I would recommend that you take the free course on homeopathy from www.hpathy.com and take the instructor's advice about buying a few good books. Every homeopath has his/her favorite books. I have a big collection and since I like almost all of them and got benefit, I cannot give you specific recommendations.

No, at least not in favor of homeopathic cures. This is part of a research paper I wrote about alternative medicines that explain about homeopathic cures.
Homeopathy was created some 200 years ago by a man named Samuel Honomin. This was back when medicine was less of a science and more of an art. With a good intention Honomin tried to improve the quality of medicine by created the 4 rules of homeopathy:
1. Do a proving.
2. Match symptoms of patient to proving and give matched substance to patient.
3. Do not give patient the substance, give him a highly diluted form of the substance.
4. The more dilute the “medicine” is the stronger it is.
A proving is to take a healthy person and give him a known substance, then record the symptoms. By observing the patient and asking questions find the best match from the proving and give them that substance to reverse the effect. An example is if a person has trouble sleeping, the proving says the caffeine can keep a person from sleeping. The cure is to give the parson who has trouble sleeping caffeine to make them fall asleep. Diluting, This is where homeopathy really falls apart. To dilute the substance it is “susessed” than is to take 1 part to the substance and mix it with 10 parts water by shaking it 10 times up and down, 10 times side to side , and 10 times back and forth. This is a 1X solution, and is considered far to powerful to give to anyone. One part of this new solution is taken and added to 10 parts water for a 2X solution and so on. A 20X solution is considered the maximum potency . This is expressed mathematically by 1 part in 100,000,000,000,000,000,000. At this point the solution is considered attenuated. Most solutions at between 30X and 1500X. This takes us to a point of no return. Avogrado’s Number, this is the point at which a solution has only the chance of 1 molecule present of the original substance. Avogrado’s Number when represented on the same scale as the homeopathy remedies is 23X. At 24X the is only a 1 in 10 chance of 1 molecule present. The 1500X solution is too big to imagine for most of us. The mathematician Martin Gardener was able to express this as a metaphor. It is equivalent to taking 1 grain of rice, crushing it into a fine powder and dissolving it in a sphere of water the size of the solar system out to Pluto.
In short homeopathic cures are nothing more than sugar or starch pills infused with “Magic Water” relying on the “placebo” effect. You can find this out for yourself if you read the specifics on how it is supposed to work rather that taking for granted the recopies given.

Any book by Kevin Trudeau is good. I have his book called "More Natural Cures Revealed". It is like the Bible of Natural Cures. I find this book very helpful and true! You can also check out www.naturalcures.com
