<span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span><br />
<h3 align="left"><span style="color: purple;">This is the story of a sweet, goofy and shy boy, named John Simon Ritchie.</span> </h3><div align="left"></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size: small;">Before you think that I’ve got my posts mixed up, let me reassure you: yes, I’m writing about Sid Vicious - member of the Sex Pistols, and one of the most infamous punk rockers of all times!</span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size: small;">Born in South London, in 1957 to military parents, his mother with RAF and his father a guardsman at Buckingham Palace, who also played trombone in London Jazz clubs. </span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size: small;">By the time Ritchie was 2 years old, his father had abandoned the family, and his mother was struggling for financial support, often having to move to find temporary work. At some point, in an attempt to solve her housing problem, she claimed to be a heroin addict so that they would get priority for social housing. Living amongst heroin addicts, she soon became one too.</span></div><div align="left"></div><h3 align="left"><span style="color: purple;">It was in 1973 London punk scene that Ritchie and John Lyndon ( best known as Johnny Rotten) first met, and Ritchie changed his name to Sid Vicious, after Lyndon’s hamster called Sid.</span> </h3><div align="left"></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size: small;">And just like Lyndon’s hamster otherwise known for his tame and docile character, all the sudden turning vicious and biting Ritchie’s finger; so this otherwise shy boy, a fan of David Bowie, and interesting clothes, turned into: Sid Vicious! </span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size: small;">The pair squatted together and sang Alice Cooper to the tune of Sid Vicious tambourine, this proved to be a mix success as people paid just to get them to stop.</span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size: small;">Sid Vicious liked Vivienne Westwood clothes, and was often seen at her shop: SEX, where some claim he probably did more shoplifting than buying.</span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size: small;">A fan of the Sex Pistols, he was always at their gigs, and when their bass player Glen Matlock left, he was a natural replacement.</span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size: small;">For some he was a dedicated musician who could learn quickly, and would never give up, for others someone who couldn’t play to save his life.</span></div><div align="left"></div><h3 align="left"><span style="color: purple;">In one thing all who’ve seen him on stage seem to agree: Sid Vicious was, and still is to this day, the charisma, and the attitude of Punk Rock.</span></h3><h4 align="left"></h4><div align="left"><span style="font-size: small;">A drug user, of mostly amphetamine sulphate, and speed, he would go on stage, with his bare chest and arms slashed, words such as: “Give me a Fix” carved in his flesh, purple nail polish, and a chain and padlock, to which he’d lost the key, around his neck. </span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size: small;">He often abused his audience, verbally and physically, but they loved him for that…moving in the room to whatever side of the stage Sid happened to be, just to be closer to him. </span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size: small;">Sid Vicious, did not become an heroin addict until he met his girlfriend Nancy Spungen, an American Sex Pistols groupie, who had been a heroin addict since 14 years old. </span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></div><h4 align="left"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: purple;">Soon Sid, Nancy and heroin became an inseparable trio.</span> </span></h4><div align="left"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size: small;">After a turbulent few months with the band’s manager trying to get him to kick the habit, and even attempting to have Nancy kidnapped and sent back to America, Sid left the band and started a solo career with Nancy Spungen as his manager. </span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size: small;">Within less than a year they were both death. Nancy found murdered in the room they shared at the infamous Chelsea Hotel in New York, Sid unable to recall what happened, but hounded by the thought that he might had been the one plunging his knife into his lover’s stomach. </span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size: small;">Soon after he hooked up with another girl, Michele Robinson, and continued his descent into a path of no return, drug taking, drinking and getting involved in fights at his own gigs, he was eventually arrested and charged with Nancy’s death. </span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></div><h3 align="left"><span style="color: purple;">Whilst in jail, he was deprived of heroin, ridden with remorse for a crime he didn’t know if he’d committed or not, and grieving for Nancy, he was repeatedly assaulted and raped.</span> </h3><div align="left"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size: small;">Fifty five days later he was released on bail. His new girlfriend and his mum organized a small party to welcome him home. At this party he overdosed on heroin but refused to go to hospital afraid of being taken back to jail. Seemly recovered, he went to bed never to wake up again. On his jacket’s pocket a suicide note telling his mother that he and Nancy had a suicide pact, and that he wished to be buried next to her. </span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size: small;">He didn’t get his last wish, as his mum only find the note after he had been cremated, but his ashes were scattered over Nancy’s grave at the Jewish cemetery where she is buried. </span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size: small;">A tale of two lovers who loved each other to the bitter end, but destroyed each other in the process. </span></div><br />
<h3 align="left"><span style="color: purple;">Sid Vicious remedy is Sulphuric Acid:</span></h3><div align="left"></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size: small;">Highly corrosive and extremely dangerous, it was popular in 19<sup>th</sup> and early 20<sup>th</sup> Century medicine, in diluted form: known as Elixir of Vitriol, and used to treat lead poisoning, and some stomach complaints.</span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size: small;">As a homeopathic potency this remedy has been used to treat patients whose personality alternates between complete dejection and sardonic disposition. The patient feels that everything must be done in a hurry, eventually leading to a state of total apathy.</span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size: small;">This remedy has been used in advanced alcoholic states. </span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size: small;">People who can benefit from this remedy give great importance to their love life, and they tend to form relationships where it’s all or nothing. Although they can be very loving and caring to their partners they can also be cynical and sarcastic, especially if they feel they are not being loved back with the same intensity.</span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size: small;">They are fiery people, who can descend into fractious icy cold states where everything becomes disappointing and pointless. They lack consistency in what they do as they cannot keep up their intensity without suffering from burnt out. </span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size: small;">Physically they can suffer from an internal tremor sensation all over their body, without an external cause. A sensation as if a lump in throat. Many blurred vision symptoms and hearing distortions.</span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size: small;">Little is known about Sid Vicious physical condition, apart from a stay in hospital due to jaundice: a liver condition that causes yellowing of the skin. </span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size: small;">At a psychological level it is however easier to understand how well the characteristics of this remedy fit his controversial, short, and tormented, but inspired existence. </span></div><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

</div><div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Bob Dylan is his artistic name, born in 1941 to the Zimmerman, an American/Jewish family, he became famous in the sixties for his Country/Folk songs. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">His lyrics quickly become a makeshift flag for civil liberty causes, and many saw Dylan has a mouthpiece for the oppressed. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Under lyrics such as "Blowin in the wind", "Times are a-changin", entire generations have rebelled against the establishment and fought for human rights, better conditions, social justice.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Yet no one has been such a reluctant a leader as Bob Dylan: shrugging his shoulders he prefers to warn us against "false prophets".</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">In 1965 Bob caught controversy when he introduced electric guitar to his performance, making a transition from Folk to Rock with his song “Like a rolling stone”. The audience booed him, someone cried out: Judas; he retorted by telling his band: "Play it f**ng loud!". </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span lang="EN-GB">Today the song remains a milestone in the history of Rock&Roll, it has been covered by many, and is the name of one of the most famous bands of all times: The Rolling stones.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><h3 class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: purple;">Dylan's homeopathic remedy is Heroin:</span></h3><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">Heroin is an artificially made drug derived from Opium. It was initially produced and prescribed to combat the effects of Morphine addiction. <br />
</span></div><span lang="EN-GB">Heroin can be taken orally, smoked, inhaled, or injected.</span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB"> It is considered one of the dirtiest drugs, especially in injected form, and a working class drug. <br />
<br />
Many users make a progression from Oxycontin, a prescription painkiller to Heroin when they can’t find a supply. Most become regular Heroin users this way, as the powerful effect of the Heroin rush makes it difficult to revert back to prescription drugs. <br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-GB">In medicine it's used as a painkiller, a vasoconstrictor, and a sedative in terminal <span style="background-color: yellow;"><span style="background-color: white;">conditions with severe </span></span><span style="background-color: white;">pain. It has also been used as pain management for cardiac arrest and pos-cesarean section. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-GB"><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">Physical symptoms of recreational use include constricted pupils, constipation, slurred speech, runny nose, collapsed veins, and scarring at the entry point of the needle: known as “tracks“. </span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB"></span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB"><span lang="EN-GB"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Heroin used in recreation causes both a sense of euphoria and blissful relaxation difficult to be matched by other drugs.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">It can cause cardiovascular and respiratory symptoms which if not quickly treated with the injection of anti-opiate, can result in death.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"></div></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">At a psychological level, Heroin brings a sense of protection, love, and warmth: a temporary return to the mother’s womb. <br />
<br />
Heroin addicts try to get back to this feeling as often as they can. People who are susceptible to become Heroin addicts are normally people who have been through great emotional trauma, who are very sensitive and get easily hurt. They also tend to have a greater spiritual dimension then most. </div><br />
The drug seems to provide users, at least temporarily, with respite, solace for their emotional wounds, and lack of social support, with many practising retractism and refusing to engage in society according to pre-established models.<br />
<br />
Once addicted they become deceivers, going to any lengths in order to obtain the drug, but there is still a child like innocence about them. <br />
<br />
They are not arrogant or aggressive people, but tend to humble themselves, their ego dissolved through the drug use and a need for transcendence, where emotion and physical pain can be redeemed, at least while the fix lasts. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Users can appear flaky and tend to avoid social commitment of any kind: feeling that cannot support others, but rather need support themselves. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Dylan has been a self confessed Heroin user at some point in his life, and he has psychological and physical characteristics that point to the symptoms of this. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Nevertheless, he is an inspired individual who has been able to use this personality characteristics to the benefit of many, through his music, his poetry, his art, and his political stance. </div><br />
Characteristically he does all of this not out of an imposing ego but out of humility, not thinking much of himself or of what he does. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">He has been recently awarded the Medal of Freedom by Barac Obama, and compared to the greatest composers, poets and philosophers of all times. </div></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">He doesn’t advertise himself in this way, and refuses to be seduced by this apparent reverence that some bestow on him. <br />

<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong><span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-size: large;">Rod Stewart’s homeopathic remedy is Iodum:<o:p></o:p></span></span></strong></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Iodum in homeopathic potency is used where there is a thyroid
imbalanced whether overactive or under active, thyroid cancer, fast metabolic
rate leading to malabsorption muscle wasting and thinness, laryngitis, chronic
voice ailments such as a husky voice or voice loss, and various heart
conditions such as palpitations, hypertrophy, a sensation of chest
constriction and so on. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Although there are a few Iodum patients with a slow metabolism and
a tendency to obesity the majority tend to be light weight, sometimes even
emaciated although overeating – but this doesn’t protect them against cardiovascular diseases like everyone
else. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">On a psychological level the Iodum personality type tends to be
hyperactive: they are compelled to do too much, they enjoy running. They have
an overactive mind with an over concern about forgetting they tasks - they make
mental notes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Another dominant keynote
is their desire for change: change to their environment, job, relationships,
they tire easily of routine and predictability, they excitement in their lives.
<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">They have a great sense of humour and are able to laugh at
themselves, but they can also be oversensitive when others make fun of them.
They are not known for their patience, they can become easily irritable. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Stewart's focus is and has always been on the heart: on his songs, on his sexual relationships, on his concerns about a possibility of inherited heart disease.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">He has also demonstrated his desire for change many times, both in his career: he played with many bands; his relationships breakups; his wandering spirit ( when younger he was even arrested in Spain charged with vagrancy). His passion for fast cars and for railway modelling another expression of this desire to wonder.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">On a physical level the characteristics of Iodum are also apparent in his tall and slender frame and on the characteristic rough voice, even on the ailments that are throat centred. </span></span></div>

<br />
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="color: purple;"><strong>What makes Johnny Depp instantly recognisable in any one of his characters and at the same so different and unique?</strong></span><br /><br />Depp didn’t have formal training in drama before becoming an actor. In fact in had very few academic qualifications when he left high school at 15 to form his own band. He was fascinated by music and was given a guitar at the age of 12 years old - within a year he had mastered it on his own, and start playing his first gigs. And still plays: he is a musician as well as an actor and producer.</span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-GB">He learnt to tap into his subconscious and to manifest his characters out of his personal experiences. <br /><br />He is also very well read, and I sense that he has tailored his own education according to his needs not from the generalised academic model that it is imposed on most of us. <br /><br />Johnny has found life tough, at times almost unbearable, as a child and a teenager. His parents moved continuously, he had no time to adapt or to make himself feel at home before they were on the move again. There was also domestic violence as their relationship broke down and eventually his dad left. <br /><br />Depp was a wild child and a challenging teenager. He self-harmed carving his own skin on occasions when the stress of family life was too much to bear; in his own admission he took every drug there was, and he shoplifted frequently with his friends. One of the things he took was a cords book from a music shop - with it he taught himself how to play the guitar.<br /><br />He is shy, he hates having his photo taken, and finds his fans’ attention intrusive at times. He is extremely protective of his family. He is a self-confessed romantic, and although he had several relationship breakdowns he now has a close knit family life in France, with Vanessa Paradis, the mother of his children. <br /><br />He has expressed strong views about America and its consumerism mentality, but he has often been forced to apologise and to justify his opinions. <br /><br />He complains the media takes his statements out of context - and yet I get the feeling that there is indeed a very irreverent side to him…perhaps is his Red-Indian blood ancestry calling for justice. Depp’s grandmother was either from a Creek or a Cherokee tribe, and he has made many references to this blood connection, and recently played a tribe man: Tonto. <br /><br /><span style="color: purple;"><strong>On a recent interview when asked if like his late friend the writer Hunter S. Thompson, </strong></span></span><span lang="EN-GB">he would also like to have his remains shot by a large cannon into the atmosphere, he joked that he would rather have then shot at one eye of the statue of Liberty. </span><br />
<br />
Depp like most Hollywood actors has made a large amount of money which he has used to surround himself and his young family with privacy: he bought a private island, and he has also employed a team of heavy handed bodyguards. He's reacted violently when provoked by paparazzi and has been briefly arrested a couple of times.<br />
<br />
His appearance and personal style is unkempt, well warn but much loved jeans and boots, and long hair - he plays with it when his not comfortable with the excessive applause and screaming from his fans. He has admitted that the long hair works like a curtain allowing himself not to be seen when it all gets too much. He also has a versatile collection of hats and other head gear. Oh and several tattoos, some meaningful like the Indian head in honour of his grandmother, and Betty Sue - his mother's name. Other seem to be a bit of hit and miss, like Wino Forever which used to read Winona Forever when he was engaged to Winona Ryder but that latter he decided that he preferred to call himself a wino even thought that he isn't than to have her name forever grafted on his skin...there is also a number 3 on his hand, done by a friend while he was asleep for no apparent reason. <br />
<br />
When he is acting, he metamorphes with the character, they become one. He has spoken of channelling his characters, he has also mentioned entering parallel realities, he has described his way of acting as a form of schizophrenia. <br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: purple;">His first significant role was Edward Scissorhands and since then he has treated us to a kaleidoscope of ever changing aspects of himself</span></strong><br />
<br />
Normally I distinguish between the actor’s own personality and the characters they play, but in Depp’s case, he has made it clear that this distinction doesn’t exist, and that the characters he plays are all different aspects of himself. <br />
<br />
In all his roles no matter how diverse they are we are constantly treated to a touch of eccentricity and geniality, threatened by a sense of impending danger, danger that his character twittering on the edge between insanity and normality might end up loosing it completely, might become a mass murder, might coalesce out of the silver screen to get us…<br />

