The Complete Guide to Homeopathy reveals the key principles of homeopathy, including the way we are categorized into "constitutional" types according to our physical and emotional characteristics. Self-assessment Questionnaire: A specially designed questionnaire, based on what a homeopath might ask during a first office visit, provides unique insight into the link between health and temperament and helps determine which constitutional type you most closely match. Index of Remedies: A photographic index of 150 remedies illustrates plant, mineral, and animal sources, ranging from common foods such as honey to toxic substances such as snake venom. A profile of each remedy gives its historical background, medicinal uses, and its corresponding constitutional type. Treating Common Ailments: Easy-to-use ailment charts show which remedies to take for everyday health problems such as insomnia, anxiety, eczema, and toothaches. Additional self-help treatments are recommended, and there is a quick-reference guide to homeopathic first aid.

La naturaleza y origen de los remedios utilizados en homeopatía son muy variados y hacen referencia a los reinos animal, vegetal y mineral y a una serie de productos diversos y muy articulares que convierten la lista de remedios homeopáticos en prácticamente infinita, puesto que toda sustancia, sea cual sea su naturaleza u origen puede resultar un medicamento homeopático si sus indicaciones son conocidas y comprobadas clínica y experimentalmente. Para que esta obra pueda ser una guía práctica, el autor ha limitado deliberadamente el contenido a aquellos remedios más comúnmente utilizados para permitir un fácil y ágil manejo y así encontrar rápidamente la descripción de un determinado remedio o lo que hacer en un determinado caso. El libro, ordenado alfabéticamente, contiene dos partes bien diferenciadas. La primera, la materia médica, trata el estudio simplificado de las principales propiedades terapéuticas de los remedios homeopáticos más empleados. La segunda, léxico terapéutico, presenta dónde podrán encontrarse los diferentes remedios indicados en el tratamiento de cada tipo de dolencia. Al final de la obra hay una serie de consejos razonables y prácticos ofrecidos por dos farmacéuticos homeópatas.

The “Groupe International de Recherche sur l’Infinitésimal” (GIRI) was created in 1986 by Professor Madeleine Bastide and Doctor René Halm. Madeleine Bastide was its President for several years. The group comprises actually more than 100 researchers from different disciplines (physicians, chemists, biologists, pharmacologists, physicists, etc. ) from 22 different countries. The original aim, which, for the most part, has now been achieved, was to create a working group to exchange ideas and results concerning the effects of very low doses and high dilutions. Madeleine Bastide then proposed to publish a collection of the lectures given at their scientific meetings in a bilingual book (French and English) entitled “Signals and Images”. The first volume was published in 1990 by the ATELIERS ALPHA BLEUE. It contains lectures on the new pharmacological approach and related concepts that were presented at the 3rd and 4th Symposiums held in Paris in 1989 and 1990. This volume treats the problem of the effects of very low doses and high dilution in in vitro and in vivo experimental models. It is conceivable that this effect, like that of elect- magnetic fields, is none other than an “ultra molecular” effect as shown in yet p- lished results. The effect could be interpreted as a piece of information, i. e. a signal whose transmission and perception remains to be elucidated. According to Madeleine Bastide “everything depends on the nature and quality of the information, signals and images”.
