Well, my order is in for the Organon, for Allen's Keynotes and the other Allen's Handbook, and Vermeulen's Concordant MM. They were out of Dhwale.

My next order will include Dhwale and De Schepper. They only listed volume 1 of apparently a 3 volume set (Dhwale); were the other 2 ever completed and out of print, or just never completed?

I will also need a (only one each, I hope) really good 1-volume (I hope) encyclopaedic references for chemistry, anatomy (Gray's?), and genetics, if anyone has suggestions. Who knows when I'll dig into these, but I know I'll get curious, so at least for future reference I appreciate any comments.

Thanks again for all your input.

Chris -

What do you think Sigmund and Carl would say if they knew two of their disciples might end up peacefully co-existing on a homeopathic BB??

I don't know, but I guess Jung is at a distinct advantage having the capacity to reincarnate and have the last word on any long-running issues.
I wouldn't call myself a disciple of Jung's. I feel it is important to go to the source of some terms currently in use in modern homoeopathy, such as 'compensation', 'complexes', 'actualization', 'psychological types' instead of using glib, new-age meanings. Just so we are all talking about the same thing.

As far as I'm aware there is only one volume of the Dhawale book. The first edition was called Volume 1. The second edition added more information and divided the text into part one and part two. Confused? Me too. I've never been able to figure it out.

It's a very warm winter Sunday afternoon here, I have a mandala to finish painting... Enjoy your studies.

Regards,
Chris

Chris -

Thanks for the additional info on Dhawale. I'll keep my eye peeled for Carl, should he decide to come back.

Best,

Bach

THere are 3 volumes of Dhawle's Symposium if that' what you are all talking about.
The firs volume is the most basic and dwells mainly with the Case taking analysis and synthesis and some miasmatic descriptions etc. IF my memory serves me right. It is an indepth study that makes the 2nd and 3rd volumes almost like addendum so that may be the reason why they are not available.
I think they (the 2nd and 3rd) contain cases with remedy applications (especially less prescribed remedies), furthur discussion on the miasms, philosophy, etc.

BUt I've studied all three as they were available to us in college and was an important subject in our curriculum.

I think BAch, you could be quite satisfied with the 1st volume and don't worry about the other 2. The main thing, is to get used to the philosophical language used - it took me a couple of months, I can tell you! Each word is weighed with mmeaning.

Warm regards,

Dear doctorleela -

Thanks for the clarification. It's good for me to have as many options available as possible, because I like to study one thing at a time, even if that means dropping one book in the middle of a chapter and going to another that clarifies a point not answered in the first, and so on. Kind of like "free association," tangential thinking, or sequential prescribing! But it works for me.

I've just started exploring the reference library here at the HHBB, which I discovered thanks to Snoopy's recommendation, and it looks like it will be a great help also. They have the complete remedies from the MM Pura, for example, and lots more - I mention it in part to thank Snoopy for the link, and in case there are others here who don't know this resource is available.

Best wishes,

Bach

I was listening Dr. F.M (Farrukh MASter) audio tape, in which the interviewer asked him to recommend few materia medicas, What I understood from his views on materia medicas books that according to him most of the materia medicas are not authentic or reading them is useless. (correct me if my interpretation is wrong)

There are about one thousand type of materia medicas and each practitioner use them differently but if farrukh is saying most of them are not authentic then we should think over this point that what we are teaching to our students.

He recommends only one or two materia medicas from the huge list of authors.

Chris, but it is an excellent idea: proving remedies on wives!
