Richard Pitt's Comparative Materia Medica
527 pages that integrate new and old remedies: each major polychrest is set beside the newer remedies from every kingdom that resemble it.
36 Polychrest Chapters
Each chapter takes a major polychrest and compares it with the newer and less-understood remedies that most resemble it, from insects and birds to metals, fungi and nosodes.
Intrinsic / Compensated / Decompensated Framework
Every chapter follows Pitt's three-stage model, mapped to Psora, Sycosis and Syphilis, so unfamiliar remedies read against the same axis as the polychrest.
Remedies From Every Kingdom
Animal, mineral, metal, plant, fungal, bacterial, viral, nosode and imponderabilia remedies are grouped with the polychrest they most resemble.
