Homeopathic Theory and Principles

 

Close, Stuart. The Genius of Homeopathy. Reprint. New Delhi: B. Jam, 1996. Dr Close practiced and taught m the early 1900s. This book is based upon numerous lectures. It has a lot of very insightful information, and it provides a good overview of the homeopathic method.

Hahnemann, Samuel. Organon of the Medical Art Edited by Wendy O'Reilley Translated by Steven Decker. Redmond, Washington: Birdcage Books, 1996. See next entry. Organon of Medicine. Translated by Jost Kunzli, M.D., et al. London: Gollancz,

1989. Hahnemann's Organon is the Bible of homeopathic medicine. The O'Reilley edition is the easiest and clearest one, and although it is more expensive, it is a beautiful book. The Kunzli edition is also very good. There are other editions by Boericke, but these are harder to read because of the translation.

Kent, James, M.D. Lectures cm Homeopathic Philosophy. 1900. Reprint, Berkeley. California: North Atlantic Books, 1979. Wonderful series of essays on the homeopathic healing art.

Roberts, Herbert. The Principles and Art of Cure by Homeopathy. 1942. Reprint, New Delhi, B.Jain, 1990. Very good introduction to homeopathic therapeutics.

Sankaran, Rajan. The Spirit of Homeopathy. Bombay: Homeopathic Medical Publishers. 1992. Sankaran is a modern homeopath from India whose ideas have had a great impact upon the homeopathic world. His work is somewhat controversial (some homeopaths believe he strays from Hahnemann, while others feel he has greatly expanded upon Hahnemann's ideas), but he gives a very good explanation of disease and the homeopathic approach, and the book is very interesting to read – and very thought‑provoking.

Vithoulkas, George. The Science of Homeopathy. New York: Grove Press, 1980. Excellent overview of homeopathic medicine by one of the modern masters.

Whitmont, Edward, M.D. The Alchemy of Healing. Berkeley, California: North Atlantic Books, 1993. Compelling treatise on the fundamental nature of disease and healing. The author was a homeopath as well as a Jungian scholar and psychotherapist. My copy is well worn.

 

History of Homeopathy and Medicine

 

Coulter, Harris, Divided Legacy: A History of the Schism in Medical Thought. (4 volumes). Berkeley, California: North Atlantic Books, 1975,1977,1981,1994. This four volume set covers the history of medicine, emphasizing the divergence into rationalist and empirical pathways. Volume Three covers the conflict between homeopathy and allopathy in the Nineteenth century. Fascinating reading.

Winston, Julian. The Faces of Homoeopathy‑ An illustrated History of the first 200 years. Tawa, New Zealand: Great Auk Publishing, 1999.This new book covers the history of homeopathy in the United States, with many pictures of the great homeopathic masters. It should be very interesting reading, as the author is a leading authority on the subject.

Frazier, Anitra, with Norma Ecroate. The New Natural Cat: A Complete Guide for Finicky

Сhi>ner\° New York: Plume/Penguin Books, 1990. An excellent book on holistic cat care from a woman who really knows cats.

Pitchford, Paul. Healing With Whole Foods. Berkeley, California: North Atlantic Books, 1993. My favorite nutrition book. The author combines Chinese medical and Western approaches to nutrition.

 

Vaccination

 

Coulter, Harris. Vaccination, Social Violence, and Criminality. Berkeley, California: North Atlantic Books, 1990. Dr. Coulter presents a compelling hypothesis linking vaccination‑ induced brain damage to many modern ailments, including attention‑deficit/hyperactiv‑ iry disorder, autism, and violent behavior.

James, Walene. Immunization – The Reality Behind the Myth. Bergin and Garvey, 1995. A very good book that clearly explains the problems with vaccination.
