Minutus

Phos and Sil and many other rx have the bad reputation for causing aggravations nearly always because the potency, posology or dosing was not correct, or possibly case taking not adequate to determine the sensitivity of the client.

The simillimum is what is required at any given time and there are no half measures, there is no such thing as a near simillimum that will cure. If there are flare-ups or acutes that need attending to then the required simillimum at that time will cure. More than one rx might be needed, depends on the case.

When the clearly indicated rx is not creating any reaction then follow ups have to be very diligent as one needs to know all the possibilities of why this is happening before you rush to another rx - but we have to be humble and when we have determined that all the possibilities of a rx not working have been considered then it is time to re-take the case with another rx to prescribe and accept the fact that the clearly indicated rx was not in fact the simillimum.

Should have added also that many would step outside of homeopathy to help the extremely weak client - diet, exercise, lifestyle change, removing maintaing causes, etc etc, but that's something else entirely.
