Please feel free to download the Preface. It will give you an good introduction to the book and the complexities of The Lacs as a Kingdom. The repertory section of the book has been edited and all rubrics are now graded and two new milks, that of the Sri Lankan elephant and that of the sheep, have been added.

A group of 20 of us experienced the power of a group trituration to the C4 of human milk donated by the mother of a 5 month girl conducted over two days in Brisbane in 2005. The diary transcripts of all participants are included in this second edition with editorial comment from me highlighting the themes and rubrics which, over time, have proven to be an integral part of the Materia Medica of Lac Humanum. So now we have a standard Lac Humanum proving (Houghton and Halahan), a seminar proving (Sankaran) and a trituration proving (Hatherly). All show remarkable correspondence and consistency, thereby giving approbation to all three proving methods.

Those of you who prefer software to using books can now find my work in Complete Dynamics; Zeus (Radar); Synergy (MacRep); Miccant and Similia.

recommendations

Perspectives from colleagues and practitioners familiar with Patricia’s work.

I have been looking forward to a book which would cover all the existing info of the Lacs; a most deep acting group of the animal remedies. One of the few people in the world who would have the competence, knowledge and drive to do this is Patricia and she did it - so thank you very much, Patricia.

Kees Dam

In the production of this collection of Lacs, Patricia has gone back to the source material in Animal Mind, Human Voices and other Lac provings and her attention to detail is impressive.

Nancy Herrick

This work is the most comprehensive opus on the Lacs. The book will not only help all those doing research on the Lacs, but will help finding the right remedy for a patient when a Lac is being considered, a much easier task. It is a work which I wholeheartedly recommend.

Roger van Zandvoort

This is a monumental book ... a priceless work ... an indispensable volume.

The Homeopath Spring 2011

Patricia Hatherly's book is an extensive work... a comprehensive documentation ... a colossal contribution to our repertoire of treatment options, bringing, as it does, so many of the milks into one volume.

Lesley Lee

Similia 23(1) 2011

This is a work of artistic analysis with simple but elegant presentation; a rare combination.

The Homoeopathic Heritage October 2011

...an impressive and comprehensive compendium... indispensable to pinpoint the appropriate Lac... text is organised in a visually appealing fashion...easy to read.

Maria Reid

Interhomeopathy 2012 February 2012

The Lacs: A Materia Medica & Repertory is currently the definitive reference for milk remedies; as such it is, in my opinion, a must addition to all practicing homeopaths' libraries.

George Guess

AJHM Summer 2012 Volume 105 Number 2; 93-94

...a beautifully presented book...a wonderful resource... I thoroughly recommend this as a valuable addition to homeopaths' materia medica libraries.

Therese Boyle

Spectrum of Homeopathy 2012-4

Hatherly's book is a doorway into understanding milk energies as expressed through different mammalian experiences in our world, and is the single best resource for understanding these essential remedies. "The Lacs: A Materia Medica and Repertory" is a fun, stimulating and thorough exploration of the milk remedies.
