Book Reviews of Homeopathy: An A to Z Home Handbook
Book Review: "D" Not for "Doctor," "C" Not for "Caution."
Summary: 3 Stars
A good reference book, chock-full of useful information! However, it is the philosophy of the book that concerns me.
First of all, if a person is seriously ill or needs surgery, for the love of all that is holy, go to a DOCTOR. NO book on homeopathy should advocate using home remedies over true healthcare! It's completely irresponsible! Medicine has come a LONG way, and I'm sick of people touting their "doctors don't know anything" arguments. If doctors didn't know anything, we wouldn't have such a low infant mortality rate, or a high life expectancy in this country.
Secondly, I worry over a book that states that *all* homeopathic remedies are safe. Many homeopathic remedies can be just as dangerous as pharmaceuticals (sometimes moreso). Most of our drugs have been synthesized from plant materials. These plant products contain chemicals, like everything on Earth, and some, regardless of where they've come from (a forest or a science lab), can be harmful to humans and animals. Be discriminating and use caution.
Thirdly, I question the "history" outlined in the Introduction. Medicine made huge strides in the 1800's, but it was far from perfect. It was nothing like what we have today. Of course the mortality rates were higher! They didn't have the technology yet! Pasteur and Bernard didn't prove the germ theory until 1862! I find my trust lacking in a person who refutes the effectiveness of something *before* it was created. Somebody needs a history lesson--badly.
I'm all for inexpensive first-aid and general "wellness" care, but do some research first, and don't let a home remedy stand between you and getting the proper medical care that you or a loved one needs.