<b><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Johnny Depp Talking about…</span><br /><span style="color: purple;"></span><br /><span style="color: purple;">Growing up</span></span></b><br />
“I can remember my parents fighting and us kids wondering who was going to go with whom if they got divorced.”<br />
<br />
“We moved like gypsies. From the time I was five until my teens we lived in 30 or 40 different houses. That probably has a lot to do with my transient life now. But it's how I was raised so I thought there was nothing abnormal about it. Wherever the family is, that's home.” <br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-small;"></span></b><span style="font-size: x-small;"></span><br />
“I grew up feeling like an obtuse piece of machinery. I hung around with bad crowds. We used to break and enter places. We'd break into the school and destroy a room or something. I used to steal things from stores.<br />
<br />
I started smoking at 12, lost my virginity at 13 and did every kind of drug there was by 14. Pretty much any drug you can name, I've done it. I wouldn't say I was bad or malicious, I was just curious.”<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-small;"></span></b><span style="font-size: x-small;"></span><br />
“I remember carving my initials on my arm and I've scarred myself from time to time since then. In a way your body is a journal and the scars are sort of entries in it.”<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-small;"></span></b><span style="font-size: x-small;"></span><br />
“As a teenager I was so insecure. I was the type of guy that never fitted in because he never dared to choose. I was convinced I had absolutely no talent at all. For nothing. And that thought took away all my ambition, too.”<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-small;"></span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: purple;">Becoming a father</span></span></b><span style="font-size: x-small;"></span><br />
“Anything I've done up till 27 May, 1999 was kind of an illusion, existing without living. My daughter, the birth of my daughter, gave me life.”<br />
<br />
“Having kids was a huge change for me. Becoming a father. But I think more than changing, I feel like I've been revealed to myself, I kind of found out who I was. When you meet your child for the first time and you're looking at this angel, you start realizing what an idiot you've been for so many years and how much time you've wasted. “<br />
<br />
<b></b><br />
<b><span style="color: purple;">The pressure of being in the public eye</span></b><br />
“You use your money to buy privacy because during most of your life you aren't allowed to be normal.”<br />
<br />
“The only gossip I'm interested in is things from the Weekly World News - 'Woman's bra bursts, 11 injured.' That kind of thing.”<br />
<br />
“This is a rumor-filled society and if people want to sit around and talk about whom I've dated, then I'd say they have a lot of spare time and should consider other topics... or masturbation.”<br />
<br />
“If there's anything I really want, it's privacy. You do get to where your money can help your family, and that's a great thing. You can buy that wristwatch you want, too. But mostly you now have to pay for simplicity. You use your money to buy privacy because during most of your life you aren't allowed to be normal. You're on display, always looked at, which puts you at a disadvantage for the people looking at you know that it's you. They say, "It's you!" But you don't know them. That's bad for an actor because the most important thing you can do is observe people. And now you can't because you're the one being observed.”<br />
<br />
<br />
<b></b><br />
<b><span style="color: purple;">On acting</span></b><br />
“I don't pretend to be captain weird. I just do what I do.”<br />
<br />
“With any part you play, there is a certain amount of yourself in it. There has to be, otherwise it's just not acting. It's lying.”<br />
<br />
“The character I've played, that I've responded to, there has been a lost-soul quality to them.”<br />
<br />
“The term "serious actor" is kind of an oxymoron, isn't it? Like "Republican party" or "aeroplane food".”<br />
<br />
“On a film you start to get closer and closer with the people you're working with, and it becomes like this circus act or this travelling family.”<br />
<br />
On being dragged behind a carriage in the woods on "Sleepy Hollow" <span lang="EN-GB">(1999): “I wasn't afraid of getting hurt. I was just afraid that the horses may relieve themselves on the journey.”</span><br />
<br />
“Sure, I find it touching, honestly, but awards<span lang="EN-GB"> are not as important to me as when I meet a ten-year-old kid who says, "I love Captain Jack Sparrow" . . . that's real magic for me.”</span><br />
<br />
“I think it's an actor's responsibility to change every time. Not only for himself and the people he's working with, but for the audience. If you just go out and deliver the same dish every time . . . it's meat loaf again . . . you'd get bored. I'd get bored.”<br />
<br />
“I got sick. I went to see dailies on Nightmare on Elm Street. I was 21, and didn't know what was going on. It was like looking in a huge mirror. It wasn't how I looked that bothered me, though I did look like a geek in that movie. It was seeing myself up there pretending.”<br />
<br />
<b></b><br />
<b><span style="color: purple;">Unconditional love</span></b><br />
“The only creatures that are evolved enough to convey pure love are dogs and infants.”<br />
<br />
“These are the most important people in my life. You know, I would die for these people. If someone were to harm my family or a friend or somebody I love - I would eat them. I might end up in jail for 500 years - but I would eat them.”<br />
<br />
<b></b><br />
<b><span style="color: purple;">Grounding</span></b><br />
“As far as being feet-on-the-ground, once again my kids and my girlfriend (Vanessa Paradis)<span lang="EN-GB"> have given me a proper foundation. A sense of home that I never had in my life, a real sense of a place to be.”</span><br />
<br />
“I pray on aeroplanes. I get instant religion during takeoff, then when we're safely in the air I sit there thinking about the fact that any little thing that goes wrong could send us crashing to the ground.”<br />
<br />
<br />
<b></b><br />
<b> <br /><br /><span style="color: purple;">Food</span></b><br />
"I'm not sure I could give up pork. Steak, OK. Maybe hamburgers. But nothing in the world can make me stop eating swine. I mean, I had a great-grandmother, Mimmy, who ate the greasiest food you ever saw and chewed tobacco till the day she died, and she lived to be 102."<br />
<br />

<b><span style="color: purple;">Trying to define who he is</span></b><br />
“Am I a romantic? I've seen Wuthering Heights<span lang="EN-GB"> (1939) ten times. I'm a romantic.”</span><br />
<br />
When asked by James Lipton<span lang="EN-GB"> on "Inside the Actors Studio" </span><span lang="EN-GB">what attracts him to funny hats: “I don't know, maybe I just read too much Dr Seuss</span><span lang="EN-GB"> as a kid.”</span><br />
<br />
“I'm shy, paranoid, whatever word you want to use. I hate fame. I've done everything I can to avoid it.”<br />
<br />
“I loved playing "Edward Scissorhands" <span lang="EN-GB">(1990) because there's nothing cynical, jaded or impure about him. It's almost a letdown to look in the mirror and realise I'm not Edward.”</span><br />
<br />
“There's a drive in me that won't allow me to do certain things that are easy. I can weigh all the options, but there's always one thing that goes: "Johnny, this is the one." <br />
<br />
And it's always the most difficult - it's always the one that will cause the most trouble.”<br />
<br />
<br />
<b></b><br />
<b><span style="color: purple;">Plans for the future</span></b><br />
“I'm an old-fashioned guy . . . I want to be an old man with a beer belly sitting on a porch, looking at a lake or something.”<br />
<br />
“I suppose nowadays it's all a question of surgery, isn't it? Of course the notion is beautiful, the idea of staying a boy and a child forever, and I think you can. I have known plenty of people who, in their later years, had the energy of children and the kind of curiosity and fascination with things like little children. I think we can keep that, and I think it's important to keep that part of staying young. But I also think it's great fun growing old.”<br />
<br />
“If you turn on the television and see the horrors that are happening to people in the world right now, I think there's no better time to strive to have some kind of hope through imagination. I think it's a time to close your eyes and try to make a change, or at least hope to make a change, or we're going to explode.”<br />
<br />
<b></b><br />
<b><span style="color: purple;">Breathing, the rhythm of life:</span> </b><br />
“My sister Christi had a baby when I was 17, and I had just heard about crib death. The horrible thing was that it wasn't understood. For some unknown reason the baby would stop breathing. So I would sneak into where the baby was sleeping and put my hand in her crib, hold her little finger, and I'd sleep on the floor like that. It was stupid, I'm sure. But I thought the warmth of my hand might help, that maybe if she felt my pulse it would remind her to breathe.”<br />
<br />
On an interview in “Inside actors” he was asked what turns him on, he replied: “Breathing”.<br />
<br />
He has also mentioned spending time living with Romanian Gypsies when he was researching for his movie “Chocolate”, and how they taught him the value of every breath, every minute, every moment in life. <br />
<br />
<b></b><br />
<b><span style="color: purple;">Music</span></b><br />
“There's nothing - you know - nothing else like music. Nothing that touches us on that, uh, that deep level. Music can open up so many emotions that we didn't know we had. It's the magical thing about musicals, you know, on the stage or on film or whatever. Love songs. They work so well because music touches us, emotionally, where words alone can't.”<br />
<br />
<b></b><br />
<b><span style="color: purple;">The separate sections of an individual</span></b><br />
Depp explained that the lines of paint on his Lone Ranger character Tonto. The Native American’s face looked to him like a cross-section of the man’s emotional life. “There’s this very wise quarter, a very tortured and hurt section, an angry and rageful section, and a very understanding and unique side. I saw these parts, almost like dissecting a brain, these slivers of the individual.” <br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Johnny Depp's Homeopathic remedy is Anhalonium Lewiini</span></strong><br />

Peyote cactus by Uri Tear, flickr.com<br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-GB">Anhalonium also known as Peyote is a cactus without spines, native of Mexico and widely in Shamanic initiate rituals both in Mexico and in North America. <br /><br />The ritual involves a group of tribe men guided by their Shaman, also known as “Roadman” who leads the “Peyote hunt”. </span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-GB">In order to go on this journey the participants are first requested to go through a strict program of purification both physical and spiritual. They act as a group and the welfare of each member is essential if the group is to succeed in their quest. <br /><br />Mescaline, the active hallucinogenic ingredient in peyote, promotes a sense of fellowship that even those left at home, normally the women, are requested to observe the same purification rituals and to abstain from certain foods in order to share the experience of those on the journey.<br /><br />Peyote was widely experimented with by the intellectual and artistic circles of the late 19<sup>th</sup> and early 20<sup>th</sup> century, and there are some very interesting narratives about their experiences. Antonin Artaud has given as a good account of his experience with Mescaline in: “the peyote dance”. <br /><br /><span style="color: purple;"><strong>Walt Disney wanting to put into film his experiences with Peyote - gave us “Fantasia.”</strong></span><br /><br />It has similar visual hallucinations to LSD although some experts claim that LSD is more cerebral and Anhalonium is more hearty and earthy. <br /><br />In the homeopathic potency this remedy is heart centred but it has also a strong action upon the nervous system. <br /><br />The intake of material substance either through eating the Peyote buttons or by drinking the decoction induces synaesthesia (sounds are perceived as colours), two dimensional pictures appear to be three dimensional objects and they also appear to be framed on a halo of blue light. On looking away the objects previously looked at appear to follow leaving a beautiful trail of colour of red and green colours behind them. <br />There is a sensation of floating in the air, and extreme sensitivity to music as if one could be carried by a musical note.<br /><br />There can be a great heart expansion, a feel of heart opening and of emotionally and spirituality merging with others.<br /><br /><strong><span style="color: purple;">Some mystics have compared this experience to religious ecstasy, and have called Peyote nature’s incarnation of Christ for establishing a connection between nature and the spitirual world.</span></strong><br /><br />After taking this drug it doesn’t seem to be a “come down” as with most other hallucinogenic just a great sense of lightness, of enlightenment and peace - as if he user has spread out through the universe.<br /><br />For the full effect of Peyote to be felt the user has to be in perfect health so unlike with most drugs which seem to work strongly on a weaker system binding themselves to the users nervous system and causing habituation, Peyote doesn’t cause addiction: the user doesn’t feel a need to repeat the experience.<br /><br />There are however cases where the drug has caused personality fragmentation and induced schizophrenia, particularly catatonic schizophrenia and hebephrenic schizophrenia. <br /><br />The homeopathic Anhalonium has therefore been used to treat psychosis where there is a sense of separation from reality, a strong awareness of living in parallel realities at once, a loss of spatial and/or time awareness, as well as in shut down psychological states such as catatonia have been the main theme.<br /><br />It is also a remedy used to treat migraines and headaches where there are visual disturbances consistent with colourful hallucinations experienced by the use of Peyote. <br /><br />Anhalonium is also one of the remedies used in the treatment of certain forms of myopia and of astigmatism. Also an important remedy for some cardiac and respiratory symptoms. <br /><b></b><br /><b><span style="color: purple;">Johnny Depp is Hollywood’s Roadman:</span> </b><br />Leading us through a journey of colourful characters in a kaleidoscopic succession of multiple realities, revealing a very deep and very rich collective subconscious, helping us to integrate our own experiences within this discovery process. A collective journey that I hope he will lead for a long time, as there are a lot more of his creative genius and deep buried subconscious that needs to surface in order to be healed.</span><br />

<br />
<span lang="EN">PJ Harvey is an English singer and artist from the West Country. <br />
<br />
Her characteristic style comes through in everything she does: in her lyrics, her music, her voice, in her sculptures, even in her hobby of jam and chutney making. <br />
<b></b><br />
<b><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">She has a truly unique style and she refuses to follow anyone else‘s. She doesn’t conform to any pre-established models: not even her own. </span><br />
</b> <br />
She is also very versatile, forever changing her own style both in fashion and in music. Although she writes a lot she prefers to start a fresh when collecting material for her albums rather than recycling previous prose as she feels her views often change.<br />
<br />
And she doesn’t like to be defined by what she produces either. She resents the media for trying to constraint her into a set, fixed model of herself, based on the lyrics she writes. <br />
<br />
She is deeply introspective person, who doesn’t reveal much of herself, and who can easily clam up on interviews if asked about her personal life, her believes and thoughts. <br />
<br />
But she concedes that she is homely, she is the happiest around her family, and that one day she would like to have children too, if she finds the right partner. <br />
<br />
She needs to make an impact in her environment, in order to make it her own. She sees her music and her sculpture as the means to re-shape her surroundings and to create a long lasting influence. <br />
<br />
Her desire to influence and to create a deeply personable space extends also to gardening, and to the use of aromatherapy in order to recreate an environment where she can be comfortable and at home whilst on an recording studio or on tour.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
PJ Harvey is extremely defensive when it comes to being associated with the lyrics she writes: she denies that they have anything to do with who she is, and yet she promotes them as a deep raw reality that she immerses herself and from which she resurfaces out of breath from the depths of her own subconscious bringing to the surface sinister and strange characters, deep emotions and confronting us with phantoms, and taboos that are part of the collective subconscious. <br />
<br />
That’s why she provokes such strong feelings in some people. As she unleashes the worst and ugliest side of collective imaginary through her lyrics, bringing out a witches’ brew of sinister and tragic figures, and forcing us to confront our own shadows whether we like it or not.<br />
<br />
PJ Harvey claims to sleep very little, about 4 hours a day, and to have very vivid dreams and she keeps a dreams journal. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b></b><br />
<b><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Some of her quotes:</span></b> <br />
<u></u><br />
<u><span style="color: purple;">Dreams and Imagination:</span></u> <br />
</span><span lang="EN-GB"></span><br />
“I have massive dreams, dream extravaganzas every night," announces Polly Jean Harvey. "It's very enjoyable. Sometimes they seem so real that I'm not really sure which is my real life. Is this my day life or my night life? I don't always know."<br />
<span lang="EN"> </span><span lang="EN-GB"></span><br />
"I always think it's so sad that when we get older we tend to stop playing with our imagination like we do when we're young," she says. "When you're a child, you can make anything happen. You can make people happen, just conjure them out of thin air if you want someone to play with. I love dreaming because that's my child side just running rampant every night. It might be my subconscious trying to tell me something about myself or about other people. I think of the most incredulous things in my dreams and that's a very healthy thing to do if you're in a creative mode like I am. It's all part of keeping your imagination going."<br />
<br />
<u><span style="color: purple;">Infancy and teenage years:</span></u><br />
<br />
"I was more interested in working as hard as possible than in dating," she avers. "Other reasons were to do with where I lived, there really weren't that many people around. I looked like a boy until I was fourteen. I was a real tomboy. I was extremely shy. I still am. I thought of myself as very ugly and didn't have a lot of confidence at that kind of level. I didn't think anybody would want to date me. Having said that, I was extremely confident in other areas like the work I was doing because of the sheer amount of work I was putting into it."<br />
<span lang="EN"> </span><u><span lang="EN-GB"></span></u><br />
<u><span style="color: purple;">Music, art and perfectionism:</span><br />
</u> <br />
"Music was a release," she recalls. "It was everything to me. It was both the physical and emotional side that I was lacking in other areas, and still is. <br />
<span lang="EN"> </span><span lang="EN-GB"></span><br />
"Music is so much more moving, physically moving. I find that artwork involves too much intellectualising. I'd rather if it just affected me in a way that I don't really have control over than rationalising a painting or a piece of work. That's why I chose to do sculpture. It's more of a physical thing. It affects the space around you. It's a little bit closer to what music does."<br />
<span lang="EN"> </span><span lang="EN-GB"></span><br />
"It's very confusing for me, this perfectionism of mine. Why is anybody like that? Why is anybody driven to choose a very hard way of expressing themselves? There are much easier ways. You're trying to make something that's perfect and that is impossible. You're trying to achieve the impossible the whole time which is not an easy way to go."<br />
<span lang="EN"> <u></u></span><br />
<u><span style="color: purple;">Sixth Sense:</span><br />
</u> <span lang="EN-GB"></span><br />
"I physically hate recording studios," she states "When I get to the studio, I immediately have to try and make it better in terms of lighting and making different smells and filling it with personal bits and materials. Different aromatherapy smells and oils, candles. Turning the lighting down. Recording studios are so anonymous and have had so much music made in them, different music, which I don't want in there when I'm in there. Rooms and old houses, they carry a certain sort of vibration with them. It's the same in studios. The music that has been made in them during the last ten or twenty years is still around in there. You want to clear the room if you want to get it ready to make your music.”<br />
<br />
<br />
<u></u><br />
<u><span style="color: purple;">Synesthesia:</span><br />
</u><br />
<br />
<br />
Synesthesia is the cross of over of two or more senses, it is a fairly rare ability and it is thought to occur when there are more nervous connections than usual in person‘s brain. The most common expression of this is synesthetes to see sounds as colours. In PJ’s case there seems to be an association between smell and colours, and smells as sounds which is more rare.<br />
<br />
"Very often when I'm writing a song, I'll start off with nothing but a picture in my head. Smells are also important to me. A smell will evoke a feeling which I want to create or a colour. It's very much based on visual things and on my senses, sensations. I carry a lot of stuff with me wherever I go. Photographs, pictures, personal objects that I like, and smells. I take my smells everywhere with me. They're really important to me."<br />
<span lang="EN"> </span><u><span lang="EN-GB"></span></u><br />
<u><span style="color: purple;">Running out of time:</span></u> <br />
<br />
"I want to be happy and I want to feel that I'm using my time here as well as I possibly can. That means working hard and playing hard and loving hard. Doing everything I can to the full. I'm very conscious of not wasting time. There just seems like so little time and so many things I'd love to do with my time here. I might get run over tomorrow. I'm a very impatient person."<br />
<span lang="EN"> <u></u></span><br />
<u><span style="color: purple;">Her appearance:</span> <br />
</u> <span lang="EN-GB"></span><br />
"it's that combination of being quite elegant and funny and revolting, all at the same time, that appeals to me. I actually find wearing make-up like that, sort of smeared around, as extremely beautiful. Maybe that's just my twisted sense of beauty."<br />
<br />
"that was kind of a mask. It was much more of a mask than I've ever had. I was very lost as a person, at that point. I had no sense of self left at all" about her image for the “<i>To Bring You My Love”</i> tour.<br />
<b></b><br />
<b><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">PJ Harvey Homeopathic remedy is Hyoscyamus Niger:</span><br />
</b> <br />
It is popularly known as Henbane, part of the Nightshade family, with narcotic and hallucinogenic properties, the active ingredients being atropine, hyoscyamine and scopolamine. <br />
<b></b><br />
<b><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">It combines muscle relaxant and anti-spasmodic properties, but it can produce both great excitement as well as profound relaxation and apathy.</span><br />
</b> <br />
It has been used as a “Truth Serum”, for “brainwashing”, sleeping draughts, and until more recently in sleeping pills, anti-allergy tablets, and in patches for motion sickness. It has also known to induce priaprism, and it has been used to treat passive forms of psychosis.<br />
<br />
It has a long folkloric tradition, we known it was used in Neolithic rituals; the Vikings buried the seeds with their dead; it was associated with the rituals of passage between life and death in classic Greece, and old German tribes used to spike their beer giving it extra power. <br />
<b></b><br />
<b><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">During the Medieval period the plant was associated with witches rituals such as “intercourse with the devil“ when they used as an ointment to rub on their genitals.</span> <br />
</b> <br />
It was also used in childbirth to inducing “twilight sleep” relieving the pain and inducing amnesia of the birthing experience, although the church strongly opposed to this claiming that women were supposed to suffer pain in order to give birth.<br />
<br />
The homeopathic version of this drug, is used to treat insomnia, wild and vivid dreams and hallucinations, alternate states of rage and apathy, nervous tics, certain types of epilepsy, eye disturbances with by pupil dilation, sexual problems, and passive forms of psychosis.<br />
<br />
Psychologically individuals who do well on Hyoscyamus have a jealous personality, have either extreme aversion to sex and to their own body if repressed, or in advance states of psychosis who have an excessive preoccupation with sex and a tendency to exposing their genitals, and even masturbate in public. They are suspicious people, who mistrust strangers, but require the constant company of their close circle of friends and family. <br />
<b></b><br />
<b><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">We can see that PJ Harvey lives in the psychological sphere of this remedy if just through her dreams and her creative process.</span> <br />
</b> <br />
She has a clear awareness of the collective unconscious, and she can easily access parallel realities that she enters during sleep: light becomes darkness and fantastic creatures part ghosts part devils exist in a world of dreams.<br />
<br />
Her comment about not knowing what is more real: her dreams or her awake phase is typical of Henbane’s induced “Twilight Sleep”. And so it is the feeling of wearing a mask, and that’s how Polly describes her transformational process when she worked on her “Love Is” tour. <br />
<b></b><br />
<b><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">The Hyoscyamus patient has a very pale face and dilated pupils and so has Harvey.</span><br />
</b> <br />
Some individuals can be extremely controlled censoring themselves and not allowing their subconscious to invade their daily lives. Being extremely sensitive to extra-sensorial energies around them that they can travel in between alternate and parallel realities, lose touch with their physical reality and blurring the line between madness and sanity. <br />
<br />
Polly has found the right balance by allowing the controlled release of subconscious through her art rather than repressing these aspects of her psyche.<br />

