SPLIT DOSE / Was 6th Ed Prescribers
Posted: Mon Apr 25, 2005 11:35 am
Dear Colleagues
Having read the exchanges I have concluded that the term SPLIT DOSE is
completely misleading. It should therefore NOT be used.
In homoeopathy, you cannot split a dose. Each dose stands or fails on its
own merit.
My understanding of the methods of prescribing is:
1- X or C Dry tablet
2- X or C Dry tablet dissolved in water and only one dose given until the
next consultation.
3- X or C Dry tablet dissolved in water and succussed and repeated as and
when assessed and deemed required - as in the treatment of acutes.
4- Q or LM remedies which is again on the same theme as 3 above.
Based on STRONG advise of Hn - for best effect a remedy should be repeated
ONLY when needed (not after a passage of some fixed number of hours) and its
potency through succussion should be changed - even if ever so slightly.
If you disagree with the above, please give references from the Organon 6th
Ed.
Kind regards
Soroush
