Organon of the Medical
Art
The Sixth Edition
Edited and Annotated by
Wenda Brewster O'Reilly, PhD
Based on a translation by
Steven Decker
Softbound

The publication of the Hahnemann's Sixth Edition of The
Organon brought to light much that had been previously
unknown about Hahnemann's process of investigation and
discovery, and shattered dogmatic myths about what Hahnemann
believed was the correct way to diagnose ailments and administer
homeopathic remedies. While Hahnemann's interactions with
colleagues both supportive and antagonistic would, by today's
standards, give new meaning to the concept of "control
issues" (see Matthew Wood's Vitalism), in
the realm of his research and medical practice, he was
open to what the facts told him, iterative in his conclusions,
and flexible when change was needed. It's one of those
quirks of history that an English language Sixth Edition
didn't see a printing press until the mid-1990s.
Additionally, the Brewster/Decker editing/translating team
has given us sparkling clarity, well-phrased modern English,
and the most user-friendly version of any basic homeopathic
text in my experience. What they have achieved is nothing
short of transforming one of the most mysterious, arcane
documents a layperson could encounter (as represented by
former editions) into a highly readable, easy to comprehend,
dynamic and interesting book. As it is presented now, anyone
interested in the healing arts can pick up a copy of this
book, read it, and walk away with an expanded and vitalized
understanding of the human organism and the origins of disease.
In it you can learn everything from exactly how Hahnemann
made his remedies to how he understood the human organism,
disease and its treatments. There are amazing case histories,
discussions of allopathic vs. homeopathic treatment, and
historical tidbits tucked into some of the best annotations
ever written. Much more as well -- this is an exciting book,
one I hope many of you will read.

The Science and Art
of Healing
Ralph Twentyman
Introduction by Owen Barfield
Softbound
$50.00
|
 |

|
This is a remarkable book by a most experienced healer. It
is a healing experience to read it . . .
Journal of Alternative and Complementary
Medicine
The Science and Art of Healing has
been in and out of print since it first appeared about 15
years ago - those who managed to obtain copies before they
disappeared from the shelves held them close - guarding them
like the treasures they were.
Being able to offer it once again is a great
pleasure to me - and heartening in that the voice of one
of the most insightful modern healers can again be heard.
Dr. Twentyman is a homeopath with decades of
experience with both the materia medica and approach of Hahnemann
and its variations that are found in anthroposophical medicine.
Further, he is someone who has taken a longer view of the
nature of illness and disease, discovering the relationship
of historical and societal changes to the prevalance of types
of illness.
If you are interested in healing and the healing
arts, you will want to read this book. You will find both
a deep teacher and a very good friend.

Homeopathic
Remedies for the Stages of Life
Infancy, Childhood, and Beyond
Didier Grandgeorge, MD
Softbound
$16.95
|
 |

|
|
In addition to bringing us a highly useful and readable
guide for addressing many common illnesses, discomforts
and crises at different stages of life, Grandgeorge
has also painted a detailed and beautiful picture
of the unfolding human being, from conception to
death. His more than 20 years of experience as a
homeopathic practitioner and pediatrician have given
him an eye that allows him to spot the connections
between developmental landmarks and physical, mental
or emotional difficulties. These connections are
often far from obvious, but once mentioned they make
so much sense that we (or rather, I) wonder why we
(I) didn't notice it before. His homeopathic remedial
suggestions are doubly useful in that there is an
implied nursing and psychological approach couched
in most of them as well.
This is one of those little-known books that really
deserve more attention than they are getting. Homeopathic
Remedies for the Stages of Life has an enormous
amount to offer parents, teachers, and healers of
all persuasions.

