I am itching to give silicea for bad effects ( numbness, incipient paralysis) after an operaration on the spine. The scar tissue is pressing on the spinal cord and causing all these symptoms.
Am i right in thinking i need to go real low and keep it going for a long time?
I know it's not very 'classical', but the only thing i can think of.
Any help? Experience? 6x? 12x? 6c? once a week?
Or is this hubris and i should be more modest in my aims?

Do not be itching to give an remedy but give it on the symptoms. If you are a student of heomeopathie you should know that for operations of nerves the remedy to consider is Hypericum

Picklet didn't say it was an operation on the nerves of the spine!

Can you clarify what the surgery was ?

Thank you, Hoppitt (great name!), you are right, the op was not on the nerves themselves, but i also agree with Moses that hyp probably should make an appearance at some stage.
I thought after we hopefully have got that naughty scar tissue to stop interfering with the nerves, then would be the time for hyp.
So Thank You both for your input.
To come back ot my original query: Potency? Posology?

Hi, if you had a stroke and got paralysed, are you saying homeopathy can cure that?

Curewisher -- yes.

Low potency is best and repeated often say 3x twice a day for a week
wait a week and repeat -- again wait a week and repeat.

Check results and if not satisfactory use Fluoric acid 3x for a month on the same basis.

If still not clear repeat step one .

That is much appreciated, Passkey, i was wondering if anybody had ever really used it or if it was maybe just one of those myths that sil. could dissolve scar tissue.

I'll definitely write it down in my clever collected-bits-and-pieces book for further reference.

Many Thanks

Dear members
Passkey is giving wrong information. Not to be followed!!
C-potencies are not repeated in the same potency to avoid proving. Already hahnemann wrote that in the organon. sufficient time has to be given after one dose to see where the case goes.
The selection of the NOW neccessary remedy should be based on the now present complete disease-symptom-picture and NOT on one or two symptoms alone.
So HANDS OFF unless you want to cause as much bad as good can be done with the correct remedy.

Goodness, this sounds serious.
So, c-potencies are not to be repeated just willie-nillie in the same potency..

What about x-potencies which i think is what passkey was advising?

Or maybe a q-potency with plussing, i'd be interested in your ideas about this.

It is good that we have passionate homoeopaths, especially if the passion comes from wanting to help the patients and avoid harm.

Dear members

-- The same aplies to X or D potency, which are produced in a similar way like the C-potencies.

the exact way of application of the Q-potencies is found in the Organon 6th ed.
