Anyone who wants to know Hahnemann’s work should have unfettered access to it and guidance in understanding it. I am actively working on uploading many of his works under resources: articles by others, and I write on these different topics as I study them myself. Grab a cup of something warm and cozy and come study with me <3.

Which translation of the Organon should you read?

If you are deciding which version of the Organon to get, then the answer to what is “best” largely depends on your goals, previous experience and personal preferences.

There are three translations of the sixth edition. One by Boericke and Dudgeon, one by Künzli, Naudé, and Pendleton and one by Decker and Brewster O’Reilly.

In most books, there are chapters and sometimes subchapters and the author, before moving on to a new chapter, will often end with a summary of where we have been (at least in a nonfiction book). But here we don’t get that.

Vitamin D toxicity: How much is too much?

You may be nervous about dosing over a few hundred IU of vitamin D. If so, you aren’t alone. Vitamin D toxicity worries many clinicians as people become more and more cavalier about taking it. However! The dose makes the poison, as Paracelsus warned us hundreds of years ago, and as Dr. Vieth (a vitamin D researcher in Toronto) paraphrases “if it has any effect on your body, it can become poisonous”. So the question should not be “is vitamin D toxic” but “at what dose does vitamin D become toxic”.
