It has been pointed out to me that my recent posts on the thorny subject of Donald Trump have angered many of his devoted fans. I am so sorry! Now that Trump is (almost) history, these poor, disappointed people need our help; they urgently need some effective anger management before they start firing those weapons they have been amassing.
This is why, in the spirit of building bridges and in the interest of peace, I have made an effort and put together a list of so-called alternative medicines (SCAMs) that might be useful.
Various pharmaceutical medications are available for treating anxiety, stress and anger problems:
Anxiolytics e.g. Alprazolam, Diazepam,
Antidepressants e.g. Paroxetine, Fluoxetine,
Antipsychotics e.g. Paliperidone, Risperidone,
Mood regulators e.g. Lithium, Valproate.
Oh, sorry! I have angered you again! I forgot, you are SCAM only. Let me have a look into my own book and find something that works for your problems.
ANXIETY
- Massage
- Music therapy
- Various relaxation techniques
DEPRESSION
- St John’s wort
Yes, these are the only SCAMs that are listed as being supported by sound evidence.
What, you say, you care a f**k about evidence? Of course, I should have known!
But my book offers nothing for delusional disorders, sorry.
Not good enough, you say? Alright, alright, keep your gun where it is. I better look elsewhere.
Found something. Thanks heavens for homeopathy! One can always rely on homeopaths to offer help, and they certainly know a thing or two about delusions! One website has this long list of remedies for delusional disorders:
Stramonium
Vision of animals, black dogs etc. (It also cured pneumonia on these symptoms). Thinks himself double, tall and a part missing and objects around him small. Cannot bear solitude and darkness; must have light and company. Sees ghosts, hears voices and talks with spirits. Feeling as if a long trail of bedbugs is pursuing her, and after them a procession of beetles and then comes crawling over her a host of cockroaches. Sees horrifying images at his side than in front of him. Sings amorous songs and utters obscene speeches. Hallucination and delirium. Attempts to stab and bite. Calls things by wrong names, his boots the logs of wood; his bedroom the stable. Has communication from God, delivers sermons, prophecies.
Lactuca Virosa
As if swimming in the air or walking above the ground.
Chloralum
Night terrors. Sees visions of arches. Hears voices when in the dark or when eyes are shut.
Lac Can
Delusions about snakes. Imagines he is surrounded by them. Afraid of closing the eyes for fear of being bitten by a snake. Feels to be walking in air. Tormenting thoughts. No reality in things; thinks that everything she says is a lie; she is not herself; her properties not her own; wears someone else’s nose.
Sabadilla
Erroneous impressions as to the state of her body e.g. that she is pregnant when she is merely swollen with flatus.
Platinum
Pride or over-estimate of one-self. Thinks she is superior to all others. Thinks her body is longer than those of others. Arrogant and haughty.
Camphor
Everything that moves is a ghost and inanimate things in the room become alive and terrify him. Extreme nervousness. Fear of strangers and of the dark.
Calcarea Carb
Sees and talks to persons who are not present. Imagines as if she is surrounded by dogs. Aversion to do any business. She is sad and melancholy. Full of fear, weary of life.
Ailanthus
Feels as if a rat or something small is crawling up the limb and over the body.
Anacardium
The patient finds himself to be between good and evil will. His external will wants him to do something evil, but his internal will stops him from doing this.
Indecisive
One moment he thinks it is so and the next moment has enough reason left that it is not so. Low spirited, disheartened, fears he is pursued by someone; looks for thieves, expects enemies, fears everything and everybody. He is pursuaded by his evil will to do acts of violence and injustice, but is withheld and restrained by his good will. (See also Hyosc, Bell., and Stram.) Hears voices of sister and mother who are far away.
Helleborus Nig
Stupefaction and sluggishness of the body and mind. Stupor from which he can be aroused with” difficulty and when so aroused he will talk about spirits or say that he sees devils with horns and tails. Hallucination.

Thuja
Sensation as though a living child were in the abdomen. Feels body thin and delicate, frail, easily breakable as if made of glass.
Cannabis Ind
Errors of perception as to space and as to time. The patient feels as if he had not taken any food for the last six months, although he had just finished his meals. A mile distance looks as if it were a hundred miles. Mind is full of unfinished ideas. Delusion of rhinoceros and elephants following him up. Imagines he hears sweet music, shuts his eyes and is lost in most delicious thoughts and dreams. Imagines someone calling him. Imagines as if he exists without form throughout a vast extent of space. His body seems to expand and the arch of his skull to be broader than the vault of heaven. All seem unreal. Feels himself unreal. All impressions extremely exaggerated. Hears voices and most sublime music; sees vision of beauty and glory, only to be equalled in paradise.

Did you find something that fits?
No?
Then let me help you: Pride or over-estimate of one-self. Thinks she is superior to all others. Arrogant and haughty. Yes, that must be for you; PLATINUM it is!!!
Hope you get better soon.
And, if I may, I suggest PYROGENIUM for your idol.

PS
A personal note: during the last 4 years, I have turned down all invitations for lectures in the US and argued that I do not travel to counties with fascistoid leaders. Once the pandemic is under control, I’d be happy to reconsider.
Where were you four years ago when Democrats were wailing at the sky?
My non critical thinking process lead me to conclude that Edzard in Nov 2016 was in a state of Cicuta virosa following Trumps win.
can’t remember suffering from any of the following:
Cicuta v. is one of the most active of the poisonous Umbelliferæ.
Its chief influence is excited on the medulla oblongata, the gastro-intestinal tract, and the skin.
Twitching and spasmodic jerks are a keynote of Cicuta. “Bending the head backward” is very characteristic.
The remedy has cured many cases of cerebrospinal meningitis, the opisthotonos being the leading indication.
Violence is a leading feature: violent spasms, moans and howls, great agitation, makes gesticulations, odd motions, strange desires, as to eat coal.
“Head turned or twisted to one side” is no less indicative of the drug in convulsions of children or adults.
(See cases referred to below.) It corresponds to falls and the effects of concussions.
Utter prostration follows the convulsive attacks, sudden rigidity, then jerks and violent distortions, then prostration.
“Jerking of the left arm all day” is a very characteristic symptom.
You should know if you studied homeopathy that NOT having a symptom of a remedy doesnt rule the remedy out. A remedy is possibly indicated if a significant selection of your symptoms are found in the Materia Medica of the remedy. Tell us your symptoms so we can choose a remedy for you. Are you suffering from Trump-derangement syndrome?
Ernst, old fellow,
I think the remedy they seek is with the Court process. Which is big, very big.
However – I would expect you to agree – Alternative Dispute Resolution probably wouldn’t quite hack it.

“PS

I sincerely doubt you could ever even draw an audience as big as Joe Biden, which was running at about 50 people per event prior to the election.
That said, don’t expect that anything much will change much among the people….just because the prez might be heading out.
But, your welcome to give it a try. Be sure to let me know just when, so I can be in attendance …. heckling you and your CONmedicine.
you are an embarrassment
And then there are all the remedies for anger management that those suffering from Trump-derangement syndrome might use including: Nux-v, Aconite, Cham., Staphisagria, Opium, Aurum, Platina.
Better stock up now. You will also need them to “Biden” your time over the next four years. Biden is going to lock USA down and mask USA up whether needed or not, while he carries out the military-medical-industrial agenda.
what I do not understand amist all your verbal diarrhoea is why you insist to show us your ignorance over and over again.
Honestly, I suspect Roger would be better served by a psych hold than by homeopathy. There’s just something not right in the wiring there. (Of course, it is a self-selecting market.)
