Instructions for using LM Homeopathic Remedies – Old
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. Notify me about them if you havent already.)
- Essential oils such as Camphor, tea tree oil, peppermint, etc.
- Strong odors like paints, mothballs, perfumes, colognes, solvents, etc.
- EMF (Strong sources of electromagnetic energy) especially during sleep such as a cell tower nearby, electrical blanket, wifi, microwaves, cell phones, etc.
- Herbal medicines like Swedish bitters, Pau d’Arco tea, Sunrider and KM products
- 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) bottle or a 1 or 2 oz (30 or 70 ml) dropper bottle.
- A Cup large enough for 4 ozs (120ml) (“Hot” paper cups without wax OR disposable plastic cups OR a ceramic/glass cup “sterilized” before each dose by sunlight or boiling water).
- Steel spoon (Tbl or tsp as advised) that also must be rinsed in hot water after use or sun sterilized.
- A Book
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 before sleep unless it makes sleep difficult, but any time, is OK. I will advice you on the number of succussions and drops.
- Succuss (i.e. firmly hit) the RSB __ times as if dropped from a height of approx. 60cm (2 ft) onto a firm soft surface like a book.
- Fill a cup (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., Your plants love it.
Precision is not so important but consistency is. Take it the same way every time, so that we know how to adjust the dosage if needed.
Take your first dose and Only dose after receiving the remedy then WAIT. CALL ME 3 or 4 days after the first dose or sooner if you have questions. I will advise you on how to take it regularly. Then after taking it regularly for 2-3 weeks we will do a short followup interview to determine if this is the right remedy for you.
Afterwards you must judge your own progress with my help. 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. You can always call and text me if you have questions.
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 taking the remedy for four weeks at an LM level, I will advise you how to increase the potency at that level.
After you have taken the same potency for four weeks, increase the strength of your dose by adding another drop each week. For example 3 drops for weeks 1-4, 4 drops for week 5, 5 drops for week 6, 6 drops for week 7. Then you should contact me about going up to the next potency.
Contact me if you see no further improvement at the LM level you are taking so we can decide what the next step in your treatment is.
If an acute (self-limiting) condition like a cold, injury, 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.
