Faisal, the reason I don't use LMs is the same reason I don't usually use low potencies. The person taking them has to be very conscious of how they are doing in order to repeat them at the right time. If some things get better and other things get worse, then they need to understand Hering's Law in order to know if it's time to repeat or if they need to make another appointment to reevaluate the remedy choice. It's also hard for them to know how long is enough time to wait until things stabalize. I find that as a homeopathic patient, even with my knowledge, I get impatient, so just think how much worse that is for a lot of people who have spent all their lives taking allopathic medicines several times a day and sometimes getting immediate results. Most of my clients do not have the awareness and the understanding of homeopathy to repeat them properly. My experience has been that they get many more aggravations from improper dosing than from taking a single high potency. If I could talk to each client several times a day and monitor how they are doing, it would be easy. But I don't have the time to do that. The right remedy will generally cure regardless of potency. I have less aggravations with high potencies and the clients find them MUCH easier to use, so that's how I prescribe. Occassionally I will use a low potency or an LM, but only under special circumstances. Homeopaths have had excellent results for several hundred years using high potencies, so given all of the above reasons, I will continue to use them instead of LMs.
