Hi,

I've been told that you just *know* when a homeoapthy treatment is working. I am currently trying to find my similimum. Will there always be some reaction to a similimum remedy taken at 30c (provided it is not antidoted)? Or is it possible to have no reaction to similimum at this level, and yet react to the same remedy at, say, 10M?

Will treatments always "take" at 30C?

The answer is nO.
Each person -each case is looked at as an indiv. you cant generalize like that.
for a symptom to subside;
1-well indicated remedy needs to be prescribed(out of a possible 3,000)
2-well indicated potency (50,000 possible potency-remedy options)
3- proper casetaking needs to be analysed
4-follow up monotoring done ,the second prescription is almost as complex as the first prescription
5-miasmatic predispositions considered
6-iatrogenic causefactors need addressing

for a CURE
one must follow "herings law of cure"
a symptoms may resolve but is this "suppression",and if it is suppression there is NO cure and Hering law has NOT been addressed.
So there is more to a homeopathic prescription than just taking a remedy at 30c potency....................................

"I am currently trying to find my similimum"
Its wonderfull you are looking into Homeopathy But-
Sorry its most likely NOT going to happen via "self" prescribing.
Homeopaths are trained for years for a reason............................................ .................................................. ......

Gina, I am currently trying to find treatment for a chronic condition under the care of a very skilled homeopath, but it isn't easy to find similimum. Have already tried about 15 polychrests.

depends on who you listen to.some wil say that certain remedies work at much higher potencies.it would be foolish to take merc. sol at a low potency[3x-6x]-actually downwright dangerous.Try to find a good homeopath whose main interest is same.MD'sare fine -as long as he has good references and practiced for a no. of years[just my personal opinion]. Best of luck.

Dear Mogwai

in my experience it is not correct to say that it will always take at 30C but a simillimum at any potency shall respond in the form of aggrevation or immediate ammelioration.

I totally agree with you that as long as the simillimum is correct, any potency will provoke an aggravation or produce an amelioration; however, according to one of my favorite authors, if a person with an advanced state of tuberculosis happens to fit a phosphorus sim. and is given a high dilution i.e.200c or higher it may cause an extreme haemorrage that will be life threatening,same author suggests 7 to 12c. Thank you,best regards,Fredric

Dear Fredric
would you kindly tell me know the name of the author you have reffered in you mail. Thank you for the reference.
Best regards,
Shibli

The name of the author is[was} Tyler. She worked at the Royal London Homeopathic Hospital for 42 years,I believe she died in 1943.Hope this helps you. best regards,Fredric

if simillimum is really correct - 30C should give at least *some* very clear sign. no doubt about that. and it should stick longer - may be months - for a single dose. follow dr prafull vijayakar methods for posology/case follow up and use morrison's desktop guide + radar keynotes version 4 / tinus smits practical mat. med to confirm the remedy. I find that a 200C (SBL, india) remedy - if really the correct simillimum for a chronic case lasts at least 7 months (7-8 months). my experience: wrong remedy/partial similia 200C does not show hering's laws in action and the effect clears up in about 2 months. rajan sankaran theories (with due respect) do not help at all. dr manish agarwala
