GM.
It seems when I post after you, you take it as an attack on you. This is not the case, as I post not for or against anyone here, but for the benefit of the patient. I quarrel with no-one and who cares if 30000 French homoeopaths think always in terms of quarrel. I am pretty sure that not all share you views. I give my experience and nothing more. Hahnemann warns since the second edition of the organon against the homoeopathic drug disease, when he had nothing but low potencies. That is what is MY concern. If your experience is different, you should write a revision of the Organon, for that where the idea comes from.
If you read my posts well you have seen that i am never an advocate of repetition in any potency and a case of scarlet fever, where I would repeat for instance belladonna in a 30c because it is necessary, has so far not yet been presented. So I stick with what I have been taught and because it works, which is confirmed by experience. He who cures is right and that is my concern.

The drug disease comes from the excessive use of any drug in any potency and thus it is perfectly possible that the symptoms are produceed like that. Also I believe in and trust my remedies, and I have often seen that symptoms apparently not covered by the remedy were cured. So the baby's remedy par excellence, Calc.c., is quite capable of performing beyond our conception. In practice we see sometimes that a peculiarity is not part of the remedy, while everything else fits like the proverbial glove. That one thing will also be cured by the remedy and so we have 'cured symptoms' in the MM. Hahnemann was a great advocate of this, because if it was passed on, others might confirm and so it would be integrated i n the mm.
His MM had different notations. "cured, confirmed and definitely cured" were some of them. Later hughes wanted to clear the MM of that, because he considered such data invalid. he also cleared it of any provings with high potencies, as he did not believe in them either. 3 to 4 doses over 6 years is perfectly alright and the constitutional because it is the closest to your real remedy also clears up more than we generally expect. I have seen old injuries clear up under the constitutional remdy, which were responding to arnica only partially. I have also seen that babies benefit from it, because they share much of the constitution with the mother.
So have no fears.
