I have great pleasure in writing a foreword to this ‘Guide’ to students by one of my ablest students, Dr. Renu Bandlish. I have always believed and thought that class-room lectures are necessary to impress upon the minds of the students, the essentials of a drug and to stimulate them to study various books on materia medica. But for appearing in the examination, they require something that would enable them to quickly revise. And thus there is a place for this type of ‘Guide’ to students. I am sure for this purpose the students will find this quite useful. – Dr. D. P Rastogi, Principal, Nehru Homeopathic Medical College and Hospital

This book is written in Question-Answer form and questions appeared in different examinations have been combined under each drug. So it will be easier for students to study different types of questions relating to that particular drug and to reproduce it in the examination. I am sure this book will be beneficial even during the practice of Homeopathy.

A practical handbook for the homeopathic treatment and prevention of infectious disease. Kate Birch, a mother of two, saw her son fall ill with asthma after being vaccinated. Following the successful homeopathic treatment of her son, she decided to become a homeopath herself and to find alternatives to vaccination.
In this book she provides a clear introduction to the basic principles of homeopathy as well as a comprehensive overview of the known infectious illnesses and their pathogens, the usual vaccinations and treatments, together with the possibilities of homeopathic prophylaxis and therapy. This includes – along with the well-known childhood diseases such as chicken pox, measles, rubella, and scarlet fever – the common infectious diseases such as otitis media, influenza, mononucleosis, and pneumonia, as well as infections such as rabies, tetanus, diphtheria, and tuberculosis. There is also a comprehensive section on sexually transmitted diseases, including herpes, gonorrhoea, syphilis, AIDS, and hepatitis. Tropical diseases such as yellow fever, dengue fever, malaria, and typhoid fever are covered in detail. An extensive section deals with the various forms of homeopathic treatment of fever, and there is also a chapter on the adverse effects of vaccination and their treatment.
It is the first manual of its kind, which not only draws attention to the potential ill effects of vaccinations, but also describes the alternatives in a thorough and easily understandable way. A truly all-inclusive book on a highly topical issue.
Not too many details here but not bare bones either, Kate Birch has found the almost perfect presentation of the necessary information. I really appreciated the practical usefulness of the information provided. We all meet concerned parents who hesitate a lot about what to do about vaccines; this book will give correct and concentrated information. I strongly recommend it to each and every practitioner. – Dr. J. Rozencwajg, Homeopathic Links

This book includes presumably all the magazine articles by Boenninghausen, and a few of the smaller of the pamphlets written by him. The translations were made by Prof. L.H. Tafel especially for this book. It has been the pleasure of the editor to collect the articles and in order so to do, all the German and French journals have been examined very carefully. These articles have been translated from the original journals and have been examined very carefully. These articles have been translated from the original journals, and phraseology has been left intact.

It is the hope that the book will be some advantage to those of our school who have not advances so far as to consider Boenninghausen’s opinion behind the times.

The Genius of Homoeopathy comprise a series of lectures delivered at the New York Homoeopathic Medical College. Close was a student of P.P. Wells and Bernhardt Fincke. This book is one of the clearest statements about the philosophical basis of homeopathic study ever compiled. It is written with extreme clarity.

The Advanced Guide for Professional Homeopaths completes the trio of valuable reference books for the professional homeopath. Building on previous works, Hahnemann Revisited and Achieving and Maintaining the Simillimum, this book will help homeopaths overcome challenging obstacles to their own difficult cases. The topics of potency selection and miasms are revisited to make them more practical for the homeopathic practice, suggesting a golden middle way, a path about results instead of passions. New topics are also presented: 11 questions the practitioner must ask him or herself in order to find the simillimum with maximum confidence. The epidemic of “special needs children” that we are witnessing at this time is addressed with a chapter focusing on the intrauterine experience. Herings observations are amplified with additions, either from the practice or from other modalities such as psychology and Traditional Chinese Medicine. And this book builds the bridge to the next book: Beyond Jung: Delusions, Dreams, and Homeopathy. Beyond Jung explains the most interesting and advanced method to find the simillimum by using Carl Jung’s definition of a core delusion, plus the patient’s etiology and their compensations.
Luc De Schepper, MD, PhD, Lic.Ac, homeopath, Hahnemannian scholar, and lecturer, is known to hundreds of students as a brilliant and inspiring lecturer and to thousands of patients as a gentle and compassionate healer. Dr. Luc has devoted years researching Hahnemann’s 4th, 5th, and 6th editions of the Organon, all editions of Chronic Diseases, and the Paris Case Books, plus many lesser known works of the great masters. Soon after receiving his medical degree in his native Belgium in 1971, he began studying homeopathy as part of a PhD program in acupuncture. He also studied with Robin Murphy and with the British Institute of Homeopathy but learned the most spending years studying the Old Masters in thousands of old journals. Dr. Luc began incorporating classical homeopathy into his holistic practice upon moving to the US in 1982, using homeopathy exclusively since 1991. His Renaissance Institute of Classical Homeopathy provides professional training in Boston, MA, Secaucus, NJ and Las Vegas, NV to healthcare professionals. Dr. Luc devotes part of his time helping the poor in developing countries and intends to do so until the end of his life. He has a private practice in Pacific Palisades, California.

