But it would have always disappeared before the end of the above mentioned periods. It does not come back even after fifteen years, it does not return at all. In such cases we could really say that the homeopathic remedy has a permanent effect. And, of course, this is always so at the end of the treatment. That last potency should have a permanent effect.
Permanent effect is the true objective of homeopathic treatment.
While in the treatment of a chronic disease we administer C 30 or higher only once, and wait with the next dose until the remedy had evidently ceased to be effective, with the acute illness we may choose a different approach. After that we do not repeat it any more. Once there has been a reaction, the curing process continues on. When low potencies are used in the treatment of chronic diseases, it is possible to repeat D6 or C5 or LMI, for instance three times a day till the moment a reaction has been stirred up. As soon as there is an improvement or a homeopathic aggravation of symptoms, it is necessary to stop.
