Hi Snoopy,

I'm not opposed to using low potencies - sometimes they're much better than high, but I also like high. It's a very individual thing.

Shirley,

I guess you're going to have to read Tomi Connor's thread again! You must have missed the post where you were referred to as a Princess!
In fact, I think I'll go back and reread it myself because I've forgotten the details, I just remember how funny it was!

Shirley, here it is:

>>The same situation is here. I don’t want to tell you who is “Goli” here. Who is Ruling team? Who is Umpire? (Every body knows) Because it might be an offence. But I will beyond doubt tell you that princess is Shirley Reichman. Time will come when umpire will review his decision, when princess will tell him about the written rules. And she already told him about the previous written BB rules. Let’s watch the movie again.

I definitely don't think the low potencies are dweebs. In fact, I recently had a case where I gave 30C Apis, dry, one dose and she broke out in head to toe hives. I wish now I had gone even lower, maybe 6C, and had her take a sip in water, but I had no idea she was so sensitive. She did recover and it cured the case, but it does show that the low potencies can be very effective - although I do consider a 30C bordering on mid-range in potency.

Dear Shirley,

I made the "You're no Princess Shirley!" reply to another post; someone who was ranting and raving, I can't remember now what his problem was.

Anyway, yes, Hahnemann says in the Organon, you can't possibly know who's sensitive and who isn't, so start everyone on a low dose. I gave my sister's cat, with arthritis, Rhus tox 30C, and the cat nearly died! But the next morning, made a full recovery; but my sister was furious, and I haven't heard the end of it. But a homepathic vet, a long time ago, did give my dog with spinal arthritis Plumbum 1M, and I had him put to sleep the next day! Because the aggravation was so severe, I thought he was dying, and, if I had known about "aggravations", maybe I would have waited a little longer; but it's just the point that as a profession, we pretty much start every case with a 200, 1M or 10M and I think that's really reckless, as you can see with what happened when you only gave a 30C and your patient broke out all over.

Well, actually Snoopy, there are a lot of us who use LM potencies and start low, as suggested in the Sixth Edition Organon of the Healing Art.

And, some would consider redosing and/or repetition of dose, without plussing, reckless. It is often understood to be the method of proving.

Dear Simone H,

I'm not clear about something. Of course I know many homeopaths are using LM's and I think that's wonderful! I'm all for it. Did you think I wasn't?

I also believe that any daily dosing should be given in water and succussed before each dose as per Hahnemann's instructions in order to avoid a proving, as you say.

Snoopy

Snoopy,

You wrote:
Well, you certainly gave that impression when you quoted 6th ed. Organon, but referred to the high potencies as 1M and 200. You quote was quite a generalisation, too. "We, as a profession ..."?

The 6th ed. Organon is referring to LMs, for the most part [the C scale is referred to for acutes], and yet you quote from it as though it is referring to the C scale. If you are going to use the C scale (in water), then perhaps you need to quote from the 5th ed. Organon?

Making a sweeping statement, such as the one I quoted above, leaves you open to criticism Snoopy. Posting such a statement on a public forum does not enamour you to your fellow professionals either.

As for your statement on provings: yes. Repetition, without plussing, leads to a proving.

There have been more than a few prescriptions on this BB, however, where instructions were not clear on this point. That is what I find reckless, especially given this is a public forum.
