Minutus

Dear Soroush,
You asked : BUT, in the scheme of considering the totality of the patient's symptoms and selecting the similimum, what significance should be attached to this information? In my view it gives no justification to giving two remedies every day in the treatment of chronic disease.
In our MM certain remedies are having clear time aggravation like Lyco: 4 to 8 pm. It is not advisable to administer the remedy during its aggravation time. The author of this list (DR. RAUL ,IBARRA, SAN JUAN DE LA CRUZ 544, CAMRO REAL 45040, GUADALAJARA, JALISCO, MEXICO. Published in HH, APRIL, 91 PAGE 170.) that I sent to you selected those remedies with clear time modality and worked the ideal time for administration of those remedies taking into account the human digesting time. It is no way intervening in selecting the remedy based on totality. It is not recommendation for administration of more than one remedy.
With best wishes,

Perhaps I got my wire crossed on remedy selection!

Have you any evidence to support this concept of ideal time of
administration?
These time modalities come from provings and I am not sure that if the
remedy one is giving is a similimum (or even near similimum) all of a sudden
the sulph patient having been given sulph is going to agg at 11 am.

The agg around 11 am is a sx which may lead one to Sulph, but I do not think
it works the other way around too.

Whilst not wishing to be dis-respectful, I would really need to see some
hard evidence of many clinical reports that the patient was either
coincidentally or on purpose (as an experiment) was given their remedies at
the times indicated and severe Agg was witnessed. Without that evidence, I
am afraid it may be some theory!

In any case I usually give LMs and thus avoid these problems. The patient
takes last thing at night and probably sleeps right through it. This way,
the 'gentle' aspect of Homoeopathy is truly satisfied.
