Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

This is the most concise, useful, and practical book on homeopathy this reviewer has come across. Jonas, director of the National Institutes of Health Office of Alternative Medicine, and Jacobs, a prominent researcher in the area, have written a clear, well-balanced description of what this therapy is, explaining why it works for certain diseases, describing its history, and telling how one can use it on one's own for certain conditions. Unlike many other books in this area, this book makes clear that "homeopathy is essentially a method of applying drugs." Case histories include some where homeopathy did not produce useful results. An especially helpful appendix provides a table of clinical research that indicates the percentage of patients who actually improve using homeopathic remedies. Highly recommended for medical, public, and academic libraries.?Natalie Kupferberg, Ferris State Univ., Big Rapids, Mich.

This is a wonderful layman's tool for homeopathy! This makes a perfect go-to guide for the most commom ailments. This is the reference book I go to first, then cross reference if I'm still not sure of a remedy.
I also loved the appendix summary chart of all the different uses for each remedy.
Great Book!!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Staggeringly Silly!, October 4, 2001

This review is from: Healing With Homeopathy: The Complete Guide (Hardcover)

The lengths to which these authors will go to try to make a discredited 19th century belief in vital forces seem reasonable is astoundng. They invent new kinds of photons ("biophotons") for example. And both have been involved, through the Office of Alternative Medicine and the National Center for Complementary and Alternaive Medicine, in pouring millions of taxpayer dollars down a rathole of research to "prove" such baloney! Why? Because it makes any kind of sense at all? No, but because they just *know* it's true! If the rest of govt thought this way they'd just fire all the CIA staff and hire Uri Geller to read minds! Too bad I couldn't rate it ZERO stars!
