Dear Shannon, I think much of this hinges on whether this is the correct
remedy or not. If unsure of a remedy I would be "leery" of prescribing it at
all. But if you really do have to go forward with 'some remedy or another'
then it is usually considered prudent to stay low.
As to whether low potencies can reach deep levels - of course they can. LM's
are 'low' and can reach all levels but so can 6c, 12c 30c - it really
depends on the individual case.
You give an example where a 30 aggravates but a 1m smooths out - this is
common enough as is the method to go higher when a so called aggravation
occurs.
Also low potencies are so valuable when there is a long standing condition -
the lower potencies possibly lending themselves to repeating more often
although this is a moot point and is theoretical for many.
I would ask that if the picture is not well developed - then why is that?
Usually there is always a way of confirming a remedy, you just need to
employ it.
On a practical level, for example, it is perfectly reasonable to give
repeated low doses (whether LM's or C or X) to someone who is schizophrenic,
on heavy allopathic drugs. This is about as deep seated as you can get and
there are so many other examples one could use - epilepsy, cancer, motor
neuron disease, alzheimers, etc - so yes, celebrate the low potencies if it
suits the case.
Hope this helps, Joy

I know that potency questions are tricky, and lots of possible answers,
but... I'm curious what people's experiences have been with using either
30c *or lower potencies* to treat deep-seated (mental level) and
long-standing conditions? I read cases where 30c produces miraculous
results -- but I have also had a couple where 30c aggravated rather than
producing much movement -- but 1M worked smoothly and well. (Both of those
were cases where high potency was strongly indicated, and the remedy picture
was clear.)
But if I am unsure of the remedy, I am very leery of using a high potency
(and this is for someone for whom all the "easy" thoughts have already
failed; so now I am exploring some for which the picture is not well
developed...). Yet I wonder whether 12 might be "too low"???
On a few people I have seen good results using 12c (repeated every few days,
or as needed) to treat even deep conditions, and once we'd established that
that remedy/potency was working, we then moved on to single dose/high, which
worked very well also. But now I wonder whether this will normally be the
case -- why would 12c be more effective in a deep condition than 30c????
Wondering whether the differences in action that I've observed are flukes
based on too-small sample size, or whether 12c can actually treat more
"deeply" (even tho more briefly) than 30...
Any thoughts???
Thanks!
Shannon
