Monera: Kingdom bacteria and viruses*
"Like a bible" said the volunteer who entered this into the bookshop. This book is THE essential text of learning about homeopathic NOSODES (medicines made from diseases tissue). Over 100 remedies are discussed.
“Monera” carries the Vermeulen signature of enlightenment and ground-breaking enquiry.
Frans Vermeulen’s new book is the first of a series called Spectrum. Over the coming five years, Frans will visit all of the various Kingdoms of remedies, starting with the smallest single-celled organisms, and working up to the more complex organisms of the Animal Kingdom. He will chart a path through the periodic table, the plants, the creatures of earth air and water, the manmade and the imponderable and unclassifiable – something from each of these areas is represented in our material medica.
His aim is to discover and to group into one series of books the most comprehensively useful information possible for homeopaths. The information has been sourced in many ways; through website searches, encyclopaedias; cases from homeopaths all around the world; provings old and new, classical and crazy; old texts, homeopathic gems and masters; lectures; libraries, [selected unpublished articles found in Pierre Schmidt’s library will get their first airing]. Some of the material has never before been available in English. Sources are referenced. Each volume of the series has taken over a year to research and finalize.
You are asked to view the information with an open mind. For instance, a decision was made to include a few meditative provings, (viewed by some as contentious), in order to disseminate the information. Where the information involved in the meditative provings follows the same theme of the classical proving, or sheds light on a remedy, it has been included. However, as all the information is referenced, you are free to make your own choice of reading. The ideas expressed in the material are not necessarily those of the author. What to include and what to exclude is the perennial problem for the material medica synthesizer. So these books contain a vast amount of information, which can only enrich you, and ultimately the lives of your patients.
Inside the front cover is a comprehensive ‘map’ showing the taxonomy of Bacteria. A matching map traces the taxonomy of the Viruses inside the back cover. By this means, and the device of running headings, you can navigate your way around the book and the complex relationships of bacteria and of viruses. The connection between botulism and tetanus becomes obvious, as does the close relationship of Weil’s disease to Borreliosis.
The book contains Classification of all the bacteria and viruses that have made their way into the homeopathic pharmacopoeia. The history of disease, vaccines, medicine and religion is charted here. We see how disease and religion walk hand in glove; how the evolution of man mirrors that of the microbe. We see the myths attendant on disease – and the unbelievable power of the pathogen. Our language is riddled with the language of disease – this is shown in the many anecdotes and myths that lighten and balance the dry and sometimes statistical medical and scientific language.
There is often more than one remedy per bacteria (for example one remedy made from the disease product and another from the vaccine). The history and genealogy of these makes fascinating reading, and Vermeulen has implemented his sleuthing skills to unravel many irregularities.
As in Vermeulen’s previous book, “Prisma,” there is a lot here to read and to ingest. The material answers some questions, but raises many much deeper questions about the roots and philosophy of disease. Controversial matter is made available, and Vermeulen, seldom commenting, offers websites for further searches. Some of the language is impenetrable, old fashioned, and some is new because this book charts the history of the microscopic world of the Monera from four billion years ago to the present – and that needs a new language. The glossary helps out by elucidating obscure language from many “-ologies and -opathies”!
What is subtly distilled is the essence of bacterial and virus ‘sensation’. These groups are coming to light as a difficult and dysfunctional family. There are the glimpses of brilliance and egocentricity that we associate with particular remedies -Tuberculinum and Syphilinum. And we see in a flash familiar fingerprints in the Lyme nosode and Brucella melitensis pictures. We understand that bacterial life exists at the extremes, creating both genius and mind-numbing dullness; euphoria and prostration; dehydration and inundation.
This is a book that will make you question your very DNA. And of course it provides the reference tool you seek if you work in the realm of Miasmatic prescribing, or Family and Sensation. It is an informative tool regardless of which methodology you use to effect your prescription.
