Disappointed,
By
This review is from: Encyclopedia of Homeopathy (Hardcover)
I bought this book with a lot of expectations. I based my decision to buy the book on the basis of excellent reviews of Lockie's other book that is unfortunately out of print. I have been extremely disappointed to find that the book lacks depth and is certainly not an encyclopedia as it is made out to be. It is not even good enough to work as a reference book. In "Select your remedy section", you are hopelessly out of choices as no more than two cases are covered. So for a diaper rash, either I have sulphur or belladona, there is no other choice.
The remedies section lacks depth. Take the case of Carcinosin, you don't get any information as how many types of Carcinosin's are available and what does it do, except that it is a nosode for treating cancer. The list is endless. I am disappointed to buy this book which cost as much as its price in postage. You will not loose anything if you decide not to buy it.

Review,
This review is from: Encyclopedia of Homeopathy (Hardcover)
This wasn't the first book on homeopathy that I got but I wish it was. I had gotten one previous one and then this one for christmas along with another but this is the only one i use. It is very indepth. I gives excellent remedies for sever PMS pains, mood swings etc, that the broader more basic books do not cover. It also goes into remedies for other issues I am using it for but don't want to go into detail. My friend lives on a farm and had a chicken who was stepped on and a week later still couldn't sit up right. I decided to look into my homeopahty for dogs book, not this one, at home to see if there was anything to help. I was thinking it would only help for pain but a day later after giving her 4 different remedies, she was walking, no joke, it was a miracle. My friend also had a goat die of mastitis and even w/ vet help and antibiotics still died, this was before we knew of homeopathy, if only. I was a little bit of a skeptic of homeopathy and herbs but now I'm a fanatic, I just need a bumper sticker to go along w/ my animal rights ones. I am still however looking for a more detailed book that covers most every remedy b/c while this covers an exceptional many, even ones they don't have at the health store and I have to order, I have noticed they don't list all the ones that the homeopathic companies sell, so I'm still browsing for a more thorough book.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Encyclopedia of Homeopathy (Hardcover)
Received it within the period time mentioned but when looking though it, it wasn't what I expected of what I seen on Amazon and didn't have any of the information I needed or looking for so called the company that sent it and I was told to send it back which I did and am waiting for them to return the price of the book which I was told they would do when they received it back.
