Dear Mia,

You said, "I'm a little confused when you stated in no.5 right remedy: go to 2nd cup. What do you mean by that?"

Sorry for the confusion. It means the right remedy was given but in an excessive amount, so it's aggravating. The person's complaint is aggravating. Give less often or take a tsp. from the cup you're dosing in and put it in a 2nd cup of water, so that it's more dilute, and hopefully gentler.

You also asked, "Also, putting low potency liquid remedy on sugar pellets be still considered LM prescribing?"

When you buy your remedy tubes or bottles from the health food store or pharmacy, the pellets have already been treated as you described above: a liquid has been dropped on the pellets and now they are medicated.
There would be no need to repeat that; and that would not make them LM's; but, you could administer them as per the LM method: You could drop a 6C pellet in a 4 oz. amber bottle, succuss 10 times, put a tsp. from the bottle into a 4 oz. dosage cup, stir, and take a tsp. from the cup as your dose,
and you would do this 2 to 3 times a day, doing the 10 succussions before each dose, and, assuming this was a chronic and not an acute case, you would get better results than if you were just giving the remedy dry. Faster results.

Hans has quoted one of the most important paragraphs in the Organon. He is saying that the real homeopathic aggravation comes at the end of treatment, not at the beginning. We refer to it as, "Return of old symptoms."

If you get an aggravation at the beginning of treatment, it's because you've made a mistake in your potency selection or amount of repetitions; the ideal is to have no aggravation at the beginning in a chronic case, that's what Hahnemann is saying here. And you won't get one, he says, if you prescribe as above--low potency, in water, succussions before each dose, repeat as needed. (Low potencies generally require frequent repetitions.)

After the patient is doing better, suddenly an old symptom will return to the surface, or a rash may appear. This is the real homeopathic aggravation, Hahnemann says, it is a sign that the person is healing, the remedy is working. The vital force is throwing the illness out to the surface where it can do no harm. The patient should report feeling much better at this point. However, the so-called aggravation at the beginning of treatment often leaves the patient in a pitiable state. Hahnemann says, stop the remedy and if you prescribed in a low dose, this state will go away.
Prescribing a better-chosen remedy will also make this pitiable state go away.

I hope this wasn't too long-winded an explanation for you!
