About Author: Jan Scholten is Well known author of the books 'Homeopathy and Minerals' and 'Homeopathy and the Elements'. Dr. Scholten will brings to our awareness materia medica updates and cured clinical cases of physical pathology, verifying his theoretical models for the periodic table of the elements enunciated in his excellent books. He presents new information about the elements, minerals and plant families.
 

About Book: Scholten describes each mineral family using a process he calls group analysis.

With this book Scholten explores the themes of various remedy groups-the Natrums, the Acids, the Carbonicums, etc., and extracts the symptoms that are common to group members.
Having related some basic ideas to the chemical elements he uses these concepts to choose the remedy and, to some extent, predict the themes of unknown remedies.

After discussing the topic of disease and explaining his 'group analysis' Scholten illustrates the various groups--the cations, single elements, etc. He also describes Argentum metallicum and a search strategy used to understand remedies.

Lesser-known remedies are thoroughly described and illustrated with a case. Differentials are utilized to emphasize the characteristics of similar remedies.