<div align="left"><br />
</div><span lang="EN-GB"></span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB"><div align="left">Madonna is the queen of pop music. She is a master at re-inventing herself, lending herself to so many different female personalities that it is sometimes hard to understand who she really is. </div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">We’ve seen the virgin and the whore in her. Her style has always been revealing and sexually provocative whether wearing a white wedding dress and writhing on the floor in ecstasy or dressed in bondage gear, or having a three some. </div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"><strong><span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-size: large;">One thing never changes - her desire to shock us by breaking the conventional imagine of the sexually submissive female persona.</span> </span></strong></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">Madonna’s voice has developed and matured over the years, initially it was a child like voice, she was once dubbed Minnie Mouse on Helium. <br />
<br />
Her sexuality didn’t go through a progressive development, it just exploded in our faces explicit and unrepressed - we’ve seen her simulating sex with an angel, kissing other women, romping with several men at once, involved in sad-masochism scenes, and masturbating. </div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">Madonna thrives on controversy, she has built her success on eroding sexual taboos: mixing them with religious imagery such as crucifixes, the stigmata, the Virgin, and so on. She has incurred the wrath of Vatican and of religious groups on several occasions.</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">Her latest album MDNA is already causing controversy both from its title: a clear reference to the drug also known as Ecstasy, and the sexually provocative video-clips - “girl gone wild” has been rated 18 certificate and banned from You Tube. </div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong><span style="color: purple;">What inspired Madonna into a career merging music and sex in a way at times close to pornography?</span></strong> </span></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">Madonna lost her mother to cancer at the age of five. She has often spoken of the pain of not only losing her mum at such a young age but also of having to be a mother to her own siblings. Her father re-married but she never accepted her step-mother.</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">At school she was considered a wild child. Although possessed of a bright intellect and having good marks, she broke all boundaries and conventions - She used to do cartwheels and handstands during the breaks, hanged from monkey bars by her knees, and raised her skirt in class so that the boys could see her underwear - Forty years on and not much has changed - if you have watched Madonna’s Super Bowl 2012 half-time show you’ll know what I mean…</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">But she is extremely dedicated to her art: a perfectionist with the tenacity of a control freak, she makes sure that everything she does has her own imprint, and she doesn’t rest until the final product is perfect.</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">Throughout her life, pressure has made her stronger. Criticism has given her the driving edge to surpass even herself and to press on to greater success. </div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">Despite the sexually promiscuous attitude she’s regal in all she does, arrogant and haughty in the way she relates the general public and the media, particularly to those who dare to cross her. </div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">Her appearance, her poise, the way she has used her multiple talents as a singer, a film director, a writer, and an entrepreneur have all been designed meticulously with flawless perfection. </div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">Although her critics have now started to use ageist comments in an attempt to put her down, they’ve only succeeded in highlighting her youthful looks and well toned body by any age standards. </div><div align="left"><b></b></div><b><div align="left"><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Some of her most revealing quotes:</span></div><div align="left"></div></b><div align="left"></div><div align="left">About losing her mother to cancer as a child: </div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">“I remember feeling stronger than she was,” </div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">“I was so little and yet I felt like she was the child.”</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">“There was so much left unsaid, so many untangled and unresolved emotions, of remorse, guilt, loss, anger, confusion. ... I saw my mother, looking very beautiful and lying as if she were asleep in an open casket. Then I noticed that my mother's mouth looked funny. It took me some time to realize that it had been sewn up. In that awful moment, I began to understand what I had lost forever. The final image of my mother, at once peaceful yet grotesque, haunts me today also.”</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"><strong><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Teenage rebellion:</span></strong></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">"lonely girl who was searching for something. I wasn't rebellious in a certain way. I cared about being good at something. I didn't shave my underarms and I didn't wear make-up like normal girls do. But I studied and I got good grades.... I wanted to be somebody."</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">"I think the biggest reason I was able to express myself and not be intimidated was by not having a mother, for example, mothers teach you manners. And I absolutely did not learn any of those rules and regulations."</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">About being forced by two men to perform oral sex at knife point: </div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">"the episode was a taste of my weakness, it showed me that I still could not save myself in spite of all the strong-girl show. I could never forget it." </div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"><strong><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Breaking taboos: </span></strong></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">"I sometimes think I was born to live up to my name. How could I be anything else but what I am having been named Madonna? I would either have ended up a nun or this." Madonna means “my lady” in Italian, and it has religious connections with the Virgin Mary often referred to as madonna. </div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">"I was surprised by how people reacted to "Like a Virgin" because when I did that song, to me, I was singing about how something made me feel a certain way—brand-new and fresh—and everyone interpreted it as 'I don't want to be a virgin anymore. F**k my brains out!' That's not what I sang at all. 'Like a Virgin' was always absolutely ambiguous."</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">"I know that I'm not the best singer and I know that I'm not the best dancer. But, I can f*****g push people's buttons and be as provocative as I want. The tour's goal is to break useless taboos."</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">"I love to work with the weirdos that no one knows about—the people who have raw talent and who are making music unlike anyone else out there. <i>Music</i> is the future of sound."</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">"I realised that I could go from being unmoulded clay, and over time and with the help of people, I could turn myself into something else. This tour is the reflection of that belief and it's as if saying to me 'Who are you girl?' Hence the name, its the new me."</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">"Why is it that people are willing to go and watch a movie about someone getting blown to bits for no reason at all, and nobody wants to see two girls kissing and two men snuggling?” </div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"><strong><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">On playing “Evita“:</span></strong></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">"This is the role I was born to play. I put everything of me into this because it was much more than a role in a movie. It was exhilarating and intimidating at the same time. And it was the farthest I've ever had to push myself creatively. At every level, I had a great education. And I am prouder of Evita than anything else I have done."</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">"The intensity of the scenes we have been shooting and the amount of emotional work and concentration needed to get through the day are so mentally and physically exhausting that I'm sure I will need to be institutionalized when its over." </div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"><strong><span style="color: purple;">Pain:</span> </strong></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">“I had to be beaten up so many times by these little black girls before they would accept me and finally one day they whipped me with a rubber hose till I was like, lying on the ground crying. And then they just stopped doing it all of a sudden and let me be their friend, part of their group."</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">"I sing about shattering an image that you have of somebody, but I also sing about loving someone that wish you didn’t love. Because you know that you’re doomed, but you can’t stop yourself."</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">"We were all wounded in one way or another by [her mother’s death], and then we spent the rest of our lives reacting to it or dealing with it or trying to turn into something else. The anguish of losing my mom left me with a certain kind of loneliness and an incredible longing for something. If I hadn't had that emptiness, I wouldn't have been so driven. Her death had a lot to do with me saying—after I got over my heartache—I'm going to be really strong if I can't have my mother. I'm going to take care of myself."</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">She’s known to work through physical pain. Recently while suffering from a hamstring injury she went through a tight schedule of rehearsals for the Super Bowl half-time show, pressing on with a choreography of deep squats and cartwheels whilst singing a medley of some of her songs. </div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"><strong><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">About being in charge:</span></strong></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">"I may be dressing the typical bimbo, whatever, but I’m in charge. You know. I’m in charge of my fantasies. I put myself in these situations with men, you know, and people don’t think of me as a person who’s not in charge of my career or my life, okay. And isn’t that what feminism is all about, you know, equality for men and women? And aren’t I in charge of my life, doing the things I want to do? Making my own decisions?"</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">"I really saw myself as the quintessential Cinderella," Madonna comments on what was like living with her step-mother and her dad "I think that's when I really thought about how I wanted to do something else and get away from all that."</div><div align="left"><b></b></div><b><div align="left"><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Madonna homeopathic remedy is Platina:</span></div><div align="left"></div></b><div align="left"></div><div align="left">Platina is a precious metal, more valuable and rarer than gold. It was first discover in 1735 in South America by the Spanish. Initially deemed as worthless and used to make counterfeit coins, it soon became indispensable to modern technology as well as in the production of jewellery items. </div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">It has a capacity to absorb and then realise both Oxygen and Hydrogen with explosive reactions. It can only be dissolved by Aqua-regia: a combination of Hydrochloric and Nitric Acids. It is used in exhaust pipe filters for ecologically friendly engines, in two radio-therapy compounds to combat cancer, and to produce two way mirrors: where it is possible for someone to observe others through a glass window that appears like a mirror. </div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"><strong><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">What are the homeopathic characteristics of this remedy? </span></strong></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">People who have a Platina emotional / psychological profile have an over-inflated ego. They are narcissists either with a high perception of themselves, believing they are more important than any one else, or through their sexual overdrive. </div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">They have ailments from feeling neglected by others, and from sexual disappointment. They masturbate often several times a day, and they are in general sexually promiscuous in a way to pursue self-gratification and to try to release a sexual tension that they can never fully release: although they are able to multi-orgasm they don’t achieve the complete orgasm they crave for. </div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"><strong><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Their appearance is very important to them, they take great care on choosing their clothes, they tend to wear revealing and sexually appealing outfits.</span></strong></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">Getting old is a very difficult experience for them, and Platina subjects tend to appear younger than they really are. </div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">Their demeanour is haughty and arrogant - they are the type of people who consider themselves in a position of power - others should treat them as kings and queens, emperors and empresses. In order to maintain this status quo they become perfectionists, high achievers who feel at their best whilst under pressure. Their world revolves around them and no one else. </div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>They can have the delusion that they are taller than anyone else, and that they are observing others from above - therefore they tend to look others down. </strong></span></div><div align="left"><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong> </strong></span></div><div align="left">Female subjects can have the delusion that there is something crawling in their genitals. </div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">It is possible that Madonna was pushed into the Platina psychological state due to having lost her mother at such an early age, but it is also possible that those were already characteristics of her personality. </div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">She has an haughty queen like attitude, she is obsessed with perfection, she works better under pressure, and her imagine cannot be dissociated from the raunchy videos and her sexually explicit videos. She has used her sexual excesses to make herself a sex-symbol fully in control of her own life and her career whilst remaining aloof to the public. </div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>While this kaleidoscopic display goes on, we learn that Madonna is also profoundly religious and even spiritual. </strong></span></div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left">Initially a Roman Catholic she has used Christian iconography throughout her career. She has since the birth of her daughter Lourdes (a religious name) been dedicated to the Kabala in her attempts to understand the greater mysteries of life and creation, and she’s adopted the name Esther which means star. </div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">Her manic sexual behaviour is only one side of the mirror - the side that Madge allows us to see in order to further her career; on the other side of the two way mirror there’s a teasing Madonna enjoying her own show and our reaction to her manipulative game of hide and seek. </div><div align="left"><b><i></i></b></div><b><i></i></b><h3 align="left"><em><span style="color: purple;">By the Undercover Homeopath</span></em></h3><b><i><div align="left"></div></i><div align="left"></div></b><div align="left"><i></i> </div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Whitney
Houston has been the soul of pop music for over two decades. She died
tragically on February 11<sup>th</sup></span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> 2012, drowned in the bath in her hotel
suite, her system was filled with several recreational drugs such as cocaine and
marijuana as well as pharmaceutical drugs.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>The coroner’s
inquests deliberated that she died by accidental drowning, due to cocaine intake
and heart disease.</strong></span> <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Whitney had
a long history of drug and alcohol addiction and as with many stars fame and
addictions seem to go hand in hand.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Without going
through her life history and her emotional ups and downs, we can still draw a
broad sketch of her personality in order to try to understand the degenerative
process that eventually led her demise.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">It is somewhat
ironic that as a seven years old child she used to hold “secret concerts” in
the family’s empty swimming pool and she ended up drowning.</span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><o:p><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></o:p></span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-size: large;">Whitney Houston homeopathic remedy is Coca:<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">It was a
sacred plant for the Incas but nicknamed by the Spanish priests who evangelized
them as a “Devil’s illusion”, it is therefore interesting to note how Houston
when asked on an interview by Diane Sawyers to pick "the devil" from a list of alcohol, marijuana,
cocaine, and prescription drugs, replied: “the devil is me”! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Coca, the
plant from which Cocaine is extracted was widely used in South America to
enable workers to climb up the Andes without feeling the characteristic
weakness, dizziness that altitude sickness can bring.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While masking Coca leaves their performance
improved, and they were able to go on for days with very little water, no
food, and impervious to physical pain.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Just as
Coca has a tradition of being used by climbers in the physical sense, it is also
known for being used by high achievers in our society: the so called high
flyers – people who go through an enormous amount of psychological pressure in
their professional lives and who are expected to endure long hours of work with
very little rest or sleep. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">In
homeopathy Coca remedy is used to treat ailments such as weak vocal cords: a
tired voice from overuse – which was a recurrent problem in Houston’s career probably
due to her cocaine abuse.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>Dizziness, fainting,
desire for isolation, insomnia, heart failure, blood clots, and a characteristic
skin itch where the suffer has a feeling that there is something crawling under
their skin are also well known ailments for this homeopathic remedy. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">It can also include loss of libido and kidney
weakness, a prickly sensation in the mouth, and a desire for alcohol. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">We know
that Whitney Houston suffered from stage fright to some extent – she talks
briefly about it on her interview with Diane Sawyers – there is a link to the
video at the end of this post.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">The coroner’s
inquest also mentions heart illness possibly due to the use of Cocaine:
although this might have been the physical trigger, her death was probably due
to a destructive lifestyle that led Whitney to abuse herself in many different
ways.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Incidentally
Cannabis Indica is the homeopathic remedy used to treat the phobia of drowning:
Houston was a frequent Marijuana smoker but she surely didn’t have this phobia
or she might have been more cautions of drowning. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span><br />

