- Selected aphorisms of hippocrates with comments by dr von boenninghausen from the homoeopathic recorder, vol. lviii, no, 10, 11, 12. (april, may, june) 1943  Translated by s.w. s.  APHORISMS APHORISM 1: Mania after the age of forty is seldom cured.  COMMENTS: Experience confirms the statement that phrenetic diseases attacking in advanced age are difficult of cure under allopathic treatment. But it is just as true, that when cerebral fevers have been properly, homeopathically treated from the beginning, the desired result was almost always obtained. This is especially true when the condition follows a typhoid attack. Our lists prove that all conditions called typhoid are easily cured by homeopathy. The treatment of such is considerably facilitated by the fact that only a small number of remedies come up for our choice: Arsenicum, Belladonna, Bryonia, Kali carbonicum, Muriatic acid, Opium, Phosphorus, Phosphoric acid, Rhus, Sulphur and Taraxacum. This is also in...

An interview with misha norland

-  An interview with misha norland (J. Hunn)  December 2000 Misha Norland AH: What is your philosophy of education?  MN: Was it Gary Schneider who once said that education should be more about lighting lamps than about filling bottles? The beauty of that analogy is that what you are doing is facilitating other people's lamps to shine. Now that aspect of being a teacher is really the most wonderful. It's the mantle-wearing, standing on the platform, that can become isolating. Very dangerous in respect to ego, because you can easily begin to feel you are bigger than you really are. And then there may be an equal opposite swing which can make you feel very small and insignificant. In the manner of Lycopodium, you can swell out and feel that you are the best (anything not to admit to the possibility of failure), or like Veratrum you can feel that you are divinely connected (anything not to admit to the possibility of being mere shit), or like Platina (anything not t...

-  Dr. a.u.  ramakrishnan and catherine r. coulter Cancer Cell  A Homoeopathic Approach to Cancer not only generates interest from the subject matter alone, but the synergism created by combining the talents of these authors makes this a groundbreaking work. Dr. Ramakrishnan brings to this book the wide experience and large number of cases needed in order to develop a "method" of treatment with which he has encountered increasingly good results. Catherine Coulter adds her organizational, teaching, and writing skills, as well as her knowledge of homoeopathy, to analyze and interpret these cases, creating an unique treatise on this timely subject. The book includes 126 cases, covering twenty-five types of cancer, and is presented in a new and concise format, illustrating every point the authors raise in the treatment of this disease. The careful documentation at every stage of the illness shows how homeopathy can be used successfully, either alone or in conjunction w...
