You know all those 2.7 million Chevy cars that have to be recalled? As a homeopath, could have told you that Cobalt is an unfortunate name for a car: the word derives from a German word, Kobold meaning “evil sprite,” reflecting the undesirability of the metal that had been discovered. The homeopathic remedy made from Cobalt heals individuals who feel like they are guilty of a notorious crime and that their sinful act is public. Exactly the fate that befell GM after news of the company’s faulty ignition system could no longer be suppressed and became widely known.
