The Homeopathic Self-Appraisal Index

London, 1854: "If it should please the Lord to visit me with cholera, I would wish to fall into the hands of a homeopathic physician." So wrote the Government Inspector to Parliament, following a devastating cholera outbreak in which 52% of non-homeopathic patients died, while the mortality rate for homeopathic patients was 16%. After that epidemic, the British Royal family consulted with homeopathic physicians.

By 1900 in the United States, there were 20 homeopathic medical colleges and more than 100 homeopathic hospitals; fully a third of all physicians were homeopathic. The downfall started in 1938, when the herbal, diluted homeopathic remedies were declared "drugs" and came under the heavy arm of the FDA. Colleges were closed and practitioners arrested. No doubt about it, homeopathy was given a bad rap.

Today, no longer categorized as drugs, we can purchase homeopathic remedies from practitioners, stores and the internet. But which remedies? This book details 5 ways to find one: by remedy description (Alchem-184 remedies), by symptom and syndrome, by adding synergists (vitamins, minerals, glandulars), by blood test, or by using the SAF Aware service, completing a questionnaire and accessing the Alchem-184 homeopathic database directly.

History and use, remedy and symptom descriptions, and 26 remedies no medicine cabinet should be without.
