I seriously doubt that anyone would want to discuss Roger Dyson's method on this list. I have read
his book
He uses, and presumably in his mind successfully, a method that would cause meltdown for some
members on this list
I am only a messanger here I might add.
Here is an exerpt from the book p.149
"In practice we have two main ways of administering remedies for chronic conditions. Thye method we
usually start with, commonly referred to as a 'Mini Programme', is to give the initial remedy -
often Psorinum - descending down over two days; that is one dose eacn of 10M, 1M and 200 at hourly
intervals on the first day followed by one dose each of 30C 12C and 6C potencies at hourly intervals
on the second day. As an example, we would give someone one dose of Psorinum 10M at 6pm, Psorinum 1M
at 7 pm and Psorinum 200C at 8pm on day 1. On the following day they would take Psorinum 30C at 6pm,
12C at 7pm, and 6C at 8pm. We then follow up on the next five days with a dyscrasia remedy e.g.,
Hepar sulph 30C each morning, the indicated remedy in a 30C potency in the middle of each day and an
organ support remedy e.g., Berberis 30C each evening.
Two or four weeks later, depending on the case we will follow up with a similar programme but using
slightly deeper acting remedies. For instnace Tuberculinum may be descended from 10m down to 6C over
the first two days followed on the next five days by a dyscrasia remedy, the same or a related
indicated remedy and a deeper organ remedy such as Kali phos all agian in the 30C potency."
----------------------
The second method is called the 'Maxi programme' ----- and I don't think it necessary for me to go
through this.......... unless you would really like me to.
From what I can see, every prescription, whether acute or chronic begins with Psorinum.
I think it would be safe to say that they work on the basis of --- giving a nosode (of which
Psorinum particularly and the other obvious ones are seemingly given eventually in all the
treatments), a dyscrasia remedy (mainly for the barrier to cure of mercury in amalgams, calomel
etc), a drainage remedy (often Berberis, Nux-v, Chelidon etc.) and then a deeper acting, indicated
remedy. There are a group of rems they seem to favour in the latter category, which are Carbo an,
Caust, Hep.sulph (which was given in almost every prescription in the examples in the book) - being
used as a dyscrasia remedy for the constitutional affects caused by mercury and other metals),
Hypericum, Lycopodium, Nux vom, Pulsatilla, Rad brom, Rhus tox (mainly for rheumatic conditions),
Sanicula and the Aqua remedies, Sepia, and Spongia, Symphytum and of course Thuja. However, there is
mention of many mineral rems and others as well.
The last appendix in the book are 4 pages or so of Therapeutics, which they say they do not stick to
but use when the presentation fits
I paid $29 Aussie dollars for this book, and can admit that read through it rather quickly (tis only
160 pages). It is not a method I am familiar with, and not one I am likely to adopt ---- however,
there are some intersting clinical tips that may come in handy some times.
If homoeopathic clinicians share their work with us, I am not going to ignore it just because the
fit is not exact with mine, but will see if there is something there that could be of use to me in
my way of doing things, which will ultimately benefit my patients. There are a few things in this
book that fit that description, so I guess the money spent was not a waste.
Re the comment Simon made, which started this thread ---- well, I could not find that infomation in
the book, that Psorinum is used to treat all inflammations, exactly in that way, on its own,
however, it is clear that Psorinum is the opening prescription in almost every case.
