Complaints due to anger and mortification – an everyday issue in homeopathic practice. Mortification
can be expressed as a feeling of shame, wounded honour, or loss of self-confidence.
The famous Italian homeopath Massimo Mangialavori describes in this work the most important homeopathic remedies that have proved particularly useful for these problems in his practice. He highlights especially the less well-known and often forgotten remedies.
He presents impressive cases of Ipecacuanha, Senega officinalis, and Magnetis polus australis, differentiating these in detail from other remedies such as Ferrum magneticum, Antimonium tartaricum, Chelidonium, Ignatia, the Bromine, and Chlorine salts, Paris quadrifolia, Chamomilla, Staphisagria as well as the Scrophulariaceae and Liliaceae.
Massimo Mangialavori is known for his graphic remedy descriptions in which he brings out the essential nuances of homeopathic remedies in a concise and vivid way. This handy booklet is a great opportunity to get to know the working methods of Massimo Mangialavori in this important area.
The new remedy Cola belongs to the group of drug remedies. Drugs are often used to heighten or expand perception, to enable the user to cross boundaries which Nature has set to the human powers of perception. The drugs cannabis, coca (“sacred plant of the Incas”), cola (“food of the gods”) and peyote (“flesh of God”) are seen as “divine substances” which create a link with the gods and spirits.
This full Hahnemannian proving with 23 participants revealed feelings of invincibility, the idea of being able to carry the whole world on one’s shoulders, or being able to see through the material person into the innermost being or read a person’s thoughts, i.e. mainly divine qualities and abilities which the provers ascribe to themselves, thus demonstrating a delusion of grandeur.
Insatiability is a central idea of the remedy (“I am like a bottomless pit”). The new remedy shows and effect in eating disorders (Insatiability and fear of being poisoned), mania and hyperactivity, disturbance of sugar metabolism, gastrointestinal illness with diarrhoea, problems with self-confidence, depression, sleepiness (fatigue), anxiety dreams and migraine. In Cola patients I have found a history of drug-taking with heroin, LSD and cocaine, a history of dipsomania or food abuse with others.
Bernd Schuster is classical homeopath and psychologist. With Bamboo he added an important remedy to homeopathic Materia Medica. Cola is his second homeopathic proving.

“And further, while we were preparing the so-called old medicines we never forgot our position as explorers of the unknown world of results, of effects; never forgetting the groundwork of our healing art, we prepared from time to time new machines also; we made regular provings at least once a year, often twice a year and even three times a year. These provings were the high feasts in our church, and you cannot consider yourselves true members of it without joining these feasts.
Proving is a most wonderful thing, the world has never known its like. We suffer, and we enjoy it; we sacrifice a little of our comfort, and gain years of strength by it; we go to school to learn, and we increase the certainty of the healing art. At the same time, to prove drugs is of all other ways the very best, the nearest and the easiest to learn to master our Materia Medica. It is the way to learn; to observe the art of arts, the principle one on which all others is based.” - Constantine Hering
Excerpt from Introduction: Over the last few years I have completed complete Hahnemannian provings of Scorpion, Hydrogen, Chocolate, Brassica, Germanium, Neon and Adamas. These have provided me with the opportunity to gain a wealth of experience, and thus I offer this work as a catalogue of my knowledge to date, with the aim that it will lead to a greater understanding of the subject and to more provings of quality. To this end I have researched most available sources and combined these with my own understanding gained from conducting provings.
These notes are neither final nor definitive. Rather they are a guide, an assimilation of ideas to be revised and added to. Our science is young and we all have much to learn. I therefore look forward to the comments and ideas of my colleagues.

This book will enhance the understanding and practice of homeopathy in the 21st century.
Part one describes how disease has developed alongside technological advances. It traces the development of miasmatic illness in parallel with the evolution of human society, and shows how the recent communications revolution has resulted in a totally new miasm: the AIDS miasm.
Part two illustrates in depth how the new homeopathic remedies are true pictures of the needs of today’s patients and how vital they are to treat contemporary diseases.

