Dear Karin,

Yes, go up one step at a time. In fact, if she is improving so much on LM/1, you may even choose to fill the bottle back up when it gets down to the bottom and keep going with it. If the vital force is saying, "I like this potency"
why change it? We shouldn't follow rules for their own sake, we should follow the patient and take our cue from his response.

You can try going every 4 days with this patient or go to a 2nd cup as described earlier.

According to the Organon, you'll know you're finished with a remedy when an old symptom returns. This is what Hahnemann calls the true homeopathic aggravation; it comes at the end of treatment when the body has recovered so much vitality that it can now throw out a previously suppressed symptom. So, watch for this in your case and tell your patient that it will be a good sign when it happens.
