Potencies

You are quite correct, Soroush, about the 'C' and the 'X' potencies.
Theta is used for MT, but in India I have seen labels typed with Q to represent MT. I suppose as the greek symbol is not available on manual typewriters they just type Q.
You have written the following:
"So to get to 200 C we need 200 x 100 drops
Each 100 drops is approx 3.5 ml
So to reach 200C we need 200*3.5/1000= 0.7 litres."
The last line above would give you only 1C and not 200C as at each stage you would have to succuss the 3.5ml with (3.5ml x 99ml )= 346.5ml to get 2C potency
of this 346.5 ml you would take only 3.5 ml and chuck the rest to reach 3C potency and discard 346 minus 3.5ml= 342.5 ml. So at every stage you would be discarding 342.5 ml. Therefore to reach 200c you would discard 200 x 342.5 ml = 68500/1000 = 68.5litres and you would then have 342.5 ml of the remedy at 200C potency. That is just 68.5 teaspoons of 200C remedy and you would have discarded 68.5 litres. to get a litre of the remedy, you would discard (68.5 lt x 200) = 13,700 ltrs approx.
And that is just one remedy at 200C. There's got to be another way.
