Allergic Shock

The word allergy was rarely used when I started practice. It is very much in vogue now. I had extremely bad experience where a single dose of 200 potency repeated on the tenth day killed the child with no other explainable reason. When this happened again( though not fatal) I studied various books to find out reasons. I found that similar thing was mentioned with repeating of anti tetanus serum, it sometimes killed, and this was henceforth avoided by repeat dose early( say within a week) .
I have not claimed this method as originated by me but I am extremely happy that almost all practitioners started using this method. Maybe they got the idea from some other source. Dr.Margaret Tyler used to give 1m potency daily dose for 4 days and stop. This does work beautifully. Where i want a powerful action. I give three doses on the first day, 2 doses on the second day and 1 dose on the third day.These doses seem to work as a single dose.
Dr.Gallavardin used a special technique of using high potencies in the cure of chronic cases of alcoholism.Insanity and other psychological problems.He studied the patient carefully and decided to use a series of remedies all deep antipsorics , antisycotics and so on , and administered them serially in high potencies at intervals of 30 to 40 days. A remedy was hardly given twice in that long period of treatment. It was like the suggested Sulphur,Calc Carb and Lycopodium by the early masters . It was as if the next remedy carried on or continued th action of the previous remedy..
What we do when every dose seems to aggravate especially indelicate patients, week Children? Hahnemann and others have advised using a very diluted , small dose, dissolve a few pellets in glass of water. Stir nicely . From this take two or three teaspoonful and mix in the next glass ful of water . Stir well usually this diluted dose a teaspoonful per dose of this solution acts very soothingly. We can use this glass as a graft and prepare a fresh glass of water solution every day and give doses from that .I don't know whether this is called plus dosing but it is a suitable name. In cases of continued fever or painful chronic troubles it is quite effective.
But please also give a weekly powerful poweder of Sac Lac as otherwise Every body thinks that mere faith and water are being used
Nowadays quite a number of Drs .are using similar technique while using the 50 millesimal potency.
Second prescription
I was utterly disappointed many a time when a remedy doing well and seemingly losing its action was repeated in the same potency after sufficiently long interval. It either did not work or aggravated. And from then on the patient's progress used to come to a standstill. I went through almost all the books I had and got an idea mainly from Boenninghusen and Burnett. The former used extensively two complementary Remedies all 200 th alternately every 4,5, 6 or 7 days like Bryonia and Rhu tox, Nux vomica and Sulphur.
By that time I had found Burnett using remedies based on pathology or organ remedies or Symptomatic simillimums  in a lower or low potency while giving remedies like Thuja , Bacillinum, Medorrhinum etc in 200 or so , inter- currently.
To be contd.
