The third editon of the Nature's Materia Medica was designed to be a complete rewrite and major upgrade of the Homeopathic Remedy Guide, second edition. My attempt has always been to create a new and easy-to-use materia medica for homeopaths to use in daily practice, while still remaining accessible for use at home and in the classroom. The changes made in this 3rd edition comprise my attempts to build on that philosophy. Nature's Materia Medica contains hundreds of new remedies and thousands of new updates and additions. The Nature's Materia Medica, third edition was updated to be a more clinical, practical and easy-to-use reference guide to the vast homeopathic materia medica. After editing the second edition, 1 continued to add more modern terminology, cross references and corrected any errors that were found. The final step was to systematically survey the homeopathic and herbal literature for reliable additions and updates.

  • Atopic, Contact, and Stasis Dermatitis
    9/2/2017 Atopic, Contact, and Stasis Dermatitis Atopic, Contact, and Stasis Dermatitis Debra Sibbald, BScPhm, ACPR, MA (Adult Education), PhD (Education) Date of Revision: February 2017 Introduction Dermatitis is a nonspecific term describing both acute and chronic skin reactions with corresponding clinical patterns and history. Although the word eczema (boiling over) has been used synonymously with atopic dermatitis, most dermatologists use the term dermatitis to describe an acute, nonspecific skin reaction that exhibits swelling, erythema, scaling, vesicles and crusts. Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease caused by mucocutaneous barrier dysfunction. Contact dermatitis is an inflammatory skin reaction caused by exposure to allergens or irritants. Stasis dermatitis is inflammation of the skin of the lower legs caused by chronic venous insufficiency. Skin changes in dermatitis reflect the pattern of inflammatory response. The appearance is similar in all forms of dermatitis, regardless of cause. When the reaction is acute, the earliest and mildest changes are erythema (redness) caused by engorgement and dilatation of the small blood vessels and, usually, swelling (edema) resulting from leakage of fluid from blood vessels and accumulation in tissues. If swelling is severe, skin cells form vesicles that fill with edema fluid; this process is called vesiculation or blistering. Breakage of blisters results in oozing or weeping and evaporation of this fluid causes crusting and scaling. Dermatitis may progress to a chronic

  • 'Frozen 2' Gives Homeopathic Quackery a Warm
    Technology & Ideas ‘Frozen 2’ Gives Homeopathic Quackery a Warm Embrace Disney's film appears to support a debunked, but increasingly popular, form of alternative medicine. By Ariel Procaccia December 24, 2019, 5:30 AM EST No memory whatsoever. Photographer: Christof Stache/AFP/Getty Images Like millions of other parents, I dutifully took my kids to see Disney’s “Frozen 2” last month, thinking nothing of it. But a few weeks later, not only am I still humming “Into the Unknown.” I am also pondering whether the company that created Donald Duck has embraced quack medicine. Let me explain. The recurring theme in “Frozen 2” is that water has memory. This idea appears time and again throughout the movie, from the very first song — the haunting lullaby “All Is Found” (“where the Northwind meets the sea, there’s a river full of memory”) — to the predictably sentimental ending. At first glance that doesn’t seem unusual; after all, this is a movie whose main characters are an ice witch, a talking snowman and a guy who can basically read his reindeer’s mind. What I found suspicious, however, is a scene where Olaf (the snowman) entertains his friends with scientific trivia: Water has memory, turtles breathe through their butts, men are six times more likely to be struck by lightning than women, and wombats poop in squares. These claims are reasonably accurate, 1 except for water memory. To make matters worse, Olaf actually insists that “it’s disputed by many, but it’s true.” Olaf’s lecture seems to support homeopathy, a system of alternative medicine that relies on the idea that water “remembers” the effects of substances that were previously dissolved in it.

  • Information-Seeking Behavior in Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM): an Online Survey of Faculty at a Health Sciences Campus*
    Information-seeking behavior in complementary and alternative medicine (CAM): an online survey of faculty at a health sciences campus* By David J. Owen, M.L.S., Ph.D. [email protected] Education Coordinator, Basic Sciences Min-Lin E. Fang, M.L.I.S. [email protected] Information Services Librarian Kalmanovitz Library and Center for Knowledge Management University of California, San Francisco San Francisco, California 94143-0840 Background: The amount of reliable information available for complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is limited, and few authoritative resources are available. Objective: The objective is to investigate the information-seeking behavior of health professionals seeking CAM information. Methods: Data were gathered using a Web-based questionnaire made available to health sciences faculty af®liated with the University of California, San Francisco. Results: The areas of greatest interest were herbal medicine (67%), relaxation exercises (53%), and acupuncture (52%). About half the respondents perceived their CAM searches as being only partially successful. Eighty-two percent rated MEDLINE as a useful resource, 46% personal contacts with colleagues, 46% the Web, 40% journals, and 20% textbooks. Books and databases most frequently cited as useful had information about herbs. The largest group of respondents was in internal medicine (26%), though 15% identi®ed their specialties as psychiatry, psychology, behavioral medicine, or addiction medicine. There was no correlation between specialty and patterns of information- seeking behavior. Sixty-six percent expressed an interest in learning more about CAM resources. Conclusions: Health professionals are frequently unable to locate the CAM information they need, and the majority have little knowledge of existing CAM resources, relying instead on MEDLINE.
