1896. This book is intended to be an introduction and an aid to
fuller study and wider acceptance of Hahnemann_s doctrine. His
Organon is the great textbook of the homeopathic school. It
contains philosophical conceptions and practical directions for the
establishment of a true science of therapeutics and all genuine
progress towards this goal is in the direction pointed out in that
work. To fix its principles clearly in the mind of the student, to
faithfully apply them in practice is the special duty and high
privileges of homeopathy. The more this is done, the more this book
becomes a veritable mountain of therapeutic light to the
practitioner.
The popularity of homeopathy has been increasing dramatically both
in America and worldwide. Annual world sales of homeopathic
remedies are approaching two billion dollars. In this thorough
examination of homeopathy, physicist Jay W. Shelton analyzes the
history, the remedies, the logical inconsistencies, and the
effectiveness of this popular alternative medicine. Invented by
German physician Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843), homeopathy is based
on two key principles: (1) the law of similars--symptoms induced in
healthy volunteers after ingestion of a substance are the same
symptoms in sick people that this substance will cure; and (2) the
concept of "potentization"--the most diluted remedies have the
greatest curative power. Shelton clearly shows that although these
principles may have had the ring of science in the early 19th
century, they are not well supported by today's science. And yet,
most patients who visit homeopaths are better afterwards.
Homeopaths assume the remedies are the cause. Shelton finds
explanations based on known science to be better supported by the
evidence. Unassisted natural healing, changes in lifestyle urged by
the homeopath, the placebo effect, and cessation of harmful
treatments are more probable causes of improved health. This being
the case, he pursues the question why so many people continue to
believe that the remedies themselves are responsible. Among the
contributing factors Shelton notes: the plausible-sounding
explanations of homeopathic theory, a fundamental misunderstanding
among homeopaths of science and its methods, and, ultimately, the
poor quality of education in critical thinking and science. This
reasoned, balanced, and in-depth assessment willinterest both
homeopaths and conventional medical practitioners, as well as
consumers curious about a well-known and much-publicized
alternative medicine.
Volume 1 of 2: The characteristic and guiding symptoms of all
remedies, clinical and pathogenetic. This book contains the well
known verified characteristic symptoms of all our medicines besides
other less important symptoms aiding the selection of the curative
remedy. All the new medicines and essentials of the published
clinical experience of the school have been added. This is a
succinct resume of the symptomatology of every medicine used in
Homeopathy.
Resonance is a systematic treatise on the homeopathic point of view, covering both philosophy and method.

This is a classical text written by the Late Dr HL Chitkara who was
one of the stalwarts of Homeopathy. He was one of the key people
who worked on prescribing only on the basis of mind symptoms. The
book is a compilation of rubrics of 892 remedies from Synthetic
Repertory and few other sources (marked with asterix). This is an
exclusive work of its kind by which one can understand the link
between Materia Medics and Repertory. There are so many rubrics
which we are unaware of, with this book all such rubrics come to
light. Similarly there are so many remedies for a rubric which we
don't think about in our day-to-day practice which are revealed in
the book. This compilation is more comprehensive, more authentic,
more accurate and more elucidate than any other work of this kind
done to date.
'Longer you see in the past Further you see in future'. This is an
old wisdom by a historian who understood the necessity of studying
history from a utilitarian point of view. There are thousands of
publications on 'History of Medicine'. Study of history is not only
to study the account of period, circumstances, importance and
implications of great discoveries but also of the biographical
account of the great geniuses and great men involved. This book
teaches the evolution of the Sciences and Art of Medicine and keeps
us alert and watchful against follies of the past and tendencies
which were responsible for them. In addition it tells us about the
logic, necessity and methods of discarding or avoiding those
follies.
This is the first book of its kind which tries to establish the
scientific authenticity of the vital force by elaborating and
proving Vital Force is OXYGEN, in the most significant manner and
helps in easy understanding. The author is the founder of unique
and only existent Homeopathic hospital world-wide Aditya
Homoeopathic Hospital and Healing Centre. The book has tried to
draw a similarity between every aspect of oxygen, in health and
sickness with vital force. This work could be an answer to the
sceptics in the contemporary medicine, who are always doubting the
scientific realism and legitimacy of Homeopathy. It features a
coherent portrayal of the working of vital force on human body, its
mechanism, its functioning, its damages and more. In this title:
effusive explanation of disease dynamics with regards to oxygen and
vital force is explained; opinions of Master Hahnemann and other
pioneers of homeopathy regarding the vital force have been
described and discussed in detail; and relationship of vital force
with emotions and miasm makes for an interesting read.