The Organon of Medicine by Samuel Hahnemann contains a treasure of information about every aspect of homeopathy, including Hahnemann's views on best practice and how homeopathy works.
Grant Bentley examines aspects of The Organon in reference to contemporary practice, with focus on its place in relation to scientific thought and universal principles. Through examining natural laws, the author highlights the important strengths of the foundations of homeopathy, while also indicating some aspects of Hahnemannian thinking that are open to new interpretation, in the light of a further 200 years of practice.
Building upon the author's clinical use of natural law in determining miasmatic dominance, How Aphorism 27 Changed The World is an important addition to the homeopathic library.
Grant Bentley has written three other homeopathic books -Appearance and Circumstance, Homeopathic Facial Analysis and Soul & Survival. His methodology Homeopathic Facial Analysis (HFA) is practiced around the world. Grant is a homeopathic practitioner, teacher and scholar, and is currently the principal lecturer of the Victorian College of Classical Homeopathy in Melbourne, Australia.
In 1808, Samuel Hahnemann, the founder of Homeopathy, began to call the law of similars a “law of nature” - a provocative and controversial statement. 200 years later, homeopathy is still as controversial as it was then. It has, therefore, become necessary to define homeopathy’s “state of the art” and especially the state of research on homeopathy.
The editors initiated a process based on an interdisciplinary approach. The main objectives were to identify problems in the different fields of homeopathy research and to develop recommendations for future research.
The discussion and decision process was based on input from experts with considerable experience in homeopathy representing five different research disciplines: history of homeopathy, case studies, pathogenic trials, clinical research and basic research.
This book summarizes the decision and consensus process by providing [1] an overview of the current state of research on homeopathy and [2] the results.

Originally devised at 36000 feet over Siberia, this book was initially commissioned by the Royal Pharmaceutical Society for practising pharmacists and other health professionals. The second edition has been revised to make it more accessible to everyone and is laid out to make it easy to find the most important information on all aspects of homeopathy quickly and concisely. Part 1 - An introduction to the principles of homeopathy as a self-contained curative system. The basics of anthroposophy, biochemical tissue salts and flower remedies are also explained. Part 2 - 56 flow charts (decision trees) which will help properly target the most appropriate homeopathic remedy for a wide range of commonly seen acute conditions, whether you are an experienced practitioner or newcomer to homeopathy. The charts are complemented by supplementary materia medica notes to further inform your choice of remedy. The majority of remedies referenced in this book are readily available over the counter in pharmacies or online. "This book is one of the best-organised homeopathic works I have ever seen. It gives you confidence; it provides a footing for quick homeopathic action when time is of the essence. No theory, no prolonged intellectual discussion, just a guide to the action needed, here and now." - Ivo Wiesner in the Homeopathic Links Journal
There can be little doubt that ‘homeopathy works’. For all the controversy surrounding the nature and effect of homeopathic medicines, the clinical outcomes and improvement in wellbeing achieved by homeopathic treatment are consistently good. In many instances they defy the expectations of conventional biomedical treatment, and demonstrate the remarkable extent to which our minds and bodies are capable of self-regulation and self-healing. In this book, Dr Jeremy Swayne unpacks the therapeutic ‘black box’ of the homeopathic method. He describes in detail a process of clinical enquiry and observation that is essentially entirely conventional but that casts a new light on the dynamics of illness and healing. His analysis does not depend upon any a priori assumptions about the activity of homeopathic medicines, but insists that both their effects, and the contextual aspects of the therapeutic process that homeopathy exemplifies and that is so important in all medicine, demand fuller investigation. The implications for the future of clinical practice and medical science are truly profound.
This masterpiece of Materia Medica by Dr. William Boericke, is an accurate and a reliable compilation and one of the largest collection of verified facts of materia medica with clinical suggestions. This book contains known and verified characteristic symptoms of all our medicines besides other less important symptoms aiding the selection of the curative remedy. In its present form it contains the maximum number of reliable materia medica facts in the minimum space.
The book has been widely appreciated and praised by homeopathic fraternity for its in-depth analysis, modern terminology, dictionary, footnotes, font print and presentation.
William Boericke was born on October 25, 1849 in Austria. He graduated from the Philadelphia Medical College in 1876 and from Hahnemann Medical College in Philadelphia in 1880. Moving to San Francisco he took over the Boericke and Tafel pharmacy and practiced as a homeopath for over fifty years. He was the editor of the California Homeopath and co-founder of the Pacific Homeopathic Medical College and Hahnemann Hospital in 1881. He was also a member of faculty of the Hahnemann Medical College in San Francisco. In 1901 he authored Boericke’s Materia Medica. On April 1, 1929 he died of a massive heart attack.

