Minutus

Hi all,

So today we started to refresh our pharmacy stocks (we= Abha Light; in Kenya). We have a nice little dispensary-pharmacy, probably the most extensive in E Africa. We keep our remedies as medicating potencies (ca. 90% alcohol), back potencies (29's, 199's) and such, so that we have a steady supply of remedies and cheap too. We have well over 700 rx's in various potencies making about 2000 vials and bottles in our pharmacy.

Myself and volunteer Lynda (UK) were working on the 30's boxes. (Its an idiosycracy of mine, I store by potency first, then by remedy, so there's the 30's boxes & drawers, then there's the 200's etc). We were replacing and replenishing the remedies. Fresh labeling for all the remedies (they get mucky with age& use) In some cases we were replacing old smaller vials with new larger vials for cleanliness and uniformity in our stocks.

So no problems, right? take the remedy in an "old" vial, pour it into a new vial with a crisp new label and move on.
We like to use those 5ml & 10ml clear glass vials from India because they're slim and light to handle.

Open, pour, re-label. Open, pour, re-label.

Actually, I love this kind of work, I love the remedies, and in some ways would prefer it over all the other jobs that keep me busy and away from the pharmacy. With each remedy I handle, I'm visualizing its uses and how many people will be benefited from its wonderful qualities. Then to the next remedy and the same love and visualization.

By late-day, after a couple hundred or so repetitive bottle-fillings, and with fumes of alcohol and dozens of remedies olfacting my nose, woosiness sets in, and I start talking to my remedies. Com' 'ere ya littl' fella', time to give ya a new home....

Ummm, time for a break....

So Lynda and I went out for a bit of shopping, cooked some dinner. Before eating however I wanted to finish up some lingering remedies. Lynda joined me back in the pharmacy.

Ok, folks. If you've managed to read up to here, you're probably wondering what's so bizarre and what in the world I'm talking about. If you've put up this much, you'll put up for a bit more. (I told you, I've been sniffing alcohol and remedies all day... go figure.) I've been meandering a bit, but I wanted you to get the full feel of the day for us.

So there's this remedy, Hura brasiliensis 30c, to be exact. We've only got about 3ml of it in a 5ml vial. We wanted to move it into a 10ml clear glass vial. So Lynda does what we've been doing all day - Open, pour, re-label.

She goes to pour the Hura into the new bottle and it doesn't pour!

Yes that's right. It rather forms a bubble of "water-membrane"(?), a "skin" if you will, at the mouth of the vial and sticks there.

She tries again, and again, and again. Each time, she tips the vial to pour the Hura out, the same happens. She calls my attention to it. So I try.

It happens again and again. I turn the vial upright and poke the mouth with a clean toothpick in case the "membrane" is sticking there. But there's no "membrane" when its upright. I tip to pour it out and again it forms a "skin" and sticks there.

We must have tried at least 25-30 times, completely facinated by this remedy's reaction to being poured!!!!

Finally, I give a bit of a jerk when pouring and the "skin" forms a leak and the remedy pours out into its new bottle.

Well I really never knew Hura B very well as a remedy so we looked it up:

[MURPHY]
"HISTORY - The milky juice called Assacu by the Brazilians of Hura is as powerful as that of the better-known Euphorbians. Hura has been used in leprosy, when skin feels as if it were hide bound. ..."
"HOMEOPATHIC -- Skin of forehead feels drawn tight..."

Didi - that is fascinating! What immense remedy energy - power- essence - call it what you will!
Liz

Yes!
We turned the vial fully upside down -again and again- and still the "skin-bubble" held! There wasn't even a bulge - the "skin" was flat across the mouth of the vial (the "forehead" of the vial??). Turning it rightsideup and the "skin" dissipated.

I've never had such a thing happen in all the years and thousands of vial-pourings I've ever done

Very amusing! And fascinating. You could actually see a surface, upside down, that wasn't visible right side up?

Have you by any chance experimented with pouring it from its new home?

Do you have the capacity to create a 31c of the same chemical composition (90% alcohol or whatever it is you have) and to leave that in storage for some time before trying this pouring experiment on that?

Could there be some stray contaminant in the vial you were trying to pour from? Do you have access to any laboratory to check out what may have been physically present to account for it? This could be the basis of a very interesting discovery.

Nicely told story, too.

Cheers!

Dear John,
Yes it appeared as an actual "bubble" that could be seen (and presumably touched). When the vial was tipped it would form, when upright would dissipate. No foreign body was . It was a remedy like any other kind. The vial was/is clear liquid like every other remedy.

So that you DON'T THINK from my last night's writing that Lynda & I were "drunk" (far from it, just literary licence there), we brought two of our students in to also watch the phenomena. So there were 4 witnesses to this.

Ahhhhh, as I write....Yes, now that I think of it, (it's morning now, new thoughts...) one possibility might account for it - this remedy was probably grafted from a globule. So some sugar molecules could be contaminating the remedy.

HOWEVER - we have a few dozen remedies that have been grafted, and yesterday we poured many of them into new vials. NONE OF THEM behaved in this way. I've never seen any remedy behave this way, grafted or not.

So perhaps the pure HURA was being "proven" by the sugar molecules?????

Could this open the way to a new style of proving - we won't need humans anymore, we just watch how the remedy molecules act on other molecules. Hmmmmmm.....
And as I write this email, I decided to give it a go. Wait a mo..... OK, I just have returned back from the pharma.
Tried several variations of the experiment - large vial, small vial, 31 "plain", 31 with a bit of sugar globule dissolved. Whatever were the conditions of last night's "bizarrity", (quantity?, temperature? electro magnetic environment?) I can't reproduce them now.

Hi, Didi --

Lovely! I didn't imagine that you were drunk. But your new method of proving remedies is sure to catch on amongst those who enjoy learning about remedies by thinking or dreaming about them.

The sugar is worth a thought. I've never seen or heard of the phenomenon either. It might be interesting to consult other homoeopathic pharmacists, though, who'd have a lot more experience of decanting remedies than the average practitioner would.

Incidentally, you don't happen to know the inside diameter of the vial you were pouring from, do you?

Cheers --

John

Gee John,
you are a real stickler of a scientist!

the inner diameter of the 5 ml vial (1 dram) = 8mm
the inner diameter of the 10 ml vial (2 dram) = 10 mm

till later
