Information

Substance information

Prepared from exposure to concentrated X-rays. Potentised energy form, not a material substance. Developed to address radiation damage and energetic imbalances related to suppressed vitality.

Proving

Proved by William B. Griggs and others; symptoms collected through provers exposed to X-ray exposure and potentised energy. Clinical symptoms confirmed by Clarke and Kent.

Essence

X-ray addresses the energetic fragmentation and disintegration of the vital force caused by excessive exposure to radiation, technology, or suppression. At its core is a loss of coherence—the individual becomes disoriented, physically depleted, and emotionally severed from their inner vitality. It is especially relevant in the modern era, where overstimulation and artificial radiation disrupt natural rhythms. This remedy supports restoration of rhythm, detoxification, and reintegration of the self, particularly after deep suppression or environmental insult.

Affinity

  • Blood and bone marrow – anemia, leukaemia, blood dyscrasias
  • Glands – especially ovaries, testes, thyroid, and breasts
  • Skin – radiodermatitis, eczema, ulcers
  • Genitals – sexual dysfunction, sterility
  • Nervous system – hyperaesthesia, neuralgia, radiation-induced damage
  • Bones – decalcification, necrosis, pain
  • DNA/cellular metabolism – destructive degenerative patterns
  • Left ovary – prominent focus
  • Spinal cord – radiation myelitis, burning spine sensation
  • Energetic field – disruption, fragmentation, “vital force disconnection

Modalities

Better for

  • Open air
  • Gentle motion
  • Uncovering head
  • Discharges (esp. skin eruptions)
  • Regularity and rhythm
  • Detoxifying measures

Worse for

  • X-ray or radiation exposure (including diagnostic)
  • Suppression of eruptions or menses

Symptoms

Mind

Marked by profound confusion, disorganisation, and sense of detachment. Mental dullness or clouded memory. Loss of identity, feeling fragmented or energetically disconnected—“as if my soul is outside my body.” Difficulty concentrating, especially after exposure to electronics or radiation. Mood swings from irritability to apathy. Profound depression alternating with unusual creative insight. Feels as if under external influence or control. Loss of will. Aversion to company yet unable to be alone. Dreams are intense, surreal, and often disturbing. Overwhelmed by crowds or technology.

Sleep

Insomnia with buzzing in head or body. Feels unrefreshed. Waking at 2–3 a.m. with heat or mental unrest. Sleep broken by shocks or surges. Sensitive to EMFs during sleep. Vivid dreams of being dissected or electrified.

Dreams

Dreams of fire, energy, or being burned. Disconnection from self. Futuristic or dystopian images. Nightmares of mechanical imprisonment. Dream of electric shocks or floating in void.

Generalities

Profound systemic exhaustion, especially after radiation, medical imaging, or EMF exposure. Burning sensations, < touch. Destructive tendency at all levels—tissue breakdown, nerve degeneration, bone loss. Feelings of being “split,” “disconnected,” or “dispersed.” Suits modern hypersensitivities: electrosensitivity, technology-induced syndromes, radiation illness. Vital force feels disturbed or misaligned.

Fever

Intermittent, low-grade. Flushes of heat alternating with chills. Febrile episodes linked with fatigue or glandular swellings. Night sweats with anxiety.

Chill / Heat / Sweat

Cold chills along spine or limbs. Sudden flushes, especially after emotion. Perspiration mostly at night. Cold sweat on face and forehead. Heat in hands or chest.

Head

Sensation of pressure inside skull, especially forehead and vertex. Burning or aching pains from occiput to nape. Hair loss in patches (alopecia), particularly after radiation exposure. Scalp itching, crawling sensation. Feeling of light flashing or buzzing in head. Vertigo with nausea. Pressure at temples with heaviness of eyes. Face pale, expression dulled.

Eyes

Blurred vision, photophobia, especially after X-ray exposure. Burning and dryness of eyes. Sensation as if eyes were swollen. Floaters, flashes of light. Visual hallucinations. Pain behind eyes, worse from light. Eyes sensitive to screen use and EMF exposure.

Ears

Buzzing, ringing, or high-pitched humming in ears. Hearing diminished. Pain deep in auditory canal. Oversensitive to noise—sudden sounds produce shocks. Ears feel plugged or throbbing. Vertigo associated with inner ear disturbance.

Nose

Dryness of nasal mucosa. Nosebleeds with little provocation. Sinus congestion, unrelieved by blowing nose. Discharges scanty, acrid. Loss of smell. Coryza worse in damp weather.

Face

Flushes of heat followed by pallor. Dry skin, sometimes peeling or discoloured. Facial bones feel sore. Acne or eruptions on cheeks and forehead. Cracks at corners of mouth. Face shows premature ageing.

Mouth

Dry mouth and cracked lips. Tongue coated white or yellow. Burning in mouth and throat. Metallic taste. Ulcers in buccal mucosa. Increased thirst for cold drinks. Bitter taste on waking. Aphthae in radiation-affected patients.

Teeth

Looseness of teeth. Toothache with facial neuralgia. Teeth feel elongated. Sensitive to pressure and cold drinks. Gums bleed easily. Bone resorption or erosion in jaw (after radiation therapy).

Throat

Dryness and rawness in pharynx. Voice hoarse or weak. Feeling of constriction or tight band. Swallowing painful, as if muscles stiff. Ulceration from radiation damage. Mucus adherent, difficult to clear.

Chest

Constriction in chest, especially left side. Palpitations, worse from motion. Short breath. Dry, hacking cough. Sensation of radiation or heat moving through chest. Breasts painful, especially premenstrually. Dull pain in sternum.

Heart
