Just curious- why would you think of Psor in low when you were
thinking of Calc in terms of 10M?

If the coccyx is troublesome then yes probably you should take care
of that before taking up treating the Psoriasis... When you are
talking about Psoriasis you are talking about some long term
effort... so first things first-

why not Hypericum in water doses for sometime?

If you think Calc had worked ( even if aggravated) and if you are
sure that it had pointers may be you need to wait before tackling it
further with any of the suggestions- I have seen some of these
working curatively even after a few weeks.. may be you should have
tried it the 6th edition way instead of aggravating, waiting and
watching
What do you think?

Psorinum low is what I always prescribe for a skin case because it might

I gave the dose of Calc 1M last September. hat is more than a few weeks ago.

I told Mum to give the child a Hypericum 30 tonight and let me know if she
thinks there is any difference.

For some reason I have been receiving a few posts from Minutus? anyway, just to offer something towards this---

so, Pulsatilla seems indicated but she is not quite Pulsatilla, close but not the simillimum so the next obvious choice would have to be a closely related rx and that would be Kali sulph (Schussler's Pulsatilla) - huge affinity to psoriasis that is flaking (desquamation) with some yellowness and >> cool.

The well known 'lack of reaction' comes through in all the planes - emotional. physical and mental, so you get a kind of capricious nature, well known in Pulsatilla but in Kali sulph a bit more vague but nonetheless present and this takes the form of being anxious about the most trifle things = not being able to answer when required because mental exertion <<

Lovely to have you back on board Joy. Where have you been? I will study Kali Sulph carefully. There aren't really any relevant case notes missing. What were you looking for? If it's not there it probably wasn't worth writing about .
Thanks

thanks for contributing. Great to have picture of Kali Sulph, Jean

Hi Hahnemannian,
This brings up several issues I'd love to hear your, and others',
thoughts on.
One is when/whether high potency might be suitable for a skin
condition; I was taught that that can aggravate very badly--*but* this
situation is somewhat different, where she has already had high
potencies of the remedy; so I am curious what others would do?

Also, I was taught to give psorinum in 30 or 200, not higher (or
lower?)--but again I don't really know whether this was meant as a
"blanket" direction, or only as a suggested starting point. (I was
taught the same thing re carc, but I read cases where carc is begun
much higher, so again, am curious for others' experience and
understanding.)

It does sound like a good situation for 6th ed method, tho!

I have used Psor in 1M and above a few times - had no problems worth
noting after that-
I have not used high potencies a lot with skin diseases - because I
have mostly had aggravations with skin conditions before relief.

It is only rarely that I repertorize based on just skin and only if
it is a really unusual symptom. I have had this aggravation even
with lower potencies.

I do not agree that higher potencies < and lower do not etc. It
depends once again - on the patient, suitability of the medicine,
nature of disease etc. No blanket rule- I have had aggravations even
with 6, 30 , 200 and no aggravation at all with 10M.

Like I mentioned to Rochelle , I was just curious about it. I have
not given too much importance to potencies in my practice. I have
seen Psorinum and other nosodes prescribed in all their range of
potencies with vaunted effectiveness. Lots of times I had prescribed
a particular potency only because that was the potency that I had at
hand.

Thanks, I'm glad to know!
Can you say what sorts of cases you've done that with--I would assume
the complaints were mostly M/E, or not necessarily?
Certainly! I wasn't suggesting that...
I've seen the same. I was taught--and my observation agrees--that "too
low" can aggravate if it is "close enough" to rouse the reaction, but
not close (potent) enough to move things efficiently. However (have to
think about this...) I use 6 and 12's pretty freely as alternative to
high/single in certain situations, and it's only one person I've seen
agg to a low potency (she's extremely sensitive! and I treat only a
small number), and two that I've seen agg to a medium potency when high
was actually indicated. In other words, I've (and this is very
tentative) seemed to see more "roughness" from the 30/200 range, in
cases (the two, that is) where 10M was well-indicated (intense
symptoms, vital pt, close match between pt and remedy), than from using
6/12 range under same circumstances.

I don't have enough "statistics" to say this as a rule, but I guess
that's why I've become more fond of the low range (as alternative to
high), and less fond of the middle range.

Great!
Yeah, me too--except there are certain cases where I would not use
high, *even* if it's all I have on hand--but from caution and "what I
was taught", not from any bad experience (knock on wood!). In your
cases, tho, are there any you consider not suitable for high potencies?
Shannon

I guess what I am trying to say is that that is how her body expresses itself and it will continue to come out unless suppressed and suppression would be bad news indeed. So it is a good sign if she can tolerate it, IMO.
My daughter has always found that when she could be out in the sun a reasonable amount of time her psoriasis was much less bothersome. It was its very worst in winter when we were living in Moscow. Conv. doctors there had her use a tanning booth and that did help (though I would normally be against it). It certainly beat their other solutions, one of which was a cream so dangerous that the good folks in the pharmacy in London where we tried to fill the prescription warned us against using it.
BTW, my daughter’s psoriasis began as she came into puberty. She has other (hormonal) problems that began then as well.
In his book ***Achieving and Maintaining the Simillimum*** Dr. Luc de Schepper gives a good argument for beginning with judicious doses of 6c in water in treating chronic problems. If you have not seen that book, it is certainly worth a long look. Teresa (Northern VA)

I bought the book when I was in India but have not got around to reading it yet!!

The child I don't think has a problem with the psoriasis but Mum and dad do!!
