Pat, you did not mention if the remedies were taken together, or whether (if they were split) you had consultations in between (symptom changes) that lead your homeopath to a new prescription. I would be suspect of taking bell 200, 2-3 times daily especially if the dose was not changed in anyway. Certainly if all the remedies were taken together, how could anyone gauge response to anyone remedy (would severly muddle the case). If no consultation upon yielding new symptoms, how could anyone possibly guess that Nat m is sure to follow bell etc. You need to question the regime to your homeopath and look for satisfactory answers that will allow you to understand his/her's process. Good luck.
