David S. Riley's fascination with the research and subsequent exploration of homeopathic drug provings stemmed from his medical school training in 1979 and a residency in Internal Medicine. In 1988, he encountered homeopathy, which led to his enrollment at the Hahnemann College of Homeopathy in Albany, California. His research aimed to investigate the interplay between contemporary research methodologies and those associated with homeopathic drug provings. Dr. Riley's dedication resulted in the development of robust research tools, including data collection instruments, symptom selection criteria, and blinding protocols, primarily aimed at mitigating bias risks.

The homeopathic drug provings presented herein are the culmination of his tireless efforts. For the third edition, a remarkable twelve homeopathic drug provings have been included, conducted by a diverse group of internationally renowned proving directors. These provings adhere to rigorous clinical practice (GCP) research guidelines and incorporate the principles suggested by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann more than two centuries ago.

Dr. Riley's commitment to advancing the field of homeopathy has been unwavering, and his contributions have significantly enriched our understanding of these ancient healing modalities. His dedication to scientific rigor and his commitment to the principles of homeopathy make him a true pioneer in the field.
