NICCOLUM METALLICUM – nickel
Niccolum is in the periodic group 10, along with Palladium and Platinum – 2 remedies that are forever searching for their faultless ideals in life,
mainly through ego and self image and as Niccolum is above both of these remedies in group 10 it is an indication of a somewhat lighter approach within the same diseased state.
Nickel is found in meteorites and it takes on a high polish (aiming to look good and perfect maybe), it is hard but also malleable and can be trans-
formed into foil, powder, flakes, wire, mesh and rods. But this adaptation leads to confusion and suppression and the ultimate result is rendered as
something plastic and mechanical.
However, as the diseased state progresses and they can no longer sustain a malleable containment, an intensity of negative emotions emerges – anxiety; fear; irritability; impatience; argumentative; unkind; spiteful; malicious; vindictive; cruel to the point of being brutal. There will be some
anguish and sadness en route but this too is easily acquiesced. This picture kind of reminds you of a damaged person who has gone way beyond
the plastic compliance that society expects or imposes, i.e. that which suppresses real and conscious feelings into something much more unacceptable. The end result is something quite monstrous if allowed to go full term and without interception of healing.
Often though, if this person is a child they will appear to escape into premature adulthood, becoming serious, knowledgeable and quite sophisticated.
All emotions are controlled (suppressed) – reaching for higher, safer, ground just like Platina and Palladium. This early suppression is highly damaging and eventually could dissipate into cruelty.
Nickel is also a trace element and thus has some relevance within our dietary needs. It lodges in the liver and the pancreas – 2 organs that are ex-
tremely busy and productive. Liver disturbance often gives rise to much irritability and rage, and pancreatic dysfunction (which centres mainly on
digestive disorders) will have a range of lethargy, restlessness and emaciation.
The action of Nickel within our bodies is similar to that of Cobalt (the vital Vitamin B12 has 4% cobalt). There is a vast range of pathology that
could emanate from any abnormality within either of these 2 organs.
Our materia medicas also make a connection between Cobalt and Nickel. Nickel received its name (devil) from miners who considered it to be
‘false ore’ and Cobalt was named “german silver’ a belittling name for a substance making pretentious claims.
The main delusional fear of Niccolum is that something evil will happen – most of the time it already has happened and this will be the damage
done. Responses might become mechanical because any conscious effort will result in this fear of deviating from the straight line. Thus – very angry from the least contradiction; trembling and fear with desire for soli-tude; anxiety on moving as if sweat will break out; cannot relate to the
conversation.
So, you have someone who is walking a fine line, someone who wants to be highly polished but the fear of something evil happening, prevents this.
The strangest sensation that encases this is ‘sensation as if brain were cut to pieces’ and ‘sensation as if a nail were sticking in the head’. To accompany this there is a physical cracking in the cervical vertebrae when moving the head – they are not able to see the larger picture from all sides.
However they are not static people. There is great restlessness that results in debility. This evolves out of not only a need to be rid of this confusing state but also out of a chemical reaction that is going on in the body, primarily originating from the digestion and the role the Nickel plays in this – many of the symptoms within the picture of Niccolum derive from a dysfunction at this level as well as those that are happening within the
emotional sphere. It brings us back to the 2 main organs – the liver and pancreas.
Keynotes include:-
Most symptoms are >>> after eating
Restlessness with vomiting
Abdominal pains go from left to right (passing through the pancreas to the liver?)
Periodicity is marked
Colic associated with menses
Risings from the stomach taste like roasted meat
Violent thirst (pre-disposition to diabetes?)
Increased secretion of urine
Migraines with vomiting of bile
Accumulation of sweet saliva
Offensive breath
Nasal catarrh and stoppage (congestion due to digestive cause?)
Constipation with very hard stool
Yellow diarrhoea with much flatulence
Skin itching all over not >> scratching (bile secretion?)
Sleepless from midnight to 4 am with agitation (agitated digestion?)
Stomach feels empty without desire for food
Intense hiccoughs (the cause is associated with liver disorders and pancreatic diseases)
Decaying teeth and gums that emit a foul odour
Serious physical pathology can develop in the liver and pancreas and many of the above are suggestive of the beginnings of Diabetes but it is
the emotional pathology, born from the liver, which creates the fear that something evil will happen, as though it is compulsory, as though a necessary act of inhumanity has to be committed. The polish has worn off and the real cruelty is witnessed in the final act of the unkindness that belong to Niccolum.
