Abstract: In Aphorisms one to six of the Organon, Hahnemann describes the framework that enables a doctor to cure the sick: The doctor must act from intelligible principles. He must know what to cure and how to cure with medicinal substances. He must practice preventive medicine. He must know the subjective and objective manifestations of the totality of disease. He must know that the cause of dynamic disease is nonmaterial.
Keywords: cure, intelligible principles, a call to action, obstacles to cure, gestalt, nonmaterial cause.
Abstract: This is an extract of a monograph on Kali muriaticum prepared for the Materia Medica Pura Project (MMPP). This is an abridged version with a description and summary of the remedy and a few cases. The remedy is characterized by whiteness of discharges and eruptions and a concomitant of a white coating on the tongue. It is useful for the second stage of fevers and inflammation when there are white exudates and swelling. It is a slow-acting remedy that is useful for eustachian catarrh and many eye conditions, and the first stages of breast cancer with a soft, doughy lump. It is worse with fat or rich foods. It has been generally under-utilized.

Abstract:Moschus moschiferus was originally proved by Hahnemann and its pathogenesis is explored in reference to original proving sources. Formative substance trials (provings) reveal spasmodic, hysterical , convulsive and ataxic effects with characteristic concomitants and specific organ affinity. A case that was finally cured by this remedy is presented in detail with case analysis and case management discussion. Discussion also includes non-homoeopathic old-school sources which further elucidate the pathogenesis. Hahnemann’s pharmacographies are unmatched in their accuracy of recording and reporting the consistent effects (characteristics) of substances, with remarkable fidelity to the original sources cited.
Keywords: Moschus moschiferus, pharmacogenesis, primary source materia medica, case of tantrums , ammoniacal odour of urine, impotency.

Abstract:
Introduction: The term homoeoprophylaxis (HP) was first coined by Burnett in 1884 to refer to medicines selected according to the Law/Principle of Similars to prevent targeted infectious diseases. HP medicines were first used by Hahnemann in 1798 and have been used since to protect significant numbers of people against a range of infectious diseases in many countries. This paper updates a recent analysis of HP use internationally, and examines a large intervention conducted over 11 years.
Aims: To present a brief snapshot of some major HP interventions in three countries and to illustrate to those who are unfamiliar with HP the extent to which it has been and is being used, often by Government-employed medical officers and scientists, in many countries. To use new data to analyze the value of HP against established diseases.
Methods: Using a previous analysis as a starting point, a literature search for new data concerning

Abstract: An eleven-year-old male presented to the clinic with fever, cough and rash. He was diagnosed with an acute Valley Fever (coccidioidomycosis) infection with erythema multiforme and was successfully treated with a homoeopathic medicine using Boenninghausen’s Therapeutic Pocketbook (1) method. This case illustrates the effectiveness of homoeopathy for these fungal infections as well as the efficiency of utilizing Boenninghausen’s Therapeutic Pocketbook method, using TBR2 (2), the most accurate English translation of the Therapeutisches Taschenbuch [TT].
Abstract: A 70-year-old-male with sudden onset of vitritis, iritis-panuveitis and retinal hemorrhage was successfully treated with the homeopathic medicine Belladonna after treatment failed with corticosteroid drops. The condition responded rapidly and permanently with progressive resolution following administration of a single dose of Belladonna 200c. Homeopathy helps speed resolution of many acute ophthalmic conditions, particularly when prescribed according to the doctrine of similars. (1)
Keywords: vitritis, iritis-panuveitis, retinal hemorrhage, homeopathic treatment of; Belladonna
