Homeopathy Books

Get a teacher (AmSAT or STAT certified) and then this book. Read it and study it. Your life will open up.

Although Alexander's writing style is spectacularly convoluted by today's standards, anyone who patiently reads through this book will come to appreciate what a gem it is! With this work, Alexander presented an explicit technology by which you can gain access to your unconscious processes, and program them effectively. In one of the most important works of the twentieth century, Alexander here opens up the whole field of "learning how to learn", in an unprecedented way.

Although he came up with the technique that bears his name, Mr. Alexander was not a gifted writer. There are many other books out there, some with full color pictures. I suggest pretty much any book but this one, especially if you are new to Alexander technique. This book will only leave you scratching your head.

It is important and necessary for an individual to be aware of his/her own body, both physically and mentally. As a musician, I have been even more acute to this phenomenon. I first became aware of the Alexander Technique in 2003 when a friend (a fellow musician) recommended it to me. It is useful both for those with exisiting problems (such as tendonitis) and for those who simply wish to maximize the use of themselves--this inevitably helps music-making. I started taking Alexander Technique lessons and realized the importance of this new way of thinking: new ideas were presented as well as new insights into common occurrences in daily life.

I bought a copy of this book, "The Use of the Self," and would highly recommend it to those familiar with the technique and for those that are simply curious. Though one can always learn more through private lessons, this book is an inexpensive and valuable guide to starting the process of change. I would also recommend Alcantara's book, "Indirect Procedures."

This is a good materia medica to have if you are in clinical practice and even if you are just learning about remedies.
Ms Tyler gives some good references to obscure little symptoms that are often overlooked or confuddled in other materia medicas. She often provides original poisoning information, too. Her work, for the most part, is well referenced.

One to keep and use!

quiciera comentasr su libro pero mi ingles es muy reducido al escribirlo,permitame leerlo.Eso es mas facil para mi de comprender en ingles

I USE THIS BOOK SINCE 1983 TO STUDY MATERIA MEDICA AND I FIND IT MORE IMPORTANT AS YEARS OF PRACTICE ARE PASSING. MAYBE THIS IS ON OF THE 10 TOP BOOKS IN HOMOEOPATHY OF THE 20th CENTURY.EVERY DOCTOR IN MEDICINE THAT GOES INTO HOMEOPATHY MUST READ IT, DR MARGARET TYLER IS A GREAT DOCTOR AND A BETTER HOMOEOPATHIST. NO ONE KNEW AS SHE DID ABOUT DROSSERA, MAYBE NEITHER HAHNNEMANN DID IT SO ABOUT THIS "TUBERCULOSIS CURE DRUG..."

It was full of repeating info but if the info is right then it was worth it. I will start these remedies this month. I bought one book for me and one for my acupuncturist who has been treating me so we can try this together.

Very interesting book. Easy enough for a layperson to understand. I shared this book with my homeopathic practitioner and she was very excited about getting it. Even though there is not tons and tons of information, what is provided is sufficient and looks very promising. There IS a cure for Lyme Disease people, and, you do not have to add more toxins to your body by taking antibiotics. The book has the answers.

This book is not just about lyme disease, but also about biology, bugs and life itself. Peter Alex understands lyme from a biological perspective--as a spirochete not unlike syphilis; from a homeopathic perspective--as a possible new miasm; from a cultural perspective--an epidemic resulting from the way we've upset the ecological balance in our culture--and finally, from a specific perspective, where he suggests one remedy that may be the right treatment for it and explains why. He also offers interesting case histories. I really enjoyed the book and hope as he treats more lyme patients he updates it and adds new case histories.

I actually liked this book a lot. It's full of information and, even if you never visit a homeopath, it contains some real common sense advise. I was particularly intrigued by her explanations of how vaccines work as opposed to homeopathic remedies, the alarming rise of childhood diseases in children who were vaccinated against them and the suggested homeopathic alternatives. The book is extremely well researched and the information on the deforestation of the rain forests and the direct link with diseases like Ebola was fascinating and a lesson for all of us. I was amazed at the many diseases that are treated with rattlesnake poison. An educational and interesting read!

The information contained in this book is extremely valuable. It is well written and researched and contains a well rounded compilation of data which is informative, engaging and relevant on most levels of dis-ease and healing. This book along with my most valuable reference book, "Help and Homeopathy; What to do in an emergency before 911 arrives" also by Eileen Naman, are an unbeatable combination for education, skill enhancement and plain old Preparedness. As the subtitle: 'Homeopathy in Times of Crisis" implies, this book should be read prior to as well as during a medical crisis, epidemic etc. Part Three; Epidemic Materia Medica, is a unique, excellent resource which has been missing from our English publications. This important publication examines acute/chronic physical/psychological distress and methods to get cures and healing outcomes. How much more imperative would such access be in a time of collective crisis such as an epidemic ? I sincerely appreciate this book and recommend it to anyone who is or plans to be in the role of healer or physician.