After the great success of his work Children’s Types, we are pleased to announce Dr. Frans Kusse’s book of adults types. He has an uncanny ability to portray homeopathic types in a lively and straightforward manner such that we can see them in our mind’s eye – and so recognize them more easily in practice He focuses on the psychological characteristics.
A total of 60 of the most important homeopathic types are described in this book. Together with well-known remedies such as Aurum, Pulsatilla or Staphysagria, there are also descriptions of seldom remedies such as Lithium or Lac delphinium, which are increasingly used nowadays.
To give the types a vivid pictorial quality, 28 remedy descriptions are supplemented with 60 reliable photographic portraits by Dr. Hellmuth Beuchelt. Together with the finely judged descriptions, the result is a unique insight into the most important remedies.
“Frans Kusse writes grippingly and with refreshing clarity. I can recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the current developments in homeopathy.” – Jan Scholten

Often mistrusted, sometimes loathed, these creeping, crawling creatures are among the most distinctive Animal remedies in the homeopathic materia medica. Exploiting his zoological background and extensive clinical experience, Jonathan Hardy offers a vivid and enticing portrait of the Arachnid Group and its members, for both adults and children.
General themes, extracted from provings, case and repertories, are presented for the Arachnids overall, and there are clear differentiations for Spiders and Scorpions old and new. Typical physical pathology includes neurobehavioural and eating disorders, chronic fatigue and extremity symptoms.
These main strands are skilfully interwoven with information on miasms and specific biological features, offering choice morsels for individual remedies. We learn, for example, that size and self-confidence are central issues for the passive species Aranea diadema, whose much smaller male risks being eaten during mating. Aranea ixobola has the greatest anxiety regarding family members, and may suffer from psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis; while concerns over safety loom particularly large for Tegenaria atrica.
The analysis is supported throughout by colour photos and nearly twenty case histories, completing a fine web of interconnected material and shedding valuable light on this corner of the Animal Kingdom.

Core essences and paediatric cases for all the elements of the Iron, Silver and Gold series. The theory of elements is becoming increasingly popular in homeopathy. Patricia Le Roux, an experienced paediatrician from Marseille, demonstrates for the first time the use of this theory in the treatment of children.
The popular author describes with uncompromising clarity and simplicity all the remedies of the Iron, Silver and Gold series. She presents each remedy with an impressive case history, followed by an essence for each, as well as the remedy’s key symptoms.
The case descriptions range from infections, eczema, asthma, glomerulonephritis, rheumatoid arthritis and anaemia, all the way through to learning difficulties, developmental delays, depression and anorexia.
The book’s simple, almost abstract style convincingly conveys a sense that the author ‘lives’ these remedies and one sees how she prescribes with ease and accuracy. After reading this book, one is left eager to apply the methods in one’s own practice. The book really is “worth its weight in gold.”
“Patricia Le Roux is very good at looking for and finding the essence, in her patients and in the remedies. She has a great talent for incorporating the new theories in homeopathy and elaborating on them. And she has a great talent for successfully applying those theories to her patients.
Add to that her ability to write down her experiences in a precise and clear way and you will be convinced that this book is well worth having.” – Jan Scholten

Actinium, Uranium, Plutonium and others
The actinides, when transformed into homeopathic potencies, are remedies of our times, where life seems to be speeding up and old established systems are falling apart. Being at the far end of the periodic table, with the inherent tendency to decay, the Actinides correspond to the approach of death, the release of the physical state, the transition from the material realm into the realm of energy.
The states requiring Actinide remedies are powerfully charged. Actinides' patients can feel fragile and unstable, in a continuous state of chaos and threatened disintegration. Physically, there can be severe pathologies or malformations, often genetic. The person may feel like they are living in a wasteland, between life and death, as might in fact be the case.
In this book, Margriet Plouvier-Suijs shares with us her extensive experience of the Actinide remedies. She has learned to recognise these states not only in their severe forms, but in their subtle earlier manifestations as well, so that we can learn to prescribe these remedies before someone becomes so disastrously ill. She has included cases from other colleagues as well, broadening our knowledge and experience of these remedies. I most sincerely hope that this book will help us to utilise not only the more familiar Actinide remedies, but to venture out and learn to apply the full spectrum of Actinides in our practices.
from the Foreword by Deborah Collins
Radioactive elements can destroy white blood cells, and it takes a similar energy to cure this affliction.
This dark side cannot be ignored any longer. Pandora's box has been opened so that our only option is to enter fully, to discover the light at the end of this dark tunnel.
