I disagree.
With the Fibinacci potencies and some common sense there is indeed a methodology.
Essentially the chronic dosing principles I use, are:
* Start low on the F scale, like 3C (or 5C for more toxic original substance), and increase to the next F potency only after the work of the current potency is done (ie no more improvement seen with say one or two doses in a row);
* With each potency, dose once and observe for response. Do not re-dose till the response wears off. That first dose will last a specific time. Dose that potency a little before the next dose is due to wear off based on the duration of first dose.
* Begin with a small dose such as a small sip (adjusted for size of individual) and adjust if needed, according to individual need, either with dilution glasses or with increased dose.
* In animal work if the owner must be away all day, you can also adjust dose size and dose frequency somewhat to accommodate times owner is there to dose. OR you can leave the dose on a saucer for self dosing.
(Animals detect the dose and know if they need it, with very few exceptions.)
* If a particular F potency seems to do nothing, dose it a few times, maybe three, and go to the next one.
* Usually all sign of illness is gone after 233C, and it pays to use all till 233C, and if symptoms still remain (unusual if they do) then continue to 377C.
Notes:
* I find that 377C is sometimes needed in cancers and other serious functional disruptions, and in old individuals with very damaged immune systems and longterm chronic conditions.
* If an aggravation is going to happen, it is usually with higher potencies like 55C or more and it happens rarely, but can be hours after the dose, eg four hours later.
* If an aggravation happens it is easily moderated by Bach Rescue Remedy, one or more doses at 5 min intervals. Then you need to dose less often of course.
The above approach is easy to do and consistently gives good results.
It is individualized as all homeopathy must be, but there are principles that are easy to follow.
Namaste,
