eggs. (By the way, Agaricus craves eggs, and the client I mentioned above ate 4 eggs every single day.)
Diarrhea--grass green.
Bearing-down pains in pelvis.
Headache as if a nail driven in the head, especially the right side, eventhough this is basically a left-sided remedy.
Better from warmth.
Better from motion.
Worse from cold weather and cold drinks.
Worse before a storm.
The sun can cause headaches, as in Natrum muriaticum.
Vertigo with an inclination to fall backwards.
Extremities: As if the blood was cut off to the feet or hands--numbness, tingling, burning, biting. Intermittent claudication, better moving, worse resting, feet like blocks of ice.
Electric-like pains.
Itching without eruption that moves around.
Anxiety about health, especially cancer; you may think you have an Arsenicum case or a Nitric acid case in front of you. He may be very dependent on you for constant reassurance.
A preoccupation with the occult: ghosts, dead people, things associated with dead people like coffins; dreaming about dead people.

In contrast to these morbid and debilitating thoughts about his health is a state of fearlessness. I remember a case of Agaricus where the patient had become proficient and certified in so many fields, including dentistry, the martial arts, and chiropractic, and a long, long list of other things, that it was perceived by the practitioner as an indicator of his anxiety about health; that he needed to make sure he had control over everything so that nothing bad could happen. This over-extension, trying to do too much, overworking, overachieving in order to have control, is indicative of the Cancer Miasm. (I say this for those of you who are using miasms now as a way of confirming your remedy.)
Diagonal symptoms, for example--right knee, left shoulder.
Grimacing before speaking.

Diseases you might look for this remedy in: Bell's Palsy, Chorea, MS, Phobic disorder, Epilepsy, Sciatica, hay fever where there is itching in the ears and upper palate; oh, and Frostbite.
