Snoopy,

Thanks for the further info on Pulsatilla--that sounds like me, all right--and the table of standard dosing for chronic conditions, which is most interesting.

I have the impression that there is a real lack of consensus among contemporary students and practitioners of homeopathy about the dosing and potency issues. Your comments and the separate thread started by Simone confirm that. Fascinating and challenging stuff. I shall have to return to that thread and the link that Simone posted--took a quick look last night and yes indeed, it was a wealth of information, a bit too rich for that late hour!

My unsolicited advice, to you and all the other knowledgeable people here who may happen to read this, after a few years of participating in mailing lists and bulletin boards and reflecting on what they are all about... Don't ever worry too much about any one person who passes through looking to grab a piece of your wisdom/knowledge/experience. Just represent the discipline of homeopathy as precisely and forcefully as you can--that's the important thing. Homeopathy is way underutilized, indeed seems to have been suppressed for many years, in the United States and needs good writers like yourself to defend, clarify and rebuild it.

Thanks again,

Avalon
