Medorrhinum in LMs

[Jean Doherty]

Is this valid. My understanding is that nosodes are given at
intervals in the higher potencies. A woman with
demyelination,dementia, inability to speak above a whisper which can
barely be heard. Automatic movements particularly of L leg. Some
Medorrhinum features but I think more Tubercular. I would be very
grateful for comment of using nosodes in LM.s as I have no personal
experience. Thank you , Jean

Hi, Jean,

If a nosode is indicated as the remedy, then you can give it in LMs in the
same way as any other remedy.

Of course, sometimes, it seems more indicated to give the nosode as an
"intercurrent" rather than as the primary remedy. Most of the time, for
that purpose, I generally use a 200c. Figure that nosodes work like any
other remedy, except it's recommended to give them in higher potencies, not
x potencies or low cs.

Thank you so much, Rosemary. Best Wishes Jean.

Only one experience here, and not professional: mine. I've been taking Med in LM01 for a couple of months, at intervals of more or less six days as needed, and in single and double dilutions of varying dynamizations. I am getting only positive and progressive results on a number of symptoms. I have been treated by three homeopaths over five years, and the present one is very insightful. My case has started moving forward again, after what seems like not much progress in years. I do not expect to be on Med for much longer, given the changes I am experiencing. But its action in LM is what I would call typical in intensity and duration, just like any other large or small remedy I have used. I was a bit leery of the nosode at first as well, but it is a good fit.

Thank you. Very reassuring, Jean

I've used Med LM with my son, with fine results (except initially when
the dosing was *way* too aggressive, and daily rather than as needed),
and also used Carc LMs with one person, long-term "as needed", also
with very nice results.

Thank-you. My conceptions were in need of updating but as needed i would think vital and this an individual where supervision difficult, Jean

[Shannon Nelson]

Difficult for what reason?

This from David Little:

I have used many LM Nosodes over the last 17-18 years.
They can be given in the same potencies as any LM remedies, i.e. 0/1. 0/2, 0/3, etc..
One must be careful, however, not to over repeat the Nosodes and give them time to act.

Dr. Choudhury and some of his colleagues only use the LM potency. It is my opinion that this was not Hahnemann's intention. Hahnemann was well aware that the LM 0/1 acted too much like high of a potency to be easily used on some patients so he also used the lower potency Cs in the descending order.

It is my personal experience that some patient that would be aggravated on the LM potency do very well on the 30c - 6c. The LM 0/1 acts like a much higher potency than the 30C. I have seen some cases where these pure LM prescribers are having to use many dilution glasses (and sometimes still getting aggravations) when giving the patient a 30C or lower would work well without aggravations. Many times I have started a sensitive patient on the 6C-30C potency and work them up to the LM 0/1 over time rather than giving them a 200C, which may cause them trouble. This works very well. Hahnemann also used the low potency Cs quite often even though he had the same remedy in the LM potency. Hahnemann used the low to mid-range Cs (6C to 200C) and the LM potencies side by side whenever necessary.

I have not seen any of Hahnemann's cases where he used the nosodes in the LM potency. He did not really use nosodes very often. Once in great while he might give Psorinum or an auto-nosode of TB sputum. This was a very rare experiment for him. So we won't find much information in the Paris casebooks. Lastly, my experience is that one can use the nosodes in the LM potency with the same range of opening potencies (0/1 to 0.7). I have not found that giving the higher potencies in a routine manner to prevent aggravations is necessary. Dr. Choudhury did mention this to me but I have not had one bad aggravation with the LM nosodes in 0/1, 0/2, 0/3 yet but I always give a single test dose first and am very careful about over repetition of these remedies. This seems to work fine. If I ever have any problems I might test a higher (instead of lower potency) but it just hasn't happened yet!

Sincerely, David Little
