dry dose or wet dose..how many pills….?

[Carol Orr]

Is there a difference if you take one pill or three pills as a dose? Would the
three pills of same remedy be considered a different potency as just one pill
or the same dose?

I recently took some cannibis oil in a tea for a bad cough. While it helped my
cough I had a bad reaction…old pains in back came back, eczema
appeared…emotionally down…Years ago I had bad reactions to smoking the
stuff….excessive urination. I can't remember why I took thuja but It stopped
the waking up every two hours to pee in two days. Since this was over 20 years
ago…I'm wondering if starting with dry dose of thuja using three pills would
be different dose than I took in the 90s of just one pill. Or should I be
doing the water dosing right off the bat? Has enough time passed in-between
with other remedies here and there mean on some level that this is the first
time I'm taking the thuya? I may still be under the influence of the tea I
made yesterday but I didn't feel "high".

After 20 years, I would certainly not worry about repeating the dose!

Re whether the size-of-dose matters. In my experience (and that of many), *usually* one pill is not significantly different dose than 3, but there are caveats:

- it seems that LM potencies are more dose-sensitive than C or X potencies; and

- for some particularly sensitive people, or with a remedy that a person is particularly sensitive to, the size-of-dose *can* matter, even at that very small level of one-vs-3. But usually not (in my experience; others’ will vary).

One thing, though: If a single pellet “works”, then taking more will definitely not “work better” — though my own experience has been that I might *feel* the dose kick in more strongly initially (which I liked), but within a day or a few, there was no difference at all between a single pellet, and the 5 - 15 tiny (poppyseed sized) pellets that I had been instructed to take. (I know this will curdle some people’s blood.)

Also — potency and dose are separate factors: A stronger dose (e.g. more pellets) does *not* equal a higher potency.

A potency, is just that, a potency. Another way to define it, more modern, would be that it is a "bolus" of information that you deliver to your body/mind physiology.

The dose, the amount you are taking, would represent the intensity with which you deliver that information. If you ask me my phone number, I can speak normally, I can barely whisper, I can yell in your ear or use a loudspeaker: I will still give you the same information, but with some methods you will not understand it, with others it will hurt you.

The advantage of a liquid dose is that you can start low dose if you are worried about its effects and repeat and increase the number of drops you take until you reach the desired effect...it is called titration in chemistry.

Does that help?

I love this explanation can I use it in my seminars?

Since the dose can be so variable, assuming the difference in dose is minor (not a water bottle full or remedy.), frequency is where I regulate the remedy.
