You please try to order.
After you received your orders, you may be disappointed with what you received.

Great ideas on books for your libary.

Question is, which ones should you study in-depth?

Which ones do you need to learn how to use as a tool (i.e repertory),

those primarily for reference?

I'd focus intense studying on Sam H. Organon, Chronic Dx, Lesser
Writings, All Dr. Kent, Dr. Luc de Schepper; Synthesis and Kent reps,
MM to include Boericke,Clarke, Phatak, Herings 10, Allens 12,
Vermeleuns Concordant, the Barons Lesser Writings and other writers
variations of his Characterstics/POCKRT BOOK. These books should
form basis of your studies, in my humble opinion. Then move on from
there but always return full circle.

Too many books equals too much too read== OVERWHELMED.

best luck to you

What is most disappointing is that no one talks about THE MOST USEFUL BOOKS IN HOMOEOPATHY which are excellent for day-to-day reference.

REPERTORY by Dr. Calvin B. Knerr

A patient was treated for fracture of tibia. Though the bandage etc. was removed in the fractured place there was ulcer, pain etc. For fracture of tibia Knerr's Repertory gives the remedy Anthracinum and one single dose of l000th potency cured him completely.

For epidemic meningitis he gives ZINCUM MET.

FOR constipation where the bowels would move only with laxative he gives Hydrastis. When even purgatives are not of ANY AVAIL the remedy to be given is PHYTOLACCA. Knerr's Repertory IS MARVELLOUS.

All the three children in the family had itching of skin at night in bed. The father reported that it first started with one child and spread to other children. Knerr's Repertory was consulted. SKIN herpes or some other word, spreads from one child to another , worse at night in bed. The remedy given was Phytolacca. Single dose given to all the children cured them.

For complaints arising directly before, during or after abortion or childbirth THE ACCOUCHEUR'S EMERGENCY MANUAL by Dr. W. A. yINGLING IS MARVELLOUS.

If I am asked to name the author who has done EXHAUSTIVE AND IN-DEPTH work, it is Dr. Samuel Lilienthal. His work HOMEOPATHIC THERAPEUTICS is something superb. )

In Samuel Lilienthal's HOMOEOPATHIC THERAPEUTICS under the chapter PNEUMONIA; Under Merc-sol we find the following words

"epidemic broncho-pneumonia".

On the same page under the remedy ferrum met. also, we find the words "epidemic pneumonia

In big organizations when a person is affected with fever, sore throat and body pain he is advised NOT TO COME TO OFFICE. In other words, the awe-stricken non-affected persons run away from the victims as if they are their enemies, for fear of contracting swine flu.

A lady took his 5-year old son to a doctor. There a patient came to consult the doctor because he was declared positive for swine flu. Immediately on hearing this that lady started running away with her son lest he may be infected.

The otherwise healthy person considers the victims of swine flu as
his enemy. The victims are asked to keep off till cured.
Under the Chapter "MELANCHOLIA" in the reference book HOMOEOPATHIC THERAPEUTICS by Dr. Samuel Lilienthal, (page no.700 under the remedy Merc-sol.) we find the following words:

…anxious restlessness as if some evil impended… constant suspicion, considering everybody his enemy.

What is most disappointing is that no one talks about Lilienthal's work HOMOEOPATHIC THERAPEUTICS, be it in seminar papers, monthly meetings or articles in journals.

Said Charles Gatchell in a review of HOMOEOPATHIC THERAPEUTICS, "… it is an extraordinarily useful book and those who add it to their library will never feel regret…"

In a review, Samuel A. Jones said about Lilienthal's HOMOEOPATHIC THERAPEUTICS as under:

"For the fresh graduate this book will be invaluable… to the older one who says he has no use of this book, we have nothing to say. He is a good one to avoid when well, and to dread when ill."

Imagine Peace

I found this mail appended to the original mail by Dr Krishnamurthy. To the list proposed by H 2002, I would add some more. usually I segregate homeo books into
1. Materia Medica- (or remedies)
2. Methodology or symptamatlogy or analysis or repertorizing
3. Therapeutics

In Materia medica I would suggest
Hahnemann ( CD and MMP), Kent Lectures, Hering, Boger's , Allen's , Lippe's, Phatak's, NM Choudary, Ishwardas Tarkas, Nash, etc

In repertory
Kent, Phatak, Boger, Boenninghaussen, Synthesis, Murphy, General analysis,Knerr's Rep, Logic of repertories, How to find similimum with Boger's rep,

In analysis
Theory of Chronic miasma by Allen, Chronic miasms by Bannergee

In Therepeutics

T S Iyer, Jahr, Nash, Dewey, Ruddock, Lilienthal, Clarke,
Apart from this I have read a MM in Tamil by Captain Raju, which is poetic as well as authoritative. Raju was a disciple of Sri Seshadri of Hyderabad.

Oh Sorry ! I failed to mention it. I am a user of your Rep . Though I should be using it much, I take it only in curious cases.

I think it is the book conditioning that makes us more comfortable with them.

I mention yet again, yours is a fabulous gift.
