Dear all:

At my humble knowledge, I thought homeopathic dinamization -i.e. succusions- are variable and depending on the kind of dilution. DH dilutions would be shake about 10 to 20 times; CH dilutions about 20 times; LM dilutions 100 times; and K dilutions is unknown for me.
But days ago, talking to an Homeopathic Lab expert, she told me they shake 100 times, to all dilutions. She confessed to me they do so because it's a lab decission and not following any Pharmacopea directive.
Well, I have a question to all of you: Please, do you know or can you ask to your homeopathic labs how many succussion they shake to the different homeopathic dilutions?
I think this is an important subject, but it seems to be an insignificat matter.
Thank you in advance
Best regards
Andrés

No, that's not insignificant, but I don't have time to properly address it.

Seeing you're Spanish, I can, however, tell you that one of the only people in the entire world who makes our drugs in the proper way and by hand (no less) is in some remote village of Portugal. I unfortunately don't remember where. It was a little story reported by Julian Winston in HOMEOPATHY TODAY about 20 years ago. Most of the pharmacies utilize fluxion potentization. I avoid all of those. What this guy had to say reminded me of Jenichen. He was a giant of a man with fists of iron, and the effect of his potentization by hand was that the people downstairs suffered their ceiling and walls shaking from his strikes against his leather-bound copy of the ORGANON. Those are the kinds of people to buy our drugs from, and I'm pretty sure he was German.

PS. Dynamization, sir, but that indeed is the preferred word for it rather than potentization because our medicines impart a dynamis ("force") to suffering people and animals.

God bless!

Hi Andres

Despite each lab following it's own number of succussions, homeopathic remedies of different manufacturers still work.

A 30c may in reality, as per the strict guidelines given by Hahn contains, say 'X' force/energy (whatever you call it.)

The result of deviating in succussions while maintaining the dilution ratios may result in some manufacturers' potencies being 20c or 40c as per Hahnemann's thinking.

They still are very far off in the octaves either from 6c or 200c, but are decisively closer to one another. That is the reason one need not break his head to find out about the 'actual' potency he is giving. 10c this way that way really doesn't matter.

Hi, Hahnemannian!!

Thank you for your comment!
Certainly I remember the Jenichen story and I have told it many times.
About the use of "dinamization" and "potentization" I respect your opinion, although in Spain we use these words indistinctly.

Hi, Murthy!!
Thank you too for your comment!
As you say, may be better don't break my head thinking this matter, but I tried to discover the difference between the use remedies from one lab or another. Do you think may be there differences in the effects?

Best regards to both f you
Andrés

Hi andres

I generally use the 'Indian' made medicines, and don't find much of a difference. I think any reputed manufacturer's medicine should work.

Hi, Murthy!

Thank you for your comment.
All homeopathic remedies -prescribed by me till now- have worked rightly. I have no complaints. All the labs here in Spain make homeopathics medications in a very professional way. But I only seek a relation between theory and reality.

Best regards
