200c myth

[David Little]

Hello Minutus,

Hahnemann used a wide range of opening potencies (0/1 to 0/7). In
one case he tested a 0/21!! That is like starting with the C in MM and
beyond! The point I want to make is - if one is not getting the reaction on
needs from the 0/1 try the 0/2, etc.. In cases where you need more dynamic
energy you can move up through the potencies quickly. Hahnemann tended to
move up one degree every week or two although sometimes he waited much
longer. In some cases he went up even faster than a week. Those that are
very sensitive can stay of 0/1 for long periods. Many of these folks don't
like to move up very fast. It can take months to go from 0/1 to 0/2 and
0/3. Those that are more hyposensitive can move up very quickly. A quick
upper movement also suits some cases of acute disease. Hahnemann's advanced
methods evolve the most sophisticated methods of individualizations. This
is where science and arts come together. The methods of adjusting the dose
to suit the time and circumstances are almost infinite. This might be some
of the things that overwhelms some of the 4th Organon prescribers who have
gotten used to a fixed method. Give a dose of the 200C first and wait one
month. This is easy - yes - but it is not the best way to go.
Individualization is a cardinal principle of homoeopathy.

Sincerely, David
