Hi Sheri,
LIquid potencies (C's or LM's) are great for repetition, but can
cause very severe aggravations as well, especially in sensitive
people. But the dry dose in single pill can actually be the best in
very sensitive people as against liquid potencies. Though if one
knows how to dilute the liquid potency (2nd, 3rd cup etc), one can
avoid the aggravations as well.

Dry Pill repetition has worked very well in India for the last 20
years as well.
So is there any reason to go completely against it - is this a dogma
one has to follow to become a reliable homeopath?

I haven't been following this discussion very closely, but I"m
intrigued that this seems to have become the criteria for judging a
good homeopath as you have advised below.
thanks,
Leela

Dear Dr. Leela,

In my practice I seldom is ever, use dry doses. When I did use dry doses, I
had nothing but serious aggravations (especially in the days when the "one
pellet or 1000 pellets makes no difference" was what I used) many of them
never resolved.

Once I learned about the medicinal solutions, I seldom see aggravations that
last more than a few hours and are always much milder! The beauty of the
medicinal solution is the freedom to adjust the size of the dose to suit the
patient! This is the ART of Homeopathy!

It seems to me, that everyone is hung up on ignoring the many years
Hahnemann devoted to finding a method that would STOP HUMANITY'S SUFFERING!
and we have decided that our way (whatever that way may be) is best!

I don't understand the desire to "improve and modernize Homeopathy" when the
good old ways that Hahnemann left us work beautifully, when we commit to
learning and using them properly!

There is nothing wrong for Sherri who deals with people on a regular basis
and makes recommendations for those seeking Homeopathic help, to recommend
the best, most subtle way to cure a patient! Are we not supposed to first
DO NO HARM??

Maybe in your practice or in your area, you do not see on a daily basis the
harm that is being done to many patients with the excessively high potencies
and excessively dry large doses being used on a daily basis. I know I do,
regularly and frankly it makes me mad!

As an avid student of Hahnemann's Advanced Methods, it really bothers me
that his work is being ignored by so many today when there is no reason or
excuse not to be familiar with the many ways in which he avoided unnecessary
suffering! It seems to me Modern Homeopaths have chosen to ignore
Hahnemann's life work and continue to use antiquated protocols that in the
end, cause both Homeopathy and the patients a great deal of unnecessary
suffering; while at the same time keep pushing to modernize Homeopathy!

Just my .02 worth!

Sheri,
the reason I mention this is because there is a school of thought
here that continues to accept dry dose repetition when multiple doses
are indicated and they seem to get very good results with hardly any
clinical problems. (I am aware of the Aphorisms in the 6th edition
where HAhnemann denounces this).

only,

Why not view it as different tools, suited for different situations?
Like Leela, I have *not* seen problems from dry doses (perhaps the
prescribing style I was taught, is more cautious than the one you had
learned... I don't know, but it is curious that you saw "nothing but
serious aggravations", whereas I've seen almost none from dry doses,
and the worst aggs I've seen were from LMs!

Why not make LMs an *addition* to the toolchest, and once folks have
*learned* both, they can decide when to use which?

Hi Sheri,
Thanks for your thoughts!
Your expereince is worth seriously pondering over.

Homeopaths from Dhawle's ICR group IN Mumbai (all very CLASSICAL
homeopaths) tend to use repeated dry potencies very often for Chronic
cases. They have a method of prescribing. This method has also been
documented by many older homeopaths.
Dr. Sanjay Modi gives a clearer historical perpective on this with
the help of the "Biological Law" or Arndt's Law"Hope I got that one
right, in his book that I reviewed and posted the link on one of the
lists earlier. (I think there is a technique to this type of
prescribing that requires a thorough PRIOR understanding of
susceptibility, organicity of disease, sensitivity, etc which is done
based on the history and before starting on dosing.

I have often wondered how their patients dont' have the type of
aggravations you speak of, even autistic and vaccine damaged children.
I personally would not repeat like this, but then they are quite
satisfied with the responses to this dosing method.

I agree though, that mindless repetition of unindicated remedies,
partial remedies, wrong potencies, etc, can have terrible effects.
Whether dry doses or water doses. But I just keep my mind open
because I know that there's a whole lot I don't yet know with various
dosing options.

****This is exactly the same for C's as well - at least the low to
medium potencies. 6C, 30C, 200C. I only use 1M and above if I've
already exhausted teh lower potencies.
It may be a little rash to start on a 10M right away unless one is
very sure of the sensitivity of teh patient or else absolutely
positive that the remedy is the similimum .

****Where ever is this idea from? I usually know within a few hours
to a couple of days whether I'm on the right track with the C or a
dry potency. IE: Whether I should repeat a C dose in a few days, a
week, 2 weeks or month. ONE can observe the action of the dose with
frequent followup.
Depending of course on whether this is an acute problem or a Chronic
one. HEnce I mean, it depends on what one has had good and reliable
experience with analysing in the past that counts.
