I find that when I'm forced to go up that high I probably have the wrong remedy. The thing is, most homeopaths just don't feel "professional" if they don't bring out the "heavy hitters".

If you were my patient, I would drop down to a 6C three times a day in water with "succussions" before each dose, and you'd be surprised at the quick progress you would make, with no aggravations. As the potency wears off, you would go up to a 9C twice a day, 12C once a day, 15C and so on, and I've never had to go over a 30C in a chronic case. People get better real fast. We had a case here recently, Rahul's case, a fear of public speaking--he couldn't believe it; he said, "This can't be, I've only taken the remedy for little over a week--can it possibly be working this fast? I had a 3 hour meeting recently with important people, and I was fine!"

I just happened to listen to a case presented at a conference recently by Timothy Dooley, MD--a colitis case--he started the patient on Oleander 12C once a day. When it wore off, he went up to 12C twice a day. When the 12C wore off he went up to 15C once a day, then 18C once a day, then to 30C once a day, but the patient had already improved dramatically on the 12C once a day--after roughly one to two weeks. It's surprising how well the daily low potencies work, and usually without aggravations, which is of no small importance.
