Minutus

This is something I was taught at college. the IM and 10M are gentle
potencies and the 200M and 50M more dynamic in that they work quickly and
powerfully. They should not be given to a person who is sensitive to
remedies or to the frail elderly. The dynamic potencies will act quickly
and are more likely to cause a healing agg than the gentler potencies.

I am sure someone can say this far more eloquently than me and probably
quote sources!!

There may be some bit of truth here, especially the part about "taught in
college"

More important would be the experience of actually trying these theories
out, to see if there is a sort of 'octave' relationship.

I haven't enough cases with 1M vs 200C to say anything definitive, but it is
my opinion so far, that these sorts of generic 'rule of thumb' which people
are taught in college should be basically ignored in favor of carefully
assessing individual sensitivity; then selecting potency appropriate to
sensitivity vs. severity of complaint.

I think it reasonable to assume that 1M might be gentle in comparison to
10M -- but in my limited experience with 200C and 1M, I think it a mistake
to mix-up these two 'octaves' of the centessimal potencies and say that 200C
is 'more dynamic' than 1M --- I think it is *NOT* .. rather the reverse.

Would you think it a fair inquiry to wonder if the higher potency would
attend to find reflection in a different component of functional medicine
and/or tissue reflection than a lower potency? Your thinking w/or w/o
quotes is appreciated

Are you sure you've got that right, i was taught that its alternate, that
30, 1m, 50m are gentle & 200 & 10m are dynamic.
Not sure if you're right on the 10m & 50m?

I use mostly LM's as I've mentioned before.

However- I do have +/- 100 remedies in 200c & 1M, and I do use
occasionally, and more often I test a range of potencies on hand .. 30c /
200c / 1M / LM01 after remedy selection, when considering posology- using
ART skills
http://www.simillimum.com/Thelittlelibr ... s/ART.html

Development of these skills give you a "window" onto the reactivity of the
VF to remedy/potency.

So, in terms of personal practical (subjective) evidence on which to base my
statement -yes, I have what I consider to be sufficient evidence. (else I
might not have offered the statement.)

In terms of some imaginary plethora of cases treated to some sort of
impossible peer reviewed clinical trials comparing 200c & 1M on the same
individual independant of interference/disturbance which would inevitably be
suspected in giving first one then the other-
No.

Nor do I consider "what they taught in college" to be evidence of any sort,
and in fact, I am finding it more and more suspect thanks to various
contributions on this & other lists.

Colleges of any sort, but especially Homeopathic colleges should be teaching
fundamentals in such a way that they *ARE* fundamentals - that is to say,
they become the solid foundation upon which each budding homeopath's
understanding of homeopathy is built.

Homeopathy is an empirical science and art of healing.
This is, perhaps the first underlying principle.
The Medicine of Experience.

Until and unless one grounds the words from the lectures at college into
functional observation, confirming (or denying) the principles and factoids
offered, one is adrift from the mooring provided by fundamental experience.

By participating on these lists over the past 6yrs, it has become clear that
some colleges are turning out students who begin practicing while yet unable
to properly follow a case in terms of evaluating remedy reactions and
appropriately managing posology. Certainly this is something which is a
lifelong journey, as is every other part of becoming as good at homeopathy
as possible.. but there should be some foundations set in place by the
colleges, else the neglected but enthusiastic graduates are left attempting
to build a career in homeopathic cure on muddy slippery slopes.
