Skinners Dynamiser

    Hahnemann was a vitalist and believed that the cause of a disease is the alteration in the vital force which manifests itself on the outside body by many various symptoms. He approached the therapy following the 'Law of Similars'.

    Hahnemann's view is that medicines directly affect the nerves, that is, the part of the body which is in closest contact with the soul. By diluting medicines their coarse effect is removed on other organs except the nervous system. After the medicament has been freed of coarse and useless matter what is left is a medicament which is weaker in material substance but dynamically more effective.

    But how can such small doses of medicine show their strength? How to achieve their potentization? How to release the hidden healing force from inside the drugs and how to dynamize them?

    For answering the question, how to release the hidden healing force from inside the drug, how to achieve its potentization or how to dynamize the medicine, Hahnemann recalled Rumford's experiments.

    Benjamin Rumford (1753 1814) is considered to be the inventor of mechanical heat theory. He knew the transformation of labor into heat by speculating that heat is nothing else but movements of the smallest particles. By swift movements, that is, by friction of two metallic plates in a closed room, Rumford achieved an increase in temperature inside that room.
   
    From this phenomenon Hahnemann deducted that metal contains untapped reserves of heat energy in latent, bound, undeveloped state: “…latent heat, even in metals that feel cold, is manifested when they are rubbed … Hahnemann used this partial discovery of physics that the rubbing together of two metallic objects brings out heat to support his “Theory of Dynamization”.

    Hahnemann performed dynamization or potentization, of medicines by a precise numbers of shakings successions in given time sequences, and by an exact number of mixing i.e. triturations of a pure, diluted medicinal substance that was free from all coarse materials. Such high dilution was than potentized dynamized by repeated shakings. For treatment Hahnemann used as a rule high potencies which he achieved by diluting thirty times and than by dynamizing with exact number of shakings.

    The potency concept is scientific. Hahnemann certainly claimed that the superior effectiveness of potentized medicines had been amply demonstrated in practice. Potentized medicines were for him to capture vital force and his idea of dynamisation has became an integral and essential part of Homeopathic theory.

    In 1816, for the first time, Hahnemann talks about the centesimal dilution method with succussions, either 26 years after his first proving with Cinchona.

        From 1821 to 1830 He uses the doses until the 12 CH

        From 1830 to 1833 He uses the doses until the 30 CH

        From 1834 to 1842 He creates the cures with the LM potencies.

Korsakov, inventor of High potencies     To make a high potency by hand would take weeks or months and is extremely labour intensive. Korsakov method adhered as closely as possible to the human arm action of dilution and succession "against a hard but elastic object" (aphorism 270) as per Hahnemann's instructions. The machine repeatedly empties and refills in a single vial (Korsakov method) until the desired potency is reached, the whole process being computer-controlled to ensure stability and accuracy. This method is used in Helios pharmacy UK.
