I'm waiting, but so far I haven't heard a word from you about the "rote prescription"
of Carc. 30C, 200C and 1M in a 24 hour period! Such a prescription makes no sense to me, since neither consideration of the patient, nor patient response played any role in it, hence it is applied regardless of who the patient is; which I think is what you've been complaining about vociferously of late, so why stop now?

First of all, Shirl, please know this post is nothing to do with you or your case. Ok?
Snoopy, I agree with you about this type of rote prescribing. It sounds like nonsense to me, I have expressed that sentiment before on this BB. If I felt I had to resort to prescribing Carcinosin in that schedule, I would admit personal lack and defeat and give up practising or search truer methods. (There now, feel better
) It's my impression that when neo-Kentian constitutional prescribers have a heavy usage and reliance on Carcinosin it is because there is a problem with percieving the case accurately. As you'd know Carcinosin is a remedy that, whilst having its individual features, does really tend to look like a lot of other polychrests - so it conveniently fills gaps in proper casetaking and this is a trap into which inadequate or inexperienced homoeopaths are in danger of falling.
This Carcinosin schedule has been criticised on the Minutus e-list on numerous occasions. The advice and cautions given by several different experienced practitioners have fallen on deaf ears it seems. The rationale given is that it was taught in a particular homeopathic college, therefore it must be OK.
I don't have personal experience with this schedule, and frankly, do not read many of Ricky's posts as her homoeopathic experiences seem so vastly different and contrary to my own practice, I find them largely uneducational and irrelevant. On the other hand, I do have real life experience with the overuse of low potency prescribing and I feel that what I have to say in this regard does matter. I am about as tired of repeating these cautions and sounding negative and critical, as no doubt you are reading them. Anyway, this is a discussion forum so let's continue to share our mutual passion for homoeopathy and continue to develop our knowledge and skills.
