Book Description

Publication Date: July 16, 2002

Homeopathy is in the cutting edge of medicine.It is as effective as scientific medicine in many diseases and even more so in some. To boot, it has virtually no side effects and no toxicity.Created 200 years ago by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, Homeopathy has been constantly in use all over the world by people of all walks of life, including generations of the British Royal family.The interest for Homeopathy is currently increasing by leaps and bounds.People are very comfortable with the caring and personal doctor-patient relationship characteristic of Homeopathy, so unlike the impersonal and distant relationship between a trained medical mind and a disease often found in scientific medicine. People are also realizing that conventional medicine, useful as it is, is reaching the plateau of its usefulness in part because of its lack of innovative approaches, and also in part because of the increasing costs and limited usefulness of its treatments and their side effects and toxicity.This book will help you understand Homeopathy, its possibilities and its limitations, the logic behind the principle of like cures like, the reasons why Homeopathy is at the same time so useful and so safe, and also how nicely Homeopathy and Scientific Medicine blend together and complement each other.This knowledge, in turn, will allow you to seek the treatment, or combination of treatments, that will proffer you and your family the maximum benefit and the minimum risk when you are ill.

This review is from: Understanding Homeopathy and Integrative Medicine (Paperback)

If you want to understand homeopathy, get a different book and call a homeopath~this book is a no go! He has a very negative voice, adds his own opinions throughout and makes the reading unpleasureable. His book in Spanish might be better as some concepts might have gotten lost in translation. This book is terrible.
