Thanks for your post Chris, I'll chase down the book and website you suggested. I just wish we could spend a semester on LM posology, instead of mentioning it here and there, and never being taught exactly how to go. You can only learn so much from books, we need cases.
Shirley, I agree that homoeopathy has been able to cure with centesimals, and that they are easier to use. But if they offer an opportunity to cure with less chance of aggravation, then I think that it would be helpful for experienced homoeopaths to use them more consistantly, so they can pass that knowledge on. We are so good at new provings and new theories about remedies, but the theories about posology maybe could use a bit more attention from the modern perspective. I mean, Hahnemann was doing it for a reason.

That aside, I guess it is harder for patients to follow. Perhaps I'll try introducing the idea of LM's to my more knowledgeable patients first, the ones who have a decent understanding of how homoeopaths look at cases, and try and build experience that way.
