5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best books on homeopathy I have read., October 3, 1999

By	Dr. Steve Nenninger (Port Jefferson, NY United States) - See all my reviews

As a licensed naturopathic doctor in New York I know a fair bit about homoepathy. It has been my main method of treatment for at least five years. When I read this book by Dr. Grandgeorge I was awestruck. Here is a doctor that has already been where I am in my understanding of the remedies. Not only has he been where I am, but his experience, compassion and intellligence have obviously taken him far beyond. His insights to the remedies have the clarity that can only be attained by being a master in the field. I have not often been impressed by the skill level of various doctors (natural & conventional) that I have met. I was extreemely impressed by this book. Experienced homeopaths or those new to homeopathy would do well to make this a part of their library. I refer to it often.

5.0 out of 5 stars A book very much worth owning, November 2, 1999

By A Customer

I love this book. I am a student of homeopathic medicine and I think, by reading this book, you get an actual sense of exactly how a homeopathic practices works. You can read it like a short esseys. He gives a 'name' to each remedy. This famed French Dr. works with mainly low potencies and works miracles. I think the main thrill of this book for me is absorbing his capacity for 'listening' to his patiences and 'hearing' what they are saying, in order to use homeopathics with the utmost success. His intuition is what homeopathics are all about. A treasured, oft-refered to book.

5.0 out of 5 stars splendid and extremely useful, May 20, 2000

By	Luc De Jaeger (Belgium) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

With an unbelievable insight in some 300 homeopathic medicines Didier Grandgeorge gives us in a nutshell the essence (the spirit) of these remedies. Till now I've not read any book that gives so accurate and enlightening information about the remedies. The information is kept (very) short and very very to the point so you are not overwhelmed by too much details. This book is a gem and very useful for parents too since the author gives a lot of characteristics of children's behaviour and the suitable remedy. This book lets you find in a minimum of time the right (!) similum.
