Costa Rica proving describes the fifth proving seminar in Costa Rica. It turns out that the proving are getting better over the years. The quality of the proving is becoming more accurate and the essence of the remedy is discovered amore or less broadly. The provers get the Remedy code partially or totally from the proving. The Remedy code is the code as developed in the Plant theory which has been published in Wonderful plants. It is astonishing how accurate they often find the Remedy code, partially or totally. The proving show often new aspect of the remedy or family to which it belongs. In these proving the two remedies from the Piperaceae showed strongly the aspect of the neglect child, but then in a more general way. It showed that the western culture of laying babies in their own bed, far away from the parents is a cultural problem, reflected in the Piperaceae.

The conclusion of a journey is not the end; it is merely the beginning of the next one.
The choice of the potency of a homeopathic remedy has always been a subject of controversy.
While looking for a natural law that could direct this choice, I stumbled upon the Fibonacci series that is present everywhere in the universe.
By using those potencies in the correct order with the correct timing, a faster, deeper and more complete resolution of problems and cure of pathologies has been constantly obtained.
The theoretical basis for using this system is presented here, followed by practical applications based in a series of real cases.
Answers to many other questions that have plagued the homeopathic community are also answered, as a beneficial side-effect of this new system of prescription.

Here you see the result of a great and thorough work: an important book in homeopathy’s growth to maturity.

Margriet Plouvier has created an extremely workable overview of the functioning of different potencies by systematically and logically arranging her observations of the therapeutic effect after prescriptions. This is a great support when we try to choose the appropriate potency for a case.There are many theories about the use of the best potency, but until now it is more tradition and conviction that are determinative instead of systematic research. Being the pharmacist of a homeopathic pharmacy, I see many recipes every day; so I have an overview of many prescriptions. I also have knowledge of clinical and fundamental research in homeopathy: this research doesn’t show any useful difference of result between D, C, K, or LM potencies.Very little study has been done into the exact differences in functioning between the several potency-systems. It is impossible to have a preference based on clinical and fundamental research. Nevertheless I notice that doctors and therapist have their strong personal preferences. This book shows the corresponding effect of potencies from different potency- systems.

The question is: what is most important? Is the difference in effect of the several potencies secondary to the choice of the simillimum in the potency appropriate to the case?

Modern homeopathic practice, whilst moving into new and exciting areas, is still based on the three great works of Hahnemann - the Organon, Chronic Diseases and Materia Medica Pura.

Yet these pillars of practice are themselves based on the years of doubts, observation, thoughts and experimentation which are revealed in Hahnemann's other writings and letters. To fully understand and utilise the modern developments, it is necessary to appreciate where the true roots of modern homeopathy lie.

Many of the problems facing homeopathy today were also faced by Hahnemann and his followers. This book will examine the growth of homeopathy within the context of Hahnemann's legacy that continues to inform today's practitioners and guide the development of their practice.

On the other axis he uses the quality of colour affinity, which he attributes to mental, physical and spiritual indications. In assessing and combining these qualities and forms, the practitioner is guided to a group of crystals, which have an affinity to the situation or condition at hand. The chart can be used as a foundation to select a gem essence, to take the homeopathic preparation of a gem or to wear the gem itself.

This book is a companion to Wonderful Plants. It presents the results of about 200 provings performed in the course of many years. They form part of the base on which the plant theory has been been build. Many plants from families little known or unknown in homeopathy are giving their pictures in these provings. A wealth of information.

A theory of provings gives an insight into the several formats of provings, their value, strength, weakness and essence.

Introduction:

Companion of Wonderful Plants
This book is a companion of the book "Wonderful Plants", where the Plant theory is described. My original idea was to publish the proving in this book in the Wonderful plant book. But gradually that gave more problems. The proving take up much space and Wonderful Plants would have become thicker and heavier. A second objection is that the provings, especially the long ones like the picture proving disrupt the flow of the Wonderful plant book. Therefore I decided to place the proving in a separate book., the book Sense proving. It is meant as a reference book for further study.

A satirical cocktail book featuring seventy-seven cocktail recipes accompanied by arcane trivia on Mennonite history, faith, and cultural practices. At last, you think, a book of cocktails that pairs punny drinks with Mennonite history! Yes, cocktail enthusiast and author of the popular Drunken Mennonite blog Sherri Klassen is here to bring some Low German love to your bar cart. Drinks like Brandy Anabaptist, Migratarita, Thrift Store Sour, and Pimm’s Cape Dress are served up with arcane trivia on Mennonite history, faith, and cultural practices. Arranged by theme, the book opens with drinks inspired by the Anabaptists of sixteenth-century Europe (Bloody Martyr, anyone?), before moving on to religious beliefs and practices (a little like going to a bar after class in Seminary, but without actually going to class). The third chapter toasts the Mennonite history of migration (Old Piña Colony), and the fourth is all about the trappings of Mennonite cultural identity (Singalong Sling). With seventy-seven recipes, ripping satire, comical illustrations, a cocktails-to-mocktails chapter for the teetotallers, and instructions on scaling up for barn-raisings and funerals, it’s just the thing for the Mennonite, Menno-adjacent, or merely Menno-curious home mixologist.

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.

The work of a homeopathic student while studying and applying materia medica is one to constantly compare and differentiate. He must compare the pathogenesis of a remedy with the recorded anamnesis of the patient; he must differentiate the apparently similar symptoms of two or more medicinal agents in order to select the simillimum. To enable the student or practitioner to so this correctly the student must have proper knowledge of the individuality of the remedy; something that is peculiar, uncommon, or sufficiently characteristic in the polychrest remedy that may be used as a pivotal point of comparison. This pivotal point may be a 'keynote', a 'characteristic', or the 'red strand of rope'. This excellent work by Dr. H.C. Allen helps the reader to grasp the PQRS symptoms in no time.

