Yes, thanks so much!!
Any thoughts--since the substance of lac-m *includes* the substance of
lac-h, I would have assumed that lac-m could "stand in" for lac-h in
any case calling for lac-h--but perhaps not?
Shannon

Thanks, Joy and Patricia -- very interesting and useful. Rosemary

Dear Shannon, my thoughts are I should have bought Patricia's book

I would link the 'incarnation' theme with an inability to conceive and
the consequences of this (a factor for a case that I am most interested
in). Also Farokh Master talks about infertility and Lac hum in his book
about milks.

I still think they can be 'stand alone' rx and not sure how important
the complementary factor is.

It is the element of 'damage' that I would consider to be the crucial
difference and "not to be observed lest one perceive the true ugliness
inside" is very important I think and something to explore further.

The milks are such an important group of rx it seems for present day
living, I seem to be using them more and more. Best wishes, Joy

Thanks Joy,
Yes, I think I'll have to buy the book...
One thing I've been wondering about the milks--if someone does not seem
at all "animal-like"--no issues around sexuality, competition, etc.,
but seeming more of plant or mineral kingdom--is that a strike again
prescribing a milk, or not necessarily? What do you think or find?
Shannon

Dear Shannon, I can think of a number of cases that I've prescribed
for, turns out to be the wrong rx and the simillimum ends up being a
milk rx and putting aside I could have done better earlier on in the
case I think one strong characteristic of the milks is a suppression of
the true emotions and thus they resemble many other rx. There seem to
be so many rich emotional sx that you feel the case to be
straightforward but there is this cover up - one that Patricia referred
to - and you have a situation similar to Carcinosin, a rx that also
resembles so many others. So I wouldn't always expect the obvious
'animal like' persona. Best wishes, Joy