<br />“For me, starting out in songwriting, I did it because I lived in a society where I couldn’t actually discuss these issues. Now that I’m older, and I’ve worked through a lot of that, I have different reasons for writing songs... .I don’t have this enormous pain, which I would have felt before – and which was very healthy then. Now, I’m driven more by the need to make music or the enjoyment of singing the songs live.”</span></div>

Rainforests have been felled in the name of O’Connor’s (admittedly eventful) love life. Does this song reflect a primal need within her to belong in a relationship? “It’s actually a song about being in love with your boyfriend’s best friend. And that did happen a number of years ago, that a guy said those words to me, ‘That’s my girl’ – and even though you’re middle-aged, you still act like a 16-year-old and get carried away.<br />
<br />“Up until recently, I probably would have been the kind of woman who feels like I have to have a fella in order to be alright or to feel secure. But I actually don’t feel that anymore now. I think it’s just me growing older. Now, I’ve got used to doing my own thing ...I feel better now, in terms of feeling a sense of belonging in the world. Sometimes being with people in the past, I felt more lonely than being on my own.”<br />
<br />“Not minding whether I'm in a relationship or not does not mean that I don't want to shag the arse off every man I could possibly get my hands on, she says. In fact, while I may be happy enough without a partner, I would wilt away and be depressed if I wasn't having sex. With nice people.”</span></div>

<span style="color: purple;"><b>About her song “I Had A Baby“ and on being a single mother: </b></span> <br />
<br />“It’s a subject not really written about,” she declares, referring to the challenges of rearing a child whose father is absent. “The only other song that’s tackled it, at least that I could think of, was Papa Was a Rolling Stone. I read so many books, but no one talked about what to do when the father isn’t around. My main objective was to tackle it without being accused, and if it blames anyone, it’s me. It says quite clearly in the song that a child shouldn’t suffer over things that I’ve done. It’s more about what do I tell the kid ... What would the father want me to tell him?<br />
<br />“It’s not just fathers who bugger off. Mothers do it too, and they don’t ever have to look back and watch the damage that it can cause. I mean, it can really ruin a kid’s life. It became a terrible stress for myself and my kid for a while, and it was a real source of sadness in my life.<br />
<br />“It’s all sorted now, and I certainly had no desire to cause any hurt in the song to the child or to his father. Anyway, anger is a temporary emotion. There will come a time, years from now, when we [the child’s father and O’Connor] won’t be angry with each other, so I didn’t want to put something down that would be permanent, and which just wouldn’t be true at some time in the future.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: purple;"><b>Child abuse in Ireland:</b></span> <br />
<br /> “I spent some time after the Murphy report came out trying to encourage various Irish and other artists to get involved,” she says, “and they were completely indifferent. They did not want to know, and I was very wounded and very angry about that. At the same time, I’m aware that I have no right to tell people how they should or shouldn’t act. And that raised the question in my mind: what is a real VIP?<br />
<br />“In music, we all think we’re great, yet the real VIPs are these children. The song talks about ‘a face that never was, nor will be kissed’. Well, that’s about these children who never felt a mother’s kiss on their face. I think it’s easy for a lot of us to lose the sense of what’s important.” <br />
<br />“One hundred years from now, Irish kids are going to be learning about this, which is to me the most important event in Irish history. And they’ll be asking: ‘Well, what were the artists doing?’ This is what I would call real Catholic emancipation: the loosening of our psyches from the Catholic church."<br />
<br />“Enda Kenny’s speech is the most important speech ever made by an Irish politician. He nailed it with his ‘gimlet eye of the canon lawyer’. So I feel there are a cowardice and a hypocrisy about the silence that’s come from Irish artists – and artists in general. And there are times when deafening silence from artists is really criminal. Don’t they say ‘All that it takes for evil to flourish is for good men to do nothing’?”</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Drosera is a carnivore plant part of the Sundew family closely related to the Venus Flytrap.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The plant grows in the wetland in peat or sandy soil with very poor mineralisation. Its leaves are permanently moist, their filaments resemble hairs and are covered by </span><span lang="EN" style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Mucilage</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">: a natural glue designed to trap and decompose the insects the plant preys on.</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">An average size Drosera consumes about 2000 insects per season, they supply the nutrients the plant needs to thrive and which cannot be absorbed from the soil.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In fact too much lime in the soil and the plant can easily die, the poor the soil the better.</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Plant remedies that grow on soggy conditions tend to treat patients who are emotionally needy, who need to be in an emotional/sexual relationship in order to feel complete.

The other thing is, I wasn't sure I could play the part totally sober, which I was. I was trying to look at it more impressionistically from a landscape of maybe 25 years ago to see what would come out of that filter of my imagination. I was doing a scene (on "Bad Lieutenant"), it was in my second day of shooting -- and we all know the imagination and preparation (required) to think I was on cocaine (for the character). There was a little bottle of baby powder, and I'm snorting that.”</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

I was driving on the Hollywood Freeway and I accidentally bumped it into park. I was doing 80 mph at 10 p.m. and I started doing 360s. I wound up facing traffic, and then a Mack truck was coming at me. I thought, 'This is it, I'm dead'. The truck driver had a CB radio and said, "Put the car in reverse."

We had to go over the coiled one, so we felt trapped and paralysed with fear. There was nowhere to run, we were surrounded. I saw this pole with a nail through it, and I knew that I had to do something, so I grabbed the pole and pounded the snake. Then it came up and started rattling and was about to strike. I killed it, but felt bad about it. I felt anything you kill you've got to eat, so I took it home, cut the poison glands out, took the rattles off and cooked it.”<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="background-color: white;">Mandragora is part of the Solonaecea family which also includes Belladonna, Stramonium and Hyociamus. All of them contain a combination of atropines which act upon the nervous system causing neuralgic disturbances to some extent, with a wide range numbness and tingling sensations, visual disturbances, and headaches. The headaches are all of hepatic origin resulting from liver problems.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white;"> </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="background-color: white;">Psychologically mandragora is the more controlled of the four, less inclined to rage or to outrageous behaviour, we could say that there is method in its madness, but there is also a delusion that they are possessed by a dark entity. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white;"> </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="background-color: white;">Mandragora is only a small remedy in the Homeopathic material medica: it’s not used often, and it’s symptoms are mostly physical. They relate to blurred vision, blurred speech, worse from alcohol intake, and as if alcohol induced, dizziness, a sensation that the head is surrounded by fog, strong heat sensation on the head, colic and diarrhoea.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white;"> </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="background-color: white;">Mandragora or mandrake has a long tradition of use since ancient times, and a strong association with alchemy: there are tales of a connection to the underworld.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span><span style="background-color: white;">It’s said to be the herb that the Greek goddess of sex-magic Circe used in the Odyssey to turn Odysseus’ men into pigs. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span><span style="background-color: white;"><span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">She invited his crew to a feast of cheese and meal, sweetened with honey and laced with wine, but also laced with one of her magical potions, and she turned them all into pigs with a wand after they gorged themselves on it.</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="background-color: white;">Mandragora was also according to traditional lore attributed to Hecate, the Greek goddess of the crossroads and of the un-dead, of birth and death, the passage between light and darkness, and the doorway to the underworld. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white;"> </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> <span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Described by Theokritos as: “chasing whining dogs, while walking across the graves of the dead, and through dark streams of blood”, Hecate was often depicted in a triptych form: as three maidens facing different ways in a reference to parallel realities, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>surrounded by dogs and snakes which are well known symbols of the underworld. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="background-color: white;">During the medieval ages Mandrake was a prised talisman against all sorts of ailments, supposed to bring wealth to those who possessed it. It was also used as an aphrodisiac.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white;"> <span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> <span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Its connection to witchcraft and magic was strengthened by the believe that the herb grew from the last ejaculation of a hang man, and that mandrake represented an unnatural sexual connection between man and land, a conception without the female intervention, without sex or a womb. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">T<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">he root of the plant often resembles a human body without the head, giving rise to speculation that those who were exposed to the plant would lose their mind. There was also the perception that the plant represented animalistic impulse without human morality, and a physical body without a soul.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="background-color: white;">All these tales and traditions have become embed in the human psyche, and through them we find a connection to Faust: selling his soul in exchange for success in the material world; the Ghost Rider a dark entity from hell with his skull on fire: a body without a soul.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white;"> </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="background-color: #c27ba0;"><span style="background-color: white;">Nicholas Cage’s obsession with dark characters and the underworld, his quirky eating habits: a reluctance to eat animals such as pigs because of their undignified sexual habits has a resonance to the myth of Circe in the Odyssey.</span> </span></span></div>

<br />
<span lang="EN">Springsteen’s songs have brought to the foreground an image of America that we couldn’t possibly have without his lyrics and his music.<br />
<br />
He has introduced us to the working class American, the one who anonymously helps to build the American superpower, picture perfect, and glittery proud ideal the US has tried to portray to the world! <br />
<br />
The US has bombarded the world with carefully crafted images of glamour and easy living through the US propaganda, Hollywood films, advertising, literature, political speeches and so on. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>Springsteen, the “Boss”, is the one who showed us the dirty faces stricken with sweat and tears of the underpaid miners.</strong></span> <br />
<br />
He gives us the other face of the victorious home coming of the war veterans with amputated limbs, unable to get work or to make a decent living, and forced to beg on the streets.<br />
<br />
He has ripped the picture perfect reality of the middle class America to show us the dirty and smelly kids from drug addicted parents, who fear going back home at the end of day and would rather roam the streets or leave their hometown where there is no future for them.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>He has also spoken often of the true spirit of freedom, of being able to break free from the oppressive environment of a small town and setting across the country.</strong></span> <br />
<br />
Springsteen has rebelled against oppression, has given inspiration and hope to those who have nothing. He has been the shouting voice muffling the glitzy propaganda for the American fantasy world of the fifties, he has lead the chorus of protest of the sixties speaking out for the kids who were left without a father as a result of the War, and he has showed us an America that has no rights, no welfare and no place in society. <br />
<br />
His music has no place in the picture perfect Hollywood of a young beautiful and wealthy America with glamorous actresses covered in jewels and fur and smartly dressed actors driving expensive cars.<br />
<br />
Springsteen has faithfully and relentlessly sided with the other America: the one living the shattered dream.<br />
<br />
He has showed us the despair of many, but he has also given the underdog faith in the future, he's fueled their fight, given them the "spark to start a fire", not to give up and to fight for their rights.<br />
<br />
His music is for taking to the streets, to the never ending American roads, to go see the world, the world that it’s ours, everyone’s. <br />
<br />
He talks about an unrepressed desire for living behind the oppressive small town: a fascination to follow the road in to freedom, into the big city, into hope of a better life. <br />
<br />
His message however is one of doom and gloom, the better life never materialises, because there is always social injustice, and oppression of the poor for the benefit of the rich no matter where you turn to.<br />
<br />
Springsteen is a religious man, he has never hidden his strong links to Catholicism, and some of his songs are religious hymns; others are hymns to freedom they are for uprising, and for rebelling - without religious or political conformism.<br />
<br />
He is of Irish ancestry and as a child he was educated at a Catholic school, but even then his individuality, and his refusal to conform to the pre-established values caused havock with the nuns, and he soon had to be moved to another school!<br />
<br />
As a teenager he didn't integrate within his school environment - his former headmaster recalls Bruce as a "loner who only cared for playing the guitar"... he completed his studies but didn't attend his own graduation as he didn't feel comfortable amongst his school mates.<br />
<br />
Springsteen is an anti-hero denouncing social injustice, locked in eternal battle with the powers that be, he has been a constant voice for those who have lost their status and have no voice. <br />
<br />
But he is an empty handed Messiah: bringing no salvation, he offers no solution, only the steely, cold, nude reality of a broken America. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>Bruce Springsteen’s homeopathic remedy is Veratrum Album:</strong></span><br />
<br />
Veratrum Album is a remedy for deeply religious people, even fanatical. They can easily view themselves as a Christ, or a Messiah bringing salvation to the world.<br />
<br />
They do not stand for social injustice. They can be very bossy, and unmoved in their opinions. <br />
<br />
They can get irate easily, even cursing and insulting others. They can have an ironic smile, and they smile when angry.<br />
<br />
When upset they isolate themselves, either by driving others out of their space, or by leaving home and abandoning their loved ones.<br />
<br />
They have a pessimistic view of the world, they are well known for their doom and gloom prophecies. They criticise existing values without offering a solution.<br />
<br />
They feel they are superior to others and they are outspoken against those they perceive as wrong doers.<br />
<br />
The Boss’ psychological profile is that of Veratrum Album, he has many characteristics of the remedy which on a healthy individual like himself can make him charismatic, but can also reach extreme behaviour if provoked into unbalance!</span><br />

