To quote Dr. Masimund Panos: "use what you got."

As to time interval:
Take a dose. Do NOT repeat as long as symptoms are getting better.
Repeat if symptoms return. (this is for acute cases).

Heck; I'd say that for chronic cases as well. In fact, I'd be more
likely to repeat a weak dose like a 30c for an acute situation two,
three, or more times UNTIL there is resolution of symptoms. But I'd
surely handle chronic disease as you state, and I prefer LM potencies
because, among other things, of the great flexibility to follow the
symptoms closely and redose in a timely fashion as necessary.

But as regards chronic situations, anyone who has to ask basic questions
(and in fact anyone without appropriate depth of training and *also*
supervision) should most definitely not be trying to treat any chronic
situation. There's just too much opportunity for mis-reading what's
happening and proceeding in a way that could even cause harm.

Homeopathy is a beautifully user-friendly healing art, but has to be used
appropriately, or can do harm. Self-limiting conditions (non-emergency) are
quite safe and effective for a beginner to self-treat, but chronic
conditions aren't.

Best wishes,

As an open question I would like to have answered is to know what sort of
acutes people are referring to when they encourage beginners to prescribe on
them. In my opinion they can be even more difficult to treat because you
sometimes have to think on your feet, your repping has to be spot on, you
usually have to work quickly - there is no time to really ponder like you
can with a chronic condition, remedy choice and potency has to be accurate,
you have to know what is and what isn't an emergency condition, you have to
know anatomy and pathology well and often you really have to be there for
the client, etc etc.

Even a straightforward case of chicken pox can be messed up with over
prescribing or repetition of wrong potency.

And if the so called acute is that mild it probably doesn't need a remedy
anyway.

I think it is very important that training includes a big emphasis on
treating and supervising acute conditions and I really cannot see the
difference between prescribing on acutes as opposed to chronic conditions.

Well, we had this discussion already several times. Check the book of Jahr
and several others, including the "timing" of remedies, lenght of action.
There are very fast, fast, medium and long range acting remedies.

Like epistaxis, eventually repetitive, in a child - Ph. Good start for a
beginner.
Or Camphor in severe gastroenteritis with massive, frequent, watery,
diarrhoes and great weakness. Etc.

I would never encourage beginners to treat such conditions - how many
haemorrhagic remedies are there, how many for gastroenteritis? What happened
to individualisation? Not quite the answer I was looking for.

Dear Joy,
Dr. Bucur wrote:

you said:

My opinion:

Beginners in homoeopathy should never treat conditions (be they acute or
chronic) where an aggravation could cause severe problems: such as
asthmatic conditions, bleeding disorders and others.
When dealing with an acute situation they should only try to treat if a
remedy they had already learnt clearly comes to mind - or if there's
just the need to differentiate between 2 remedies.

Acute situations with a clear causation are often easier to prescribe
upon:
some sorts of trauma, burns, or acute situations following a causation
like: having get wet and cold, or after a visit to the seaside, or from
drinking large quantities of cold water after being heated, or from
sun-stroke ...etc.

Beginners should know their tools well before trying to use them. And
the clear cut rubrics as causations will make it easier.

Without a cleas causation there will be more need to identify the REAL
characteristic symptoms which even in an acute case are not always lying
clear before the eyes.

Best,

Gaby
