LM Potency

Test Organon on the single dose.

Aphorism 246 gives the mostprecise details on how to administer the LM potency.
The statementsmade in this paragraph must be put in context with the information
presented inaphorism 248 about the daily and alternate day dose

Here Hahnemann clearly says,"Every noticeably progressive and conspicuously

increasing improvement isa state which, as long as it persists, generally excludes
any repetition of themedicine."

This is because the remedy is "hasteningtoward completion" at the quickest

possible speed and any repetition mayslow down the cure or cause a relapse of
symptoms.

This reflects what Hahnemann saidin aphorism 245 of the 5th Organon on the single
dose.

Then Hahnemann says, "On theother hand" some patients experience only a "slow,
continuousimprovement based on one dose of a aptly selected homeopathic
medicine (taking 40,50, 60 100 days to complete the cure, depending on the nature
of the medicine)but thisis very seldom the case."
It is much more common for theslow remedy action to cease and the patient to
relapse. Then the Founder goeson to state how important it is to "foreshorten this
period" to 1/2,1/4 or less so that a more rapid cure is attained. This reflects what
Hahnemannsaid in aphorism 246 of the 5th Organon on repeating the remedy to
speed thecure.

Hahnemann makes it very clearthat there are two major types of remedy actions
that must be treateddifferently.
1.
Thefirst condition is a visibly progressing and strikingly increasingamelioration.
In this instance Hahnemann says to leave the single dose to actwithout repetition as
long as this state lasts. This statement also applies toany time during treatment
that there is a dramatically increasing ameliorationon a series of doses. I would like
to report that my colleagues and I havewitnessed several cures of chronic diseases

with single and infrequent doses ofthe LM potency.

2.
The second remedy action is a slow continuousimprovement that could take
up to 100 or more days to cure. Some cases showlittle or no response to a single
dose although the remedy is correct. This isbecause the sensitivity of the patient
and the nature of disease state requiremore medicinal stimulation. In this case one
should repeat the dose at suitableintervals to speed the cure. This is quite common
in protracted chronic diseaseand complex miasms. One may repeat the dose to
speed the cure only if theyfollow all five conditions noted at the end of the
paragraph.

1.
Theremedy is perfectly homoeopathic (Not a wrong remedy or a partial
simillimum.)
2.

Theremedy is potentized and dissolved in water. (Not the dry dose.)

3.
Theremedy is given in a small dose (1 pill in a 7-8 tablespoon medicinal
solution,given in a split-dose, etc.)
4.
Theremedy should be given at suitable intervals based on what experience has
shownto be the correct timing. (Individualization.)
5.
Thedegree of dynamization must be changed on each dose (The medicinal
solutionmust be succussed prior to ingestion to slightly raise the potency.)

`There is a great differencebetween a visibly progressing and strikingly increasing

amelioration and a slowcontinuous improvement that may take up to 100 days to
show any significantimprovement.

Inmost cases of slow improvement the patient tends to relapse rather thanprogress
to cure. What Hahnemann is offering is a very clear differentialanalysis of two
different types of remedy actions.

When the patient is already hasteningtoward cure on single or infrequent doses the
cure does not need to be sped! Ifthe remedy is repeated under these conditions it
will either slow down theaction of the previous dose, aggravate the patient, or
cause a relapse ofsymptoms.
In the footnote to aphorism 246it says the LM may be given daily " when
necessary". It does not sayto give the LM potency to everybody no matter what!

All the statements about thedaily and alternate day dose that follow in aphorism
248 are about how to speedthe cure in slowly improving cases.

These are the cases where one needsto foreshorten this period to 1/2, 1/4 or less
the time so that a more rapidcure is attained.

In aphorism 248 Hahnemann saysthat the remedy may be repeated daily or on

alternate days in "protracteddiseases", which means long drawn out and prolonged
illnesses.

If the patient is experiencing astrikingly increasing amelioration on a single dose or

a short series of doses,the repetition of the remedy is counter indicated as long as
this state lasts.These aphorisms teach when it is best to wait and watch and when it
is best toact and observe. This is the best of both worlds!

Hahnemann sent Baron vonBoenninghausen two LM case histories in 1843, shortly

before he left for hisHeavenly Abode.
The case history has been checkedwith the original case found in the Paris
Casebooks.

What does this case historiestell us?

First of all, Hahnemann'sprescriptions were individualized according to the cause,

symptoms, miasms and attendingcircumstances. He did not use preconceived
schedules over long periods of time.He responded to each change in the symptoms
and customized his case managementmethods according to the time and
circumstances.

Secondly, this case shows how theFounder often interpolated and followed his
medicinal doses with a series ofplacebos. In this example the patient spent around
37 days on placebos over aperiod of 64 days! The idea that Hahnemann gave the
daily dose for weeks,months and years on end is a complete myth! ... of the dry

single dose and longwait and watch policy, which was he told in his earlier editions
of organon ...

This was idea of master to changeto medication administration as whenever needed

whatever disease condition ..and in safest ways possible so there would be faster
recover hasten to 1/2 or1/4 or even less ..