"The mind is an epiphenomenon of the body, and the body is an epiphenomenon of the mind. We operate as body-minds. The body is the visibility of the soul, and the soul is the life of the body. You cannot deal with everything by sheer will power or mental approaches. We are embodied in a physical cosmos, and we have our bill to pay to physical existence. And that includes our relationship to the physical aspect of the earth; it means to plants, stones, and animals."

-Edward C. Whitmont

On Psyche & Substance:
"Drawing upon the works of Paracelsus, Goethe, Planck, and Jung, these essays by Edward Whitmont spanning the past 25 years indicate a profound grasp of the issues fundamental to the current transitional period of modern medicine. Through the essays is an emphasis upon the dynamic interplay between allopathy and homeopathy, psyche and soma, inner and outer ecology which are resolved in the wisdom of the eternal tao. Above all else, Whitmont's life-affirming philosophy places these archetypal patterns in a historic context extending from medieval alchemists to molecular biologists and restores a sense of balance to the dynamic which is life itself." 
-Kenneth R. Pelletier, Ph.D., Associate Clinical Professor, Department of Psychiatry, Langley Porter Neuropsychiatric Institute, University of California, San Francisco.

"Every page of this book questions our basic assumptions as to the nature of mind and matter, and challenges us to take a fresh look at old, familiar concepts. No serious student of homeopathy can afford to neglect thoughtful study of these writings."
-Maesimund Panos, M.D., former President, National Center for Homeopathy.

"As in his remarkable work The Symbolic Quest, Dr. Whitmont demonstrates his ability to penetrate through what is visible and tangible to grasp underlying truths by the symbolic method. This volume will be of value not only to those with a specific interest in homeopathy, but also to readers with a psychological orientation and to those simply interested in the connectedness of mind and nature." 
-R. James Yandell, M.D., Ph.D., C.G. Jung Institute, San Francisco.

Dreams, Symbols and Homeopathy will fascinate those interested in homeopathy and psychology alike – including analytical psychologists intrigued by how homeopathy can be integrated with Jungian theory. Jan Cicchetti shows how C.G. Jung’s concepts of the archetypes, the collective unconscious, the shadow, and the soul’s journey towards individuation can be applied to healing. She describes how dreams can aid the homeopath, often using her own dreams as an example. Cicchetti describes Jung’s typology of psychological classification, and furnishes a Jungian-style symbolic materia medica of homeopathic remedies. She brings new focus to unusual remedies from trees, vines, the seven alchemical metals, and milks.
In this satisfying new work, Cicchetti shows how important the unconscious is in bringing the body back into health.
Jane Cicchetti has made a brilliant integration of homeopathy, Jungian psychotherapy, dream analysis, and alchemical symbolism. She picks up where Edward C. Whitmont (The Alchemy of Healing) left off. Her book is eminently useful for homeopaths and others interested in the relationship between the psyche and healing. – V. Water  Odajnyk, Jungian analyst, co-editor of Quadrant: Journal of the C.G. Jung Foundation for Analytical Psychology
Jane Cicchetti’s new book is one of the first to bring homeopathy in line with modern psychology and with Jungian psychology in particular. It brings much clarity to the subjects and helps us to understand their complimentary nature – Jan Scholten, M.D., author of Homeopathy and the Elements
Jane Cicchetti touches the unconscious Symbolic world of the reader. This book enriched not only my conscious awareness of the healing process, but also enlivened my unconscious world. My dream world started to awaken; I began to understand more about my dreams. The meaning of even very old dreams that I had previously not understood became clear. – Alize Timmerman, International Teacher of Homeopathy, Director of the Hahnemann Instituut, The Hague

"The important concepts of homeopathy should be studied most seriously not only by those in medicine but in all social sciences. Dana Ullman's book is an eye-opener!"
-Robert Muller, Former Assistant Secretary-General of the United Nations
"Too often books on alternative medicine resort to doctor-baiting and mellow-speak psychobabble. This book does neither. The author states his case for homeopathy well by citing numerous double-blind laboratory and clinical studies that merit the attention of medical professionals and the general public alike."
-Marvin McMillen, M.D., Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Surgery, Yale Medical School
"In the future, comprehensive health care will require an efficacious balance between allopathic, behavioral, and homeopathic interventions. By documenting the double-blind research concerning homeopathy and its clinical significance, Discovering Homoeopathy: Medicine for the 21st Century represents a landmark book in establishing this vital synthesis."

I believe that this approach will provide verification for therapies such as homeopathy. Discovering Homoeopathy: Medicine for the 21st Century presents a clear, concise, and fascinating review of the present status and scope of homeopathy for the general reader."

The publisher:

In The Alchemy of Healing Dr. Edward C. Whitmont explores the major themes of illness, health, and the practice of medicine. Uniquely qualified by his personal associations with such pioneers as Carl Jung, M. Esther Harding, Karl Konig, Elizabeth Wright Hubbard, and G.B. Stearns, Whitmont takes a daring plunge into the paradoxes of homeopathic medicine, psychoanalytic transference, quantum physics, and the Gaia Hypothesis. Deftly exploring such subjects as Jungian synchronicity, alchemy, the I Ching, and the Law of Similars, he hints at the unknown principles fusing organism, planet, and cosmos and at a healing principle so profound it is written in both the stars and the sub-molecular traces of molecules.

In this landmark work that addresses for the first time in our century the esoteric role of the physician in the drama of life and death, Whimont provides a forum for one of the most neglected voices of Western Civilization—that of disease—revealing how it is our own abandoned and depreciated voice. In challenging the myth of mechanical medicine he provides a clue as to how we might yet heal ourselves and our planet.