</tbody></table>
David Bowie, English multitalented artist was born in Brixton, London in 1947. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
At home it was difficult to communicate with his parents, young David had a particular hard time discussing emotions with his dad, and he was a precocious child sensitive and talented child.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Yes David was anything but original, intriguing and perhaps disturbing and one can’t help but smile while reading his earlier school reports: <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Between 4-6yrs old - “a gifted and single-minded child—and a defiant brawler”. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
At 9yrs old – “an adequate voice for the choir, above-average musical ability for recorder playing, and strikingly imaginative dance routines which impressed his teachers as vividly artistic and astonishing for a child.” <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Also aged 9yrs old he heard Little Richard for the first time, he says about the song Tutti Frutti: “I heard God!” <br />
<br />
Bowie decided he wanted to be one of Little Richard's saxophone players. At 13 years old he got his first saxophone and began working as a butcher's delivery boy in order to pay it off. He also took ten lessons from jazz player Ronnie Ross who lived nearby, by then he quit going to see Ross because he felt that “he was ready to become a rock star.”<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Bowie’s eyes are both blue, the trademark of different colour eyes: is the result of a dilated pupil. He also suffers from faulty depth perception resulting from the same injury, caused by a punch in the left eye by a school mate wearing a ring during a fight over a girl. David nearly lost his sight and had several operations over a period of four months but he and George Underwood remained friends, and worked together in several albums at the beginning of his career. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Described himself as the “Chameleon of Pop”, he named himself after Jim Bowie, a Victorian North American frontiersman, a controversial figure who is credit amongst other things with the invention of a large hunting knife – the Bowie knife.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
David’s career took off in earnest with Ziggy Stardust an androgynous alien from Mars, a character he impersonated when playing with his band. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Bowie is a remarkable man, a multifaceted artist, who has excelled himself in several fields: music, art, and literature. His style is also eclectic and has covered many variations throughout his life. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
In music he his style has ranged from, Pop, Glam Rock, Jazz, Disco, and House…he’s collaborated with rapper Snoop Dogg recently, and I believe we are still to see more of his irrepressible talent and adaptability to new musical styles in the years to come! <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
He has been almost as prolific in the creation of characters both on the musical scene, and on real life, when realities got mixed up, and David found himself living in a parallel reality of bizarre personality changes.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Although most of Bowie’s personality disturbances were fuelled by a cocaine habit that at some point threatened to take over his life and saw him overdosing several times and causing his mental and physical disintegration, some of his personality changes were also induced by a stage act gone too far: Bowie, a method acting student, took his dramatic creations to such an extent that they took over his real persona at times. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
His various alter-egos caused some trouble at times: Ziggy stardust was bisexual, Thin White Duke was a sympathiser of totalitarian regimes…Bowie admitted being a robot off stage and only lighting up once he was able to incarnate his showbiz personas, but they certainly caused him some trouble as much as they have catapulted him into the limelight. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Throughout his career there have been many references to Space, and cosmic travelling - “Space oddity” with his Major Tom trying to contact ground control, Ziggy Stardust and the Spider from Mars, “The man who fell to Earth” with his character Thomas Jerome Newton, the extra-terrestrial, and so on…<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
We get a sense that at some level David is really a traveller of the cosmos, landed here on earth temporarily but still channelling cosmic awareness, leaving in a space between heaven and earth: a “Lodger” as he calls himself in an album made just after his extensive tour of Europe, Asia and Africa.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
David is impulsive, emotions hit him fast, inspiration is not on short demand and it happens fast too. And we cannot help but stared with fascination at his kaleidoscope of unstoppable creative impulse.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
"He lived on his emotions, he was a wonderful influence. His day-to-day life was the most theatrical thing I had ever seen, ever. It was everything I thought Bohemia probably was. I joined the circus."<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Lindsay Kemp returned the compliment: "I didn't really teach him to be a mime artiste but to be more of himself on the outside, ...I enabled him to free the angel and demon that he is on the inside." <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple;">Elvis Presley’s music:</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
"I saw a cousin of mine dance to ... 'Hound Dog' and I had never seen her get up and be moved so much by anything. It really impressed me, the power of the music. I started getting records immediately after that."<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple;">About his dad:</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
"I could never, ever talk to my father. I really loved him, but we couldn't talk about anything together. There was this really British thing that being even remotely emotional was absolutely verboten." "a classic case of British reserve." <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple;">About Little Richards:</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
“I had heard God”<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple;">About his characters: </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
"I know now for a fact that so much of my ambition and drive came from wanting to escape from myself and from feelings of inadequacy and vulnerability and not feeling I was loved by anybody in particularly. I would drive those feelings out by throwing myself not only into work, but eventually into characters."<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple;">About his sexuality: </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Bowie seemed to be as undecided about the effect his revelations had caused to his career as much as he was about his sexual ambiguity itself: <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
In 1972 while launching” Ziggy Stardust” he declared himself bisexual.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
By 1976 he said: "It's true—I am a bisexual. But I can't deny that I've used that fact very well. I suppose it's the best thing that ever happened to me.”<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
In 1983 he said: "The biggest mistake I ever made … was telling that … writer that I was bisexual. Christ, I was so young then. I was experimenting."<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
And on other occasions he said that his interest in homosexual and bisexual culture had been more a product of the times and the situation in which he found himself than his own feelings, and driven more by "a compulsion to flout moral codes than a real biological and psychological state of being".<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
In 2002 he said: “I don’t think it was a mistake in Europe, but it was a lot tougher in America. I had no problem with people knowing I was bisexual. But I had no inclination to neither hold any banners nor be a representative of any group of people. I knew what I wanted to be, which were a songwriter and a performer, and I felt that bisexuality became my headline over here for so long. America is a very puritanical place, and I think it stood in the way of so much I wanted to do.”<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple;">About meeting his second wife, Iman:</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
"I was naming the children the night we met ... it was absolutely immediate." <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
While launching his live album, and tormented by drug addiction: <br />
<br />
David Live, ought to have been titled "David Bowie Is Alive and Well and Living Only in Theory"<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple;">On his stage characters:</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Ziggy: "Offstage I'm a robot. Onstage I achieve emotion. It's probably why I prefer dressing up as Ziggy to being David."<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Ziggy: "wouldn't leave me alone for years. That was when it all started to go sour ... My whole personality was affected. It became very dangerous. I really did have doubts about my sanity."<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Thin White Duke: "I was out of my mind, totally crazed. The main thing I was functioning on was mythology ... that whole thing about Hitler and Rightism ... I'd discovered King Arthur ..."<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>David Bowie’s homeopathic remedy is Positronium:</strong></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
“It has been postulated that in the big bang at the beginning of time, matter and anti-matter co-emerged, each having opposite charge, opposite spin and moving in contrary motion, the one from time past to future, the other from time future to time past. It is therefore also postulated that somewhere there may be a parallel universe identical to our own but composed of a preponderance of anti-matter in which events occur in anti-time. Were we to meet with this anti-universe, then we would annihilate each other in one mighty flash!”<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Positronium is the smallest particle known, it is not even a full atom, and it’s called antimatter. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
It has an Electron and its anti-particle: the Positron, both have the same mass and spin, but opposite electrical charges. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
While on collision they annihilate each other. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
If Positronium were to be positioned on the periodic table it would be 0 row, 0 column, before the 1st row Hydrogen which at a psychological level corresponds to the baby period. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple;"><strong>The Antroposophical interpretation of Positronium: </strong></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Positronium is the non being, but as the non-being carries the cosmic blueprint for everything. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
It’s a seed for matter channeled from cosmic nothingness. It is the nothing, the void: energy without matter. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
This theme ties in with feelings of helplessness, and the feeling of being inferior and insignificant: unloved from those who need Positronium. <br />
<br />
<br />
Spirituality, the Electron corresponds to Mother energy of divine love, it is bound to the nucleus of the atom by love, the Proton represents Father Will and carries a lot of information about values and concepts, and the Neutron is Christed energy.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Christed energy transcends religion – it expresses inherent morality that bounds us all as spiritual beings stemming from the rightful balance between two existential paths. It is unconditional love to all there is: free from duality between good and bad or from any religious, social or political constraints. <br />
<br />
<br />
In the spiritual world matter comes into being from the unity of these three aspects, before finally incarnating into the physical world.<br />
<br />
<br />
Positronium, the anti-matter: only has Mother divine love (Electron) and Father will (Proton) but without the Christed energy (Neutron) these two annihilate each other, causing a vacuum, a nihilistic attitude towards life. <br />
<br />
<br />
I sense that the remedy has a strong component of split personality due to the absence of a neutron; there is a strong pull of forces, the electron and its anti-particle a positron. <br />
<br />
<br />
In the spiritual world all vacuum must be filled, leaving the patient who requires this remedy open to entity possession, schizoid episodes or split personality disorders.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
In this remedy we have two opposite forces fighting each other to the point of non self, annihilation, in vacuum, with the outcome that light is produced whilst one fights its inner shadow. <br />
<br />
This battle of the Electron and the Proton expresses the dualistic issues addressed by the remedy; it is interesting that from their reaction, electron versus positron, the outcome is not just the one photon but two photons: revealing the potential both have to become light, and confirming the Antroposophical principal that evil is just misplaced good. <br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple;"><strong>Positronium and the homeopathic proving:</strong></span><br />
<br />
<br />
At a mental and emotional level the proving revealed a need for balance of the right and left side of the brain, with some people wanting to be more creative, others starting to enjoy and understand better scientific theories. <br />
<br />
A need for balancing the right and left brain, a great sensitivity to music, which ameliorates most of her symptoms, and with the patient expressing their creativity through dance. <br />
<br />
<br />
In the proving there are issues about heaviness, of either feeling like a stone unresponsive to other’s emotions or over sensitive to them. <br />
<br />
<br />
People tend to overeat and then feel that food heavies them. <br />
<br />
The have a need for grounding and for being emotionally centered. <br />
<br />
<br />
They tend to feel oppressed when having to share their space, very paranoid about people listening to their conversations or activities, very aware of other people invading their space. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
They showed warmth and motherly feelings towards children, or emotionally vulnerable people. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Other themes in the proving: the desire for structure and clarity. <br />
Empathy with Mother Nature and concern for nourishing and being nourished. <br />
<br />
A desire for unity between their masculine and their feminine sides. <br />
<br />
Very critical and assertive, trying to be objective and not wanting to make small talk or to be bogged down by social conventions and family obligations. <br />
There is a great sensitivity to music, and feelings of being easily angry and threatened. <br />
People who proved this remedy also had an intense desire for changing physical appearance, changing hairstyle and so on, in order to define themselves as individuals.<br />
One doesn’t have to look hard to find how the keynotes of Positronium connect intimately with the life story of David Bowie!<br />

</tbody></table>
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>He was one of the “Natwest three”: three British bankers who were charged with fraud linked to Enron's downfall, and extradited to US for trial. </strong></span><br />
<br />
At the time there was a great uproar against what was called an ambivalent law that allowed British citizens to be deported to the US without any further explanation under the terrorism act.<br />
<br />
In this country what they did, although it breached their contract with Natwest, was classed as "theft of opportunity", but in the US they faced a much more serious charge of elaborated fraud against Eron. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>Mulgrew’s background:</strong></span><br />
<br />
He was born in Glasgow in 1962. The youngest of three boys, still a baby when they were all taken into care, when their mother and she couldn’t cope after their father left . <br />
<br />
At four he and his brothers were moved to an orphanage, two years later their mum was finally able to take them back. <br />
<br />
By then Gary’s psyche had been permanently damaged by a sense of guilty and self- blame from being abandoned, a desperate need for other people’s approval and a pathological fear of the dark. <br />
<br />
His father eventually made contact with him when he was 11yrs and from then on they started to forge a relationship. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>He has recently been release from jail and has just published a book: Gang of One</strong></span><br />
<br />
<br />
His book focuses on the time he spent at a notorious prison in the USA: Big Spring Federal Correction Institution.<br />
<br />
It’s his account of the process that led up to his conviction and the time spent in the notorious violent and lawless jail in the US, which he describes as a social experiment: a Big Brother House full of psychos, where a cell is like a warehouse with 80 inmates living in there.<br />
<br />
He's donating most of the proceedings from the book’s sales to charity, and his main motivation for writing is the hope that it will help him to make contact with his missing daughter. <br />
<br />
He has two children; Callum was 8yrs and Cara Katrina 5yrs at the time <br />
Gary's process started. Gary and their mother had divorced two years earlier and while Callum chose to live with him, Cara shared her time between both parents. He believes that she is now living in Tunisia with her mum who re-married a Tunisian, but he has not heard from them since.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>Coping with the absence of his daughter Cara Katrina: </strong></span><br />
<br />
He wants his book to be a record for her, while she's gone, to prove to her "that I was always trying, that she was always loved and it wasn't her fault.” He blamed himself from being abandoned by his father as a child and he is concerned that his daughter might feel the same way. <br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Some of his quotes:</span></strong><br />
He admits of being plagued by self-doubt and a need for other people’s approval throughout his life: <br />
<br />
He describes it as "a powerful sense of self-doubt and a terrible need to be liked, even when he found himself at the very top of the money tree."<br />
<br />
Recalling his orphanage report years later brings him a mixture of sadness for the child he once was and of anger towards the way he was treated:<br />
<br />
"It was heartbreaking. It was terrible. I had once given somebody something, a cross or something, to 'be my best friend'. They describe me as a 'needy child'. I'm kind of pissed off about that, because why wouldn't you be.... Of course I was needy.<br />
<br />
On the love for his children he says: <br />
<br />
"Your love for your children doesn't diminish, it just doesn't. And it's very, very difficult to, um… it's difficult to see… to function normally, right? <br />
<br />
On how he copes with his daughter’s absence: <br />
<br />
I have to feel every day that I've done just a little bit. It just helps me." <br />
<br />
He shows a determination to not let go of his children, to cope only through doing something every day towards them. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>His fears:</strong></span><br />
<br />
Fear of the dark from being locked in a garage as a punishment at his orphanage. <br />
<br />
He makes lists of his fears and tries to work through them using word association and grading them between bad and catastrophic. He admits having made many decisions in his life and even in his banking career by using this method. <br />
<br />
On the days running up to conviction he worked through his apprehension about the impending prison sentence by making the following list: "PRISON" "rape", then "buggery". "Shagged". "Buggery" again. Then "violence", "darkness", "murder", "extortion", "blackmail", "bitch", "knives", "death", "gangs", "gang rape".<br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>He admits never having been very brave. </strong></span><br />
<br />
He feels easily cornered and has always been afraid of violence, trying to avoid direct conflict with anyone, even in his short career as a bouncer he always tried to be nice. <br />
<br />
In prison he refused to be associated with any of the gangs: they were notoriously violent towards anyone who didn’t belong. He managed to remain neutral and even when witnessing some of his fellow inmates being assaulted he didn’t intervene in order not to attract the same sort of violence towards himself. <br />
<br />
If his people-pleasing tendencies were part of what made him so successful, they were also his downfall.<br />
<br />
On his career progression from bank cashier to running the high profile Greenwich Natwest investment division, he says that he was good at it, and fast-tracked by supportive bosses. He admits that he was proud of belonging to the Bankers' fold.<br />
<br />
"I got paid a phenomenal amount of money. And I'll tell you something, I never asked for it. I was amazed when I got it, and what it meant for me was… Me! Me. Look at me. I've made it in this business, I can't bloody believe it. I think I had moments of extreme arrogance."<br />
<br />
His father referring to his success in the City once sent him a letter saying: "Congratulations. Looks like you've finally beaten me." Later he elaborated: “You've always been driven by me. You've always wanted to beat me.”<br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>He admits being "dazzled" by Fastow, t</strong></span><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>he man who led him to the Enron infamous deal : </strong></span><br />
<br />
"He's the CFO of America's hotshot company, he's 36 years of age, an Ivy League guy. He has all those nice things in life: nice teeth, nice hair, shakes your hand properly. So when he offered me the investment, if he'd asked me to invest in a pizza parlour with him, I would have done it."<br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>After they’d done the deal, Gary had second thoughts but he didn’t act on those: </strong></span><br />
<br />
"Of course, I was fascinated about how he had made so much money on the Swap Sub deal. And, of course, I never asked him. I thought about asking him, but instead I decided to act like I did that every Tuesday, that I was cool. And when I look at that now I just… I think I was a horse's arse. Those are the kind of bits where I think I must have been polluted by it. All I did was thank him. 'Thanks very much, that was great. Maybe we'll do some more in the future.' I just stood there like a big diddy. And that's dreadful, I think."<br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>He has a tendency for blaming himself, both for his mistakes and for events out of his control: </strong></span><br />
<br />
He and his two colleagues took the plea bargain rather than fighting the case: losing would mean at least 20 years in prison instead of the 37 months sentence they got.<br />
<br />
When asked if he was guilty he says: “In law, it's a fact that I'm guilty. I am guilty. Definitely, I have to be. I went to jail."<br />
<br />
He blamed himself for his father’s abandonment as a child and he blames himself now for having abandoned his own children while serving his prison term. <br />
<br />
When he had his son he couldn’t speak to his father for a while as the sense of abandonment he experienced as a baby became in more evident. Later he explained to his father: 'I didn't speak to you because I had a son, and I couldn't believe that you had f**** off and not been there. I can't understand that. I would never leave my kids.” <br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple;"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">Now he blames himself: "I left them to go to prison. And everything that has gone wrong since."</span></strong></span><br />
<br />
He is a loner, brought out of his clan, his family from an early age.<br />
<br />
He's never been able to integrate since. <br />
<br />
He’s been through life always looking for approval looking for brethren to belong too. <br />
<br />
For a while It seemed that he’d found it amongst the bankers, but still his continuous need for approval and for making friends, combined with arrogance and the pride of thinking that he could beat the system and make a quick buck got him in trouble.<br />
<br />
In jail he couldn’t associate himself with a gang either, unable to find common ground with any of them. <br />
<br />
In society he still finds himself as a pariah, he says: 'People get much more bent out of shape about me being an ex-banker than they do about me being a convicted fraudster. He jokes: ' Convicted fraudster was the first step of my rehabilitation."<br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>Gary’s Homeopathy prescription is Lac Lupinum:</strong></span><br />
<br />
Lac Lupinum is one of the homeopathic milk remedies, it's Wolf's milk. <br />
<br />
All the milks are important for addressing childhood abandonment, lack of self-confidence, feelings of being unloved, and phobias that stem from childhood trauma. <br />
<br />
Lac Lupinum has a particular concern about children, about caring for them and protecting them. <br />
<br />
The wolves live in close knit community. Every group has a well-defined hierarchy, with the alpha female running the pack: every member knows exactly their place, and their function. <br />
<br />
Contrarily to traditional tales, wolves tend to avoid direct confrontation and seldom attack a human unless they have no choice. <br />
<br />
They only take sick or old animals which are an easy prey.<br />
<br />
They never abandon a member of their pack when sick, old or wounded, it is normally the doomed animal that choses to isolate itself if they feel they are going to die. <br />
<br />
Lac Lupinum patients have a deep need for integration: they feel outsiders in their own family, they crave approval and recognition, and they have to compete for status. They are very concious of being shuned by their community and have a deep fear of falling from grace: for them acceptance is a question of survival: if a wolf is forced to leave the pack it may not survive, as they hunt in group.<br />
<br />
Wolves are responsive to the Full Moon: they need light, and they are particularly active during this period. They are also fascinated by fire: another source of light. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>Gary’s real clan is his family </strong></span><br />
<br />
It's been blown apart by his own acts, he admits, but he is determined to make emends and not to give up until they can be reunited again – he knows what's like to grow up without a father…<br />