By its sheer scope and detail, this text recommends itself as one of the best modern textbooks on the subject that is currently available. It is written with great clarity and might be seen to compromise a modern version of Kent’s Lectures, Close’s Lectures and Vithoulkas’ Science of Homeopathy all rolled into one…Indeed, if a student only purchased this book, a materia medica and a good repertory, it is hard to see how they could not soon become an excellent practitioner…It is definitive, authoritative and comprehensive in scope, content and detail. Whichever other general text one compares it with, this book comes out very favourably. I therefore recommend it most highly as an extremely valuable addition to the literature, for students and established practitioners…It seems certain that this book will quickly and easily establish itself as a popular general textbook on homeopathy. It seems destined to become a classic text in the field for many years to come. – Peter Morrell in Simillimum
A magnificent treatise in the foundations, healing process and chronic miasms of Homeopathy. Of special interest are the explanations of LM potencies, Homeopathy and its relationship to Traditional Chinese Medicine, cancer, bowel nosodes, delusions, and epidemic and intrauterine prescribing. Dr. De Schepper clearly demonstrated his exceptional knowledge of classical homeopathy and all of its major masters. – Richard Hiltner, M.D., D.Ht., President of the California State Homeopathic Medical Society and Editor of Western Homeopathic Journal
I whole-heartedly endorse this book for both students and teachers interested in learning about homeopathy. Written in a lively style and accentuated with interesting historical perspectives and pertinent case examples….numerous illustrations to help students visualize key concepts….thorough, comprehensible, and useful information…will be invaluable in my own teaching of homeopathy to pharmacy students. – June Riedlinger, R.Ph., Pharm.D., Assistant Professor of Clinical Pharmacology, and Director, Center for Integrative Therapies in Pharmaceutical Care, Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Allied Health Sciences

People today are rediscovering homeopathy, yet few understand this individualized approach to health and disease. Dr. Dooley brings over 25 years of training and experience in a wide range of health sciences to this novel introduction to homeopathy – what it is, how it differs, when to use it, what to expect, how to get results.

“Conventional medicine is ‘flat earth’ in that it approaches health problems from the perspective of the disease instead of the patient. Just as the earth appears flat and the sun appears to revolve around the earth, so also it appears that physicians treat patients when treating their diseases. This is not true! AS you will see, it is possible to treat the patient directly, as a whole.”

Dr. Dooley is a graduate of National College of Naturopathic Medicine as well as Oregon Health Sciences University School of Medicine. He was a co-founder of Grants Pass Naturopathic Clinic in Oregon, medical director of emergency services at Del Puerto Hospital in California, and volunteered with Ananda Marga Universal Relief Team in Mexico and India. He is on the faculty at Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine and writes a monthly self-care column in Homeopathy Today. He lives with his family in San Diego, California where he practices Homeopathy.

“Several Editions” speak more conveniently in praise of a book than any words reviewer or publisher could utter. Dr. Carol Dunham, after graduating himself from the Columbia College, New York, made the acquaintance of Dr. Constantine Hering, one of the greatest physicians ever born, who became too helpful to him as well as generous and genial friend. In the meantime he continued his study under Dr. Boenninghausen with a desire to know everything within the enclosure of the school of Homeopathy. Subsequently he gratified himself with Doctorate from College of Physicians and Surgeons of New York.
But did he stop there? No. He wanted to drink the cup of knowledge up to its last drop. He began to study under many of the Greatest Physicians and Specialists of Europe for years.
Dr. Dunham delivered his knowledge in his book “Lectures on Materia Medica,” and immortal part of Homeopathic literature, an indispensable library aid to the practicing Homeopathic practitioners.
The lectures contained in these volumes were delivered by Dr. Dunham while he occupied the chair of Materia Medica in the New York Homeopathic Medical College.
They have been edited from his note-books, practically verbatim, and are the ripe fruit of his thought and experience, - in his own latest words, “too valuable to be lost”.

“This book offers an invitation: a subtle and simply irresistible one. From myth to neuroscience, from provings to cases, it offers the reader every possible approach. Diving for our antecedents in evolution, we rediscover senses that we have long forgotten. Emerging from the depths of this work, sea remedies cease to be just remedies. Future homeopathic books will be measured against this one.” – Franz Swoboda, MD, Austria. Editor of Documenta Homoeopathica, Homoeopathic Physican.