Discovering Homeopathy
Your Introduction to the Science and Art of Homeopathic
Medicine
Dana Ullman
Foreword by Dr. Ronald W. Davey, Physician to Her Majesty
Queen Elizabeth II
Softbound
$16.95
|
 |

|
|
When I first encountered homeopathic medicine about 25 years
ago, it was really difficult to get even basic information.
Like everyone else who comes new to homeopathy, I had question
after question: How could a medicine work if the amount
of substance was so small as to be virtually non-existent?
Had it been tested? If it worked so well, why wasn't it well-known,
even mainstream? Finding answers to these and other questions
involved years of reading and discussion. In the meantime,
I had the persuasive evidence that these remedies healed my
children faster than anything else I tried (we're talking
minutes - really, minutes - as distinct from
the days it took for antibiotics to take effect) and
with no observable side effects. Still, I was very uncomfortable
with my lack of understanding and the fact that my questions
seemed to be clearly answered nowhere.
Happily, times have changed and Dana Ullman has written this
great book which answers every question I had and then some.
You will find a thorough, yet highly accessible treatment
of:
- how homeopathic remedies work
- why homeopathy came to be sidelined in the United States
- what research has been done
- an overview of approaches to treatment for pregnancy,
childhood, women's health, infectious disease, allergies,
chronic illness, injuries, mental health, and dentistry.
Included also is a resource guide for manufacturers, schools,
and more information.
Discovering Homeopathy is more than an introduction
- it is a class-A reference to just about any basic question
you may ever hold regarding homeopathy. Very highly recommended!

Homeopathic Medicine at Home
Maesimund B. Panos, M.D.
and Jane Heimlich
$12.95
|
 |
|
|
This is one of the two guides to homeopathic medicine that
helped me raise my children. I found it over 20 years ago,
when it was one of the only book written for the layperson
wanting to use these simple and highly effective remedies
for themselves and their family. The text and explanations
are uncluttered, the information clear and empowering. I especially
love the remedy charts, set out by category of illness. These
make it very easy, even in the middle of the night while tending
to a child with a suddenly high fever, to identify which symptoms
fit the pictures of the home remedies covered in this book.
I still use it and can't recommend it highly enough.

Everybody's Guide to Homeopathic
Medicines
Safe and Effective Remedies for You and Your Family
Stephen Cummings, MD and Dana Ullman, MPH
Softbound
$16.95
|
 |

|
|
This is the other guide to homeopathy that accompanied me
and my children as they were growing up. As with Panos's book,
I still return to it when someone in my family or a friend
is visited by illness. The edition I'm able to offer you contains
even more information and helpful tools than the one I have
loved for so long.
You'll learn how to:
- assess illnesses and identify clues that point to the
right remedy
- individualize homeopathic treatment
- decide when professional medical treatment is required
- gain access to leading homeopathic organizations and resources
Additionally, this new edition also includes two new features
that make selecting the correct remedy even faster and easier:
- Casetaking Questions, to guide your information-gathering
process in regard to symptoms
- Remedy Summaries, for at-a-glance identification of the
appropriate remedy
This is a great book - I hope it finds a place on every family's
bookshelf!

Homeopathic Medicine
for Children and Infants
Dana Ullman, M.P.H.
$13.95
|
 |
|
|
This is an excellent resource for parents wanting to use
natural healing methods that support the bodies response to
illness. The first half is organized by common ailments and
includes accessible descriptions of the symptoms addressed
by the various homeopathic medicines. Each ailment also includes
clear guidelines on when to seek medical attention. The second
half of Homeopathic Medicine for Children and Infants
is the most thorough Materia Medica of common remedies that
I have ever found in a book written for home use. Several
pages are devoted to each remedy, including meaningful descriptions
of the plants or substances used. For this alone, I consider
the book to have earned its place on anyone's bookshelf.