<h3>
<span style="color: purple;">The not so rogue trader, a soft, sensitive man.</span> </h3>
<br />
And a man of many ladies at least that’s what his neighbour says… <br />
according to the same neighbour, whose favourite book was that written by a Wall Street man who claimed to <br />
<br />
<h3>
<span style="color: purple;">“party like a rock star and live like a king”</span> </h3>
<br />
A man who kept himself to himself ( the nosey neighbour again!) who worked in finance and was trusted with the responsibility of dealing with huge amounts of money. <br />
<br />
He comes from a strong religious background. He was Quaker educated, and his class mates recall how he would make motivational speeches about family values and about how his dad inspired him to be the best, yet kind and considerate towards others. <br />
<br />
When stress kicked in, and the risk to be caught gambling other people's money as a UBS trader, his psyche threatening to crumble under the permanent stress, he confessed to his neighbour (that neighbour again!) that he needed a "miracle"...<br />
<br />
<h3>
<span style="color: purple;">In the end there was no miracle, and he decided to "jump rather then be pushed" confessing to his superiors what he had done.</span></h3>
<br />
His father, a former United Official has come in to offer support - he has pleaded with the Media to give his son a chance to be heard, he has claimed his son to be an honest man! <br />
<br />
Yet his son hasn't not spoken in court, has not offered a justification for what he's done, has not even entered a plea: guilty or Innocent.<br />
<br />

A lack of self-esteem and a constant fear of disappointing those in a position of authority causes the person who needs Aurum Carb to seek to prove to themselves further and further by assuming tasks where they are trusted to look after others within their family or clan.<br />
<br />
Although they are ambitious and seek a status and responsibility, they are too weak be at the top of hierarchy, instead they need their self-worth to be validated by a father figure in their life.<br />
<br />
<h3>
<span style="color: purple;">This remedy is a salt, a combination of two elements: Gold and Carbon:</span> </h3>
<br />
In the case of Kweku Adoboli, the <span style="color: purple;"><strong>"Gold"</strong></span> aspect of the remedy represents the social status and responsibility in the financial world as well as his religious background, and the need to keep dark secrets - those that would cause a fall from status if revealed. <br />
<br />
<h3>
<span style="color: purple;">Aurum has a suicidal tendency:</span></h3>
"Jumping rather than pushed" is very much part of the Aurum profile with its need to remain in control until the very end, even if this means having to take a dramatic action: it is the typical remedy deep depression with suicidal thoughts of jumping from high places.<br />
<br />
The <span style="color: purple;"><strong>"Carbon"</strong></span> aspect of the remedy represents his sensitivity and vulnerability, as well as the strong paternal values. The individuals requiring Carbonicum remedies have a deep need for paternal guidance and approval. They define themselves by their father's status, and they try hard not to tarnish their family name - for them it is a question of acceptance too - being shunned by their family is the worth thing that could happen to them.<br />
<br />
<h3>
<span style="color: purple;">His week long trial has began today. He is quoted saying, while chocking back the tears:</span></h3>
<br />
"It isn't about a bank. It was about what I thought was my family,
considering how much I neglected my real friends and family.<br />
<br />
"Every single bit of effort I put into that organisation was for the benefit
of the bank, the people around me and the book I worked on.<br />
<br />
"If I was not so proud to work for UBS, I would never put so much effort
trying to convince them that we could achieve something at this bank."<br />
<br />
"To find yourself in Wandsworth Prison for nine months because all
you did was work so hard for this bank..."<br />
<br />
His father said in his defence:<br />
<br />
"He wanted to make sure we could build something we could all be proud of,"
Mr Adoboli said.<br />

<div align="left">
This week the Undercover Homeopath analyses Demi Moore's psychological profile according to homeopathy principles, and prescribes a homeopathic remedy.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Husky voice, dark long locks, a melancholic expression, beautiful expressive eyes between green and hazel, and I mean literally: her left eye is green and the right hazel. </div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>She was at one time voted one of the 50 most beautiful people in the world. </strong></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div align="left">
Demi has always played sexy roles, perhaps the most memorable were in “Indecent proposal”, “Ghost”, and “Striptease”. </div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>She seems to have an exhibitionist personality both on and off the screen. </strong></span></div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
She has posed nude many times before her career took off, also after, even striping at a talk show. The most famous of her nude poses is the photo above when she was heavily pregnant. </div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
At the moment she is painfully thin, and was recently admitted to A&E suffering from the effects of drug abuse, malnourishment and quite possibly a broken heart. According to her spokesperson she‘s suffering from “exhaustion”. </div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>She’s reported to have several addictions: </strong></span></div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
Adderrall, an amphetamine available on prescription in US and Canada but illegal anywhere else, used to treat ADHD and narcolepsy. </div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
Red Bull, an energy drink loaded with sugar (28 spoons per can) and caffeine, plus a few other strong stimulants in small quantities considered not sufficient to affect a healthy individual - Demi is not a healthy individual thought, she is malnourished and under a cocktail of drugs. </div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
Her other known addictions include alcohol, cocaine and nitrous oxide better known as laughing gas: an anaesthetic. </div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
Without going into too much detail on the possible side effects of Red Bull: there’s a lot more to worry about as far as Demi’s regular drug intake is concerned, let’s just look at the side effects of Adderrall and Nitrous Oxide. </div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
<strong><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Adderrall side effects include</span></strong> fast, pounding, or uneven heartbeats; feeling light-headed, fainting; increased blood pressure with severe headache, blurred vision, trouble concentrating, chest pain, numbness, seizure; tremor, restlessness, hallucinations, unusual behaviour, or muscle twitches, headache or dizziness; insomnia; dry mouth or an unpleasant taste in your mouth; diarrhoea, constipation; loss of appetite, weight loss; low libido.</div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
Severe allergic reactions with rash; hives; itching; difficulty breathing; tightness in the chest; swelling of the mouth, face, lips, or tongue; blurred vision or other vision problems; change in sexual ability or desire; chest pain; confusion; fainting; fast or irregular heartbeat; fever, chills, or sore throat; new or worsening mental or mood problems such as aggression, agitation, anxiety, delusions, depression, hallucination, hostility; numbness or tingling of an arm or leg; one-sided weakness; painful or frequent urination; red, swollen, peeling, or blistered skin; seizures; severe or persistent headache; severe stomach pain; severe weight loss; shortness of breath; sudden, severe dizziness or vomiting; slurred speech; uncontrolled muscle movement; unusual weakness or tiredness.</div>
<br />
<div align="left">
<strong><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Nitrous oxide</span></strong> (laughing gas) is an anaesthetic that is increasingly being used as a recreational drug; also known as Whip-its, it can cause anaemia in prolonged use. It also causes acidosis which is a disturbance in the acid-base balance in the lowering the blood serum PH, and leading to accumulation of lactic acid in the tissues, among other things. </div>
<br />
<div align="left">
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>At the emotional level, Moore expresses her feelings beautifully revealing a candid picture of herself:</strong></span></div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
She’s emotionally immature, part of her psyche has remained undeveloped, frozen in childhood. </div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
She’s gone through life just like a child, feeling lonely when she is not in a relationship, trying to fit in when she is, afraid of being rejected, yet demanding and needy, wanting to be the centre of attention at all cost. Insecure about her looks, in her mind the only reason for her dejection is her physical body not being perfect, betraying her. </div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>As a child she learnt what was like to be different, to have a deformity. </strong></span></div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
It can blight a child’s life to feel rejected for the way she looks, and having to wear an eye patch to correct a lazy eye must have been traumatic for Demi. </div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
As a teenager she learnt to use her looks to manipulate those around her and to get what she wanted – undoubtedly pretty she started her career as a Pin-Up. And what she wanted was drugs – she spent most her first wages in drugs and partying showing a complete escapist attitude. </div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>Some of her quotes:</strong></span></div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
She shows concern with being rejected or criticised: “I'm sure there are a lot of people who think I'm a bitch.”</div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
Needy: fear of being abandoned, fear of feeling unloved. Needs to be in relationship in order to feel loved: "What scares me is that I'm going to ultimately find out at the end of my life that I'm really not lovable, that I'm not worthy of being loved. That there's something fundamentally wrong with me...and that I wasn't wanted here in the first place."</div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
She’s is trying to come to terms with it, by repeating the advice she's been given, but for now those are just hollow words that she repeats without really grasping their full meaning: "I used to think that what scared me was the idea of being abandoned until someone said to me, 'Only children can be abandoned. Adults can’t be abandoned because we have a choice. Children don’t have a choice,”</div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
Fear of failure, fear that her body will let her down: "When I'm at the greatest odds with my body, it's usually because I feel my body's betraying me, whether that's been in the past, struggling with my weight and feeling that I couldn't eat what I wanted to eat, or that I couldn't get my body to do what I wanted it to do.” </div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
Now she gets the reverse of the coin – her body has become too thin but she’s still doesn’t understand that it’s not all about her body: "I think I sit today in a place of greater acceptance of my body, and that includes not just my weight but all of the things that come with your changing body as you age to now experiencing my body as extremely thin - thin in a way that I never imagined somebody would be saying to me, "You're too thin, and you don't look good."</div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
Self-doubt, and lack of confidence. Self-centred perspective of the world: thinking that everyone wants the same thing: “I think we all want the same things. We all want to feel loved, and feel a part of something, but we all have self-doubt no matter where we came from.”</div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
Greedy: her nickname in Hollywood circles used to be "Gimme more" such were her demands for extra fringe benefits and perks. </div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
Fear of losing it all: “Unwillingness to risk failure is always there, but it gets harder when you feel you have more to lose. So the better place to keep yourself in is out of your comfort zone, willing to try even at the risk of failing. And that's not natural to me at all. In fact, it's completely unnatural.</div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
And perhaps the most revealing: her lack of trust in others and in the universe, the need to control in order to feel safe: “What scares me the most is not knowing and accepting that just about everything is not in my control,” she said. “That makes me feel unsafe.”</div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
<strong><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Demi's homeopathic prescription: </span></strong></div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
Demi Moore needs a Milk remedy for the lack of nurturing she’s suffered in her childhood and which left her with a poor image of her body, eating disorders, lack of self-love and a permanent fear of being abandoned. But she also needs an Acid remedy to address her exhaustion. </div>
<br />
<br />
<div align="left">
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>Milk remedies in general:</strong></span></div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
Address emotional imbalances, depression, feelings of abandonment, eating disorders, and sexual dysfunctions that originated during the 1st seven years of a child.</div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
When the emotional body is deprived of a normal development and unable to move on from the physical needs expressed during the first seven year period From this situation many psychological issues arise of abusing or being abused by others, at a physical level, there is a common tendency for lactose intolerance, skin diseases such as eczema which denote a lack of proper boundaries and an avoidance to being touched or held, general assimilation and digestive problems, poor self-image perception often with the idea that the person is impure, unattractive, inferior to their peers, etc., giving rise to issues about being bullied, and generally abused by others.</div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>Acid remedies in general: </strong></span></div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
There are several homeopathic acid remedies they all treat exhaustion at one level or another, some are more suitable for addressing physical exhaustion others mental exhaustion and so on. I’ve already given you the picture of one of them, Phosphoric Acid when I presented the psychological profile of Lady Gaga. </div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
<strong><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Lactic Acid</span></strong> has exhaustion like all the acids but with the peculiar symptom of being restless. It combines both the qualities of the Lac remedies and those of the acids. It also covers most of the side effects that can result from the abuse of both Adderrall and laughing gas!</div>
<br />
<div align="left">
Lactic acid is present in foods, primarily in sour milk products, such as koumiss, laban, yogurt, kefir, and some cottage cheeses. The casein in fermented milk is coagulated, curdled, by lactic acid.</div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
Lactic acid has been blamed for the muscular pain we feel after exercising, although this long standing theory is now being disproved, and research has now concluded that the presence of lactic acid after exercising is actually part of the cell metabolism necessary for muscle development and its recovery. </div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
Lactic acid is also essential for the brain metabolism, particularly but not only during pregnancy for foetal development: it's the “brain’s food” – it's used by our neurons when glucose is converted into Lactate. </div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
In the homeopathic proving Lactic Acid is an important remedy for the treatment of diabetes, rheumatism and digestive symptoms such as alternating constipation and diarrhoea, as well as nausea: being one of the most effective remedies for morning sickness during pregnancy. </div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
Lactic acid is now being proved vital for the development of the nervous system of a baby during pregnancy. As a homeopathic remedy it can correct the hormonal imbalance that causes morning sickness, with or without vomiting, and excessive salivation - </div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
<strong><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Pregnancy is a big issue for Demi: </span></strong></div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
Her father abandoned her teenage mum before she was born. </div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
Demi herself is a fertility goddess of our time. She has become the embodiment of the sacred feminine at its most beautiful and powerful – the pregnant form, a symbol of nurturing and unconditional love when she had that famous photo taken, while seven months pregnant.</div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>Incidentally Demi is short for Demeter her real name, and the namesake of the Greek Goddess of Fertility!</strong></span></div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
Patients who require this remedy may also suffer from dryness and rawness of mouth and throat, causing hoarseness – or in the case of Demi, a permanent husky voice. </div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
It is also the indicated remedy when there is profuse sweating especially of the feet, excessive urination, great thirst, lack of appetite occasionally alternating with voracious appetite, burning and weight in the stomach, nausea first thing in the morning, vertigo. – These are all symptoms that can be present in diabetes, but they are also consistent with dehydration. And dehydration is one of the side effects of caffeine, in Demi’s case through the excessive intake of Red Bull.</div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
All Lactic Acid symptoms are better for staying still yet the patient is restless - Demi takes Adderall a prescription drug to control ADHD. </div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>Lactic Acid is the combination of both – a milk and an acid, and it could be the one to help Demi Moore to reach her full potential!</strong></span></div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
It’s a great remedy, well proved in its physical application but almost unknown for its mental picture. To paraphrase my friend Francis Treuherz an amazing homeopath and a most inspiring teacher: In every small remedy there is a pollycrest wanting to come out! </div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
In my opinion Lacticum Acidum deserves further proving into its mental and emotional reach. </div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
Particularly pertinent at this stage when science is just starting to understand the role of Lactate in the development and maintenance of our nervous system, and we are seeing a great incidence of neurological diseases both of formative and degenerative nature: the increase of ADHD and autistic spectrum disorders in children, as well as dementia, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s in the elderly. </div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
The original proving also seems promising in treating the characteristic symptoms of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: CFS. </div>

