The Family Guide to Homeopathy: Symptoms and Natural Solutions

"I was wary of a US-based book, but do not find this a hindrance. Wonderfully detailed help for just about every ailment imaginable. Recommended for the lay-man."

"A copy of this book was lent to me by a co-worker. Having never tried any type of alternative medicine before, I was very skeptic. However,since this co-worker had already given me such useful information on nutrition and diet; I figured that I would see if this would work as well.

After looking up my various ailments and then going to a homeopathic pharmacy in the suburbs for the remedies prescribed in the book, my cynicism was still not abated. However, when I started to take the remedies, the symptoms that I had experienced for months (ranging from infections to headaches to depression) were alleviated or gone.

This book has been a great help to me, especially since I don't have health insurance (my status at work doesn't entitle me to an employee insurance plan and my physical profile prevents me from getting individual insurance from most insurance companies). This, along with my co-worker's help, lead me to homeopathy. Despite the fact that I have a salary that would have allowed me to pay out-of-pocket for treatment of many of my ailments, most doctors would have refused to treat me. Homeopathy has provided me with an economical and responsible alternative.

This book is an excellent introduction to homeopathy. It allows the reader to be more in charge of their health. It educates the reader on homeopath terms (e.g. constitutional,dosages, and definition and content of the actual remedies themselves). It also provides information on self-help, general health and nutrition, and how to treat acute and chronic ailments. It also advises the reader when to seek the help of a homeopathic practitioner or conventional doctor.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in homeopathy, especially those who are in need of a good introduction. This is such a useful book, I have just ordered my own copy from amazon.com. If I hadn't, I probably would never give my co-worker's copy back."
