Minutus

Some local Homeopath says that potencies 30x & 200 c can be taken as much as
three times a day with out harm.

Please advice.

Dear Manjo

The question of when the next dose should be given is one that has perplexed
many a practitioner.

If you read Kent etc, you soon learn that the Next dose should be given ONLY
when the effect of the first or previous dose has started to wear off. This
means careful patient management and patient training.

As they say, there are horses for courses so in some cases (acutes) you may
need to repeat your dose every few minutes and in others once every three
months (or longer) would be sufficient.

If you give remedies in too quick a frequency you spoil your case.
(If you continue to use the starter on an engine that is still running you
damage the engine.!!!!)

The other piece of advice is that two doses should rarely be the same. So
if you need to repeat a 30 or a 200, put it in a plastic water bottle and
between each dose bang the bottle 10 times on the floor and give the pt a
small sip. (Works beautifully in acutes)

This is why LM series are so wonderful and as Hn said it is his perfected
method (Shame Kent et al never had a chance to get to read Org 6. (Bigger
SHAME that many a practising Homeopath has NEVER read it!)).
You can use LMs in both acute and chronic diseases.

I have seen that some 'colleagues' will prescribe 30 tonight, 200 tomorrow
morning and 1M tomorrow night - or 30 tonight and 30 tomorrow morning. Ask
them why and the logic behind it and there is none! (If a stalled car has
started, do you keep pushing it??)

Do not forget that homeopathy works best on the MINIMUM dose and that this
minimum does can be ZERO. So do not be shy about using it!

To sum up, only repeat a dose until you have evaluated the effects of the
first dose. If in doubt WAIT.
(Someone taught me a very good lesson. When you are selecting a remedy, try
and think that you are on a jury and you are about to find someone guilty or
not guilty. Only prescribe when you are sure. If there is doubt, wait and
check some more!!)

During my training days, a lady SEPIA walked in the college clinic - she had
been seeing another Hom who had given her Sepia 30 daily. Well she was
'Sepia' and was proving it (poor woman)! It took a lot of time and effort
to help her.

Good Curing and healing.

Hi all,

The point that Soroush mentioned is really important
and that's why we should know the previous
prescriptions of the patients that come from other
homoeopaths; otherwise we may make homoeopath-made
Sepias more Sepia and homoeopath-made Lycopodiums more
Lycopodium!!!!

I remember one of my colleagues that before studying
homoeopathy was treated?!!! by a homoeopath with
Arg-nit 1M, 3 times a day!! for more than 3 months!!!!
He didn't know that why he had begun having so much
anxiety,...(and other Arg-nit features)!! It really
took a long time for his recovery from this artificial
disease.

It is worth-nothing that artificial diseases cannot be
cured by the law of simillimum. Only natural diseases
can be replaced by our simillar, transient medicinal
diseases.

Best,

Ardavan

Dear Manoj,

I think that these quotes may help you.

In aphorism 247 of Organon, Samuel Hahnemann writes:

'It is impractical to repeat the same unchanged dose
of a remedy once, not to mention its frequent
repetition (and at short intervals in order not to
delay the cure). The vital principle does not accept
such unchanged doses without resistance, that is,
without other symptoms of the medicine to manifest
themselves than those similar to the disease to be
cured, because the former dose has already
accomplished the expected change in the vital
principle and a second dynamically wholly similar,
unchanged dose of the same medicine no longer finds,
therfore, the same conditions of the vital force. The
patient may indeed be made sick in another way by
receiving other such unchanged doses, even sicker than
he was, for now only those symptoms of the given
remedyremain active which were not homoeopathic to the
original disease, hence no step towards cure can
follow, only a true aggravation of the condition of
the patient. But if the succeeding dose is changed
slightly every time, namely potentized somewhat higher
(aphorisms 269-270) then the vital principle may be
altered without difficulty by the same medicine (the
sensation of natural disease diminishing) and thus the
cure brought nearer.'

Also in the footnote 133 he writes,'We ought not even
with the best chosen homoeopathic medicine, for
instance one pellet of the same potency that was
beneficial at first, to let the patient have a second
or third dose, taken dry......'

In some cases that are very hyposensitive or the
remedy is not accurate, these adverse effects of large
doses and repetitions may not be so apparent. If the
remedy is homoeopathically well selected, it is so
dangerous to use large doses or repeat without
changing the potency specially in dry doses.

Hahnemann in aphorism 276 writes:'For this reason, a
medicine, even though it may be homoeopathically
suited to the case of disease, does harm in every dose
that is too large, and in strong doses it does more
harm the greater its homoeopathicity and the higher
the potency selected, and it does much more injury
than any equally large dose of a medicine that is
unhomooepathic and in no respect adapted to the morbid
state (allopathic).'

Most of the 'acute' books that recommend such high
potencies and repetitions are mostly based on
one-sided presriptions and are not based on true
principles of homoeopathy and prescribing on correct
totality of symptoms. This type of prescription may
also cause a kind of suppression.

Did this help you?
