antidoting - correction

[Tamara Der-Ohanian]

What I meant to say is what is the quickest way of minimizing the
aggravation caused by a given (correct) remedy - via a lower dose of the
same remedy or the antidote remedy? Tamara

In my experience, the lower dose of the same remedy works very well. I've also had excellent results when a remedy has a clear antidote from another remedy (for instance, in the list in the back of Kent's Repertory) using the antidote remedy in a low potency -- if you need to modulate the aggravation quickly, whichever remedy/ potency is most quickly available should work.

I'm not sure if my different experience is just a matter of terminology, or
something else... In my experience (only one case, but worked according to
what I'd been taught to expect), giving a lower potency of the (correct)
remedy that was aggravating (too high potency, in retrospect), did *not*
antidote the remedy, but rather moderated its over-action; but its curative
action continued on for months afterwards!

Specifically: I'd given psor 200 to someone with pretty bad asthma and
other issues. He felt *terrific* after the dose, except the (not so minor)
problem that his asthma had flared rather badly. He used psor 12c "as
needed", which came to roughly once per day, during the couple of weeks that
the aggravation lasted. After that point the action of the psor 200c dose
continued strongly but smoothly, bringing on improvement at all levels which
continued for quite a few months afterwards. So I think the role of the
lower potency is not to "antidote", but rather to "moderate the overaction".

Rosemary, have you used a lower potency to actually *antidote* a remedy, or
were you talking about situations similar to mine?

No, it didn't totally antidote the remedy -- it smoothed out the unpleasant symptoms. Either strategy has done that for me, without actually stopping the curative action of the remedy. Rosemary

How do you know it was the single dose of the 200 that continued the
curative action , could it not have been the 12c once a day for two
weeks?

I guess all I can say is it did not seem that way because:
- The action began with the 200, and 12c was begun only with an eye toward
moderating the aggravation; which it did--not perfectly, but adequately.
The 12c seemed to act as a mild "brake" while his body caught up with the
remedy.
- He stopped the 12c's once his aggravation symptoms decreased enough, and
from that point improvement at all levels progressed over a period of many
months. I have never *seen* a 12c (or even 12c daily for a couple of weeks)
produce a months-long curative action. I'm not saying it's *impossible*,
just that I have and had no reason to think that would have been the case
here.

Why do you ask?
