When you say, "every time I try to antidote it..." what do you mean, exactly? What are you referring to, camphor and coffee? It shows that we can't rely on these methods.

It seems you are apparently proving silica. It was given in too high a potency, it's not a bad remedy, per se. Our motto in homeopathy is "the minimum dose", but no one takes it seriously. There is nothing "minimum" about a 1M.

Hopefully this will act as a warning to anyone reading this thread. Just because the average person can take a 1M and nothing happens, that doesn't mean that hyper-sensitive people don't exist and aren't out there.

If you start with low potencies and the patient doesn't respond, you can always go up. But if you start high and get an aggravation, how do you go "down"? You can't. So you've caused a crisis unnecessarily.

I would seriously recommend that everyone do a search for and read "The Aggravation Zapper" by Diane Fuller, otherwise, you have no way to manage a case like Taimur's. This happens a lot in practice, unintentional provings and aggravations and you can't just hide from the patient when he or she keeps calling for help, though this is what I've seen happen many times.

Do you know what high potencies are for? Acutes, injuries, viruses, burns.... Give a 1M to a person with a head injury or snake bite and watch the magic unfold. A person with chronic disease, on the other hand, has an entirely different energy. The "disease" is slow and plodding. The energy of the disease doesn't match the energy of a 1M. It's more in keeping with the energy of a 6C three times a day, or a 12C once a day (and by the way, in water with succussions before each dose. See the Organon #247).
