Medical Text Books

Anatomy and Physiology, Conventional Medicine, Medical Dictionary, Disease and Pathology, are all included in this section. Some of these books are written from a holistic perspective, and some are general medical text books.

Many of the general medical books here are listed as core text books for the many colleges that offer study courses in homeopathy and other complimentary medicine disciplines.

 

Without a thorough understanding of anatomy and physiology it is unlikely that appropriate homeopathic remedies can be prescribed for the conditions a homeopath can be presented with. For that reason, the medical text books in this category provide students of homeopathy with the basic knowledge required to understand the causes and effects of disease.

Many of these texts are non-homeopathic in their content but are essential references for understanding the anatomy and physiology of the human body. For students in the fields of complementary therapies such as homeopathy, as well as disciplines such as nursing and paramedicine, these texts are ideal for acquiring that broad understanding necessary for successful patient outcomes.

A highly recommended title in this category is "An Introductory Guide to Anatomy and Physiology" by Louise Tucker. This simple to use book is written in a clear and straightforward style that is easy to understand and is illustrated with colour illustrations throughout. It explains complex subjects in an approachable and practical manner.
There are also a number of titles in this section that help to bridge the gap between the medical and the homeopathic. If there was a manual of conventional medicine for alternative practitioners then the text from many of the books in this section would be included. The following titles, in particular, are worthy of consideration:

"The Clinical Medicine Guide - A Holistic Perspective" by Stephen Gascoigne - illustrates through case examples a healthy alternative to conventional treatment when dealing with disease and symptoms.
"Medical Homeopathy" by Steve Smith - clearly places conventional medical terminology, diagnoses, and treatment within the homeopathic context, whilst also collating optimum specific and therapeutic homeopathic remedies within a medical framework.
Diagnosis of a patient's condition is critical to understanding the appropriate treatment, in particular when the patient's life might be at risk. "Warning Signs and Similar Symptoms" by Ernest Roberts and Juliet Williams is a vital book for all complementary medicine practitioners .
It is a clear and easy to use reference to the signs and symptoms of main life threatening diseases and conditions requiring urgent or specialist attention.
