Summary
Wondering about the toxicity of plastics, cling-film was chosen in 1997 for preparation
as a homeopathic remedy. It was the PVC type of plastic wrap common at the time. (Wraps
containing PVC are still in use in the UK and elsewhere.) The proving in 2004 and
cases since give rise to a developing Materia Medica and a cluster of related remedies.
There are brief accounts of patients' experiences (in their own words) before and
after taking the remedy, and some thoughts on the nature and possible influence of
plastics. Then a suggestion that Princess Diana's life situation and personal issues provide an example of the remedy picture.
Key words
