Getting at the Root: Treating the Deepest Source of Disease [Paperback]

Andrew Lange (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 10, 2002

Based on the author's 20 years of clinical experience, this book contextualizes and critiques homeopathic medicine, a modality that enlists the body's own defenses to fight disease. Drawing on philosophy, history, science, and politics, the book seeks to unite the polarized fields of medicine. It studies the effects of alienation, loneliness, and sexual trauma on chronic illness and presents a theory of cancer and AIDS treatment based on the role of a natural hormone.

Not really a reference book, but it opens your mind and helps clarify your thoughts on the source of illness. It was worth reading, if you like to think. I passed this book on to a friend.

This review is from: Getting at the Root: Treating the Deepest Source of Disease (Paperback)

Homeopathy has to be the most blatant of all pseudosciences. (See info on [...]) Anyone who thinks diluting a substance makes it stronger hasn't bothered to listen in high school chemistry class. Unfortunately, homeopathy can impact negatively the health of the gullible and defenseless children.

The author has a website that states he practices naturopathy in Colorado, as a "naturopathic physician," claiming to "treat" patients. This is a violation of the state's Medical Practice Act, as it constitutes the unlicensed practice of medicine. Don't they teach basic professional ethics at Bastyr?
