Homeopathy for Mothers, Bosses, etc.

[Shannon Nelson]

Better still, I should have just let Ellen answer!

[Ellen Madono]

Grafting has nothing to do with combination remedies. Think how did H impregnate those different color sugar pills. S/he was grafting. I don't know if it is politically correct or in the interest of the homeopathic pharmaceutical industry to teach people how to graft. It is sort of like telling people that they can make dilutions and use very little of their remedy. I figure if people knew how to do this, everyone would be doing homeopathy because they would figure out that it is totally accessible. Let's hear the opposition to telling the truth first.

Sorry, the teasing in the previous message was mean spirited. I should just assume the great spirit of homeopathy prevails. So this is a straight reply.

To graft, you get 45 proof alcohol. Drop your potentized pellet in the bottle. I use a dropper spoit to put a drop of alcohol in the bottle. Then I have an other bottle (dummy bottle) of the same size full of blank pellets. I use a wine pouring cork to get the pellets into the dummy bottle. Then I pour the blank pellets into the bottle that is to be potentized. Swish the drop of pellet and alcohol around. The pellet will not melt in that high proof alcohol so don't even try. Pour the blank pellets in and mix them around. Dry your pellets. Try to keep different remedies far from one another when drying.

Pros and Cons:

You smell the remedy and take it in. I figured out I should take a remedy the other day by making it and getting a reaction. You might not like the proving.

The resulting remedy is slightly less potent than your original remedy, but in the world of high dilution, the difference is insignificant.

Possibility of remedy contaminating (mixing of different remedies) on your blank pellets thus I pour blank pellets into another bottle (dummy bottle) first. Still I think I am contaminating since I do it inside and those potentized molecules in alcohol do not stay put. The world is not perfect.

General contamination: but that is true of any water dilution and seems to make no different. You are not potentizing anything so no potential contaminants get potentized.

This is a lot of work. If you are doing homeopathy professionally, you do not want to do this. But, I teach all my students (I'm just a student, but I teach anyone I can get to listen) how to do this 1.) because I want them to get the idea of dilution and 2.) because I am thinking of preparation for epidemic or mass disaster. If there is ever an epidemic, they are told to make an alcohol dilution with the highest proof they have. The problem is anything lower than 45 proof will melt the sugar. The 45 proof is hard to get in many states and expensive.

However, I hand out grafted arnica, hypericum, belladonna, etc in one inch baggies this way and don't feel that I am making a big economic investment in stirring up interest in homeopathy. Now in Japan, this is the way I make up remedies just because I have so little and can't get more easily.

Blessings,
Ellen

Dear Ellen, Soroush,
Please see the info in the following site [if short of time you can skip the first 3 questions of the interview] and compare the methods. What is your opinion?

Hi Manly,
No grafting is not the same as dilution. You are actually diluting, but the object is to impregnate a blank pellet. You can't use water because it would melt the sugar. Pellets are handy because they don't get succussed and thus potentized when you carry them around. Packages can be simple cheap zip lock bags too. Strictly for the barefoot doctor types.
Blessings,
Ellen

hi.
To my understanding "grafting" is

1) Taking a globule, putting it in a small vial with bit of water and dissolving it. Lightly shake say 5 times(?!).

2) After that, throw out the water except for a drop or two. Top up (presumably at about 1:99 drops) with alcohol and succuss.

3) Now use this as medicating potency to medicate pills or whatever.

I used this method in early days when I had less access and few remedies. While I don't prefer it or consider it "pure", it does work in a pinch. We never saw grafted medicines fail (at least not because they were grafted!)

What is the potency of a graft made from a 30 pill? Gosh, don't know. We just (unscientifically) called it "30" and went our merry way.

Dear Maly
Indeed the best results are from remedies in water, whether acute or chronic
prescribing. This is another discovery of Hn.

For acute, they can be plussed (Succussed) prior to each does thus raising
the potency ever so slightly, from which the VF benefits. (It does not like
the same potency repeated)
