'''THIS IS A GREAT BOOK and I use it as a Totable Reference all the time. It fits in My Bag and while concise it contains Materia Medica and Repertories for the top 100 remedies.'''

It is designed as a Beginning Self Study Textbook and while good it makes a few preconceptions and thus lacks a few things.

FIRST it presupposes one will only use commercial remedies from Homeopathic Suppliers. These are usually excellent but not always available and some cheaper companies do serial dilutions but do not include succussion between steps for proper potentizing

SECOND no instruction is given for preparation of Homeopathic Remedies from scratch which was the norm up until around 1920. This involves taking original material, whether Animal, Mineral, or Vegetable; Preparing a Mother Tincture; Making Serial Dilutions and Succussing after each step to arrive at a desired Potency; Making Lactose Tablets from that Tincture.

THIRD some modern practices have arisen which do not agree with the methods put forth by Dr, Samuel Hahnemann which need to be addressed. This has given additional fuel against Homeopathy in the West which may result in Homeopathy being outlawed in America altogether

FOURTH a new branch has arisen from New Zealand, which is excellent called Homeobotanical Medicine based on only Plant Sourced materials. I feel this is worth being introduced in this course.

I WILL BE ADDING my own material to cover these four areas to better fill out this Basic Course.  While not making one a Homeopathic Doctor, it will make you the equivalent of a Homeopathic Physician’s Assistant and able to handle many routine cases.

NEXT I will present the REVISED course outline which contains the above contents with my own material inserted throughout and noticeable by a different color.

Daniel
