Chris,

I feel the biggest flaw in our education is understanding remedy reactions. Inexperienced homoeopaths (and inexperience seems to bear little relation to how long you have been in practice) often mistakenly believe after administering a remedy that any reaction is a good reaction.
This is exactly what happened in my case (although there were many other flaws, imo). On the second visit, the practitioner learned that I had had a heavier than normal period (mine had always been quite light: psora = scanty discharges). So, a more knowledgeable homeopath would've realized that this was an unhomeopathic or dissimilar aggravation indicating that the remedy was not the simillimum. Instead, he surmised that since the remedy did something it must be correct, and he proceeded to give it for another year and a half or so in ever increasing potencies, thinking all the time that he had the simillimum.
