I have fungal infection on my fingers that I am finally seeing considerable relief by taking the remedy Staphysigria. I took Staph 6x once and noticed the infection starting to heal. So, i stopped taking it, and after a week or so, it started to come back. Again, I took one dose of Staph, and this seems to help me. So, is this dosage correct, and is the frequency correct? I heard some one say on this BB, that after a while the potency should be increased. Also, should I be taking Staph 6x maybe 3 times a day?
Also, would Staph be considered a constitutional remedy, since it works well for me.

Usually it is silicea that has fungal infection on the fingers, that aint found in staph, but they are complements, so this indicates use of sil before or after.
As for the potence, use one dose 30c, wait, if not completely cured, go up to c200, or to 1M, one dose.
But to go up like this, is generally for x potences, not for c. this is a more complex hieraki, and should not be messed around with by non pros.Must be monitored by a pro.
You risk a medical disease, playing around like this.

So, in other words, 6x is probably safe to use, for a limited time, correct?
I dont fit the Silica symptoms at all, so that is ruled out.
Can you please elaborate on the what you said regarding medical disease. Could that happen just taking the above with 6x dosage for a limited time?
Thanks
Desiper

Depend on what you call limited time, in my vue thats a few days up till two months, but this is all individual, you must monitor the progress, as soon as a good reaction stops its time to either stop, choose a other remedie, or go up in potence. You can,if not understanding what you do, cause a medical disease, yes.
As for silicea, well i would not say that it is ruled out,not all can have a objektive vue of one self, esp not when being a newbeginner who has filled her head with cheap sold homeopaty, like the popular belif that all fits a picture, it was maybe true hundred years ago, not so today.
Calc carb, ac fl also has this, Staph i have found in one case as a follow on silicea.

Isnt the silica patient cold all the time, even in summer needs warm clothing? This is one of the many symptoms that are unlike me.

In fact i love being in the cold, and hate to wear even long sleeves. So, that is reason i felt Silica is out of question.

GM, I am not questioning your knowledge, yet i would like to know if i am doing some thing wrong, and i appreciate your help. So, even if silica is not the remedy for me, does it mean it will be beneficial to me, if complimented before or after Staph?

Regarding limited time, i also agree with you on few days to maybe few weeks.
I have learnt something new regarding increasing the dosage when the symptoms start coming back. Thanks !
I did not really think Homeopathy could do that much harm, unless one took Inimical or incompatible remedies. Also, since 6x is such a low potency, i was told would be the appropiate method to start. So, when you said about medical disease, i was surprised. Again, this discussion is not to question your authority/knowledge but rather enlighten myself.
I am glad i am discussing this over the bulletin board, where i am able to learn more than what is written in the books.
I will definetly more careful with my dosage, and the frequency !!
No offense to GM, i would like to obtain more comments from other practioners also..
Thanks

Little things like that dont eliminate silicea, and besides, this is the teachings of the personalpicture, and that did fit the last century, today people are a mix of symptomes that comes from vaxines, medications, lifestyle, bad food etc. Silicea can be rigth, let a expert decide that.
And, you dont offend me by seeking other opinions, your welcomed to do that, i only get very annoyed/irritated, when people reads into my answers other things/intentions than
i have had my self, because of their tunnelvisions or shall i say, flaws in personality, like haste,they reads one tenth and explodes, and start to insult me on a base that belongs to their impaired visions/understanding/mind,whatever, then i can become very harsh.

Without wanting to infringe upon the discussion, I feel that if Staph works, you stick with that. Hahnemann says that we should not be too hasty to change the remedy. GM's advise, to take a single dose and wait is certainly the way to go. Medicinal disease comes from repeating the remedy in the same potency.
He says: "Toallow the dose of the medicine selected to complete its action undusturbed, as long as it visibly furthers the cure, a process which forbids every new prescription as also the repetition of the same remedy." (Chronic diseases pgs 124-125) he also says:
"The medicines given in the most appropriate doses, were the less effective th oftener they were repeated. They served at last only as weak palliatives." (Chronic diseases pgs 3 and 4) "A medicine does harm in every dose that is too large and in strong doses it does more harm the greater its homoeopaticity and the higher the potency selected. Too large doses, especially when frequently repeated, bring about much trouble as a rule. They put the patient not seldom in danger of life or make his disease almost incurable." (Organon par.276.

I have, in the last two months taken maybe 7~10 times staph 6x, with a gap of 5~7 days between the dosage.

If I understand both of you right, the next step would be to increase the potency to maybe 30c and taken one dose and wait and see how it goes, correct?

And again, the potency could be increased to 200c, maybe 1M in a gradual increment with careful observations of the symptoms, aggravations etc. Would that be considered a appropriate course of actions, in my case?

Also, when you both refer to medical disease, are you saying that a person could start getting some new medical disease and
could be hard to reverse it? would antidoting not be a last resort?

Thanks,
Desiper.

Yes, next potency up and wait. And if you read Hahnemann's quotes well, then you can understand that indeed there will be a medicinal disease, which will be very hard t cure. Kent gives an example in the 'lectures on the philosophy' that you then may end up with taking antidote for the rest of your life!
So you take the 30C and wait. when improvement stops, ask again. You may need a modified 30C, or you may need to go higher. All is dependent on how far the recovery has gone.

Eesiper, in answer to yourE-mail, no offense taken.
