This review is from: The Biochemic System Of Medicine: Comprising The Theory, Pathological Action, Therapeutical Application, Materia Medica And Repertory Of Schuessler's Twelve Tissue Remedies (Paperback)
I use this book as a reference for learning about cell salts and for ideas on choosing a remedy for a particular pathology.
I appreciate reading original works of the early biochemists- and this book is full of the flavor of those beginnings. Carey left us with his strong opinions regarding the direction medicine was taking in the early 1900's. In this book and other early biochemic texts I have found the origin of many ideas that seemed to be cutting edge "New Age" ideas that were popularized in the 1990's.
Personally, I feel that these biochemists were ahead of their times. Their ideas about using cell salts are grounded in science. I have appreciated finding ways to ground ideas that seem foreign to western medicine in original texts such as this one.
If you are a student of biochemic tissue/cell salts, I strongly recommend it as a useful reference. If you are looking for an easily accessible general reference, I would not recommend it.
