I am looking for a good source to find the individual remedies' time of action, i.e. how long does a remedy act once given (assuming it is the similimum).

In particular, I am looking for this information for Tub. and Staph.

Thanks
Claudia

Hi Claudia ,
I've looked in Rehmans' Encyclopedia

Staph - duration says 20-30 days - but doesn't say which potency (???)

Tub avis - no duration listed

Tub Bov (Kent) - duration is not listed either.
it does say this:
tub is best administered in the quiescent state.
(tub is indicated) when sx are constantly changing and well selevted remedies such as Sulph, Psor or Thuj fail to improve and there are frequent attackes of cold and coryza or a fluctuation of temp without any cause.

Tub Denys - no duration listed

Tub Koch - no duration
**********************
Boericke lists:
Staph - duration of 20-30 days, as well.

There is no duration for Tub in Boericke. I understand Tub is very deep and long acting - so maybe no one knows and it is really a case of individuality?


Hope this helps some...it's all I could source for now .

PS Claudia....look in Boericke's MM on Tub - pages 657/8 - and he talks specifically about dosing, in great detail...you might find more info that would help out with your question. It talks about children - and various ailments - potencies, etc....which hints as duration in a sense!

Hi Claudia and LIsa,

I asked GM which potency Rehman's refers to a while ago now.
I've tried to find the post but no luck.
I'm sure he said 1M. Can anyone else remember this ???

Hi Hoppitt ,
I have Rehman's and it didn't say which potency it was referring too. Unless it is something that is universal throughout the book. I shall read the front bits again to determine if that is the case. Otherwise, I don't know how 1M was decided on - perhaps it is from the clinical experiences of people like Boericke who advised not to use it low - as it could be dangerous in certain conditions - or was the Boenninghausen?! Ahhhhh - :razz:,

Here is what I find in the beginning of the book - under the Introduction regarding duration of action:

"Regarding duration of action of the remedy it may be hours, days, months and years depending upon the individual patient for whom the drug was selected. This author experienced the curative action of the drug for years! E.W. Hubbard, my learned teacher, and Pierre Schmidt, her teacher and my teacher also experienced the same fact! Therefore the duration of the action is highly individualistic like the law of individualization! There are some homeopaths who swear by the duration of action of a drug mentioned in tables, and keep off from second prescription in blissful ignorance!

Dr. PS Krishnamurty

Under the Preface - Rehman writes:
"The duration of the action of remedies, although dependent upon many aspects in each individual has been incorporated for readers who may need to refer to it."

Hmmmm - ....this is interesting. Makes sense...I bet a lot of info can be sifted from clinical experience - like in Boericke's MM, Boenninghausen, Kent and others!

To all:
The action of a remedy is seconds to about a few hours (see: par. 161 org), everything after is reaction of the liveforce. Org. par.: 57, 63, 64, 112, 130, 137 also relate to the subject.

OK Hans, NOT the duration of the remedy's action - the duration of the vital force's re-action then...
Of course the exact duration is individual, however there are remedies that entice a longer reaction than others in general. Anyone know of a book containing these tables ? Thanks.

claudia...anywhere near seaside..in oregon?

Hi Claudia,
There is a table by R.Gibson Miller on RELATIONSHIPS OF REMEDIES which I have at the back of a 1993 British Edition of Kent's Repertory.
It has also been published in Germany by Haug Verlag, but the booklet is so small, I can't find it right now.
Anyway, for Staph. he lists duration 20-30 days, no duration given for Tuberculinum.

Regards,
Karin
