5.0 out of 5 stars Most complete book on the Spanish Flu and the new Bird Flu, December 9, 2005

This review is from: The Homeopathic Treatment of Influenza - Special Bird Flu Edition: Surviving Influenza Epidemics And Pandemics Past, Present, And Future With Homeopathy (Paperback)

This book provides the most detailed information on how Homeopathy helped save lives during the 1918 Spanish Flu and will be invaluable in finding remedies to treat symptoms of the next pandemic. This book is for anyone that is convinced the traditional medical community will not be ready to treat the next outbreak of Influenza that is being predicted. Anyone interested in protecting their families from the high mortality rate of an influenza pandemic should have this book in their home. It is reported that even if a vaccine is found for the ever changing virus, it will be months before it could be produced and distributed. Homeopathy is readily available and since most people of the Spanish Flu era died within 24-48 hours, immediate treatment is essential.

This review is from: The Homeopathic Treatment of Influenza - Special Bird Flu Edition: Surviving Influenza Epidemics And Pandemics Past, Present, And Future With Homeopathy (Paperback)

I am an MIT engineer (BSME MIT, 1978) and Author of When Technology Fails, and I highly recommend this book. Meticulously researched, this book provides the best information that I have found anywhere on the Spanish Flu epidemic of 1918, Bird Flu, and the use of homeopathic medicines for fighting influenza of all kinds. A valuable book to have on hand in any flu season, this book might save your life should the future repeat the past when some new flu virus mutates into a virulent form that spreads across the world in a global pandemic. Highly recommended!

This review is from: The Homeopathic Treatment of Influenza - Special Bird Flu Edition: Surviving Influenza Epidemics And Pandemics Past, Present, And Future With Homeopathy (Paperback)

I read this book with great interest. It offers a great historical background as well as covers the symptoms of influenza very well. Liked how it covered for instance coughs in many different ways - under the sounds, expectoration, etc. for quick reference under the individual headings for those symptoms rather than just naming the individual remedies. Very good reference book which is easy to turn to in case of fevers, coughs, body aches, etc. to differentiate. I would not necessarily recommend this to someone without homeopathic training as they might not know how to properly use the remedies and might be overwhelming, but I would recommend to other practitioners to add to their book shelf. Glad I bought it.
