I have a case that appears to be clear cut Kali Ars. The person seems to be sensitive to remedies, had a 200c once of a self prescribed remedy and aggravated badly. I recommended a 12c of Kali Ars BID - she is unable to get this potency. SHe can get 12x, 30c, 200c, or 1m. I'd like some opinions on potency selection please - thanks.

Barb

KAli Ars?
GOod remedy.

12X daily a la Snoopy's 6C preparation should be a good place to start.
Otherwise an LM with careful monitoring.

I agree with Dr. Leela--12X 2 or 3 times a day in water with succussions, adjust as appropriate.

By the way, this isn't a cleverly disguised ANIMAL QUESTION, is it? Because I've uncovered some of those, and it wouldn't surprise me if this weren't another one! So just a warning to all of you, I know what's going on! Barb, I'm letting you off with a warning this time!

first of all - technically I reckon it is an animal question because humans are animals, yes? Who was it that said about humans and animals that "the difference is of degree and not of kind"?

Actually Snoops this is a great case cause it is textbook Kali Ars - I didn't even feel the need to send it to you for advice! After I decided on Kali Ars I kept asking confirmatory questions - almost waiting for something to not add up but it all fit.

So a 12x is still past Avagadros number so that giving an "ars" remedy at it is perfectly safe?

I believe Avogadro's number is detectable below 24C. Someone said it was in the X range, but I think it's the C range. I'll ask my homeopath (too lazy to look it up) next time I speak with her, to be sure. Maybe someone else will recall more accurately.....good luck.

It is 12c - above this potency there is no physical substance left.

If you are so sure it is Kali-ars, then don't play around with the low potencies - have courage and prescribe a 200c. Low potencies are for vague or general states, or low vitality patients.

I would not give any poison at such a low potency.

Duh, duh, dumb.....I always get this mixed up! You're absolutely right, David. It's 12c - which is equal too (thereabouts) 24X. Thanks for clearing that up. I agree with your advice!!!
Cheers - Austin

Or is it 20 X.......this is bugging me now.

In an attempt to offer something of value, I submit:

Avogadro's Number (6.023 x 10 to the 23rd power)- the number of molecules contained in one mole of a substance. It is approximately equivalent to the 24X level of dilution. Potencies greater than 24X will not contain one molecule of the original starting substance. Amadeo Avogadro (1776-1856) was the physicist for whom this principle was named.

In my opinion, 12X spans from high 3C to upper level of 6C. Some feel X works somewhat differently than C.

I'm sure your client could get the remedy in the desired potency through any of the mail order remedy suppliers on the front page of HH. I know Homeopathy Overnight, listed there, will deliver......overnight. Call rather than use their website. They are a nice bunch and will get anything you want out to you.....well....overnight.

So, there you go. Hope this lands on the thread I've aimed for!

So now you are a pro, I should start showing some respect?

Congrats, Barb. It's great....you will be a wonderful experience for all who cross your path. I feel great pride in you! OK..now how much free help are you going to give those non humans over there, in that out of the way place? Loads, I'll bet......good souls do good things.

Hey Snoopy.....the kid grew up right in front of us. Now, do we have to cut the cord? Maybe we should wait till she develops better manners?

GPM - don't send me off into this world with my remedies just yet.

I asked about this case because I am leary of giving a potency below Avagadro's number in a poison - as David mentioned. On the other hand I do not want to cause an aggravation in this person and they had severe aggro with a 200c of their first remedy (not prescribed by me). Another factor is that this person is on daily meds for anxiety and being a Robin Murphy follower I have faith in daily dosing in these situations.

Snoops - perhaps I will send ya the case after all - when will you ever be rid of me??
