LM dosing instructions
Posted: Mon Apr 09, 2012 7:20 pm
just providing this to you for an example
NOT for you to be doing unless a homeoapth
For Chronic cases - dosing - DIFFERENT than for
acutes ........(same for animals as humans)
Mostly I provide the water remedy
Here is how I work with water potencies using a
technique taught by Luc de Schepper, based on
Hahnemann's teachings in 5th & 6th edition of Organon
Water potencies allow you to change the potency before each dose, slightly
Water potencies allow you to speed the cure by allow repetition
Water potencies allow you to ease the cure
(aggravations less or non-existent - if
aggravations occur usually pass quickly with
water potencies as opposed to dry doses)
The below is for working with chronic cases
(minor acute and first aid dosing is very
different - here we use higher potencies for the most part)
Luc De Schepper
Book: Achieving and Maintaining the Simillimum
An excellent book explaining water
potencies for the practitioner working with
chronic cases (minor acutes, not part of chronic
picture and first aid require higher potencies in
most cases - ie 200C or 1M or more)
Potency and dose used are based on sensitivity of
patient. Usually start with C potencies (6C, 12C
for more sensitive; 30C for less sensitive) in
water as instructed in 5th edition of
Organon. If patient not sensitive, may start
with LM's, although many patients who are
sensitive have aggravations, even with LM's.
Instructions to patient..............
It will be important for you to take the dose as
I've indicated below and contact me within 2 days
of taking the remedy and let me know exactly what
went on with you - any changes of any kind...........
1. improving - that may be hard to tell as you
don't have the arrhythmias daily
2. no change
3. any symptoms improve at all
4. any symptoms get worse
5. any new symptoms
6. any old symptoms return.
Frequency of dose will depend on initial
reaction. Dilution of dose will depend on
sensitivity of patient and initial reaction.
When you receive the remedy, let me know so I
know the first day you take the remedy
Instructions for Taking Your Homeopathic Remedy
(blanks filled in according to what I think the patient should start with)
If you have a dry pillule, put one pillule in a
____________ oz. (number of ounces depends on
sensitivity -if someone is very sensitive will
use an 8 oz bottle with water and vodka as
preservative; otherwise I use 6 oz bottle of water & vodka.)
(Add 15 drops of alcohol or vodka to a 4 oz
bottle, 22 drops to a 6 oz bottle and 30 drops to
an 8 oz bottle. However as Hahnemannn also
advises, if one lives in hot damp climate he
would put up to one third of alcohol in the
bottles. Obviously they did not have
refrigerators then and the same situation can
still occur when you work in third world
countries. Otherwise putting it in refrigerator
and even in cupboard away from sun would be ok
with regular dose of alcohol. For those that are
in AA and refuse to have any alcohol as a
preservative, use glycerin in same amounts.
Ideally the water should be distilled or filtered
or bottled pure spring water. Stir vigorously
with a spoon for first dose after pillule
dissolves. Use a glass or plastic cup and spoon
which you will only use for this remedy, not for
food or for other remedies. Label the cup (you
can keep the cup and spoon just for you to reuse
in some place safe - no one else should use)
1. The first dose doesn't need to be succussed
after the pillule dissolved - just stir to
mix. Subsequent doses need succussing. Succuss
the glass bottle (called RSB) each time before
taking a subsequent dose: that is, hit the
bottle against the palm of your hand or a
leather-bound book ____ times (# of times
determined by sensitivity and initial reaction
and experience using water potencies). Give it a
good hard whack from a distance of about 2 feet.
(like a judge with a gavel - hard downward stroke
- purposeful downward stroke for each one)
2. Take _________ from the bottle (amount
depends on sensitivity of patient - often will
start with 1 teaspoon but if very sensitive may
have to use less) and put it in a cup of 4 oz. of
water (Dosage Cup) (may even use 2 or 3 dilution
cups - depending on initial reaction). (Ideally
the water should be distilled or filtered or
bottled pure spring water but tap water is
acceptable if that is all you have). Stir
vigorously with a spoon for first dose after
pillule dissolves. Use a glass or plastic cup
and spoon which you will only use for this
remedy, not for food or for other
remedies. Label the cup (you can keep the cup
and spoon just for you to reuse in some place safe - no one else should use)
3. Take ________ from the Dosage Cup ONCE.
(amount again depends on patient - often will
start with 1 tsp from dosage cup - if patients
proves to be extremely sensitive may use more
than one dosage cup, diluting the remedy further
- ie take 1 teaspoon from dosage cup and put in a
2nd 4 oz dosage cup - can even go further than
that to 3 or 4 dosage cups or use drops instead of teaspoons)
4. Discard the rest of the water in the
cup. NEVER DRINK THE WHOLE CUP. Do not save it
overnight. You need to make a new cup the next
time you are instructed to take a dose, after
succussing the remedy bottle again. Otherwise
you will not be following the methodical and
systematic progression of potencies which are
part of this healing system, and you may
interfere with the progress of your cure. (can
save the actual cup though as above)
5. If this is a first time dose, call or email
me in ___2____ days, to me know how you reacted
to the remedy. I will call you or email you back
with instructions for further dosing.
Special Precautions:
· Keep it out of direct sunlight and away
from heat (eg. NOT in the glove compartment of your car on a hot day).
· Do not eat or drink anything for 20
minutes before or after taking your remedy. Also
avoid taking around the time you brush your teeth
· Coffee may alter the effects of the
remedy. Drinking coffee may antidote the
remedy. Tea is acceptable as are other
caffeine-containing foods like cola and chocolate.
After taking your first dose:
1. DON'T REPEAT THE REMEDY.
Wait and observe changes-mentally, emotionally, and physically.
1. improving
2. no change
3. any symptoms improve at all
4. any symptoms get worse
5. any new symptoms
6. any old symptoms return.
2. Call me or email me
3. Once we get you on a schedule for the remedy:
a. If you notice an aggravation at
any time, stop taking the remedy, and call me.
b. If you notice the return of an
old symptom, stop taking the remedy and call me.
c. If you develop a symptom you've
NEVER had before, stop taking the remedy and call me
d. If I am not available and you
don't know what to do, STOP taking the remedy.
e. If you notice a greater than 50%
improvement, stop taking the remedy - I will be
in touch more about this once we have you on a schedule
4. After you are on a schedule, email me once a
week with an update. I will continually evaluate your response to the remedy
