"The formerly used name LM-Potency should be avoided because the Latin number LM doesn't mean 50.000 but 950. He doesn't make any other difference between Q- and LM-potencies. Siegfried |

I've also checked in the biography of Samuel Hahnemann by Prof Robert Juette.
At pg 240 Prof Juette added to a phrase "... for what we call LM-potencies today": "The Q-potencies are meant" I'm still on the search how Remedia can claim about the difference between Q- and LM-potencies... Siegfried |

I really hope that I don't bore anyone, but I've found something else:
"To avoid confusion it needs to be pointed out that the terminology around the 50 millesimal potencies has remained inconsistent. It varies depending on the manufacturer, for historical reasons, with some producers using the abbreviation ‘Q’ and others the original name ‘LM-potencies’. The official German pharmacopoeia Homöopathisches Arzneibuch (HAB) allows both names and only makes sure that the manufacturing specifications are consistent. The term ‘Q-potency’ (from Lat. quinquaginta milia = 50,000) that is commonly used today traces back to Jost Künzli von Fimmelsberg (1915–1992). Rudolf Flury (1903–1977), who rediscovered Hahnemann’s 50 millesimal potencies preferred the abbreviation ‘LM’ (from the Roman numerals L for 50 and M for 1,000). ARCANA Dr Sewerin GmbH & Co KG and other manufacturers therefore follow a tradition if they use this name. In the interest of consistency we use ‘Q-potencies’ or ‘50 millesimal potencies’ in the following text (apart from in quotations)." This quote is from "The LM potencies in homoeopathy: From their beginnings to the present day" from IGM Institutsberichte |
