Yes well, we actually have the delusion that people with no or little prior understanding of homoeopathy can differentiate between a homoeopathic aggravation, a dissimilar aggravation, and an accessory symptom. Well it's not really all that surprising, a good deal of homoeopaths have difficulty too! This happens when we have a laconic attitude to prescribing that goes along the lines of...Oh just give Rx 6C a try and see what happens, 10 succussions, 2 or 3 times a day, stop when you start to feel better, or stop if you start getting better but you're actually feeling worse because that's an aggravation, or that symptom is a return of an old symptom - have you ever had a head cold or a bad period in your life before? Yes, well that's what it is then, Oh you feel like **** ? Sorry you must've taken too many doses. Take this new Remedy and if that doesn't work try X, Y or Z. Yes, good old mechanistic standard dosing, no individualization, no sensitivity scale, no worries. NOT!
