These factors could interfere with the action of your homeopathic remedy and should be avoided when possible:
- Dental care (always seek appropriate dental care when necessary. Just be aware that it may set the healing process back a bit. Root canals and other sources of chronic infection are obstacles to cure.)
- Essential oils such as Camphor, tea tree oil, peppermint, etc.
- Strong odors like paints, mothballs, perfumes, colognes, solvents, etc.
- Sleeping with an electrical blanket or other strong sources of electromagnetic energy, like wifi, microwaves, etc. nearby.
- Swedish bitters, Pau d’Arco tea, Sunrider and KM products and medicinal herbs such as marijuana and especially coffee.
- X-rays, MRI & acupuncture treatments.
- Some drugs.
- Other homeopathic remedies.
The Remedy bottle should be kept away from contamination, sunlight, strong EMF energy, x-rays and not opened in the presence of other open remedy bottles or any strong odors like those above. Unless preserved with at least 20% alcohol, the remedy should be refrigerated.
To take the remedy you will need:
- Your Remedy Solution Bottle (RSB) from the pharmacy. It may be a 4-12 oz (120-360ml) bottleor a 1 or 2 oz (30 or 70 ml) dropper bottle.
- “Hot” paper cups without wax OR disposable plastic cups OR a ceramic/glass cup “sterilized” before each dose by sunlight or boiling.
- Steel spoon (Tbl or tsp as advised) that also must be rinsed in hot water after use or sun sterilized.
Take doses in the following manner:
It is best to wait ½ hour before or after ingesting anything else except water but it is NOT critical. The best time is in the morning or before sleep unless it makes sleep difficult, but any time, is OK. I will advice you on the number of succussions and drops.
- Succuss the RSB__times as if dropped from a height of approx. 60cm (2 ft) onto a firm soft surface like a book.
- Fill a fresh paper/rinsed disposable plastic or sterilized cup with approx. 4 oz (120ml) of purified water
- Put __ teaspoons (or __ drops if using a dropper bottle) from the RSB into the cup and stir 10 sec.
- Take ONE SPOONFUL (Tbl or tsp as advised) from the cup. Swish and swallow. DISCARD the rest from the cup.
Take your first dose then WAIT. Afterwards you must judge your own progress with my help. CALL ME 3 or 4 days after the first dose and after taking for 2-3 weeks. Without any change of your condition, take it at increasing frequency and/or potency, Then Stop taking if you still have seen no change after 3 weeks. Contact me whether or not you feel this is the case.
Most Important: If you see dramatic improvement OR worsening OR a change of symptoms, don’t take another dose until you feel the last dose is starting to wear off, meaning no further change in symptoms or general signs of health. Eventually you will be able to judge for yourself how often to take it.
The remedy is working if you see improvement in any of your symptoms AND any of these General Signs of Health:
- Sleep & Energy (sleep feels better; wake more refreshed; your energy feels better)
- Sense of Well-being
- Clarity of Mind
- Calmness Better Adaptability to your Environment (mental/emotional/physical, i.e. less sensitive to allergens or stressors)
If any of the above improve despite the temporary worsening of other(s), you are on the right track. If symptoms merely change without an improvement of the general signs it may be a close but not the best remedy. I will advise.
If there is any worsening of symptoms or you feel slightly too energized, stop taking the remedy until you see improvement. There is no harm. It only means that it is the right remedy but the potency is slightly too strong. Call me so I can help you adjust the potency or if you have any questions.
Potency may be decreased by any or all of the following means:
- Decreasing number of succussions for each dose (a minimum of 2 succussions are necessary)
- Reducing the number of drops
- Using more water in the cup
- Using a second cup of water with a teaspoon from the first cup and dosing the same way from the 2nd cup
Potency may be increased by increasing the number of succussions or increasing the number of drops.
After a total of approx. 40-50 succussions of a RSB bottle at a level (e.g. LM1) or if you see no further improvement at that level, you may start the next level (e.g. LM2) in the same manner as you finished the last. You may continue at a level if you feel it is still benefiting you. At higher levels decrease dosage frequency.
If an acute (self-limiting) condition like a cold, etc. arises please contact me. You may try increasing the potency and frequency of your remedy but if you don’t see improvement after a few doses, stop. Unless you find that it is helping discontinue the LM remedy until this new temporary illness resolves itself. I may have to find an acute remedy that you will take temporarily until it resolves, when you can resume the chronic remedy. You may find it necessary to seek conventional treatment in some instances.
Frequently when you are finished with a remedy you will see a slight temporary return of the symptoms that it cleared. Otherwise, if you see no improvement on the next level after a couple of weeks OR your symptoms change significantly (usually older symptoms return which is a good sign) OR all your symptoms have cleared, you may be through with that remedy; contact me for advice.
You will see the best results if you reduce or eliminate other non-prescribed medicinal substances such as herbs, drugs, coffee, tobacco, alcohol, etc. Don’t stop them immediately but taper off slowly. Avoid other “obstacles to the cure” also. Work closely with your doctor, especially if you are taking a prescription drug. The remedy should improve your health so you may need less of the drug. Only alter the dosage of your prescription drug with your doctor’s advice.
Be Happy, Be Healthy.
