Why should we be using 6C dilution more often?
I am using mostly 6C in water and sometimes 6X dry and or in water ( depending on how weak the vital force or how gentle the effect required). 6C works very well for acutes and if a faster action is required repetition is done every 15, 10, 5, 2 or 1 minutes – it almost always works if the right remedy is selected. For chronics 6C once a day first thing morning or last thing night is usually all that is required.
I have not needed to give more than one dose daily. The effect is seen very gradually over 10 to 15 days and can continue for 2 to 3 months or more. Intercurrent acutes 6C in water are also effective and only rarely the chronic remedy needs to be stopped for a few days to handle an acute. If a ‘constitutional (miasmatic)’ and a ‘chronic (pathological)’ remedy is required, the constitutional is given in 6C, the chronic in 6X or in 6C; it does not seem to interfere with the constitutional remedy. This lets me concentrate on the proper selection of the remedy, miasmatic, acute – the effect can be modified by modifying degree of dilution in water and number of succusions.
For what I have termed above as ‘constitutional (miasmatic)’ prescribing SK Banerjea ( in his “MIASMATIC DIAGNOSIS” and “MIASMATIC PRESCRIBING”) and Luc de Schepper ( “HAHNEMANN REVISITED” and “ACHIEVING AND MAINTAINING THE SIMILLIMUM”) have between them covered the subject very well. Robin Murphy (“COMMENTARY ON ORGANON OF MEDICINE 6TH EDITION”, “KEYNOTES OF THE MATERIA MEDICA” and “CASE ANALYSIS AND PRESCRIBING TECHNIQUES”) covers what I have termed above as ‘chronic (pathological)’ prescribing extremely well.

“ in mental diseases you need high potencies……what an ignorance!.....Who ever tested it? Who ever assumed that it was true?”

“So healthy or sick, Hahnemann’s conclusion is …..start low…”
“ 6C, 3C, LM/1, these are low potencies.”
( If someone starts LM/3 it is not low)

“ Hahnemann and Eizayaga methods are both very gentle and flexible, you can jump from acutes to chronics, you can handle people on medications, it’s faster…..never have to stop the remedy and wait…..go right through a disease layer……a psychological fundamental layer, and right to the constitution without stopping, and that is the way Hahnemann prescribed. His method is a continual treatment for…months…years. He never needed to stop the treatment for months at a time.”

“LM/2 in the second cup cured them instead of jumping from 6c to 12c, or 200c to 1M. Hahneman's method is more sophisticated and effective.
A portion of my income is fixing those cases where people took high potencies; and 70% of those cases that I get have seen Kentian prescribers, I give the same remedy in a lower potency or
water potency or LM, and I get all the praise and credit. I just listen to their story - "Oh, I took Sepia 10 M and I got a horrible aggravation, and I was great for six months .... "
"It's the same story. I give them Sepia 6c in water and there's a dramatic cure. They say, "Wow, he's such a great prescriber!" I didn't do anything. Some people need a 6c and a 12c, and then they get better. So all those cases you get where they had the right remedy, just go back and give the same thing in water or an LM and you'll see dramatic results, and that is the proof of the system. We can't prove it from other cases, but within that same case we can prove it - that LM/l cured and 10M failed. What can we say? "