“This book is the most extensive collection of remedies from the realm of the oceans, and takes homeopathic materia medica to a deeper level of understanding. The author’s sensitivity of perception and ability to extract the vital information from natural science, qualitative science, literature and the homoeopathic knowledge base, comes together in a coherent presentation of sensations and functions, valuable polarities, and common themes of groups and sub-groups. The beautiful design and pictures bring you, like a dive, face to face with the colourful realm of the sea and its remedies.” – Andreas N. Bjorndal, MNHL, Homeopath and Principal of the Norwegian Academy of Natural Medicine, Oslo

“Jo Evans has written a beautifully illustrated and meticulously researched book on the sea remedies that stands to become a classic. Sea Remedies, Evolution of the Senses expands one’s understanding of these valuable remedies by providing a vast amount of empirical data on provings and medical application, as well as stimulating the imagination through an intimate understanding of the substance and its role in mythology.” – Jane Cicchett, RSHom(NA), CCH, Homeopath, international teacher and author of Dreams, Symbols and Homeopathy, publ. North Atlantic books, USA

“Quality homeopathic source books are fundamental to our accuracy as prescribers. Coordinating, compiling, researching and participating in some of the provings that have contributed to this work has been an all consuming labour of love for many years. TO see them so beautifully incorporated into this great body of work by Jo Evans is so personally and professionally satisfying. She has done a fantastic job of bringing these new medicines to life, and to important practical use within the homeopathic community.” – Alastair C Gray, MSc, RSHom, Practitioner of Homeopathic Medicine, Educator and Trainer in Homeopathic, Natural and Integrative Medicine, Australia, New Zealand and internationally

“By telling the story of the senses, the author invites us into the depths of our innermost experience: the origin of life and our emotions…Offers exceptional opportunities for both homeopathic patients and prescribers. A beautiful and phenomenologically meaningful book. – Maurizio Italiano MD, Lecturer in Classical Homeopathy at the WHO Collaborating Center for Traditional Medicine, Center for Research in Medical Bioclimatology, Biotechnologies and Natural Medicines, State University of Milan. Scientific Director of Dulcamara, accredited teaching center of the Faculty of Homeopaths (UK), in Genoa, Italy.

Homoeopathic literature in a vast treasure which is filled with all kinds of gem-stones and crystals. Though all of these are valuable and precious, some are very popular these days while others have been forgotten by most of us.
Lectures on Clinical Materia Medica (with gist of each lecture) by E.A. Farrington, M.D. is a sincere effort towards the revamping of the old book. Clinical Materia Medica by Farrington is a gem which many popular Homoeopaths use and employ daily to become great Homoeopaths (but like typical Homoeopaths they will not tell others).

Though it is a very nicely written book, it is not as popular as Kent’s Lectures on Materia Medica. In fact unlike Kent's book there are no repetitions and it is very lucid as compared to lectures by Kent.

This new book will be a boon to every aspiring as well as experienced homoeopath who desires to deliver best to the suffering humanity. No tempering has been done with the lectures. Gist has been added as a value-added feature.

The insects are the largest and most important class of the animal kingdom. They are central to all aspects of life on Earth being major forces in both the creation and destruction of life. In spite of this importance they have not yet has a significant role in homeopathy. In the last decade a dozen new insect provings have opened up the remedy pictures and given us an insight into the properties of the group as a whole. The issues of the insects correspond to those of the modern world and modern disease yet they are still little understood and considerably underused.
This is the first study of the known insect remedies and it outlines the features that are common to the whole group and the often subtle distinctions that differentiate between them.
Transformation between the realms: The remedies that move between the Realms of Sea, Earth, Sky and Underworld have a particular dynamic relationship to that transformation. Understanding this dynamic helps to understand the group as a whole and to find the subtle different between its members. Groups include the Insects, the Birds, the Spiders, the Snakes, the Lacs, the Drugs and the Trees.
“Peter’s series of books has been a revelation. The discrimination between insects and birds is so succinct it is hard to believe it is so true. I can think of no homeopathic books available which give so much wisdom for such a small cost! They have inspired my practice, and benefited my patients.” – Geoff Johnson
“This book is remarkably informative, not only in the description of the different Insect remedies but more importantly in delineating how the traits of the insects are expressed in human pathology. The information is practical and brings alive the Insect remedies in a way that is exciting and inspiring.” – Janet Snowdon

The snake remedies form a vital part of the materia medica. Lachesis is one of the most important of the polychrests but its very importance and prominence has overshadowed the many other snake remedies that are available to us. In many cases where Lachesis, or another of the well known snakes, has some effect a more precise choice of a lesser known snake remedy might have a deeper and more dramatic curative effect.
This book includes a description of the snake remedies in general and of the symptoms that indicate the need for a snake remedy. It also includes a differentiation between the individual snakes, some of which are well known but many of which are new or little understood.
Transformation between the realms: The remedies that move between the Realms of Sea, Earth, Sky and Underworld have a particular dynamic relationship to that transformation. Understanding this dynamic helps to understand the group as a whole and to find the subtle different between its members. Groups include the Insects, the Birds, the Spiders, the Snakes, the Lacs, the Drugs and the Trees.

