PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING CORRECTIONS/ADDITIONS/COMMENTS IN THE
PREVIOUS POSTING:

===CORRECTION:===
*4th level of cost: (for serious student/practitioner-this complements Murphy)

--Concordant materia medica, Vermuelen:(about $120) This complements Murphy's breadth by providing
DEPTH as a compliation of virtually all extant sources on the traditional remedies, but does not include
remedies introduced after
1900 +++++(THIS SHOULD READ "does not include remedies introduced after ABOUT 1930".

Note however, that the concordant may not include some remedies from that time that were included
in ANSHUTZ "New Old, and Forgotten Remedies", which was published circa 1920.). This is not a problem,
since the Murphy's Hom. Remedy Guide (which serves as a complement to the Concordant)
contains these, as well as most or all of Julian and Stephenson listed below).
===ADDITION:===
ALSO, A few important materia medicas that were left out (these for the professional, by and large,):

--Anshutz "New Old, and Forgotten Remedies", indian, about $15?

--Julian's New Remedies (about $50?)

--Julians Nosodes (or, Treatise on Dynamized micro-immunotherapy) (about $30?)

--Stephenson's Provings 1929?-1959-A Materia medica and Repertory (about $15?)
===COMMENT:===

--ALSO, some would argue that levels 5 and 6 of "Cost/Involvement in the "Long Form" schema should be
reversed (level 6 books, which are encyclopedia collections, obtained first.) The recommendation here is
to obtain the more synoptic, broad books prior to the in-depth classic books of provings and clinical
indications of TF Allen, Hering, (and the modern Vithoulkas). This is a function of cost and level. The
professional needs them all (Vithoulkas being optional, partly because not yet complete, partly because its cost higher than the other two sets of encyclopedias)

---------------------------------
*5th level of cost (additional mm to provide the "new perspective on materia medica and periodic chart remedies)

--Vermuelen synoptic mm 2: less common and newer remedies ($100 or so)

--Scholten:Homeopathy and Minerals ($40 or so)

--Scholten:Homeopathy and the Elements ($100 or so)

--Vermuelen Prisma ($100 or so)-greatly expanded version of synoptic mm 1 with alchemical and metaphorical

references;
--Vermuelen synoptic mm 3 (cost?) (have not seen, but is expansion of synoptic mm 1 with more traditional format, I

think)
--Sankaran Insights on Plants (2 vols, $104 )-new system -too early to evaluate, but will probably add an ancillary

method to differentiate/identify plant remedies in a case.
---------------------------------

*6th level of cost/involvement-two complementary encyclopedic books of traditional remedies.

--TF allen encyclopedia of pure materia medica-provings prior to 1900, indian edit. (cost?)

--Herings' guiding symptoms-proving sx and clinical sx from herings practice-remedies prior to 1900 i
ndian edit. (cost?)

also consider (modern and expanded view of remedy pictures):
--Vithoulkas Materia Medica Viva-encyclopedic, but still being published volume by volume
(cost? about 40 per volume, maybe between 5 and 10 have been published out of what will be a large set of books)
