Lisa - my homeopath is very experienced - she has done Jeremy Sherr Dynamis 2 year course and thinks I should do it but it is sooooo expensive!! I understand what you are saying but if I feel that I have knocked my Rx out through an acute and I have symptoms I think can be alleviated by taking the same remedy again I think I should go with it!!

If I "cure" a patient of their problem and they come back again after a year or so with the same problem returning I find that a dose at the same potency often gets rid of it again. If this doesn't work or the relief is short acting I will go up a potency and that tends to do the trick. At least that is my experience. This is shown in the first quote that Frank gave above.

Thanks Frank and GM, for the suggestions in reading - have Boenninghausen...love him...and don't have Lesser Writings yet, Frank - but it is on order! Sooooooo many books to purchase !

Thanks, Ricky, for that explanation - but I meant if the symptoms had changed - would you still go with the previous remedy that you call 'constitutional' because you found it had worked before.

What you just wrote is in all the books I have been reading - I got that - but what I didn't understand was if one is suffering new symptoms AFTER taking the 'constitutional' then what is the course you would take?

Thanks,
Lisa

Repeating a potence after so long time, shows ignorance, you are to go up a step, then is a cure fully achieved, but using the same potence, has a benefit, the patient returns year after year,with the same complaints, and with fresh money...

Lisa - sorry if I didn't make things too clear. If there are NEW symptoms then a different remedy is needed.

GM - it is the way I was taught. Try the same potency again and then go up if needed.

Thats not in organon at all.

GM- Your knowledge of the Organon being much better than mine I believe you and will consider my motives when prescribing this way in future. Thanks

Ricky. ill do that, and you considder natrium, i did not suggest i to be nasty,or mean, but cause i know what its like..and that is not good, all it was, was that it could benefit you.
And you confirmed by showing all the vital keys to it, unwillingly, afterwards.
But, well, do as you please.
Do only know that it was in order to be helpfull.
Thanks.
GM

Correct! but nowadays you will find several constitutionals in one person.

Just found this when researching Vitiligo!!
----------------------------------------
What is the Constitutional Approach?
What we understand by the Constitutional Approach in homeopathy is nothing but analysis and evaluation of various factors affecting the human constitution to determine the disease diagnosis and the exact treatment in turn. Every case of Vitiligo calls for study of the patient's constitution which includes various aspects of his physical aspects as well as the in-depth study of the mental sphere, such as emotions, psychosocial background, behavior and personality pattern, etc.

The homeopathic remedy selected in every case after such a detail study is called the constitutional medicine, which when administered in the correct dose brings about harmony at the constitutional level, stimulating the normal pigmentation and hence induces normal skin coloration. It will be of interest to note that the homeopathy medicines are essentially oral and not in the form of creams, lotions or any local application on the skin.