I'm very ambivalent about this book. The subject is vitally important; the author is qualified; and the information is not compiled elsewhere, to my knowledge.

However, I have zero patience for being patronized. The author fails to include potency advice, insisting repeatedly that one seek the services of a homeopath. In fact, the only advice she repeats as often, if not more, is to seek the services of an ALLOPTH!

Nevermind that in a global or national bio emergency, one might not have the luxury of seeking the services of either, and nevermind that most homeopaths -- lay or professional -- would die in the street before subjecting themselves to the tender mercies of an allopath, and nevermind the fact that I am, and probably everyone who reads this book is, an adult, who is best qualfied to decide when or if it is safe, appropriate, and preferable to seek the services of a professional. Aside from all this, the "promise" of the book is that it will provide the information you need in order to treat yourself and/or others with homeopathy during an epidemic. Without any suggestion of appropriate potency, the book is, to say the least, incomplete. Before you can use it as a reference to prepare for an emergency, you will have to do the research and finish the author's job.

I have another serious problem with this book, which bothers me but may not bother others. This book is written by a person with a doctorate from the most prestigious school of homeopathy in the world. And yet, instead of the scientically authoritative book I expected, I'm holding a book that is half homeopathic science and half new age hocus-pocus nonsense. (If you believe in having a witchdoctor journey to other dimensions to retrieve lost pieces of your soul, I apologize for what will seem an insensitive remark.) Just as disturbing are her oblique (thankfully) references to her "medical astrology."

Homeopathy is a science. It's not a new age religion, and surely the AMA has done enough damage to homeopathy's reputation without doctorates in homeopathy spouting eccentric spirituality in what has been presented as a reference book devoted to a most serious subject.

I recommend the book as a first step in preparedness. In doing so, I am recommending research on the subject; however, I can not recommend the author, who comes off in the end as a well-educated flake.

I wish I could suggest alternatives. This subject is vital and I hope other professionals will pursue it in a more appropriate manner. There is a book on the subject by Dorothy Shepherd, but it is pre-911.

In the beginning of this book "Homeopathy made simple" the Dr. tells you that when his daughter when to college she took a homeopathic kit but kept calling him all of the time for the "what do I take Dad" questions and he decided to write down a series of charts or guides for her to use with her kit. Well I am so glad that he decided too. It is the best book that I have ever purchased or even seen dealing with the practical use of homeopathy. It tells you the remedies that you should have in your kit and then it tells which ones you should take in the event of a health concern. The charts are broken down into different area's of your body and there are approximately 130 pages of symptons and the remedy. I am a layman when it comes to homeopathy, or should I say a mom and I am constantly being called upon for all kinds of boo boo's. I have used this book to help family and friends and quite a few of my friends have purchased this book. I keep it with my homeopathic kit and I use it myself and with wonderful result. If the first remedy doesn't work I go back to the book and re-evaluate my syptoms and this book has never let me down yet. We have warded off some really nasty stuff. If you want a book that gives you a really great in depth look at homeopathy, this book will not give you that, it just wants to get you well, but"The Impossible Cure" by Amy Lansky is amazing. She really deals with the meat of Homeopathy and you come away knowing so much more about homeopathy because of her wonderful writing style and her carring and giving nature.

In this small book the author gives a small repertory for most ailments and problems under the heading '5-minute-prescriber'. He continuous with a very small materia medica and some secrets of the practicing homeopath. In this chapter the author explains some effective remedies that - according to him - always work. He very often refers to his own combination formulas (the contents of which he does not always explain - so this is a minor point!). It's dangerous to make things that are very difficult (and homeopathy is VERY difficult) too simple. Though I like this book I will always consult a good repertory and materia medica as well (e.g. the synoptic materia medica by Frans Vermeulen, Synthesis by Frederik Schroyens etc...)

I have been using Homeopathy for my wellness for quite a few years now. Dr. Papon has written an easy to follow way to better wellness using Homeopathy. There are no side affects, it's natural, less expensive than traditional medicine and it works. If you're looking for a natural way of healing, buy the book and practice what the doc teaches. It's a very practical book!

Very Good book to read about How the Homeopathy works and the view
of Scientific research

This book is written for the layperson and, with the possible exception of the chemistry discussion, should be accessible to any reader. Gray is the first author (that I know of) to present a plausible electrochemical mechanism for homeopathy, based largely on research in quantum electrochemistry in the last three years. But that shouldn't scare off the average reader, as most of the chapters explain research results in terms understandable to non-scientists.

Although Homeopathy has been producing dramatic and positive results for nearly two centuries, and in recent decades has undergone a growing body of double blind placebo tests which have produced positive results, it is a branch of medicine in the midst of controversy about the manner in which the Homeopathic mechanisms affecting a cure operate.

