Minutus

"As Hahnemann evolved in his methodology in the 5th and 6th edition of the
Organon with putting the remedies in water, he found it to be gentler for
the patient, and could almost entirely avoid the homeopathic aggravations
for the patient associated with the 4th edition method of prescribing. He
also found that liquid solutions had a stronger effect on the vital force
(or chi) of the patient (this is the life force that is individual to each
person, and this vital force works relentlessly to protect against negative
influences/triggers that can cause dis-ease in the mind and body). Not only
that, he discovered that the process of cure was speeded up so that it only
took one-quarter or one-third as long."

"?The highest ideal of cure is the rapid, gentle and permanent restoration
of health; that is, lifting and annihilation of the disease in its entire
extent in the shortest, most reliable, and least disadvantageous way,
according to clearly realizable principles.?
Samuel Hahnemann"

excerpt

During the last 10 years of his life, Hahnemann was trying to find a way to
speed up the process of cure with homeopathy while at the same time
minimizing the sometimes uncomfortable homeopathic aggravations, or
intensification of symptoms, which were typical of homeopathy at that point
with the 4th edition methods of giving remedies in dry doses.

Although Hahnemann?s personal practice grew immensely beyond the stage of
the 4th edition Organon, homeopathy as a whole did not. Most practitioners
today are still practicing by the rules laid down in 1828-1829. This is
more than strange, as the next 14 years of Hahnemann's career were the most
productive of his life, and in these years Hahnemann developed the Advanced
Methods, as he was constantly searching for a way to improve in his methods.

There are six editions of the Organon. The Organon is the masterwork in
which Samuel Hahnemann laid out both the theoretical framework and
practical application of homeopathy, still employed today. The Advanced
Methods of the 5th and 6th edition of the Organon are artistic methods that
must be individualized to the patient, with no preconceived schedules or
protocols. The homeopath needs to remain flexible and alert, as the daily
dose may be correct in one case, while a dose a week or a month is
sufficient for other cases. Just as the totality of the individual is
important to each case, so is the individuality of remedy management of
utmost importance to bringing a patient to cure.

As Hahnemann evolved in his methodology in the 5th and 6th edition of the
Organon with putting the remedies in water, he found it to be gentler for
the patient, and could almost entirely avoid the homeopathic aggravations
for the patient associated with the 4th edition method of prescribing. He
also found that liquid solutions had a stronger effect on the vital force
(or chi) of the patient (this is the life force that is individual to each
person, and this vital force works relentlessly to protect against negative
influences/triggers that can cause dis-ease in the mind and body). Not only
that, he discovered that the process of cure was speeded up so that it only
took one-quarter or one-third as long.

Unfortunately, Hahnemann died while the manuscript of the 6th edition
(which outlined the LM potency) was at the printer; and the manuscript was
lost for nearly 100 years. It was discovered in an attic in Germany between
the two World Wars. By the time the 6th edition became widely available,
the practice of homeopathy was well-established. Homeopaths were reluctant
to abandon the method they already knew. Thus the 6th edition with the LM
potency* and method is still minimally unknown by many Homeopathic school
and practitioners, except in India.

Just as the totality of the individual is

Entirely agree with this... some need low, some high- based on
conditions some need repetition , some do not - remedy management is
individual and not just based on potency.
of the
gentler for
aggravations

I have not had much aggravation with 1st - 4th edition either. That
may be because I am practising not according to Organon and so even
the aggravation does not come according to it
I agree it might be gentler still with split dosing and LMs. Did not
get the motivation to move because did not feel the need.

Not only
it only

I do not know how I can gauge this. For me it varies with individual
and even there in different times it is different. Once I have given a
C potency how would I know that if I had given the LM it would have
been easier? Because the patient had already started responding. I
have seen C potencies work immediately as well.
By the time the 6th edition became widely available,
reluctant
the LM
school
Exactly- All the great homeopaths have followed only the C potencies
and so there is considerable experience with this. Lots of literature.
Cannot fault poor prescribers when they stick to something they know
and they know that their masters used.

Not criticizing LM here but as I said there is a lot of variation in
all practice and all great prescribers have used all variety. Let us
just say some follow Burnett
