Dear Dany,

Inimical relationships are disruptive ; but yet it all depends upon the individual in question. Caust before phos have an inimical/follow well relationship and phos to caust have a inimical relationship; symptoms and circumstances dictating which.If torn between caust or phos and feel that it is definitely 1 or the other , then give caust 1st.Trust the symptoms to guide; always will; yet we do not always see so clearly.

You can give an inimical remedy without a bridge or an antidote , if ample time is allowed , allowing to the duration of the remedy given; also considering if there was a response or not. If need to give immediate, then antidote (which you may call a haphazard bridge).If torn between 2 remedies and unsure, then pick the remedy that best covers the picture, to your knowledge; but take into consideration your follow-up if no response from 1st; Here is where one must consider what relationship the 2 remedies have; plan accordingly. For example if torn between calc and cal-p (for whatever reason),then give calc-p 1st; because calc will antidote any good you may have received from calc-p, (this is if both have equal statis in this particular case; and when calc seems a better choice but not 70%-100% certain)

I use the word 'diverting' to indicate the carrying away/guiding a group of symptoms (however large) to an area that is in the direction of 'ease'. Antidoting is stopping all action at a particular point, (sometimes to induce a relapse/cease action).

Again, symptoms dictate our choices.
