REVISED - Example of how water potencies are used

[Sheri Nakken]

Sent an earlier version - here is the last version

sorry, I was revising something I sent to a patient................should
have been clearer
Have rewritten the order

Mostly I provide the water remedy or have it sent from Helios, already mixed

Here is how I work with water potencies using a technique taught by Luc de
Schepper, based on Hahnemann's teachings in 5th & 6th edition of Organon

Water potencies allow you to change the potency before each dose, slightly
Water potencies allow you to speed the cure by allow repetition
Water potencies allow you to ease the cure (aggravations less or
non-existent - if aggravations occur usually pass quickly whith water
potencies as oppposed dto dry doses)

The below is for working with chronic cases (minor acute and first aid
dosing is very different - here we use higher potencies for the most part)

Luc De Schepper
Book: Achieving and Maintaining the Simillimum
with chronic cases (minor acutes, not part of chronic picture and first aid
require higher potencies in most cases - ie 200C or 1M or more)

Potency and dose used are based on sensitivity of patient. Usually start
with C potencies (6C, 12C for more sensitive; 30C for less sensitive) in
water as instructed in 5th edition of Organon. If patient not sensitive,
may start with LM's, although many patients who are sensitive have
aggravations, even with LM's.

Instructions to patient..............
It will be important for you to take the dose as I've indicated below and
contact me within 2 days of taking the remedy and let me know exactly what
went on with you - any changes of any kind...........
1. improving - that may be hard to tell as you don't have the arrythmias
daily
2. no change
3. any symptoms improve at all
4. any symptoms get worse
5. any new symptoms
6. any old symptoms return.

Frequency of dose will depend on initial reaction. Dilution of dose will
depend on sensitivity of patient and intial reaction.

When you receive the remedy, let me know so I know the first day you take
the remedy

Instructions for Taking Your Homeopathic Remedy:

If you have a dry pillule, put one pillule in a ____________ oz. (number of
ounces depends on sensitivity -if someone is very sensitive will use an 8
oz bottle with water and vodka as preservative; otherwise I use 6 oz bottle
of water & vodka.)

Ideally the water should be distilled or filtered or bottled pure spring
water. Stir vigorously with a spoon for first dose after pillule
dissolves. Use a glass or plastic cup and spoon which you will only use
for this remedy, not for food or for other remedies. Label the cup (you
can keep the cup and spoon just for you to reuse in some place safe - no
one else should use)
1. The first dose doesn't need to be succussed after the pillule dissolved
- just stir to mix. Subsequent doses need succussing. Succuss the glass
bottle (called RSB) each time before taking a subsequent dose: that is,
hit the bottle against the palm of your hand or a leather-bound book ____
times (# of times determined by sensitivity and initial reaction and
experience using water potencies). Give it a good hard whack from a
distance of about 2 feet. (like a judge with a gavel - hard downward stroke
- purposeful downward stroke for each one)

2. Take _________ from the bottle (amount depends on sensitivity of
patient - often will start with 1 teaspoon but if very sensitive may have
to use less) and put it in a cup of 4 oz. of water (Dosage Cup) (may even
use 2 or 3 dilution cups - depending on intial reaction). (Ideally the
water should be distilled or filtered or bottled pure spring water but tap
water is acceptable if that is all you have). Stir vigorously with a
spoon for first dose after pillule dissolves. Use a glass or plastic cup
and spoon which you will only use for this remedy, not for food or for
other remedies. Label the cup (you can keep the cup and spoon just for you
to reuse in some place safe - no one else should use)

3. Take ________ from the Dosage Cup ONCE. (amount again depends on
patient - often will start with 1 tsp from dosage cup - if patients proves
to be extremely sensitive may use more than one dosage cup, diluting the
remedy further - ie take 1 teaspoon from dosage cup and put in a 2nd 4 oz
dosage cup - can even go further than that to 3 or 4 dosage cups or use
drops instead of teaspoons)

4. Discard the rest of the water in the cup. NEVER DRINK THE WHOLE CUP.
Do not save it overnight. You need to make a new cup the next time you are
instructed to take a dose, after succussing the remedy bottle again.
Otherwise you will not be following the methodical and systematic
progression of potencies which are part of this healing system, and you may
interfere with the progress of your cure. (can save the actual cup though
as above)

5. If this is a first time dose, call or email me in ___2____ days, to me
know how you reacted to the remedy. I will call you or email you back with
instructions for further dosing.

Special Precautions:
· Keep it out of direct sunlight and away from heat (eg. NOT in the glove
compartment of your car on a hot day).
· Do not eat or drink anything for 20 minutes before or after taking your
remedy. Also avoid taking around the time you brush your teeth
· Coffee may alter the effects of the remedy. Drinking coffee may antidote
the remedy. Tea is acceptable as are other caffeine-containing foods like
cola and chocolate.

After taking your first dose:
1. DON'T REPEAT THE REMEDY.

2. Call me or email me

3. Once we get you on a schedule for the remedy:
call me.
call me.
remedy and call me
remedy.
I will be in touch more about this once we have you on a schedule

4. After you are on a schedule, email me once a week with an update. I
will continually evaluate your response to the remedy
