Juncus effusus

Year 2025, Issue 1, Article 5CaseAuthor: Jonathan Stallick
Man, 58, High powered businessman.His wife describes him as:
Alpha male, high achieving/successful, always been in control and controlling in a passive aggressive sort of way. Very little empathy or ability to show emotion.
Never looked at himself on a deep or emotional level. 2 recent griefs, unable to process one massive one or acknowledge the other. NBWS father died suddenly around 15 years ago.
When I see the guy he laughs a lot and is VERY LOQUACIOUS and talks very fast. But one gets impression it’s all words with no emotion.
He says his wife had an outburst and told him he doesn’t listen. Family and friends feel the same way.
“I’ve committed to her to do what I can to alter my behaviour”. Known each other 30 years.
I’m a very strong person. I’m a natural salesman, can hold a room of a thousand people.
I can chat to anyone. People find me inspirational. Full of energy, full of ideas. Lot of mentoring and coaching people. BUSINESS. Good at telling jokes. Incredibly positive personality.
I’ve bought and sold lots of business. Fast moving corporate world.
I have a clear vision, where we’re going.
CONTROL FREAK- I like to be in control. I HATE BEING TOLD WHAT TO DO. Move in a quick and fast way.
People say you’ve got to slow down.
People don’t work at my pace.
I take great pleasure in being different.
PUSH PUSH PUSH- LIKE TO CHALLENGE ME AND PEOPLE AROUND ME.
Likes to preconceived limitations- No such word as can’t
I lost my business partner (Liz) this year, been together 32 years- I cried a lot- I get emotional about things-
Father died 15 years ago.
HUGE FEAR OF SPLITTING UP WITH WIFE. I learn from her. I want to be in her head. Looks so lovely- warm thoughts.
I’m BULLET PROOF and BOMB PROOF.I was sent away to boarding school as a child. Being away at school. If I’d had a shit day I’d have to be TOUGH.

◦ Described as the first experience of feeling completely out of control, which was very frightening.
Sweats a lot: chest, axillae, back. Offensive.Has abdominal bloating since antibiotics.
Had Covid vaccination in March 2021.
AnalysisThis man exhibited signs of huge pressure. He is very controlling; clearly very talented business man and inspirational speaker but had felt alienated from his family and others on a personal level. He seemed very stage 6; forceful but anxious underneath.
Prescription: URANIUM MET 1M (“Bullet & Bomb proof”).
Follow up4 weeks later: He booked into a Thai retreat centre where he changed his diet radically, read spiritual books. Says he feels different , calmer, but still was very loquacious.
DISJOINTED FROM MY FAMILY.
DIFFERENT WORLD from family.
DISJOINTED- I live in very HIGH PRESSURE world- 600 people – I make decisions that change people’s life. My world is pretty chaotic – I’m happy doing this.
Busy, busy, busy.
I’m trying to come back into room, to SLOW DOWN.
FAST FAST FAST, I see things they don’t see- my son says “Dad calm down”.
AnalysisThere’s a wound around his marriage: Plant!
Relationships, Silicon series: 3-633.
In a family but completely disjointed, outside the family and is in grief about it: 3-633.41.00.
Smooth shiny fast talking: 3-633.41.06.
Prescription: JUNCUS EFFUSUS (and he is VERY effusive!) 200 one weekly.
Follow up4 weeks later: “I feel a lot calmer”. (He seems VERY DIFFERENT! Genuinely calmer).
My family have all noticed I’m more present. He is happy with his family now, not feeling like an outsider.
Not sweating as much.
Bloating still there.
Had a cold sore which receded on its own.
DiscussionI have given him some other remedies like Thuja occidentalis, Lycopodium clavatum, Morgan and Sulphur but the Juncus effusus has definitely been the best. I am thinking he might need a fungus like Agaricus in future.
