What I want to do next is to provide
you with a list of some books on homeopathic
Materia Medica. Some Links to online Materia Medicas follow.
The lists cannot be complete. This is why I want to invite you to
give me a note of any book or link that should be added here. Do
you want to write a book review to be added? You are welcome to
submit it here. Kindly use the link at the end of the article.
In your studies, it would be unavoidable
that some of your questions will remain unanswered. In this case,
besides asking your lecturer, you are invited to pass by at hpathy.com's
Student's Corner at http://www.hpathy.com/homeopathyforums/
. Tell everybody of your important or curious findings, ask questions
that are not being answered in your books. You will learn that studying
within a group is much more fun and will carry you through episodes
when you are at the edge of giving up. I too, am much involved in
this process of learning. And honestly, with every step forward
the paces become larger and faster. But to me, the finish-line still
seems to be as distant as on the first day....