Dr. Bill Gray M.D. has written a book exploring these controversial issues, including easily understood discussions of the "Water Memory" question and of the astonishing research that begins to answer the question of how it might work.

In all discussions, Dr. Gray lists a long and impressive list of peer reviewed journals and the research supporting Homeopathy and/or giving positive results in double blind placebo controlled tests - specifically in the areas of asthma, childbirth, childhood diarrhea, dental neuralgic pain, hay fever and influenza.

The book has much more. Dr. Gray gives overview to the basic ideas of Homeopathy, the Law of Similars, and then mentions specific peer reviewed research that supports it - including detailed discussions of the proving experiments.

Likewise, Dr. Gray shares some of his own remarkable case histories, confessing that if he had not witnessed the results in some of these cases himself, he would have been skeptical.
These remarkable cases include the recovery of a person apparently brain damaged in a drowning accident, and an autistic child.

There have been recent, loud, condescending, even hysterical attacks against Homepathy such as the widely reported Goldacre article
that appeared in the British Guardian newspaper. Almost always, these attacks being with ridicule and high school chemistry arguments (those same arguments would render Einstein's theories to be utter nonsense but it is fruitless to remind them of this), ignore the Homepathic successes and then misrepresent research regarding Homeopathy.

This book lists plenty of research, goes beyond the high school chemistry arguments to outline what qualified modern scientific researchers are discovering and also give a good overview of Homeopathy itself.

The final chapter on Homeopathy is not yet written. The hysterical anti-Homeopathists will continue their irrational and misleading rants, and patients, desperate to try anything after the complete failure of "standard" medicine will continue to see Homeopathists and be cured.

The rational person will stop, read books such as this one by an established Homeopathic practitioner, and decide for themselves.
They will not be influenced by media organized hysteria, some of it issuing from entrenched interests who somehow feel threatened by the mere possibility that such a system of medicine as Homeopathy exists.

This book, then, constitutes and excellent information source and detailed discussion,
providing ammunition for those who will not so easily allow their medical opinions to be swayed, nor their right of choice of treatments to be restricted.

Natural alternatives, which are actually original cures. In the current medical community antibiotics are becoming less and less effective, for a number of reasons, so we need to return to the natural cures and old ways.

The problem with this is- who knows which herbs, how to use them, and what effects they have. This book is a great beginning resource. Written by Dr. John McKenna, he explains various methods for healing or treating.

This book contains case by case studies and results. It is not difficult to believe that nature works better than synthetic, it has always been that way.

I recommend this book, and studying Native American and Asian natural healing methods. Please be responsible when choosing the herbs recommended in this book. If possible, grow your own(organically) and replant. Mother nature supplies the ingredients, but we must replenish so that everyone may enjoy the benefits.

Enjoy the Natural Antibiotics book, pick one up for a friend while your at it!

This book is a great guide and reference for parents who ever had any doubts about the need for antibiotics as prescribed so readily by the family doctor. Explains very clearly when they are necessary and when not.

Way back in the 1940s, the discovery of antibiotics represented a great medical breakthrough that saved many lives in the years since. Unfortunately the over-prescription and unwise use of these medicines have created resistant organisms and in this age of the superbug it is wise to become familiar with the natural alternatives that fight infection and that usually have fewer and less serious side effects.

In this updated and revised of his work, the author considers a variety of strains of infection that have developed resistance since the first edition of this book. The sections on homeopathic, nutritional and herbal remedies and cures for infection have been enlarged and brought up to date.

From this book, it is clear that it is still possible and even preferable to fight infection without the use of antibiotics. At the same time, McKenna acknowledges the value of antibiotics in many instances. This is a valuable guide to alternative ways of staying healthy, and provides a balanced look at health and the antibiotic question.

The book includes a bibliography and thorough index. Another great book that deals with this topic is Leon Chaitow's Antibiotic Crisis, Antibiotic Alternatives.

My family and I were approaching this guide. It explains each one of the bach remedies. Try it

I have really been enjoying reading about how to use Bach Flowers with woman. I have already used and been successful with several of the ideas.

The layout of this small book reminds me of a Dover reprint - lots of white space, old type fonts, and very stiff cheap paper. Nothing is wrong with the information though: it's accurate and easy to understand. However, if you have worked with the essences, it will not offer new insights or information. Good basic reference.

I was very happy with this book. It gave great suggestions on using the flowers with children and the different ways you can apply them in general. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in the Bach Remedies.

This book is a great idea for someone that wants to solve a minor problem he may be having (such as dry hair, sunburn, or sore throat) without having to pay a doctor or look for advice for hours on the internet. This book lists several ailments and annoyances men suffer from, and provides a 2 to 5 page summary of what it is and how to treat it.

The practical and down to earth advice is something that anyone--even men--will find concise, helpful and authoritative.
