Subject: Re: Arndt Schulz Law
I have a question which is directed mostly at those with knowledge about
using low potencies, particularly of endocrine sarcodes. I don't know very
much about this methodology, so please correct me if I've made any wrong
assumptions.
The Arndt Schulz law seems to be used as the framework for the posology --
small doses stimulate, moderate doses regulate, larger doses inhibit -- and
this is transferred to homeopathic potency, such that eg. a 4C is used to
stimulate, a 7C to regulate and a 9C to inhibit the activity of the
endocrine gland in question.

I would state the rule with a slight variation in language. I believe it would be preferrable to state that a little tonifies, a little more sedates, a more still will paralize the organism. Further that the consequence is co-equally dependent upon the status of the organism at the time of administration of a remedy. If the organism is in a state of stimulation then a remedy which has a stimulating action may tend to sedate the organism, and too much of it will paralyze the organism.