There are a large number of spider remedies that have been proved and are now available and it is often difficult to differentiate between them. With the spider remedies the need for extremely precise and careful differentiation seems to be even more important than it is with other remedies. When a spider remedy is called for, those that are not exactly correct will often have very little or no significant effect and only the one that is indicated will be effective.
This book includes an understanding of the general spider picture that will show the need for a spider remedy. It also includes a detailed picture of the known spiders and their distinguishing features which can be used to differentiate between them.
Transformation between the realms: The remedies that move between the Realms of Sea, Earth, Sky and Underworld have a particular dynamic relationship to that transformation.

The bird remedies have rapidly become a significant part of practice. The general picture of the bird remedy may be relatively clear but the differences between the different species can be subtle and hard to pin down precisely.
This book brings together information on forty different remedies, much f it not readily available elsewhere. It gives a general outline of the features important to birds and how these features are expressed in the bird remedies. It then looks at the individual remedies and details the way that particular issues are important in one remedy and less so in others. It also looks at the emerging relationships between bird families and such things as the relationship between predator and prey.

“Peter brings a fine focus that penetrates the outer veils to reveal the simpler and truer nature of things. This leads to brevity of expression as well as concentration of the material: an aqua vitae from which we may sip and understand. The information given is really useful in practice, helping me to recognize similima. I have been eagerly awaiting this book.” – Misha Norland

Comments about other titles in the series:
“Here is a beautiful book written by an author who lives and breathes the subject – this knowledge permeates the writing making it a useful work-book for the committed student.” – Misha Norland
“Peter has quite brilliantly drawn together the threads of the higher realms of human experience and brought them down to earth to be of immense practical use in our everyday practice.” – Janet Snowdon
The proving is a vital part of homeopathy. It is the process by which remedies are discovered, explored and added to the materia medica. Without provings we would not have any information on non toxic substances and only the crudest picture of toxic ones.
Understanding how a proving works and how to read a proving gives us a much clearer picture of what we know about a remedy and how we know it. We can make a clearer judgement of how accurate and how comprehensive is the information found in the materia medica and so understand accurately how well it matches the picture of our patient’s disease.

This book gives a beautiful introduction and depicts the entire scope of modern homeopathy. It recounts 13 exciting and touching life stories of patients who all share something in common: they were healed by homeopathy of sever, often “incurable” diseases and experienced what this wonderful approach to medicine can bring about – to become “whole again”.
The authors – a sensitive homeopathic physician and his wife, a journalist, with astonishing skill – selected these cases from world-renowned homeopaths such as Rajan Sankaran and Jan Scholten and verifies them independently.
We become acquainted with the Indian executive, who was partially paralyzed byt a herniated disc and was soon able to walk again after a dose of his remedy; or Maria, who was born with a severe handicap but improved dramatically and performed well in school with the help of homeopathy; or a woman from the Netherlands, whose remedy helped her to feel her body again after 30 years of numbness resulting from a severe burn accident.
Yes, sometimes the entire lives of these patients have dramatically changed through homeopathic treatment. The stories are so lively and moving, that one will never forget them. What remains is a feeling that nothing is impossible. This is a book that induces hope.
“One of the most beautiful – maybe the most beautiful book about homeopathy.” – Journal Natur Medizin

224 pages, paperback

Homeopathic remedies come from every part of the world and from all the kingdoms of nature – mineral, vegetable, animal and microbe. They include strong poisons such as arsenic, the venom of deadly snakes and the products of disease, as well as harmless substances like sand and charcoal, and herbs whose healing properties have been handed down through generations and are celebrated in history and legend.
Dr. Douglas Gibson (1888-1977) was a distinguished homeopath who recognized the importance of knowing the materia medica in depth. These studies of remedies, first published in the British Homoeopathic Journal over that period 1963-1977, combine the panorama of each remedy with a faithful description of the mental and physical symptoms it elicits from a sensitive prover. The whole remedy is indeed used to treat the whole patient.
His studies are edited here for publication in book form. They differ from any previously published materia medica in the uniquely wide range of insights that are brought to bear on each remedy. They will be of great practical value, and a source of pleasure and stimulation, to the homeopathic clinician.
Dr. Gibson studied medicine at St Thomas’ Hospital, London, subsequently taking the Edinburgh FRCS. After many years as a medical missionary in China he came to study homeopathy at the Royal London Homoeopathic Hospital, where he became first a Member and then a Fellow of the Faculty of Homoeopathy. Dr Marianne Harling and Dr Brian Kaplan are practising homoeopathic doctors.
