Water Potency Dosing, was Speaking of LMs and animals...
Posted: Tue Mar 28, 2017 6:52 pm
Here is what I share with my patients.............it is different from acutes as you get on a schedule of when you repeat. With acutes you just repeat if no reaction or relapse. But different with chronic.
For Chronic cases - dosing - DIFFERENT than for acutes as I have already sent you.............(same for animals as humans)
I teach the patient how to mix the dry remedy into a water bottle.
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