Impossible Cure
The Promise of Homeopathy
Amy L. Lansky, Ph.D.
Softbound
$18.95
|
 |

|
|
Impossible Cure - The Promise of Homeopathy provides
an in-depth and exciting account of the history, philosophy,
science, and experience of homeopathic medicine. At the core
of Impossible Cure is the amazing story of how the
author's son was cured of autism with homeopathy. It also
includes dozens of other testimonials of homeopathic cure,
for a variety of physical, mental, and emotional conditions. Impossible
Cure is an invaluable guide for anyone interested in
learning more about homeopathy.
The story of Lansky's son's cure offers something more --
a detailed account of an alternative approach to autism that worked!
I think that anyone who is seeking help in working with autism
could only benefit from Lansky's story.

Homeopathic Medicines for Pregnancy
& Childbirth
Richard Moskowitz, MD
Foreword by Judy Norsigian and Jane Pincus, Co-Authors of
The New Our Bodies, Our Selves
Softbound
$16.95
|
 |

|
|
Dr. Moskowitz's work is something that has been needed for
a very long time - a detailed manual on remedies that are
specific to the needs of women during pregnancy and at childbirth,
something that previously had to be discovered piecemeal through
the vast literature of homeopathy. I can't recommend this
book highly enough to anyone seeking a safe and sound journey
through pregnancy - I only wish it had been written in time
for my own childbearing years.
You are holding a classic in your hands. No one before
has written such an accessible guide to homeopathy and child-bearing.
No one could bring more attention to detail and intellectual
precision to the subject than Dick Moskowitz. This book
will revolutionize the health care of women in this country.

Prozac Free
Homeopathic Alternatives to Conventional Drug Therapies
Judyth Reichenberg-Ullman, ND, MSW and Robert Ullman, ND
Softbound
$15.95
|
 |

|
|
In Prozac Free, homeopathic physicians Dr. Judyth Reichenberg-Ullman
and Dr. Robert Ullman offer compelling reasons for considering
the homeopathic approach as an alternative to taking conventinoal
medications such as Prozac, Zoloft, Pxil, and Wellbutrin.
The authors discuss the serious side effects of these drugs
and their failure to treat the underlying causes of depression,
anxiety, and other mental and emotional problems. Using case
histories from their own practice, they demonstrate the long-term
success rate of homeopathic remedies and the advantages of
homeopathic treatment, including:
- Safer, more effective treatment for depression, anxiety,
phobias, grief, mood swings, and other mental and emotional
disorders
- Highly effective and completely natural alternatives to
antidepressants and other psychiatric medications
- A medical appraoch that treats you as an individual rather
than a diagnosis
- Practitioners who are genuinely interested in getting
to the root cause of your problems
- Medications that are free of side effects and specifically
tailored to your needs
- Treatment that eases your state of mind and improves your
physical health and overall well-being

Vitalism
Matthew Wood
$16.95
|
 |
|
|
The story Vitalism tells unfolds like
a Tree of Life, each branch bringing its special gifts fully
connected to the source. For those of you who are not familiar
with Wood's work in this area, let me say that it is perhaps
the most significant document concerning the development of
"alternative" healing modalities to ever appear.
If you have ever been confused about whether to approach an
illness with herbs, homeopathic remedies, flower essences,
or Anthroposophical medicine, please read this book. Wood
clearly traces not just the origins of each approach (excluding
Anthroposophical medicine - keep reading to learn why I mention
it), but their relationships to one another. Wood reveals
how herbalism as a body of knowledge sprang forth as the medieval
mind entered the spiritual/physical contemplations of the
High Rennaissance; how Hahnemann took that viewpoint yet another
step when he developed homeopathic preparations from the then-standard
herbal Materia Medica; how the many different schools of homeopathic
thinking came into existence and gave us tremendous insight
and knowledge; where and how flower essences fit into the
scheme of things; and how an untutored, intuitively brilliant
American farmer set the course for the revival of Western
herbalism. This is what Rudolf Steiner intuitively knew as
he set about reuniting herbalism and homeopathy within Anthroposophic
medicine. Having this knowledge (wonderfully lively reading,
by the way) will inspire and free you - unhesitatingly and
highly recommended!
Note: Vitalism is a reworking of Wood's
The Magical Staff, and contains a substantially rewritten
and expanded chapter on the elusive, yet extremely influential
American herbalist, Samuel Thomson.

