I'm not sure if David Little actually read what I was writing or that
he was told about it with some general outlines because nothing in
his thorough (as always) answer contradicts what I wrote about the
problems of managing the case with the LM method in the today's most
of the western Homeopathic setting and the fact that in most cases it
is impracticable for the Homeopath to see the patient every few days
in order to evaluate and manage their treatment.
Reading David's answer only emphasises the importance of close
checking of the patient during treatment with LM in order to assess
the exact state of the treatment in order to manage it without
corruptting it, I am quite sure David is not managing his cases via
the phone or the Email nor letting his patient decide for themselves
when to take and when to stop taking the remedy.
Yes, the repetition of the dose is to be done only "WHEN NECESSARY"
and who is to decide when it is necessary? the patient himself? or
the Homeopath over the phone? is it responsible enough??
Hn. is of course right when he tells us that "...it must be a
matter of great importance to the physician as well as to the patient
that were it possible, this period should be diminished to one-half,
one-quarter, and even still less, so that a much more rapid cure might
be obtained..." but did Hn. knew that his "old school" Allopathy
would become today's conventional medicine and that Homeopathy will
be held by a very small group of people without even one single
hospital in most countries?
If he knew that most Homeopaths cannot see their patient so often,
will he suggest us to give the patient a bottle with the LM remedy
with some instructions (as many Homeopath today are doing!!) and to
see him in a month or so? or would he suggest us to give the patient
instructions over the Phone or Email?
All I said was that as I see it now, in the current circumstances, it
is the best thing to loose the benefits of the LM method in favour of
the more easy-to-manage method of the dry dose (well, practically one
can also give one dose of LM and wait for a long period but than you
don't get the major benefit of this method, which is the speedier
cure).
And of course, I am not talking about the very sick, old or dying
patient that cannot wait for monthes for the cure or cannot handle a
dry dose aggrevation.
