I'm just a lay homeopath and this is a difficult subject, but just in case
you don't get another answer:

HOMEOPATHIC (whether or not a treatment is homeopathic) depends first of all
on the principle Dr. Hahnemann elaborated (though did not discover) of LIKE
CURES LIKE, i.e., the symptoms of the patient and the symptoms that can be
caused by the remedy being identical. The symptoms of the remedy are drawn
from what we call "provings" and/or from known cases of poisonings, say with
Nux vomica (poison nut, I believe the common name is--or strychnine, maybe
is the chemical).

A second principle is the MINIMUM DOSE. In the 6th edition of the Organon (a
must-read for anyone seriously interested in homeopathy, preferably for the
first time in a more approachable translation such as Kunzli et al.), Dr.
Hahnemann stated that he had found that with the VERY dilute and very much
succussed potency LM, the remedy, given in water and so even further diluted
on dosing, could be repeated without impeding the progress of the
patient--but NOT every day, NOT by rote. Only repetition when indicated by
the patient's reactions to that remedy. In the 5th edition of the Organon,
Dr. Hahnemann describes doing the same thing with a very dilute solution of
a regular "c" potency, the so-called "watery dose".

To learn more about this or correct anything I have inadvertently
mis-stated, see Dr. Little's site (Simillimum.com)on LMs and much more or
www.drluc.com on the "watery dose" among of course many other informative
and educational websites. t



I am a bit puzzled now. it is early days in my learning about homepathy.


in the fibromyalgia trial above. Patients took their LMpotencies
every day throughout the trial. Did this
make the results wrong?

Can anyone help explain?
