From the back cover:
Solanaceae: The Nightmare between Light and Dark explores the parallels and distinguishing features of a group of homeopathic medicines with Belladonna as its archetype. Not constrained by the botanical family, Massimo Mangialavori broadens the scope of this group to other homeopathic medicines such as Lyssinum, Gallicum acidum, and Tanacetum that share fundamental themes with other Solanacea remedies.He examines the well-known toxic Solanaceae such as Belladonna, Stramonium, Hyoscyamus, as well as less represented remedies such as Mandragora, Solanum nigrum, Solanum tuberosum aegrotans. The non-toxic Solanaceae, Capsicum, Dulcamara, Tabacum, Lycopersicum and Solanum tuberosum are also presented and compared with the other Solanaceae.
With a fresh outlook and characteristic precision, Dr Mangialavori refines our understanding of this group of substances from meticulous analysis of his cured cases as well as the classic homeopathic literature. In true Renaissance fashion, this beloved Italian medical doctor weaves his broad knowledge and experience of anthropology, biology, botany, medicine, psychology, history, mythology, and the Classics for a fuller understanding of homeopathic medicines as well as the study of humankind.
The Solanaceae: Nightmare between Light and Dark is prepared from a transcript of a class hosted by the New England Homeopathic Academy.

About the Author:
For many years Massimo has been widely known and revered in his native Italy, and highly respected throughout Europe. Now, in just three years, he has made a phenomenal impact in this country, emerging as one of the finest and most popular homeopaths to teach in the States. Fourteen years ago he left his cardiac surgical training and immersed himself in homeopathy. The path of his search was diverse and rigorous -with South American shamans, with studies of medical anthropology and with his own innate curiosity which led him to enquire ever more deeply into the fundamental nature of homeopathic remedies. Massimo's fascination with all natural phenomena from an anthropological, physical, psychological and esoteric point of view have led to an astoundingly comprehensive and profound understanding of remedies and their families. Whether it is the Strontiums, the Dicotyledons or the Arachnida he leads us into an exciting new world of intimate insight. Not necessarily limiting families to just their botanical or zoological classifications, he observes 'when studied on a deeper level, all the symptomatology of a particular remedy gives us the impression of another remedy-so, for instance, Zincum Phosphoricum may well be seen as belonging to the snake family.'Taking nothing at face value, he studies every aspect of the substance-the chemical and toxic effects, the behavior and habits of a plant, mineral or animal, their symbolism and history-and presents each substance in an entirely new light. We may think we know our polycrests, but.... !
Massimo will show us how to increase our understanding of human beings, the substances we work with, and most importantly, the interaction between the two. His vision and insight have opened a whole new understanding into the process of our remedies and the workings of homeopathy itself.
All of Massimo's cases have at least a two year follow- up, with acute and chronic complaints having been cured by the same remedy. Massimo asks that the residential seminar be for experienced homeopaths only-in this way, we can work together at an optimum level, sharing insights, strategies and experiences to fully understand the cases and nuances of the remedies.

Due to the nature of digital goods, and in line with UK & EU legislation, we do not accept returns for: CDs, DVDs and Data discs. In the case of distance learning courses supplied electronically, you must not download or stream any course material during the 14-day cancellation period, as you will not have the right to change your mind and cancel your enrolment after you have downloaded or streamed the course.
What to do:

STEP 2: Materials need to be returned within 14 days from receiving the Returns Cancellation Form. All returned items must be received by us in perfect condition with the packaging un-opened and the goods unused. This will probably require you to add new/extra packaging and you will need to cover the costs of returning the goods. Please use a recorded delivery service, as we cannot be held responsible for non-delivery of returned items. We will refund the price of the goods once they have been received and checked and the amount relates to the fees applied at the time of purchase.

Within 3 months: partial refund (for home study courses only)
Beyond the 14-day period, if you wish to withdraw from your course for good reason, a partial refund may be granted if you purchased the course with tutor marking, are still inside the three-month period and have not submitted work to your tutor for marking. Please bear in mind that this is not a given statutory right and we offer this possibility in the spirit of good will. In the first instance, we will do all we can to understand your problem and offer help to see if there is a good way forward - we find a lot can be gained through having this conversation. If all the above criteria have been met and we agree that you have good reason to withdraw, then a partial refund for the tutor marking element of the course may be granted. The tutor marking amount equates to 40% of the course fee excluding registration and any digital goods that have been accessed.
What to do:
STEP 1: Start off by sending us an email or letter within 3 months of receiving the course, stating your wish to withdraw from the course and giving your reasons. Please do not send anything back to us, as we cannot accept returned materials after the 14 day cooling-off period.
STEP 2: The Course Manager will then contact you to discuss the issues you have raised and together you will see if you can find a good way forwards. Quite often, a new student will have worries or problems that can be helped with some care and attention and our team are here to do all they can to support and assist in helping you to get settled in and off to a good start.
STEP 3: If both parties agree that there is no resolution to the issues raised, then a partial refund may be granted. The maximum amount that can be refunded is 40% of the course fee excluding registration and any digital goods that have been used and the Course Manager will advise about this.

This commitment applies whether you are paying in full beforehand or by monthly instalments. Fees must be paid up in full before the end of the academic year in order to move into the next year of study. A refund will only be considered in the case of certain unforeseeable circumstances, such as bereavement, pregnancy and moving overseas, and at the discretion of the directors. Anyone who chooses to leave midway through the year will be required to pay the outstanding balance of the annual fee when they leave, and will be required to re-join that year group upon return to the School.
