Details

Here are some of the reasons this book is unique:

It covers both common and serious illnesses (from colds and flu to heart attack, heavy metal poisoning and hydrophobia.).
 

It offers more remedies to choose from, so you can individualize the case.
 

Each of the thousands of remedy descriptions are carefully worded so you can easily distinguish among them.

It covers topics not found in any other single work, including:

Homeopathic Immunization — Remedies to help prevent every major epidemic disease.
 

Remedies for Antibiotic Resistant Infections

Honest, ego-free medical guidance. The author has demonstrated an exquisite understanding of the basic philosophy of homeopathy as well as an innate ability to present information simply and usably. His advice is sound. The thoughtful reader would do well to follow it!.
