Top Homeopath, Excellent Author
Dr. Muhammed Rafeeque's 'Be a Master of Materia Medica', a superb collection of symptoms & rubrics of an individual medicine, weaves these insights, among many others, into the fabric of what homeopathy is, how it works and what it means to be a homoeopath. In this book, well-proved drugs are selected and the symptoms are arranged in a systematic order - from generals to particulars. Under each symptom, the rubrical representation of the same symptom is given. Here the most suitable rubric is selected from a repertory in which the symptom is well represented. The remedies with gradings as given in the repertory follow the rubrics. This book makes the study of Materia Medica, comparative Materia Medica and Repertory easy and systematic. The readers will also get a chance to read the other indicated drugs for the same symptom. Since the grading is given, the intensity of each symptom in different drugs can be compared. The rubrics are selected from well-known repertories published by stalwarts like Kent, Knerr, Clark, Gentry, Boericke, Robert, Phatak and also from the latest repertories published by F. Schroyens and R. Murphy. In this book, the author has covered 86 well-proved drugs. On an average, the majority of the drugs carry 50 to 60 symptoms along with rubrics and remedies. Apart from improving the Materia medica knowledge, the routine use of this book can help the readers to get rid of “prejudiced materia medica,” which is the main reason for our failure in remedial diagnosis. Truly speaking, our mind is intruded with some specific drugs for each favorite “indication” we are habituated with. Here are some examples: · Most of us think about Lycopodium when the patient says that his complaint goes from right side to left! But, for the same indication, there are other drugs given in the repertories.
Simple, clear, objective materia medica. the rubrics which is very important for the prescriber. I wish there is a soft version of this book so I can navigate easily and do quick searches.
