Feature Article: Grand Map of Curative Medicine §1- §6 Joel Shepperd, MD

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.

Summary of Kali muriaticum for the Materia Medica Pura Project Tim Fior, MD, DHt

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.
