Introduction to Homeopathy

Samuel Hahnemann, originator of homeopathy

I grew up midway between Wichita and Dodge City, Kansas on a sheep & crop farm with 500 head of Western range ewes. We kids did the majority of sheep chores during the winter lambing months, before the ewes went out to winter wheat pasture. After 1 long day of tail docking and castrations, the flock was rotated through various summer pastures of alfalfa brome and grasses growing along the Pawnee creek, a tributary of the Arkansas River.

I was active in 4-H, which gave me credentials during the time before Affirmative Action, and I was accepted into Kansas State University veterinary school, graduating as a DVM in 1976. I headed East, to NYC and the Animal Medical Center for their continuing education, and I eventually built a small animal hospital in the East Village of Manhattan.

hahnemann-revisitedDr. Robin Murphy, ND, Homeopathic Medical Repertory  

 Nature’s Materia Medica: 1,400  Homeopathic and Herbal Remedies

(Dr. Murphy published the first American homeopathic Repertory in the 100 years since James Kent, and his 3rd edition is now titled Homeopathic Clinical Repertory: A Modern Alphabetical and Practical Repertory.  It is the most user friendly repertory I have ever used, with a word index not found in any other textbook, and a chapter format geared to the modern age. Same praise for his Materia Medica.) 

 

Dr. Luc De Schepper, MD, PhD, C.Hom, D.I.Hom, Lic.Ac., Hahnemann Revisited: A Textbook of Classical Homeopathy for the Professional

(Dr. Luc has been my most inspiring teacher, and his books match his speaking style and ability to translate complex theories into easily understood concepts. As a practicing clinician, he brings years of practical experience to his readers.)
