 Proving – healthy person given the original substance
creates symptoms
 Double blink testing.
 The Minimum dose
 Preparation of the remedy
 Controlled process
 Successive dilutions alternating with Succession
(shaking).
 The more dilutive and shaken the higher the potencies
 Small doses stimulate
 Medium doses paralyze
 Large doses kill

 large dose of penicillin will kill a Staphylococcus

infection, while a small dose will stimulate its growth
 One remedy to understand if it is working
 Two remedies:
 Which worked
 Was it the interaction
 Meaning of Symptoms
 The Body, Not the Germs
