When I was a child, salmon was an expensive delicacy. Today, farmed salmon is served as a cheap lunch in every snack bar. But the price is high, and the fish suffer horrendous diseases in their confinement. Salmon are free and noble fishes that were never meant to live in overcrowded cages, deprived of their life’s mission. The proving of Oncorhynchus tshawytscha, the Pacific Chinook salmon, was a profound experience for all involved. The week we began the Salmon proving, I was invited to lecture in Jerusalem. For me, this was a call home. Of the provers, an infertile couple conceived, relationships formed and broke up, new cycles began, and old ended. The class continued to meet for many years, diligently working on the proving.
This remedy has proved to be extremely useful in a wide range of ailments. It has generated more interest than any other remedy I have proved (bar Chocolate). I know of quite a few babies who have been midwifed into this world by the Salmon remedy. Salmon, as a fish, is also a symbol of knowledge. It is good to have its wisdom in our materia medica.
