I've found some of our books in high quality:

The Best Books, Inc.
P.O. Box 893520
Temecula, CA [that means California]
92589-3520 Usa
email: New.Library@verizon.net

Being someone EXTREMELY annoyed with the outrageously shabby publications of our books from B. Jain and other Indian publishers -- e.g., offset printing that's frequently crooked on recycled cardboard stitched with kite string and other shabbiness of shysters doesn't make it, guys -- I've happily found a publisher of high-quality homeopathic books for libraries. They say about their books that they are: "reprint editions, hardbound in black buckrum [a textile made of linen and cotton] with gold stamping on the spine and printed on acid-free paper. Books take 60-90 days to manufacture." These are apparently handmade, special-order publications.

There are almost 100 of our titles in their collection, and some of them are very much worth having, even though they begin at $98. For example, they offer: Hahnemann's MATERIA MEDICA PURA, THE CHRONIC DISEASES, the Conrad Wesselhoeft trans. of the 5th-edition ORGANON (Conrad was such a tremendous disappointment in that very long line of Hahnemannians) as well as Boericke's translation of it. I also see Dunham's LECTURES ON MATERIA MEDICA, Hering's CONDENSED MATERIA MEDICA, Kent's MM, REPERTORY and LECTURES ON HOMEOPATHIC PHILOSOPHY, Bradford's three works on homeopathic history, Clarke's THE PRESCRIBER, Edmund Carleton's HOMEOPATHY IN MEDICINE AND SURGERY and a few others of value to us.

Anybody know of any other such businesses? I figure that there must be at least one in each country, and I desperately want the old Hahnemannian journals that apparently now only exist overseas after evil librarians in Usa burned all of our most important literature.

i cannot reciprocate with info about another such publisher, but if you send me a private message detailing what journals you are interested in finding i could perhaps source them in uk libraries that are able to provide copies.

Talk about books published in India...don't get me started! Yeesh! And when you consider how EXSPENSIVE Sankaran's books are, it's hard to believe he can't get a European publisher!

You're kidding! Not that I know what you're talking about, but, I take it this is a step upwards? By the way Carol, I didn't know you could play the piano! Keep up the good work!

I play the organ--not

I recently bought a jain book and instead of smelling like an old musty basement as they normally do..they smelled like champa incense. Much better.

Personally, I love the Indian books. I love the fact that there are so many booksellers there, so many writers in publication, such a rich resource from that country's unbroken use of homeopathy over the last 200 years.

Sankaran uses Indian publishers in order to keep them in business and to support the economy of that industry in his country. I think that's wise. Why should he find a European publisher? His books would be way more expensive if he did--so it certainly wouldn't be a way to make his work less costly.

There's a universally kindly thought.

Causes me to ponder modifying mine since I failed to say that they nonetheless serve a very useful purpose by making them available hyper-cheap, and I totally failed to mention with that opportunity the Renaissance of Indian homeopathy in that country with ONE BILLION PEOPLE!

I've been thinking a lot lately about how they're mimicking our experience, including our mistakes and production of major homeopaths, only in numbers several times larger than in 19th-century America.

That portends very well for homeopathy.

For example, the first observation I've made of revolutionary information coming out of Indian homeopathy is that they've discovered some our most obscure drugs to have great usefulness in snake bites as actual antitoxin.

So far as I know, that is completely new experience and is certainly totally inexplicable to me since there's no logical way in which I can think of to explain how dynamic drugs could nullify deadly toxic chemicals like cobra venom, and yet that's what at least two case reports have said.

Neither Europe or America has or had the problem of large numbers of venomous snakes in rural areas without doctors, which seems to be what's produced this wonderful discovery.

Haven't noticed it come up here yet, and thoughts about Indian homeopathy reminded me of it.

After about a month on campus in a place that attracts Indian students due to the cheapest cost of living they've apparently found with a major American university, I've been most impressed by the fact that they ALL know about homeopathy and so far ALL have personal experience of its curative ability.

It just goes to demonstrate to me that we Americans apparently live in a pitiful vacuum of total allopathic monopoly that must be on its last legs and forever, because I don't see how this wave of neoRenaissance can stop.

Albert, Boericke mentions some of those snake bite cures in his materia medica.

I loved studying the snakes, personally, when I was in school. I remember reading that Boericke notes a few remedies that antidote snake venom. To me it makes perfect sense this old information is republished now and then. India's the only place I can think of where it hasn't been "lost": plus, lots more snakes in India, too!

Europeans have a great familiarity with homeopathy, too. It's really North America which has been actively shielded from its reach.