Seven Herbs
Plants as Teachers
Matthew Wood
$11.95
|
 |
|
|
Matthew Wood stands as one of the greatest
healers of our time. His understanding of the use of herbs and homeopathy goes light years beyond just understanding
the actions of particular substances. He is someone who knows the spiritual reality that shapes each plant
and can see the way this works with the soul reality of the person seeking healing. In Seven Herbs,
Wood uses seven stories from Genesis to describe successive initiations through illness toward health. In
so doing, he reunites herbalism with homeopathy, religion with science and offers us the seeds of a lifetime's
exploration into the realities of health and illness. Outstanding!

The Book of Herbal Wisdom
Matthew Wood
$20.00
|
 |
|
|
This book is a real find for anyone interested in plants, the nature of healing, homeopathy, or herbal
remedies and applications. You will learn more by reading just one chapter of Herbal Wisdom than
by reading ten other books on herbs and healing. The Book of Herbal Wisdom offers the reader centuries
of indigenous knowledge about healing, integrates these viewpoints both generally and for each
plant, and demonstrates in depth how over 40 specific plants act as healing agents. Wood's depth
of both knowledge and experience is unparalled and his work is among the most important of our
day. Recommended without reservation!

The Alchemy of Healing
Psyche and Soma
Edward C. Whitmont, MD
Softbound
$16.95
|
 |

|
|
This book is a wonderful example of what can happen when a
deep, unified view of the human being is brought to bear on
the basic questions of health and life. Whitmont is both a
Jungian psychiatrist with a deep knowledge of the weavings
of myth in the human psyche and an experienced homeopath with
years of working with disease.
In 1993 he brought all his expertise together in this landmark
work that clearly articulates the esoteric role of the physician
in the dram of life and death. Taking a daring plunge into
the paradoxes of homeopathic medicine, psychoanalytic transference,
quantum physics, and the Gaia Hypothesis, Whitmont deftly
explores 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 submolecular traces of molecules.
Whitmont 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.
Absolutely fascinating and richly rewarding reading!

Psyche and Substance
Essays on Homeopathy in the Light of Jungian Psychology
Edward C. Whitmont, MD
Softbound
$16.95
|
 |

|
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, MD
Written by the former chairman on the N.Y. Jungian Training
Center and a homeopath with over 50 years of clinical practice,
this book sysnthesizes homeopathy, Jungian psychology, alchemy,
and new physics. Dr. Whitmont describes about a dozen key
medicines and their archetypal personalities.
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.

Healthy Medicine
A Guide to the Emergence of Sensible, Comprehensive Care
Robert J Zieve, MD
Softbound
$24.95 |
 |

|
We need changes in our attitudes, our understanding of illness, our acceptance of non-allopathic practitioners, the economics of how we pay for health care, and our entire professional medical-legal system in which medical boards often act within the law to protect and defend the guild of conventional medicine under the guise of ‘scientific proof.’... I present a template that combines economics, psychology, medicine, physiology, and mythology. It can serve as support and guidance for making the changes necessary for a new model of medicine in the twenty-first century.
—Dr. Robert J. Zieve
Dr. Zieve presents a new paradigm for health care that shows us how to go beyond the limitations and severe deficiencies of our current sickness care system. It embraces and synthesizes the emerging models of integrative medicine, energy medicine, and energy psychology into an effective and affordable approach to healing for everyone.
This guide is for both those wish to provide a more complete form of health care for their patients and also for those individuals who are prepared to make the necessary changes in daily life in order to initiate or maintain a movement toward healing. This includes understanding the daily disciplines of a healing process, the deeper psychological processes of illness, and the creative arts in their therapeutic roles. |
