hyposenstivity IBS patient need advise
Posted: Tue Apr 28, 2009 10:35 pm
My experiences have been that starting with water dosing does not always produce the stronger initial action of the dry dose that may be necessary in those whose vital force needs a strong push, at least mine.
I've observed the same, that dry dose gives a stronger initial "push". In most cases the strength of the *initial* push isn't especially important, but I'm interested to hear its importance in this kind of situation--thanks for mentioning it!

It sounds like Susan may be very near the lower end of the sensitivity scale.. where there is still the possibility of using 5th/6th Organon liquid posology ... as appropriate to hyposensitivity.
Hahnemann posited that we humans vary in basic sensitivity to medicinal input on a scale of 1 to 1,000.

Hyposensitivity (1-300)
Constitutions low on the sensitivity scale (1-300). Hyposensitivity is composed of inherited constitutional sluggishness, slow temperament, low vitality reaction, venereal miasms, suppression, and diseases which under-tune the vital force and produce slowly progressive degenerative states. They are for the most part non reactive to environmental stimuli or weather changes, etc.
The signs of hyposensitivity are flat mood, sluggish temperament, hypoactive states, slow developing symptoms and insidious degenerative processes. Investigate the physical constitution for the signs of the chronic miasms or congenital deformities which stimulate low reactivity.
Normally, hyposensitive constitutions will have a history of lack of reaction to natural treatments and homoeopathic remedies. They often do not demonstrate the side-effects of allopathic medicines, and in many cases, do not believe very much in healing.
The hyposensitive constitutions usually need fairly strong stimulation to respond. They are suited to the higher potencies, if there is not too much organic pathology. In general, those with functional disorders will tolerate remedies better than those with organic pathology.
Many of these cases can be started on the 200c and 1M potency centesimals. Ultra high potencies like 10M, 50M, CM, and MM are normally reserved for later if needed. One, or in the most hyposensitive, two pills are used to make the medicinal solution. The upper range of the LM potency is also indicated in many of these cases.
The opening potencies for true hyposensitives may be between LM 0/3, 0/4, 0/5, and 0/6. It is better to start lower and work up than cause unneeded aggravations.
The number of succussion should be at the higher end of the scale of 1 to 10. 7, 8, 9, 10, and increasing more, succussion may have to be used. Succussion can really'shake up' the vital force and get things moving. Two or three teaspoons of the medicinal solutions should then be stirred into the dilution glass and 1, 2, 3 or increasing more teaspoons given as a dose until the desired response is attained.
Many of these individuals do very well on the'split-dose' of the medicinal solution or a series of dose. Refer to Hahnemann's Advanced Methods for the details.
The Fine Tuning of the Medicinal Solutions
Now that we have discussed the basics of sensitivity and dose we need to look at a few refinements and how to work up through the potency levels. There are two ways to adjust the amount of the dose of the aqueous solution.
One way is to change the number of teaspoons of the medicinal solution and the other is to change the the number of teaspoons from the dosage glass. Increasing the number of teaspoons (1, 2, 3) of the medicinal solution stirred into a dosage glass makes the remedy act deeper progressively. At the same time, it dictates how fast one moves through the potencies.
If one uses 1 teaspoon of a 4oz MS that makes 24 doses whereas if one uses 3 teaspoons from the medicinal solution that makes 8 doses. After finishing the LM 0/1 the standard practice is to move to LM 0/2 unless the case specifically dictates otherwise.
When one uses a larger amount of the medicinal solution, it not only increases the size of the dose, but also affects how fast one raises potencies. Therefore, the amount and the arc of the potency is increased at the same time.
This means that in your lower average and hyposensitive constitutions the progression through the potencies, LM 0/1, LM 0/2, LM 0/3, LM 0/4, etc, is much faster than the progression a hypersensitive goes through. This is because a hypersensitive on the smaller amount, and larger medicinal solution, may stay on LM 0/1 for a very long time, with only the cumulative succussions slowly raising the potency. The potency progression is almost self-regulating in relationship to the sensitivity scale.
The second method is to increase the number of teaspoons from the dilution glass. This is a more subtle increase of the amount and dose which does not affect the progressive rate of consumption of the medical solution or cause a more rapid ascent through the potencies. This, however, can make a great difference in the reaction in some sensitive patients.
If you have a reaction but feel the need to increase the dose, this is often the best way to start. I tend to first adjust the action of a remedy up or down by increasing or decreasing the succussions. If I am not satisfied with this, I will change the size of the dose to larger or smaller amounts. First of all, I change the amount from the dilution glass, and secondly, from the medicinal solution itself. The same theorem is used with the centesimal potencies in medicinal solution.
Succussions Versus the Amount
There are two major ways to adjust the medicinal solution. They are increasing and decreasing the succussions and the size of the dose. How are these two methods similar and how are they different? This subtle question comes with experience in the method.
These two methods form a functional polarity of complementary opposites. Succussions increase the potency causing the remedy to be more active while diluting the remedy decreases the amount of the dose moderating the effects of potency. In the best dose these twin factors balance with each other.
May I offer an analogy? When we increase the succussions it seems to raise the frequency of the remedy to new harmonics. When we increase the amount, it seems to increase the amplitude of the remedy. These have different effects on the vital force. The succussions seem to'shake things up' while the amount seems to 'fill things out'.
If I was going to use geometry as an analogy I would say that the succussions have a vertical affect while the amounts have a horizontal affect. The perfect balance of the two fills the entire space. When I need more medicinal power to stir things up I increase the succussions. When I wish to have more medicinal qualities I increase the dose. This phenomenon can be witnessed but it is hard to put into words
