Melissa Assilem - Matridonal Remedies of the Humanum Family

£17.95
The word 'Matridonal' means given by the mother.

This latest book has been years in its conception, pulling together strands to weave into the story of the Matridonal Remedies, part of the Humanum Family:

Remedies covered are:
Lac Humanum
Folliculinum
Placenta Humana (Welsh)
Vernix Caseosa
Amoniota Humana
Umbilicus Humanus

Melissa says: As I have worked with these important remedies over the years, I have come to believe that the most profound gift we as humans receive is the sense of self. It is first bestowed in its earthly form in the womb. Could it not therefore be true that when this sense of self is lost, it can be retrieved through the very materials that gave it to us in the first place? These substances are made for the creation of our humanness. It is their sole purpose, as they are discarded as soon as we no longer need them.
Farokh Master - Snakes to Similimum , Demystifying Venoms £34.95 (special price)
Snakes to Simillimum is an essential reference for every serious homeopath and student of homeopathy. A comprehensive overview of homeopathic snake remedies, packed with up-to-date details about snake taxonomy, biology, habitat, provings, and clinical & differential materia medica. It thoroughly documents both well-known and newly proven snake remedies, and it will serve well as both a study text and practical prescribing aide.

Includes chapters on snake anatomy, taxonomy, mythology & symbolism, plus 'group' symptoms of the snake remedies. There are individual chapters on each snake remedy, many of which include cases and even complete proving diaries. Clinical prescribing hints and remedy differentials are included throughout the text, bulleted "Bedside Guiding Symptoms" give a quick and relevant reference to the most interesting symptoms for each remedy. The appendix offers an alphabetical quick reference to clinical symptoms with remedy differentials.

Comments on Snakes to Similimum:

In this books, Dr. Master has covered all possible information on snakes. Grounding each member of the snake family with its zoological information he then moves to the provings to distill the best and most relevant information from those early trials. Combining that with the toxicological information, noting both primary and secondary reactions he creates an easily memorable schema of the individual remedies.
When it comes to understanding the qualities of the snake family and the indications of the individual members of this group. The work complements beautifully the work we have from Thompson, Avedissian and others. Rarely has any homoeopath been so voluminous in print with technical books in locating a simillimum. This book on the snake family is a delightful and valuable addition to our knowledge of materia medica.
Alastair Gray, Australia

It is perfect: snake biology, mythology, symbolism, themes and concepts, provings and a lot of other information. The bedside guiding symptoms, the commentary of the dreams, the confirmatory symptoms and the differential diagnosis in the book are very good. I believe that this book will complete our knowledge about snake remedies. I have discussed principles and homeopathy several times with Dr. Farokh Master and realized that his homeopathic knowledge is extensive. Keeping in view his homeopathic approach I advice everybody to use his books.
Roberto Petrucci, Italy

Dr. Farokh Masters must be congratulated on his extensive compilation of snake remedies and the addition of clinical date and provings to our materia medica. There is no doubt that this work will further enrich our knowledge and enhance our clinical results.
Jeremy Sherr, UK

Farokh Master's Snakes to Simillimum will assist all Classical homeopaths to get closer to the essence of these remedies. He has brought together proving information, materia medica and clinical experience that will be of great use to all those who are interested in practicing classical homeopathy successfully.
George Vithoulkas, Greece
Irene Schlingensiepen- Brysch The Source in Homeopathy - Cosmic Diversity and Individual Talent £28.95 Special Price
New German produced hardback. The publisher was selling this a lower price in its first weeks of release and we have held this for the moment. Limited stock at this price.
The knowledge of the most effective remedy is to be found in the subconscious of every human being. The adept homeopath can facilitate the individual's access to this hidden knowledge.
Dr. Schlingensiepen has laid the foundation for this innovative approach through years of carefully documented case-taking and systematic investigation of the follow-ups.
Using 24 remedy pictures of cosmic origin - such as Sol, Helium, Positronium, Meteorite, Brass, Volcano, precious stones, and Geyser - she shows how we can accompany our patients on the journey into their unconscious and help them to name the source of their remedy. This may even be a remedy that is so far unknown to homeopathy, yet which is nevertheless capable of bringing about profound healing, even in serious illness.

"Irene Schlingensiepen-Brysch is a scientist who has managed to retain her scientific approach as a homeopath, in order to search out the unwritten laws of a successful prescription. In Irene the right hemisphere is connected to the left, analysis encounters synthesis, east meets west."
Harry van der Zee

"Irene Schlingensiepen-Brysch carefully, unwaveringly, and persistently follows the stream of words and gestures coming from her patients, upstream to the healing source. The way is radically new ... A source of inspiration and an example of homeopathy practised with integrity and to a high scientific standard."
Uta Santos-König

"I recommend this book to all homeopaths. It can trigger a very deep understanding of the effectiveness of remedies, their essences, and sources."
Jan Scholten

The Society of Homeopaths have their conference in London this year on April 24-25. This will be at the School of Pharmacy, Brunswick Square. It is expected to be particularly well attended this year! http://www.homeopathy-soh.org
Finally, at this time it is an excellent idea to encourage friends, patients and colleagues to contact their MPs regarding the highly organised threat to the future of homeopathy in the N.H.S. A coalition of 'sceptics' and scientists plan to erode the choice of taxpayers to obtain what they want from their own contributions to the public purse. There is a very long waiting list for treatment at the Royal London Homeopathic Hospital. Any threat to the provision of homeopathy in the N.H.S. should surely be unacceptable to anybody with a normal liberal outlook on life. Furthermore, homeopathy is relatively inexpensive and will pay for itself by reducing costs elsewhere.

Please lobby MPs at this important time as they are being currently besieged by a hard core of unrepresentative and quite fanatical sceptics.
