The philosophy of classical homeopathy.

It has been well said that to learn things right you must study from the Masters. This book is written on the philosophy and orthodox practice of homeopathy (h/p) by the living master of classical h/p, George Vithoulkas.It is a complete book that puts homeopathy in the right context from the beginning. It teaches the virtue of finding the correct remedy and practicing patience and restrain rather than the "fast food" approach to h/p common today.While it is targeted to the prescriber (or student of h/p) it is highly recommended for the educated 'patient' who wants a rounded understanding on the subject. Furthermore, Appendix B is worth the whole price of the book. This is a book of substance. You may read it overnight like many books but what is important, this is a book to read three times and still come back to it.

The BEST overview of Homeopathy available to date!

Published in 1980, this book remains the best comprehensive overview of Homeopathy available to date. I am a faculty member of the Center for Health and Healing in New York City. I practice and teach homeopathy there. Our fellows are required to read this book prior to the beginning of the homeopathic curriculum.I highly reccomend this book for any serious student of homeopathy.

A Vital Force in the healthcare of a new millenium

If you are not familiar with how homeopathy works exactly, George Vitoulkas outlines the theory and practice of this energy medicine and how it works to strenghen the immunity system and stimulate our 'vital force'. The Science of Homeopathy is a classic text which will significantly impact the way you view health and illness. I highly recommend this book for any academic scholar who is dissatisfied with our current and ailing system of allopathic medicine or who is interested in simply knowing more than what homeopathy is. It is only for the seriously interested layperson however, as it is may be considered a 'technical and highly challenging read.The Science of Homeopathy has profound implications for the future of health care AND for the evolution of the human organism.
