Potency

Question: Dear Dr. Luc - I was advised that for a well chosen chronic rx if
the current potency (i.e. 6c) results in no changes -- the current picture
remains the same and no new sxs or aggravations -- you would look to
increase the potency (i.e. 30c) before looking to switch to another remedy.
Does the same thought process apply for acutes? If you try a well chosen
remedy for an acute and you do not see the acute symptoms improve after
several doses @ 2 hours apart would you (1) look for another remedy or (2)
increase the potency (i.e. from 200C to 1M)? Thank you.

Answer: You understand this very well. Indeed an increase in potency in
this case can make all the difference even if you had used the 5th edition
split method. Usually 200C does the job but there are instances, like this
years' flu where a 1M potency was more than welcome!
