Terminology owies! [was: skin Application ( suppression)

[Shannon M]

Yup, it's a terminology problem!
LMs are an entirely different "scale" from Cs or Xs, and they are
prepared differently.
I think David Little's site includes an article about how LMs are
prepared, which would illustrate the difference.

And, just as we have (e.g.) 30c... 10M... etc. in the C scale, and
(e.g.) 12x ... 30x ... in the X scale, in the LM scale we have LM-1 ...
LM-30, etc. LM scale is sometimes called the Q scale (do I have that
right?), but Q is also used for other things too, so one has to be
careful that one is understanding the context in any particular
reference--and *that* is a situation where better standardization would
be avery good thing!!
Cheers,

Q also is an abreviation for the tincture of the remedy (not potentized
remedy source in tincture form). I found this very confusing.

The mother tincture is identified by the Greek lowercase letter Phi O

Q is used to indicate LM potencies in some countries.

Minutus's internal restrictions stopped the representation of the letter Phi

Is is an O with a line going diagonally from top right to bottom left.

Thanks Soroush,
Do you know where the use of Q for LMs got started, by any chance?
