Hello David, Jennifer and friends,

I wish you all a happy and productive 2000.

I do not have a lot of 'dry dose' experience as David taught me the

medicinal solution when I first started practicing. I am extremely

pleased with the results I have gotten. Aggravations rarely occur, but

if they do occur with LMs I have found a smaller dose (increasing the

dilution or take less from the dilution glass) can calm the case

immediately.

I have not had amazing results from using the # 10 pillules dry.

Perhaps it takes longer for the body to process those little pillules

(surface area contact?). So now I almost always put one in a teaspoon

of water or in a glass if for some reason I do not make up a medicinal

solution. (I might use dry dose occasionally with livestock or

emergencies - child in my office with pneumonia just before I called the

ambulance, she could only take a tiny breath, and was using her

accessory muscles to do that, her lungs sounded like they were filled

with fluid I gave Ant t dry dose by the time they got her to the

hospital xrays showed she only had a little bit of fluid at the bottom of

her right lung.)

I do not find the aqueous C potencies (or X) as dose sensitive

as the LM's. Where one drop of an LM solution works so much differently

from a teaspoon, I don't notice a lot of difference between say 1/4 of a

tsp of a 200C and a tablespoon of 200C.

I just assumed the C potencies have a narrower range of action.

Now for a question. Can the tissue salts be administered in

aqueous dilutions? I love using tissue salts for acutes and for

nutrition balancing. I have put a pellet in the dilution bottle but I

have mixed emotions (and not a huge amount of experience with them) about

how well they work in dilution. With tissue salts in 3x or 6x potencies

we are definitely dealing with material doses. I usually give out one

pill rather than the 3 or so pills the bottle instructs, although Robin

Murphy suggests several pills for a dose and in one of his lectures he

dropped the dose down to one pill when the patient aggravated. But I am

not convinced that more than one pill is needed, but neither am I

convinced that it works well in aqueous dilution either. Do you have any

information you could share on this?

As usual David, thank you for the benefit of your studies and

experience. You have made a huge difference in the comfort of my clients

and your instructions are greatly appreciated.

Warmest regards, Maria