<br />
This week the Undercover Homeopath analyses Gerard Butler's psychological profile according to homeopathy principles, and prescribes a homeopathic remedy.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>Gerard Butler is a successful Hollywood actor. </strong></span><br />
<br />
He’s been in a few romantic comedies like P.S. I love you, and Bounty Hunter but he is at his best in roles with a very dark side such as Attila, Leonidas, Dracula, Phantom of the Opera, Childers in the Machine Gun Preacher, and his latest: Tullus Aufidius in Coriolanus. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>His life has not always been a success, as he puts it: “At 24, I thought dying might be a relief.” </strong></span><br />
<br />
Originally from Scotland, he comes from an educated but modest background. His father abandoned the family when Gerard was 2yrs old, but returned when the actor was 16yrs. <br />
<br />
Father and son didn’t have much time to get to know each other as he left the family again when Gerard was 22yrs, this time for good, due to terminal cancer. <br />
<br />
His mother according to Gerard is a “lioness”, referring to her courage in bringing up three children single handed, her bravery protecting the family and their home against the neighbourhood thugs, her dignity, and her loyalty towards him even when he was in trouble with the police as a youngster.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>A gifted student with a good intellect he went on the study law, but in the end his heart won and he became an actor. </strong></span><br />
<br />
He came into acting later than most actors and without the usual drama school background, but with armed with determination to succeed and the emotional depth that only real life experience can bring… <br />
<br />
His characters are strong, powerful, raw, and intense. Their energy is like a radioactive force that emanates from the deepest collective unconscious where it has laid dormant, rising up to permeate our reality.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>To watch one of his movies is to be pulled right into the eye of an emotional storm: </strong></span><br />
<br />
Where we can no longer ignore the ugly side of human kind but we must outweigh the reasons for the character's behaviour – we are forced into making our own moral judgement. <br />
<br />
Stormy is also the character of this actor – we can sense that his friendly charm has the shadow of a potential storm brewing… referring to his make-up disfigurement in the Phantom of the Opera he says: “It illuminates the ugliness and the beauty that exists within each of us”.<br />
<br />
Gerard is now a long way from his wildest younger days: he practises meditation to help him curb his compulsions and to seek his spiritual dimension. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>We can sense that he has done a lot of soul searching, and it has paid off: </strong></span><br />
<br />
He has managed to keep his alcohol and smoking addictions under control, and has become a more balanced individual. <br />
<br />
He was recently involved in a near death experience: while filming a surf scene he was dragged underwater by powerful waves, in the ambulance on the way to hospital, he had a strong urge to go back and try again…<br />
<br />
That's who he is: someone who doesn't give up, someone who thrives on a challenge! <br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>Gerard Butler’s homeopathic remedy is Plutonium Nitricum:</strong></span><br />
<br />
Plutonium is part of the radioactive group of the periodic table: the actinides. <br />
It is a remedy of deep action unto the subconscious, it has a strong desire to dwell into the darkest aspects of the soul as well as a great sense of lightness and exhilaration.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>It's a seeker of spirituality, but with a vertical polarity: just as it can reach great enlightenment it can also reach the greatest depths of darkness. </strong></span><br />
<br />
It is well indicated where the patient oscillates between conflicting emotions, in manic depressive states. It's also a remedy for addictions, alcoholism, and strong sexual compulsions. <br />
<br />
This remedy carries the primeval archetype of the cave man: they fantasise being powerful warriors, they need an outlay for all that excess testosterone, male sexual energy that is so typical of this remedy. Sexual addiction can also run high in these patients. <br />
<br />
Patients desire red meat, they can even suffer delusions of being a vampire craving fresh blood, or dreaming of being bats hanging upside down in the Underworld.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>They have a great charisma, even an aura of magic about them.</strong> </span></span><br />
<br />
And Just like Plutonium is a powerful source of energy but can also cause terrible destruction and devastation far reaching both in time and space, so can the Plutonium patient – they can be a great source of inspiration to a vast number of people, they are dynamic and motivating when they are emotionally balanced, but can become unstable easily, they then become needy and energy draining even at a psychic level – from a distance.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>Plutonium Nitricum has all of these characteristics but tries to repress them:</strong></span> <br />
<br />
The destructive power of Plutonium is now contained by the Nitricum aspect. On doing so, this patient type tends to suffer bouts of depression, with occasional rages of devastating proportions if they are thrown off balance. <br />
<br />
They are the type of patient you wouldn’t like to get on the wrong side, and I wouldn’t like to get on Gerard’s wrong side either if you ask me…<br />

<br />
<br />
This week the Undercover Homeopath analyses Professor Green's psychological profile according to homeopathy principles, and prescribes a homeopathic remedy.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
He comes from a difficult background: he grew up in Hackney, a poor and crime ridden London borough. He was raised by his Nan to who is full of praise. He had a tense relationship with his father who eventually committed suicide a few years ago. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>His classmates called him Professor Green: professor because of his bright mind, and green as an allusion to the Cannabis he sold. </strong></span><br />
<br />
He shot up to fame after a Freestyling session at a friend’s party – he won the competition even thought he had no previous experience. <br />
<br />
His first single “Before I die” was a success, “Remedy”, “Monster” are also well known tracks, and his new album to be released on Monday “Never Be A Right Time ” is waited with anticipation by his fans.<br />
<br />
Some of his video-clips are quite gruesome, such as “Before I die” where he appears to be hang from a strip of paper with black and white piano keys. He also appears to simulate sex in bed with a woman. Then we see him again as a third persona covered in blood, holding his own internal organs, and singing …<br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>What is most staggering is the lack of emotional involvement from both him and his female partner throughout the clip. </strong></span><br />
<br />
It’s like throughout this horror scenario nothing really matters, it is of no consequence, and it is not really being experienced.<br />
<br />
In real life, Professor Green has had a few dramatic exchanges with other rappers who resent his apparently effortless success. <br />
<br />
But perhaps the most dramatic of the attacks he has suffered was when he was stabbed in the neck, on top the word “lucky” a tattoo he had done only a few days earlier. Lucky or unlucky? It is debatable, perhaps the attacker didn’t like the tattoo or didn’t believe in luck, but for Green it was certainly a close call! <br />
<br />
Green used to suffer from sleep paralysis, I sense this has been supressed through drugs, but his subconscious tends to spill out through his artistic expression.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>Professor Green homeopathic remedy is Stramonium:</strong></span><br />
<br />
Stramonium patients suffer from all sorts of sleep disturbances such as sleepwalking and sleep paralysis. <br />
<br />
They can have a history of suicidal tendencies: in Green’s case, it was his dad’s demise, but also a possibility in “Before I die”. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>They have a very rich but conflicting subconscious which they try to supress once they mature. </strong></span><br />
<br />
As children they are less guarded: they are difficult children with conflicting emotions, often expressing themselves through tantrums, excusing their violent actions with imaginary characters: for them these can appear very real, instructing them to perform all sorts of violent acts. <br />
<br />
Stramonium has been used to numb people, and to make them comply with other people’s wishes: there are narratives of this poison been used by many cultures throughout the world for these means. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>Perhaps the most notorious is the Zombification of Haiti natives: they would be given a cocktail of Stramonium and a neurotoxin extracted from Puffer fish, this would induce dead like symptoms. </strong></span><br />
<br />
They were buried, but later dug up and “resuscitated” by the Zombie maker. In their confused state where the victim had seen themselves as dead and then brought to life, they were apathetic and less likely to resist when they were taken to plantations to work as slaves. <br />
<br />
This homeopathic remedy is also indicated when the patient is afraid of the dark, but feels worst when exposed to light. <br />
<br />
The Stramonium patient has a strong sexuality, Professor Green has made an interesting allusion to this: when asked which animal he would like to be, he replied: “Dolphin because they are the only other animal who has sex for fun”. <br />
<br />
People who require Stramonium as a remedy tend to wear either black or white- Green often wears his trademark black with white stripe tracksuit, sometimes just the bottoms with a white T-Shirt. <br />
<br />
For those patients who suffer from visual disturbances, black appears as green, which is interesting considering the Professor’s name... <br />

<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>Antony Worrall Thompson has been caught shoplifting from his local supermarket.</strong></span> <br />
<br />
He had a technique: he used self-checkout, scanning some items and failing to scan others such as cheese and wine. Thompson has now been charged with five theft offenses all committed during a period of two weeks. <br />
<br />
Those two weeks coincided with the run up to Christmas and New Year – stressful times for most of us and more so to a professional chef, with a lot of expectations put on the cooking and presentation of food, party hosting and so on. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>Antony is not just a professional chef, he is a celebrity chef made famous by his appearances in the TV program Ready, Steady, Cook.</strong></span> <br />
<br />
He has an image to preserve…yet several times throughout his life he’s let the mask slip. He comes from a middle class family, and thanks to his grandmother he had a privileged upbringing, but his upbringing was also very traumatic and damaging. <br />
<br />
His parents who were both actors separated when he was only three years old. He was then sent to boarding school, sexually abused by people to whom he was entrusted and who should’ve been his role models. <br />
<br />
He was neglected by his mother, starved of her affection and yet desperate to please her; held at arm’s length by a grandmother who tried to provide him with a solid education consistent with their social status but depriving him, at the same time, of the love and affection that every child needs. <br />
<br />
He was left disfigured both in emotional and physical pain throughout his teenage years, due to a sports injury, waiting facial reconstruction which was only possible at twenty one years old, once his bones stopped growing. <br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">He seems to have gone through his life with a cavalier attitude towards himself and those close to him.</span></strong> <br />
<br />
His life has been a bit of rollercoaster. He’s had multiple affairs, and a few failed marriages. In business has also met success and failure. <br />
<br />
But he is proud of his life and his achievements, he is a survivor – he’s has overcome more than most of us – When he published his autobiography Raw revealing all the abuse he went through but saying that he survived it un- scattered… well, up until now…<br />
<br />
This week when the news of his arrest were made public, he finally admitted that perhaps the abuse and neglect he suffered as a young child, together with the pressure of trying to keep his career a float a midst professional and personal strain, might have played a part in his acts. He has publicly apologised and promised to seek help.<br />
<br />
I think this is the first step to emotional healing – the acknowledgment that all is not well, the admission that after all, his past has been traumatic and has left psychological scarring – now is the time to start healing!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>Thompson’s homeopathic profile is Anacardium:</strong></span><br />
<br />
<br />
Anacardium is psychologically split. They feel continuously divided between what they represent and who they really are. They may have a public image to preserve; social values become less and less important to them as the psychological damage sets in. This damage tends to occur in their early years, but remains repressed until the individual can longer cope with the contrast between social / moral values and what they’ve experienced during their formative years. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>In order to survive the abuse they’ve been subjected to, they had cut themselves from their own feelings. </strong></span><br />
<br />
They tend to compensate by overeating, and they tend to become overweight: they crave sweets and alcohol. Some report “not being themselves” while eating or shopping! <br />
<br />
<br />
They are prone to terrible mood swings which can make them extremely violent, and yet they are also pacifists as they fear conflicts and other people’s rage – they will repress their own anger for as long as possible in order to avoid direct confrontation, afraid of their own reactions, until it all becomes too much…<br />
<br />
Some patients who are within the Anacardium psychological profile have described themselves as having a good side and a bad side. <br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">An angel sits on one shoulder, a demon on the other whispering at them - is how some have describe it. </span></strong><br />
<br />
Antony has mentioned the “demon on his shoulder” telling him to do what he did…<br />

<br />
<div align="justify">
</div>
<div align="justify">
<br />
This week the Undercover Homeopath analyses Bradley Manning's psychological profile according to homeopathy principles, and prescribes a homeopathic remedy.<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>Army intelligence analyst Private First Class Bradley E. Manning accused of releasing classified information to WikiLeaks. </strong></span></div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
He has been detained in solitary confinement since July 2010 and he waiting trial. </div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
Before Manning joined the army he was an idealist who held the role of his country in the fight for freedom into great account. </div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
After joining the army as an intelligence analyst, however, the cracks started to appear: his view of the military as a defender of the good against the evil changed. </div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
He was quoted saying to Lamo, on a chat room: “I don’t believe in good guys versus bad guys anymore,” “Only a plethora of states acting in self-interest.”</div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
On another occasion he asked Lamo: “If you had free reign over classified networks for long periods of time… say, 8-9 months… and you saw incredible things, awful things… things that belonged in the public domain, and not on some server stored in a dark room in Washington DC… what would you do?”</div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
To Assange he is quoted with saying that publishing a file of hundreds of thousands of classified reports on Iraq and Afghanistan would prove ‘one of the more significant documents of our time, removing the fog of war and revealing the true nature of 21st-century asymmetrical warfare.’ ”</div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
He was also going through severe hardship and emotional turmoil in his private life, which were made worse when his long term relationship broke up. </div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
According to court evidence, he asked for help from his superiors by writing a letter describing his gender identity crisis and attaching a photo of him dressed as woman – Brenna Manning, his new identity. </div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
He even held a Facebook account and email address as Brenna. His pleas for help were ignored and so were psychotic episodes he suffered. </div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
During his psychotic crisis he alternated between physical violence towards a female superior, and a desire to isolate himself from his reality – when he was found on the floor curled up into a ball. </div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>His background: </strong></span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="color: purple;"><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;"></span></strong></span></div>
<div align="justify">
He grew up in a small American town, Crescent, Oklahoma.</div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
As a child he was small, and wore glasses. Considered by both his teachers and his peers as a bright intelligent child, who always had an opinion about issues discussed in class, he was a shy, but pleasant young man. </div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
He played music, first trombone and later electronic synthesizer. He also enjoyed philosophic discussions about ethics and what was right or wrong with his small group of friends, although as he became an adolescent he became more and more isolated, spending most of his time in his room at the computor.</div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
Life was difficult at home, when his parents’ marriage ended him and his mum had to move from to Wales, his mum's country. Before he went he had a confession to make: he told his two best friends that he was gay. </div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
Being gay brought him into direct conflict with his dad who threw him out of in the streets making homeless. Yet being true to his values, Manning openly campaigned for Gay’s rights, even after enrolling in the army where the policy at the time was “don’t ask, don’t tell”. </div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>Manning’s homeopathic profile is Silica:</strong></span></div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
Silica individuals are normally of small frame, they often have eye sight problems. They have a strong intellect, great aptitude for scientific and technological disciplines. They try to define their identity by fitting in the best they can within their group, without causing too much controversy since they are shy and dislike open confrontation or antagonism. They are however compelled to stick to their own ideals and convictions, and are considered by some to be of fixed ideas, and impossible to be persuaded otherwise once they have made their mind up. </div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
The silica individual often feels divided: divided between loyalties when their duty goes against their ideals. Even at a physical level they present with many symptoms that imply this separation. What can be a healthy, inquisitive, and bright creative mind of the silica patient can also be easily affected by a difficult childhood – they need a strong and supportive family environment if they are to develop harmoniously.</div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
In Manning’s case, his family breakdown may have seriously hampered his emotional development. When later on his life he sought that order and strong structure in the army, his need for support was once again eroded, this time by the conflict in between what he thought his mission should be and what it had become. </div>
<br />
<div align="justify">
Going through both a crisis between his moral values as a US serviceman as well as in his private life through gender confusion, his psyche became fragmented and damaged and he suffered psychotic episodes with aggressive behavior towards his superiors when his new identity as a woman was not acknowledged or honored. </div>
<br />
<div align="justify">
The patient who needs Silica as a homeopathic remedy often feels imbalance between their brain and their body, their duty and their ideals, a career in science or in art, a contradiction in between their life choices and that their loved ones would like them to choose. </div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
Isolation and a feeling of being cut off from a part of themselves are the feelings that ensue. Which is exactly where Manning finds himself at the moment! </div>

<br />
This week the Undercover Homeopath analyses Santa's psychological profile according to homeopathy principles, and prescribes a homeopathic remedy.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>Santa with his uncertain gait, carrying a heavy bag of presents, moving with a jingle in his step…full of cheer for all: children and adults!</strong></span>Laughing a hearty Ho Ho Ho, or Ha Ha Ha (apparently Santa has been banned from using the former by the PC police)…nevertheless bringing magic into everyone's home for one night, every year. <br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">But Santa can have a few health issues too! </span></strong><br />
The North Pole where he lives is mighty cold and wet – covered in snow most of the time. <br />
<br />
<br />
On Christmas Eve, he sets out on his flying sleigh pulled by reindeer all across the world, delivering gifts to all single handed: all in one night! <br />
<br />
<br />
He travels through a portal between different realities: the world of magic and make believe ruled by elementals and fairies, and the third dimensional reality where we all wait for him to spread some Christmas magic. <br />
<br />
Climbing down chimneys, trying to be nimble and quick so that no child surprises him while he carefully lays down their presents under the tree…overfed by all those biscuits, milk and erhm…<br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>Stiff drinks left out for him as a reward… and as if it wasn't enough, he's also supposed to keep the ladies happy...</strong></span> <br />
<br />
A lot of them put on their best lingerie or their sexiest nighty just in case Santa happens to take a wrong turn between the Christmas tree and the chimney and ends up in their bedroom…luckily he’s a happily married chap and Mrs Claus seems to be oblivious to all of this…still it can take its toil, especially on a chap…well…quite mature…<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>Fortunately we can assist Santa with homeopathy, and help him to be at his best this year!</strong></span><br />
Santa’s remedy is Agaricus Muscarius. It is also known as Fly Agaric the pretty mushroom with the red cap and the little white dots… very poisonous! <br />
<br />
The two main toxins ibotenic acid and muscimol have been used as entheogens in Northern Europe from ancient times, linking this mushroom to Shamanic practices, facilitating the contact between different realities, and access to magical beings such as the elementals. There are many depictions of Elves and fairies sitting under these mushrooms in fairy tales and Walt Disney movies. <br />
<br />
When intoxicated with agaric, reindeer jump around as if trying to fly, and in some Northern European cultures there has been a tradition of killing these animals and eating them in order to access some of the hallucinogenic properties of the mushroom without the poisonous effect. <br />
<br />
As a homeopathic remedy, it is useful for treating spatial and time awareness disturbances: <br />
<br />
This remedy is full of strange, rare and peculiar symptoms: these are symptoms to which we homeopaths give particular importance, as they can be almost unique to a patient and help to differentiate between remedies with similar characteristics. One of the symptoms is involuntary laughter when there is pressure on dorsal vertebras causing pain. <br />
<br />
The patient perceives time as either much lengthier than it really is or much shorter. Objects seem larger than they really are. There can be severe back ache with nervous twitching on the spine as well as sciatica. All the symptoms are worsened by consuming alcohol, which the patient often craves, also from exposure to cold and wet weather. There is a characteristic pain that feels like icy needles. This remedy is also helpful in erectile dysfunction in older patients. It’s the main remedy for frostbite. <br />
<br />
Overall, the patient who needs this remedy displays a bizarre behaviour normally with a cheerful mood as if they were slightly intoxicated - even when they haven't been drinking...<br />

