Dear Teachers,

I am homeopathic student. Our Teacher arranges one tutorial period after three days where teachers and students float questions and our students try to find the replies of those questions.

In the last tutorial class different questions were floated and our students who are member of different forums posted those questions and searched for repllies so that we may discuss replies in our class.

This mail was floated by my fellow student and did not get any healthy response. I tried to search the replies through google and found this beautiful discussion mailing list.


Frankly speaking our teachers themselves do not know the answers, if we could get replies from here, we can impress our other class fellows.

Looking for your cooperation please.

I would imagine that Julian Winston is the person to ask. Try the Minutus list. Join the list from Yahoo Groups.

OK, post it in minutus and tell us what he said. thanks

Non of the member at this mailing list are qualified homeopath?

Hi other member,

Please post your mail in "Homeopathy list discussion" which is actually "lyghtforce mailing list" and julian is member of that list. You can satisfy your self. Frankly speaking, the person to whom you were being refered does not know the answer of these questions because he is not a homeopath. rather non of the homeopath knows the answer. Sorry we can't help you.

For some 30 odd years I have consulted my copy of Dr J.H. Clarke's work "General Repertory - to the Dictionary of the Materia Medica " to get the duration of the effect of various remedies.
It was published in the first decade of the 20th Century.

It was the outcome of a relationship between Dr R. Cooper [ who had the reputation of being the homeopath who could cure cancer] Dr J.H . Clarke and Dr Compton Burnett. This association was known as the Cooper- Clarke Club.

This is wrong. Clark has no link with compilation of duration of remedies / table. Boger Boenninghausen's Characteristic Repertory also has table. First somebody started and after that everybody started copying it.

Other member,

You could directly contact Dr. MAS drmasvoice@hotmail.com drmastalk@doctor.com and drmas@homeoweb.net or www.drmas.tk . He is the member of this board. This type of questioning and answering is his habit.

Ricky, I floated the mail in list discussion and julian is the member of that list, if he knows the answer then he might reply. Anyway, I am sending him personal mail.

Passkey, I visited your profile, you are a homeopath, your reply is important to me.

Sheikh, mail has been sent.

The duration of action of remedies, as given in materia medica, is only a rough indication at the best, and is never to be relied upon.

The action of any medicine, depends on many factors like, the type of problem (acute or chronic), the susceptibility of the patient, and the potency, to name a few.

To me, the discussion looks to be purely of acadamic interest, and nothing more than that.

Go along with that Murthy.

Dear Members

The duration of beneficial reaction to remedies is a separate issue from the duration of action of homeopathic remedies.

First, lets talk about the duration of action of homeopathic remedies which is sometimes referred to as FIRST action or ‘’SMALL HOMEOPATHIC AGGRAVATION’’.

The duration of this first action is minutes to maximum a few hours, depending on potency and form of application.
The higher the potency, the shorter the first action.
The more nerve endings are stimulated by the remedy, the longer the first action.

Now to the second point: the duration of beneficial reaction to remedies.
This very much depends on the type of disease, the remedy preparation and also the type of remedy it is.

Generally, < I have seen reaction times from hours to as much as 5 years from one dose of a remedy.

The list in Boerrickes is an approximate duration list for 30C single dose or even lower. Its not the earliest list of its kind, Jahr in the 1830’ had a duration time with all his remedies in his MM. Boenninghausen had the remedies classed according to duration with the 200C. This list is available in his lesser writings and in the BB repertory.

And by the way – if your school is looking for a competent teacher, they are free to offer me a job.

Greetings from Ireland
