Product Description
Review
A new translation of the Organon has been released. This book contains not only a new translation, but also a new format, complete with table of contents, index, and glossary, making the Organon easier to use and understand than ever before.
O'Reilly's adaptation of the Organon brings much more meaning to light. One problem with previous translations is that the reader could never be sure how accurately key words were translated and what exactly Hahnemann meant by them. To address this problem, O'Reilly provides a glossary of terms in which the German word is given along with the definition that applies to Hahnemann's usage.
Even before its publication, it has begun to garner rave reviews. George Vithoulkas, director or the International Academy of Classical Homeopathy, has described it as the best translation yet, and the most comprehensive and organized information about the Organon. -- Resonance Magazine, September, 1996
Magnificent. . .a truly impressive piece of scholarship. -- Catherine R. Coulter, Author of Portraits of Homeopathic Medicines
The Organon of the Medical Art is the cornerstone of homeopathy. In it, Samuel Hahnemann takes us on a philosophical journey through the age-old questions of health, disease, and healing, speculates on the ideal system to achieve these ends, and describes the system he found which meets these criteria. Along the way he answers most questions any homeopath could have.
If one were stranded on a desert island with this book, one could develop the unique materia medica that wouold be found on the island, and learn how to apply these substances as healing agents.
This is the translation we have all been waiting for. It was worth the wait and certainly worth the price. Steven Decker and Wenda Brewster O'Reilly have done a great service for the English speakers of homeopathy. A new standard has been set. -- Homeopathy Today, December, 1996
Book Description
Based on treating the whole patient rather than isolated symptoms, homeopathy uses minute doses of naturally derived medicine to stimulate the patient’s own life force. Physician Samuel Hahnemann’s pioneering text Organon of the Medical Art, first published in 1810, remains the foundation for all study in this field. Wenda O’Reilly worked with translator Stephen Decker to produce a version of the book that would preserve Hahnemann’s insights while adapting it to the needs of the modern general reader. The book is restructured as a series of chapters and sections, and newly added side notes and footnotes, a contextual glossary, and an index vastly increase the book’s usefulness.

A Book that Will Change Your Life,
By A Customer
This review is from: Organon Of The Medical Art (Paperback)
I did not truly understand homeopathy until I read this new translation, this beautifully and wisely edited edition. The insights I gained reading it I can only liken to religious revelations. I now have an understanding of healing and cure that will guide me for the rest of my life. O'Reilly and Decker have taken a dense work of absolute genius and made it accessible to anyone who wants to understand the meaning of health and the gift of life.

Steven Decker is a genius,
By A Customer
This review is from: Organon Of The Medical Art (Paperback)
and his translation of the Organon has taken homeopathy and homeopathic prescribing light-years ahead in this work of art, edited by O'Reilly.After a century or two of misunderstandings of Hahnemann's writings, at last there is a glimpse of Hahnemann's genial gift to mankind. I await further illumination of this medical system from Mr. Decker!

The once and future science of Homeopathy,
By A Customer
This review is from: Organon of the Medical Art (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.
