User Manual for the MMHV for all IAVH members • Edward de Beukelaer, UK
Using his experience and the experience of others, Jacques Millemann (now retired Veterinary Surgeon in France) wrote his own veterinary Materia Medica. This work was published in the form of a book in French and one in German. Jacques kindly offered the author rights to the IAVH, which is the source of a reserve of money we have for promoting the diffusion of veterinary Materia Medica information.
When Peter Gregory suggested that Jacques' work should be translated into English to allow wider diffusion of his work, I accepted his request. Jacques' work is very thorough and complete. Engaging in translating the full contents would take much time. Much of the information on remedies in Jacques’ work can also be found in many well knows homeopathy books, but within there were little phrases or observations and other nuggets pertaining particularly to veterinary practice: information coming from Jacques' and his colleagues' practical experience.
To make sure several remedies per year could be prepared without becoming a monk and work day and night, I decided to extract the essential veterinary, the new and the original, out of Jacques' work in order to make the information that can be found directly useful and interesting for vets. I also decided to add to this the remedy pictures I was taught when I studied in Belgium. These were the remedy pictures that helped me becoming the homeopath that I am and therefore are likely going to be useful to you. These remedy pictures
may initially look a bit difficult to understand but I am sure that as more and more remedies are published and you keep reading these concepts they will start making more sense.
The MMVH should never be the work of one person. It should become the work of all of you. The purpose is to help each other to continue to learn and to create a resource that will help future homeopathic vets to follow in our steps. You should all participate whether you have lots or just a little bit of experience.
finished you will have learned a lot and you will help
others in learning.
3. You can add bits of information to remedies that are
already published. One phrase, a comment, a chapter. Anything is welcome, as long as it is your experience. If it is somebody else's experience, it is still welcome but you have to provide the source (author) of the information.
4. You can translate any of the remedies into any language you like. Hopefully in the long term, the information on the website will be available in a multitude of languages.
There are a number of ways in which you can participate:
1. You can add your comments when I send out a Note:
message about the next remedy I will be preparing. Respond by reporting how you use this remedy or when you find the remedy is effective and in what species. To be involved you have to be part of the IAVH forum. The message about the next remedy that will be prepared will go out on the forum and you can send your observations on the remedy via the IAVH forum.
2. You can prepare a remedy yourself. A few remedies such as lac-delph, Vanadium met, Limenit-bred-cal and Neon were prepared by myself after I had a successful case with each of the remedies. Each of the studies is based on the same template on how you can effectuate a remedy study based on the work of Mark Brunson. I can only recommend you to do this. It takes time, you have to put it to the side and come back to it a few times: it is like a ripening process. But once
• You can send your participation in any language (please let us know in English what it pertains to, so we can file it in the right place on the website)
• All information will be logged under 1) The name of the remedy, then 2) The language, and then 3) The name of the author. This will give the reader the choice on how to evaluate any information found in the MMHV.
• We would like to see the holders of a cert IAVH to participate regularly in the work on the MMHV. This will show that they not only have achieved the homeopathic knowledge to pass the exam but also that they continue to use homeopathy and that they actively try to improve beyond the study of the basis of homeopathy.
Any little bit of information is helpful!
