Product Description
Synopsis
The Organon explains why homeopathy is not just an alternative therapy, but a revolutionary system of medicine that approaches the cure of disease in a radical new way. The Organon intersects with a growing public awareness that the current variety of prescription and over-the-counter drugs may temporarily eliminate symptoms but not truly cure disease. Homeopathy goes beneath the surface to treat the whole person, strengthening the natural immune abilities and general health vs. further weakening the immune system through dependence on various medicinal drugs.

Format:Paperback
Hahnemann was notorious for his long-winded explanations, discussions and theories. Although a genius with fascinating insights, his books are difficult to read. This version is wonderful. It breaks up the run-on sentences into digestible paragraphs and makes use of bullet points and sub-headings. A relief to the eye and much more user-friendly. And, a big bonus, a summary line for each paragraph. This is the easiest, friendliest version of The Organon I have seen.

Groundbreaking in conveying the essence of Hahnemann.
14 April 1999
Format:Hardcover
I found this to be one of the most comprehensive treatments of Samuel Hahnemann's groundbreaking work. It makes his masterpiece easily accessible even to a novice like me and offers great insight into the original German text. The glossary and index are indispensible additions. The effort Decker put forth in translating the original demonstrates a level of intellecual integrity and precision that even I can recognize. O'Reilly's editorial and organizational prowess is unmatched. Hahnemann would be greatly pleased by their reverant treatment of his work. I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in homeopathy or alternative medicine.

Required Textbook for students of the Profession
10 April 2005
Format:Paperback
The Organon of the Medical Art, O'Reilly edition has become required reading at all homeopathic colleges around the world. This edition is clear and it resolves many amibiguities and errors that were present in previous editions that were based on faulty translations.
Some parts of previous editions were impossible to comprehend. O'Reilly's edition makes the book much more accessible, and easier to comprehend.
This particular edition is based on a completely new translation by Stephen Decker, a scholar, and expert on Hahnemann and the period in which Hahnemann lived. Dr. O"Reilly is an accomplished scholar, homeopath and homeopathic historian.
Homeopaths cannot learn to practice without reading and studying this essential and brilliant text.
This is a terrific book for those interested in a serious study of Homeopathy and comparative medicine. You won't be disappointed.

The once and future science of Homeopathy
3 Nov 2001
Format:Hardcover
I frequently return from visits to the family physician with the vague feeling that I am dealing with a very peculiar form of healing. There seems to be little sense of "the ankle bone being connected to the knee bone" in modern medicine. Millions of people have registered their opinions in this regard by visiting alternative medical practictioners. But why does alternative medicine work? What are the dynamics of its very real affects? How does the science of Homeopathy work?
Wenda O'Reilly has given us the definitive translation of the homeopathic bible, The Organon of the Medical Art and a handle on the new metaphysics that needs to be engaged for medicine to become the healing art not just of malfunction but of health. All public health officials and anyone interested in medicine should read this book. This is science rendered into beauty by art.