Between science and magic: that's where homeopathy is...<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><strong>It's Christmas time again! Some love it, and some hate it...</strong></span><br />
<br />
Whatever your views, or even whether you celebrate it or not - this winter festival has deep roots in our subconscious, and in our collective history.<br />
<br />
It wasn't always linked to Christianity and the birth of Jesus, in fact winter celebrations marking the Solstice have been around well before Christ.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><strong>In Europe, this was marked with a great feast to celebrate the birth of the Sun:</strong></span> <br />
<br />
The end of the long nights and the beginning of longer days as the re-birth of Sun. They slaughtered the animals that couldn’t be kept throughout the winter and feasted on them from late December throughout January.<br />
<br />
Around the same time, German pagans honoured their much fierce god Oden, a dualistic god known for his unpredictable temper and a penchant for flying over their camps cursing some and blessing others…<br />
<br />
In Scandinavia the Norse celebrated Yuletide, with each family feasting until the log they burnt was consumed into ashes.<br />
<br />
The Romans had no less than three festivals that fell around Solstice. The best known: Saturnalia was celebrated in honour of Saturn, their patron of agriculture. From December the 17th to 24th, social hierarchy was reversed: slaves dressed in their masters’ clothes and were allowed to rule, children were also encouraged to rule their parents. All excesses were permitted and unpunished during the festival - overeating, gambling, drinking, and sexual promiscuity were generalised among the population at this time. <br />
<br />
By the 4th Century, with so many different pagan festivals to contend with, the Church decided that it was impossible to eradicate them and better to join them, or at least to give their followers an alternative celebration so that they wouldn’t be tempted into joining pagan celebrations, and so Christmas was born with the birth of Jesus attributed to the same date as the Winter Solstice. <br />
<br />
No matter what there are still reasons to celebrate, and so I would like to wish you a very Merry Christmas...even to those of you who refuse to be enveloped into the Christmas spirit, there is something in the air... <br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">If for nothing else because of the Higgs Boson, tentatively making its way into the limelight just when we most need it!</span></strong><br />
<br />
This tiny particle has so far been a figment of imagination. Even if real it has a mass of 124-125 gigaelectronvolts : absolutely insignificant as far as mass goes! And yet it underpins the entire Standard Model - the "instruction booklet" that describes how particles and forces interact: it explains gravity, and it is considered crucial for allowing science to “make sense” of the Universe! <br />
<br />
So there is hope that magic will be allowed to exist once again even in those skeptic and cynic minds, and that once it has been confirmed scientifically they will be able to "see it"... the God particle, as it has been nicknamed by many, might actually be real, not just something "cooked up" by Peter Higgs in order to explain the unexplainable! The Higgs particle has just been "glimpsed" on two separate scientific experiments at CERN.<br />
<br />
As someone pointed out on Twitter, and yes - I know it was supposed to be a mirth comment but it did strike a cord... "we spend billions of dollars trying to find Higgs, how come we cannot prove that homeopathy works?" <br />
<br />
I say it is not in the current interest of science to explain it - it would upset well established scientific principles that not many are willing to re-evaluate at this stage... also it gives that disafected lunatic fringe of the scientific community something to do...yes, I mean the Skeptics off course! <br />
<br />
Their sect as all the makings of religious fanaticism: it is dogmatic, based in false principles, the majority of its members is spiritually blind but is being manipulated by a few of the best scientifc brains in order to serve their interests... and it works!<br />
<br />
They are trully fanatic about demoting anything that science cannot explain yet...anything that doesn't fit into the current scientific model: it is a hobby, and that's fine...they meet in pubs, stand up comedy shows, etc...its all good fun I'm sure! Even thought that it is a destructive way of being when someone has to resort to attacking others in order to find their place in society and to define themselves...<br />
<br />
Trying to avoid the same pitfall, I try not make any personal attacks on any particular individuals... even those who cover themselves in ridicule by conducting "homeopathic overdoses" when they know fully well that homeopathic principles contervein the possibility of overdose... <br />
<br />
Even when someone claimed recently on Twitter to be a "health expert" because he's an "ex US surgical"... well, it shows that he might have observed a fair amount of human tragedy - and he certainly has my respect for that! It also shows that he's worked in a highly pressurised environment, where complementary medicine could not be an alternative and where only surgery would do... it also shows me that he had access to powerful narcotics which most people can only find in the black market...but it doesn't qualify him as a "health expert" - it just proves that in his confused mind illness equals health...one day even him will be able to "see" the link between complementary medicine and health.<br />
<br />
So let this Christmas be the dawn of a new Era for both science and magic, and remember that magic is all that science cannot yet explain...<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><strong>Merry Christmas to all - and I really mean all, no exceptions!</strong></span><br />

</tbody></table>
Adele, the soul singer and song writer: her success can only be compared to that of the Beatles; she is the first living artist since them to have two top five hits in both the UK Official Singles Chart and the Official Albums Chart simultaneously. <br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>Most of her songs have been dedicated to her ex-boyfriend, or to the relationship they once had. </strong></span><br />
<br />
She has said on an interview” It's hard singing all these songs because it makes me remember how brilliant we were when we were good... and how tragic it was when we were bad.”<br />
<br />
We have heard of her heartache of the past relationship in many of her songs, perhaps the most poignant is “Someone like you”. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>She sings with tears in her voice</strong></span><br />
<br />
we can sense how heartfelt it was for her to lose that love, and how she still feels that loss: even her body language with a pained expression on her face and the hand pressing on her chest tell a tale of regret and sadness.<br />
<br />
Earlier this year, we’ve heard of her successive voice problems, culminating with the cancellation of a series of concerts and having surgery treat a hemorrhaged vocal cord.<br />
<br />
We know of her smoking habit and her taste for beer and red wine. We’ve learnt that the singer likes sweets, such as chocolate bars, honey and muesli energy bars. She also likes fruit, bananas, apples and grapes but avoids acidic foods, such as citrus fruits, tomatoes, and vinegar. <br />
<br />
We also know that she supports “Sands” a stillbirth and neonatal death charity, and she insists that her fans make a compulsory donation to the charity in order to gain access to her. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>Adele’s homeopathic remedy at this moment in time is Antimonium Crudum</strong></span> <br />
<br />
At a physical level this remedy addresses complaints of the digestive system as well as skin. Bloating of this remedy is aggravated by acidic foods and drinks such as vinegar, tomatoes and sour wine, although paradoxically some patients do crave these. They have strong beer cravings. <br />
<br />
They can have eating disorders, with periods of overeating that can in extremes lead to bulimia, and periods where they have no appetite which in extreme situations can lead to anorexia. The main differentiation between this and other remedies for eating disorders is that these are triggered by unrequited love: either because their relationship broke down, or because there was never a relationship. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>Antimonium Crudum treats obesity in young people, laryngitis with loss of voice and skin complaints with indurations. </strong></span><br />
<br />
We can see some of the physical indications of this remedy in Adele, but the real indication for the remedy, is found in the psychological sphere.<br />
<br />
Antimonium Crudum is the remedy for people who cannot move on after falling in love with someone. Even when the relationship is decidedly over and there are no prospects of rekindle, they are unable to move on to the next relationship. <br />
<br />
They are deeply marked by that love experience, real or imaginary – often the way they perceive the relationship has little bearing to what it really was, in some cases there was not even a relationship – they might have fallen in love with someone who didn’t love them. They cannot find anyone else who compares favorably to that special person… they go on through life bleeding emotionally, deeply wounded but reveling in their emotional suffering in a masochistic way – believing the only cure is for their love to be reciprocated.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>They are in love with the being in love experience... </strong></span><br />
Their body language expresses their immense sadness to their love loss, they sigh often, they hold their chest as if the emotional pain transcended into the physical…they are incurable romantics, but in their heart they’ve already made their choice…even those who seem to move on and settle on a relationship with someone else, often secretly dream of what it might have been if only they were able to have a second chance with the only one they ever loved!<br />

</div>
This week the Undercover Homeopath analyses George Clooney's psychological profile according to homoeopathy principles and prescribes a homoeopathic remedy.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/60GVvIFq1Nc/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/60GVvIFq1Nc?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div>
<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">George Clooney needs no introduction! </span></strong><br />
<br />
Or does he? We are so used to seeing successful actors in the media that their faces, emotions and expressions become more familiar to us than our own.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
We forget that what we are looking at is a character they’ve lend themselves to in order to tell us a story.<br />
<br />
<br />
Unlike musicians who put themselves forward for all to see, and often even add on to this by writing their own lyrics, so that we get to know them really well, or artists who convey their thinking and feeling processes through their medium; actors create an illusion of total and unconditional surrender to their audience by lending their bodies, their emotions, their personal experiences to their character but without really compromising their privacy nor revealing who they are. The more an actor is typecast the more our illusion of knowing them really well is perpetuated.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>George Clooney has a particularly multifaceted character. He is a scriptwriter, movie director, producer and actor. </strong></span><br />
<br />
He plays basketball regularly. Although he doesn’t appear particularly reclusive nor secretive he has made it clear that his private life is his own and not to be shared by the media.<br />
<br />
We have known of his slightly troubled romantic life with a failed marriage and a succession of girlfriends.<br />
<br />
We know of his past jobs before he went into acting: several low profile sale jobs and even work in a tobacco plantation cutting leaves.<br />
<br />
We also know of some of his serious illnesses: while still at school he suffered from Bell’s palsy which caused him to be bullied by the other kids. He had a serious back and brain injury while filming Syriana - he was driven to contemplate suicide while in hospital, by the severe pain and the extent of the injury he suffered, at one point he was losing CFS fluid through his nose. He still suffers from occasional migraines as a result of the accident.<br />
<br />
Perhaps most touching, we've known of his pets, the most famous of all: Max the enormous potbelly pig with whom he had a special bond, crediting the pet with saving his life when the pig woke him up just before an Earthquake.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>He was twice nominated the “Sexiest Man Alive” by the People magazine</strong></span> <br />
<br />
He has received two Golden Globe awards and an Academy Award, and many other nominations and awards for acting, but perhaps the most prestigious awards have been those pertaining to his political stance in defence of those who don‘t have a voice - He was presented with the Summit Peace Award, and he’s also been nominated a UN messenger of peace.<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">He has used his success and connections in the movie industry for social activism</span></strong><br />
<br />
He's been instrumental in raising awareness to the Darfur conflict, which has seen thousands and thousands of people being prosecuted and killed in one of the longer lasting conflicts in history.<br />
<br />
George has also spoken against the Iraq war, alerting political leaders to the fact that we cannot fight a war with war, and that every war we fight we are creating a new generation of people seeking revenge.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>George’s homoeopathic profile is Bismuth </strong></span><br />
<br />
This mineral is part of the gold series of the periodic table: the entire series carries an aura of power and kingship to some extent. Aurum being the recognised supreme king. Bismuth, which is stage 15 typifies the aftermath. One has been king, but has lost his kingdom, there is a choice of either trying to cling on to power in a vain attempt to resist the unavoidable or surrender gracefully.<br />
<br />
Bismuth is also one of the remedies where suicide is most prevalent. All the gold series has a theme of depression relating to power- desire to attain it, abuse of power, or loss of power depending which stage in the periodic table they appear. All of these can be motivations for suicide.<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">In Bismuth, there is the realisation that power without strong social and moral values is hollow. </span></strong><br />
<br />
<br />
In Bismuth there is a strong dichotomy between idealism and cynicism: the person knows that if power is used to oppress others will not last, and true strength comes from empowering others and giving them a voice. They can sometimes feel powerless towards social injustice and even resort to suicide as a last resort to keep some control over their existence and the way they chose to live or die.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>There is also humour expressed as irony in Bismuth, with subjects seeing themselves with enough detachment to be able to laugh. </strong></span><br />
<br />
Clooney has displayed this quirky side in many occasions both by making ironic comments about his political opponents, and also when lampooned in several programmes including South Park series - even saying he would have been offended if the program didn't make fun of him!<br />
<br />
<br />
At a physical level, Bismuth is one of the remedies for facial paralysis and Bell’s palsy.<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">With Bismuth everything happens suddenly, life and death have a blurred boundary: Clooney has had a few near miss death experiences and sudden accidents </span></strong><br />
<br />
The one most publicised was the motorcycle accident in 2007. His stay in hospital attracted enormous publicity when dozens of hospital staff abused their position of trust by looking at his medical records.<br />
<br />
<br />
Bismuth people are private, they don’t like to have their personal details exposed, and yet in a genuine display of sympathy to the hospital personnel, Clooney requested that no one should be punished over the incident: that is the whole mark of a true king - the power to be magnanimous!<br />

<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vxAL_0Cdd5I/UGG5j0NEtAI/AAAAAAAAALw/5Txc7EuPYqQ/s1600/lady%2Bgaga.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vxAL_0Cdd5I/UGG5j0NEtAI/AAAAAAAAALw/5Txc7EuPYqQ/s320/lady%2Bgaga.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong></strong></span><br /></div>
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>Lady Gaga is a singer with millions of adoring fans whom she calls “her little monsters”.</strong></span> <br />
<br />
She seems to be on a category of her own, both her musical style and her fashion sense are quite unique. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>During her still short but meteoric career we have been treated to a kaleidoscope of ever changing successions of Gagas </strong></span><br />
<br />
We could be forgiven for thinking that we are in the face of several different women impersonating this eccentric character rather than just one re-inventing herself at a fulminating rate. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>There have been rumours of mental illness, rumours of an auto-immune disease, namely Lupus. </strong></span><br />
<br />
Lady Gaga herself has done little to dispel any of these rumours: she’s not confirmed them nor dismissed them, she much rather ignore any critical voices and concentrate or her artistic career and her fan base. <br />
<br />
To her fans, and her friends she has plenty of time. She replies personally to some; there was recently a poignant message of support to a fan being bullied… yes Lady Gaga knows what that feels like. She has been there herself, but overcome this to rise to success!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>On a song that made her famous, “Bad Romance” she talks about unconditional love. </strong></span><br />
<br />
She expresses very intense feelings, and not wanting to be just friends but wanting a relationship with all that involves: the good, the bad, and the uggly!<br />
<br />
She is definitely intense… on an a recent interview she opened up about the string of unfulfilled romantic relationships she has had – she hasn’t been accepted for who she is, some lovers have been envious of her creativity and her success… love has been disappointing! <br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>Her homeopathic profile is Phosphoric Acid. </strong></span><br />
<br />
This remedy combines a certain freshness and creativity of the group of Acid remedies with the characteristics of Phosphorus. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>Phosphorus is about all or nothing as far as love is concerned. It is about communication with fellow humans at all levels. </strong></span><br />
<br />
A typical phosphoric personality has many social connections. Easy to relate to others, they have close friends, and acquaintances with whose they also enjoy keeping in touch. <br />
<br />
They have many virtual friends on Facebook, Twitter, and any other social network they decide to join… in fact social networking sites owe their success to Phosphoric people who require constant communication with a wide circle of friends and acquaintances and the marketing people, who take advantage of this lively interactive group of people, in order to promote their products.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>Phosphorus people are also the Goths, and the vampire movie lovers.</strong></span> <br />
<br />
Physically they tend to be very pale, to have a weak spleen, and a tendency to bleed easily. <br />
<br />
Psychologically they have great empathy, and they can easily feel the emotional suffering of others and take it as their own. They are idealists, and they can easily get confused in between a friendship and love relationship. <br />
<br />
They assume that the other person is on the same wave length and that there is no need to talk – communication happens at an emotional level rather than at the intellectual level. They can then be greatly disappointed once they realise that their partner doesn’t share their views and ideals, leaving them feeling misunderstood and betrayed at a very deep and emotional level. <br />
<br />
On the other hand If they feel they have much in common with the other person and there is an easy communication going on between them, they are very willing to take the relationship into the sexual level. For this reason it is easy for them to be bi-sexual, as often there is a closer bond and empathy between people of the same sex. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>The Phosphoric Acid state is the result with the Phosphorus patient being brought to this state of emotional exhaustion by disappointed love. </strong></span><br />
<br />
People in this remedy profile become exhausted from giving themselves to others and they are no longer able to communicate. As they get more tired they shut down physically and emotionally. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong>If Phosphorus is the “party” state, Phosphoric Acid is the “after-party”, it is the match that has fizzled out, the sparkling drink that has lost its bubbles.</strong></span> <br />
<br />
But just like other the remedies in the acid group, it does it with style… it has a dry sense humour, it has enough creativity to fascinate others, it has a different take and a new perspective on life, that others cannot easily grasp… <br />
<br />
Phosphoric Acid like Phosphorus still has a lot to give, but needs to communicate from a safe distance, without too much pressure and demand from too close a circle of either family relations or friends… <span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><strong> sometimes it is easier to be friendly in the digital world!</strong></span><br />
