Book Description

December 2004
Homeopathy is an alternative medical practice that treats a health condition by administering minute doses of a remedy that would produce symptoms of that condition in a healthy person. Homeopathy is the full expression of holistic medicine, one that see all people as whole beings in body, mind and spirit, in whom all symptoms must then be both interconnected and interrelated. As a specific form of medical treatment, homeopathy dates back to just over 200 years ago, but the underlying principles of homeopathy go back to the time of Hippocrates.

Those who wish to gain a practical understanding of homeopathy know that study and dedication are required. This book makes the subject of homeopathy as down to earth and as practical as it can be and provides readers with plenty of food for thought. It discusses the most common homeopathic remedies--such as Arnica, Hypericum, Calendula, Aconite, and many others--and how they can be used safely and effectively. "Household Homeopathy" teaches readers how to promote healing in themselves and their loved ones--in their own homes. It covers how to handle remedies, how to select them, and how to use them wisely.

From short-term solutions to long-term fixes, the homeopathic approach to wellness can benefit suffers of virtually every common health condition--from headaches and sore throats to digestive ailments and motion sickness. There will be no need to turn to unnecessary and potentially harmful medications to relieve everyday health complaints. This will also mean fewer trips to the doctor and reduced medical expenses. Armed with the information in this book and the will to fully understand homeopathic treatments, readers will be able to take control of their well-being and that of their loved ones safely and effectively.

More About the Author

Vinton McCabe's career in electronic media was knocked off course first by illness and then by his introduction to the healing modality that cured his illness--homeopathy. He became a student of homeopathic medicine three decades ago and in the years since has authored seven books on the topic, including the now-classic Practical Homeopathy and his personal favorite, The Healing Bouquet: Exploring Bach Flower Remedies. He also is the author of a growing number of publications on subjects related to holistic healing through the "Homeopathy in Thought and Action" series of McBooklets, a Kindle exclusive, which will be published in print form by Basic Health Publications.

McCabe is a past president of the Connecticut Homeopathic Association, a not-for-profit educational organization through which he trained lay persons and medical professionals alike in the philosophy and practice of homeopathic medicine. He has lectured extensively over the years, teaching at New York City's Open Center, the Learning Annex and New York Botanical Garden, in addition to the Omega Institute and Wainwright House, where he was part of the permanent faculty.

He is noted for his humor and for the clarity of his approach to his complex subject matter. About standard Western medicine, or allopathy, McCabe writes, "Western medicine is based upon the use of ever-stronger doses of allopathic drugs. And allopathic treatment with these drugs is the medical equivalent of running with scissors. It may seem like a good idea at the time, but it almost always ends in tears."

About homeopathic medicine, he writes, "So the homeopathic remedy is only a spark. A healing spark. A catalyst that can move the patient--and not just his symptoms--toward healing. Thus homeopathic treatment will leave the patient not just symptom-free (which is what allopathic treatment, at its most successful, has to offer), but actually stronger and healthier than before. It can do this because it works with and treats the whole person and refuses to zero in on a few choice symptoms. It does this because it recognizes first and foremost that those symptoms are there for a reason, and, secondly, that you cannot medically work on one part, on on one set of symptoms, without impacting the whole. But by working with the whole, you can radically change for the better the set of symptoms that is causing the patient's suffering."

In addition to his work with homeopathy, McCabe is an award-winning journalist, poet and playwright. He has produced television shows for PBS and has hosted his own talk radio show. He continues to be sought after as a guest on numerous radio and television shows. He is a published novelist, who, in addition to continuing to write on the subject of holistic healing, is hard at work on a second novel.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great overview, and more, September 10, 2010
This review is from: Household Homeopathy: A Safe and Effective Approach to Wellness for the Whole Family (Paperback)
Household Homeopathy is a great book for getting into the subject of homeopathy, and, with the same book, getting into the most common key remedies and how to use them in your everyday life for treating yourself and your family. A well organized and easy to read manual on a complex subject, made easy to comprehend due to the relaxed writing style that McCabe exhibits in his other books as well. An excellent addition to your library if you are interested in the study and use of homeopathy.