But in the cases he himself..never use daily or alternate day dosing ..

Hahnemann never gave the dailydose or alternate day dose for long periods without
stopping the medicine,giving placebos and waiting and watching.
Some patients remained on placebofor 7, 14 , 21 or even more days at times.

As long as the patient isimproving at a reasonable rate the remedy should be

repeated atsuitable intervals to speed the cure. In "protracted diseases" theremedy
may be repeated daily or on alternate days,

if necessary, to speed the curein otherwise long drawn out cases. The more
frequent repetition may be used aslong as the patient is improving and there are no
aggravations or new symptoms.

As the patient improves over timeit is best to slow down the repetition of the
remedy as the potencies areincreased to prevent aggravations.
The LM remedies are not a"low potency" system. One cannot compare the C and LM
potency solelyby the amount of the original substance left in the dilution.

There is a great differencebetween a mathematical and dynamic equivalence. 1 pill

of the LM 0/1 potency inan 8 tablespoon solution has around the same amount of
medicinal substance asthe 6C but its power is much greater due to its 1/50,000
dilution and 100succussions per dilution..

Classification ofDiseases:
Inthe aphorism 248, diseases have been classified Into three categories:
(i) Very urgent or dangerouscases,
(ii) Acute cases.
(iii) Chronic cases.

The cases of the first category advance to ultimate end.their vitality faces extinction
every moment.

They are attacked by these kindsof diseases when their vitality is very weak.
Cholera, Pox, Titanus, etc., fallinto this category. Generally half-acute and fixed
miasms are responsible forthese diseases. The patient may succumb to death
within a few hours. So withthe onset of the diseases, the physician should try his
level best to treat withthe well selected medicine and make speedy arrangement for
proper management.Death is inevitable if the patient is not recovered immediately.

The patients of the second category proceed todeterioration slowly and gradually,
day by day, hour by hour. Acute miasms areresponsible for these diseases, but
exciting (and sometimes maintaining) causescreate these conditions. The vital
energy diminishes slowly. Diarrohoea,Dysentery, Malaria, Typhoid and such other
similar diseases come under thiscategory. Proper treatment In proper time Is
necessary. Death may come if cureis not ensured within a reasonable period of time.

The patients of the third category travel the road to deathvery slowly, day after day,
month after month. Asthma, Rheumatism, Skindiseases. Ulcer, Cancer,
Hypertension, etc., fall into this category. Cure isnot possible without proper
antimiasmatic treatment. These diseases areacquired or Inherited from chronic
miasms. As these diseases develop veryslowly, cure also comes slowly. Much time is
necessary for cure than isrequired In the case of acute diseases.

Administrationof Medicine is Also Different in Three Categories:

In aphorism 248 it has been saidthat:

(i)
Invery urgent cases (i.e., cases of the first category) well selected medicine
isto be administered every hour or oftener (i.e., In these cases we may
applymedicine every 5, 10, 20 or 30 minutes as necessary. - Author).

(ii)

Ingeneral acute cases medicine is to be applied after every two to six hours,

(iii) Inlong lasting diseases, i.e., in chronic diseases daily or every second day.

Theseare the general laws of application of medicines of 50 millesimal scale.

Hahnemann says, "On theother hand, should there appear during almost dally
repetition of the wellindicated homoeopathic remedy, towards the end of the
treatment of a chronicdisease, so-called (Aphrorism 161) homoeopathic
aggravations by which thebalance of the morbid symptoms seem to again
somewhat increase (the medicinaldisease, similar to the original, now alone
persistently manifests itself). Thedoses in that case must then be reduced still
further and repeated in longerintervals and possibly stopped several days. In order
to see if theconvalescence need no further medicinal aid. The apparent
symptoms(Schein-Symptoms) caused by the excess of the homoeopathic medicine
will soon disappearand leave undisturbed health in its wake." (Hahnemann. S:
Organon. sixthed. Apho. 248.)

Mode administration here I amgiving direct method to be use ways to give LM

potency ..to make possible smalldose

GetLM 0/1 potency

Get 1 ltr water bottle

Add 1/4 with water 1/4 litre

Add to this 10-12 small 0/1 LM potency pills

This is main stock bottle now

Take from this 25 ml in cup and add another fresh water till half cup fills

Then take one big sip of it keep in mouth for 10 second and swallow

Throw remaining in cup

Then next day give 10 strong stroke for stock bottle and repeat dose same process

This you have to take for 10 days .. and before dose give 10 strong stroke to
stockbottle

It means in 10 days u give 10x10=100 strokes to stock bottle

This move up on new potency to 0/2

On 11th day u need empty all water from stock ..

Andadd fresh 250 ml of water

Andstart dosing this LM 0/2 next 10 day

This is ways using in regularchronic diseases ... as in acute one can short the time

as to repeat morefrequent as 5 min 10 min 1 hr or 2 hr or 6 hr etc as required or

need to thecondition

But every time potency goes up tolevel next to LM 0/2 after every 100 successions

U can sub divided these 100 successionto 5 to give 20 doses or 10 successions to

give 10 doses within same dose withincreasing dynamisation in every given dose
