Abstract

Lac suillinum, pig’s milk, has a most peculiar vertigo of ‘falling backwards like a plank’ and I’ve found it to be the PQRS in several cases. So, having had such a fall can be an important part of the history of the patient. It is well-known that pigs, as they enter the slaughter house, get very agitated as if they have a sense that something ‘not nice’ is going to happen. This sense of unease (often accompanied by tumultuous palpitations) can also be part  of the Lac-suis case. They can feel alone or alienated.

Interestingly, the protein content of pig’s milk is relatively high (almost 6% compared to 1% for human milk). So, the breakdown of the casein  component induces a relative euphoric state due to the influx of caso-morphine into the system, which corresponds to one of the Themes: Drug-like  state. So, Lac suillinum delusions, such as: soft, cloud-like feeling; space, surrounded by, as if; spatial feeling of eternity; floating and dreamy sensation can  be a key part of the mental state of the patient who may search for such sensations in meditation.

Lac suillinum patients have a dislike of pork or report an aggravation from its consumption. In females there may also be a history of Peripartal Pelvic Pain Syndrome (Symphysiolysis) which is very prevalent in pigs.
