Let me take a jab at this one.
The issue of "dry dose" is not, IMO, the fact it is in a pill or powder form (dry but is not really as the lactose contains a lattice of H2O), dissolved in saliva, a tsp of water or a bottle of water. The issue is with taking the full amount in one go, then wait and see what is happening.
No matter how you administer the remedy, it remains the same remedy, providing the same information. Agree?
Taking the full amount or a part of the same amount dissolved in 1,2,3,4,5 glasses of water changes the number of bytes of information provided, to speak computereese.....
Therefore, even though you receive the same information, it is the intensity, the strength of this information that is modulated, allowing a weaker system to tolerate some change whereas if it received too intense a load it would overreact, or even not react at all, "freezing".
Let's take an example we all know well: students enroll for a 4 years university level study programme. If you send them all the books, all the syllabi, all the CDs and DVDs they will ever need with the mention "study that and pass your exams", how many will balk and leave the course? Single dose.... if you send the material regularly, month after month, the same education will be achieved at the end, digested and tolerated a lot better! Water dosing....
Then here comes the question: why am *I*, allegedly an advanced practitioner, former student of David Little, etc,... still using "single-shot doses" aka dry doses, in the F series?
Answers:
1. because the single "semi-dry" dose is part of a series where each different dose has a different potency, respecting what H said, but in a specific, mathematically and biologically correct order.
2. because in reality, most of the patients (about 80% in my practice) CAN and DO tolerate a "high intensity single-shot" dose as long as they are followed closely, warned about effects and in touch with the practitioner (thank you email!!!!).
3. those dry doses are modified in water potencies a la Organon 5 or 6 if the patient is highly sensitive to drugs or remedies, has low vitality as assessed through physical examination and history (and that vitality sometimes has to be restored BEFORE the homeopathic treatment, a different subject), or has organic pathology you certainly do not want the slightest aggravation to happen as it could kill them (severe asthmatics, heart pathologies, etc,.....)
Again, back to basics: a successful treatment will be based on the correct remedy in the first place, at proper levels of vibration (potencies) and given in a manner that the patient can cope with.
Do I make sense????
