“Projection of mammal milk into the situation of the mammal: homo sapiens. Every proving and every Lac remedy given to a patient will give/cure symptoms of the mammal Lac, which will be translations of the mammal’s original situation and survival pattern, shaded and adapted to the human situation. Man is domesticated (civilised) herd animal and its Lacs will have themes from herds and domesticated animals. The position of Lac humanum or maternum will be, in man, a very CENTRAL ONE and always complementary to any other Lac prescribed in a human being.” *) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
