Aids-Nosode, Nosode (Aids.)

Aids nosode, nosode (Aids.) appears in the repertory in 338 rubrics. Of these, 67 are single-remedy rubrics in which only this remedy is listed, and 31 are small rubrics with at most two other remedies. The emphasis is clearly on Delusions, followed by Company, Oneness, Naked, Irritability, and Forgetful. The picture is that of a person who feels unprotected and exposed, and at the same time longs for merging, naturalness, and an unbroken exchange with others.

Delusions as the core

The delusions carry the remedy: they make up the largest share of the specific rubrics and also contain most of the single-remedy rubrics. Images of growing, transformation, and bursting open predominate. Listed are bubbles and seed pods bursting open, bubbles rising to the surface, flowers emerging from bursting seed pods, as well as fluffy clouds and the wish to be a cloud oneself. The person grows "slowly and dreamily" and believes that he is being transformed spiritually. Everything is changed and would grow and transform. The brain is affected as well: it is experienced as a knot on the left side or as something that would rearrange itself.

Loss of protection and exposure

Opposed to the motif of growth is the feeling of being stripped bare. The rubrics record that the person believes he has lost his shell, his covering, and his protection; a single-remedy rubric adds being naked, "unprotected and exposed." Related are the feeling of being helpless like a baby in a crib, the feeling of being a vulnerable child, and the idea that a boat will sink. To this belong weeping when thinking of babies, dwelling in thought on one's own childhood, and the worry that someone standing behind one might push one off a high place. The suspicion extends to the idea that others are making plans to kill the person, and to the delusion that everything one touches is contaminated.

Naturalness and nakedness

As a counter-movement to exposure, a longing for what is natural emerges. The remedy wants to be naked because it is natural, when riding and when swimming in the sea, and it feels confident being naked, exploring things, and behaving naturally. Everything feels natural, everything is soft and clean, the world is orderly and perfect. The person sees himself as belonging to a tribe of natives, and the rubric on the house that is larger and wants to be explored leads to the delusion that life is too short, like a house that is too big, in which one must explore every room.

Merging and contentment

A third emphasis is oneness. Only this remedy is listed for the feeling of being one with the family and with the life partner; the small rubric adds oneness with the universe. Added to this are contentment with an uninterrupted flow between oneself and the group or the life partner, and contentment with the world. Love is exuberant, up to overflowing love for humanity. One single-remedy rubric describes serenity, centered in oneself and connected to the ground, another the delusion that one's feet have been driven into the ground.

Alternations and breaks

Alongside this breadth stand changes of mood: company is alternately sought and rejected, sociability alternates with seriousness, hopefulness with weeping, sullenness with elation, irritability with discouragement. The irritability is also directed at inanimate objects. There is the delusion of falling into a rage at the slightest provocation, the desire to kill everyone one sees, and the idea of dissolving. Added to these are forgetfulness that forgets everything at once, and incorrect dress.

Summary

The picture of the Aids nosode joins two poles: the defenselessness and exposure of a naked, childlike person, and the longing for naturalness, merging, and an undisturbed flow toward the other. Between them lie images of transformation and growth, changing moods, and an occasional irritability. The numerous single-remedy rubrics among the delusions make this connection the distinguishing feature of the remedy. No king-pin symptom is indicated in the available data.
