QHD 2005 - Homeoxls

Nux vomica 200 for six days o.d. No change
Nux vomica M/2o.d. Slightly better. Repeat Nux
vomica M/4 o.d. , then Sac Lac 7 o.d. and then
Sulphur 200/4 doses o.d.
Case 6: 53-year-old Electrical Engineer,
sedentary job. Pain heel, Hypertension, Piles and
sexual weakness. Zingiberis 30/one dram pills
t.d.s. for 7 days. Same repeated for another 7 days.
Heel pain better. During this period he got chest
pain. Zincum metallicum 30 b.d. Repeated 8 doses
b.d.
75% relief heel pain. For high cholesterol
Allium sativa Q1oz 10 gtt. b.d.
He developed some ulceration in cheek.
Natrum muriaticum 200, three powders as his
cheek was sensitive to hot food/drink. A week later
cheek ulcer slight relief. Repeat Natrum
muriaticum 200/3 o.d.
A week later, no improvement: Lycopodium
200/4 b.d.
12 days later: erection still poor, early
ejaculation ++, Nitric acid 30/1dram pills t.d.s.
Three weeks later: No > in any respect.
Graphites 200/4 doses. Only ulcer amel. after 8
days. Allium sativa Q again. About two weeks
later cheek ulcer again flared up. To stop Allium
sativa and Graphites M/4 doses. About 20 days
after, Graphites XM/3 powders at 15 minute
interval.
Cheek ulceration much improved. All other
complaints remained.
It is interesting to note that Allium sativa
caused cheek ulcer in him. But his Cholesterol
came down.
[I feel bewildered; 30 potency repeated for
days together; 200, 1M, 10M too repeated. What is
the justification for Natrum muriaticum 200–three
powders? And Lycopodium 200-four powders!
Graphites M four doses and XM every 15 minutes
three doses!! Why 15 minutes? Why not 10
minutes or 20 minutes or for that matter every 5
minutes. What are the rules for these games? Or
are there no rules? And it is all a rule of the thumb?
Pardon me please=KSS]

that the same potency should not be repeated? =
