Succussion RAISES the potency

§ 247 Sixth Edition

It is impractical to repeat the same unchanged dose of a remedy once, not
to mention its frequent repetition (and at short intervals in order not to
delay the cure). The vital principle does not accept such unchanged doses
without resistance, that is, without other symptoms of the medicine to
manifest themselves than those similar to the disease to be cured, because
the former dose has already accomplished the expected change in the vital
principle and a second dynamically wholly similar, unchanged dose of the
same medicine no longer finds, therefore, the same conditions of the vital
force. The patient may indeed be made sick in another way by receiving
other such unchanged doses, even sicker than he was, for now only those
symptoms of the given remedy remain active which were not homoeopathic to
the original disease, hence no step towards cure can follow, only a true
aggravation of the condition of the patient. But if the succeeding dose is
changed slightly every time, namely potentized somewhat higher (§§ 269-270)
then the vital principle may be altered without difficulty by the same
medicine (the sensation of natural disease diminishing) and thus the cure
brought nearer.1

1 We ought not even with the best chosen homoeopathic medicine, for
instance one pellet of the same potency that was beneficial at first, to
let the patient have a second or third dose, taken dry. In the same way, if
the medicine was dissolved in water and the first dose proved beneficial, a
second or third and even smaller dose from the bottle standing undisturbed,
even in intervals of a few days, would prove no longer beneficial, even
though the original preparation had been potentized with ten succussions or
as I suggested later with but two succussions in order to obviate this
disadvantage and this according to above reasons. But through modification
of every dose in its dynamiztion degree, as I herewith teach, there exists
no offence, even if the doses be repeated more frequently, even if the
medicine be ever so highly potentized with ever so many succussions. It
almost seems as if the best selected homoeopathic remedy could best extract
the morbid disorder from the vital force and in chronic disease to
extinguish the same only if applied in several different forms.

Succussion *plus* dilution raises the potency. I do not think H. ever
said that by stirring etc. of the solution the potency was raised. He
said that the remedy was changed somewhat.

Anyway, H. as a rule started with C 30 -- went on through changing the
remedy by whatever process and then went down to C 27, from there to C
24 etc. But even if he started in some cases with say C 18, he would
then go on with C 15, C 12 etc.

Sheilagh Creasy was asked what to do if one had taken a patient up thru
the highest available LM potency. Her response was that she, in that
position, had had the patient drop back down to LM-1 and simply begin
the series over again, and that had worked well. I've also heard of,
once the patient seems to have exhausted the usefulness of available
high potencies of a remedy, having them begin a low potency series.
So--it seems that *change* is the thing, more so than either raising or
lowering.
