The ABC Homeopathy Forum
is 1m in fact 1mc or 1mk?
Hi!I am a first year homeo student in Europe.
Overhere, a lot of homeos work on the K scale.
In the US and in France they work on C scale.
Question: Over here in Europe, when the homeo prescribes 1000, it is 1000K without any doubt.
In the US or Canada, when the homeo prescribes 1000 (1M), are they talking of 1MC or 1MK?
Really confusing....
any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
It is not confusing as basically the difference between c and k is not in dilution but in the way of preparation. It has been explained on this forum not so long ago (k stands for Korsakoff)

yes ok, but as i see it, i am sure that the us and canada are talking of 1MC, but i do not want to make a mistake on this, and would feel happier if someone could answer that one for me.
i have already asked several people without getting a satisfactory answer and it is rather crucial, isn't it? i mean getting it right.
the difference must be rather important because
5c = 30k
7C = 200K
etc, etc...

if:
5c = 30k
7C = 200K
then we are not talking about the same thing!
if K stands for Korsakoff they are about the same.
Best way out is to ask the teacher who said it.

it is not at all right.
Both are more or less of same strength.One is called Hannemann method,where a new flask is used,for every dilution.In Karasakov method ,only one flask is used.
for more details see this web site.

P.S.This is the clarification Astra gave earlier.
Actually they are about the same just prepared in different way:
Korsakoff saved on washing dishes (lazy people make many inventions!) and instead of transfering a drop od remedy solution to 99 drops of pure water (of course the amounts may be larger-only ratio is important) to move c-potency higher he just pour away the remedy solution from the flask assuming that one drop certainly stayed, and added 99 drops of water, and so on. So he just used one flask instad of many.

ok thx for the answer, i am seeing things a bit more clearly now.
nevertheless, when my own america homeo prescribes 1M, there is still a problem, because Dolisos say they do not run up 1M over here, so if i understand correctly, i could just as well take MK, and it would be almost the same?
what about the following potencies then? XM, CM, LM? are all these the same (or close enough) to XMK CMK?
