Similia Press Homeopathy: Start Here

I like the first couple of chapters where she offers a very clear explanation of the science behind homeopathy. This is very useful especially for people who are not familiar with this information. A good book to hand to your brother-in-law when he calls homeopathy "voodoo".... However, I have three criticisms of the book: 1) she includes a full chapter on case histories, but neglects to include the information on which remedy helped to cure the person; she says she doesn't want to do this since each case is individual, however, why not tell us which remedy you used and trust that we are intelligent enough to understand that this remedy would not necessarily work in every case? Very frustrating that she withheld this information. 2) No index. Pay the money and get an editor to provide an index for your reader. 3) She mentions in the book that there are some great books for home practitioners and mentions that there are some great books that she relies on to prescribe, but then does not include a bibliography. No recommended reading! No recommended reference books or books for the home practitioner. An unbelievable blunder. In sum, if you want to know how homeopathy works, the first couple of chapters are useful. But if you're looking for a practical book that will point you deeper in the world of finding the right remedies for acute illnesses, this is not the book for you.

I'm a classical homeopath in private practice, and I've spent years explaining to people how homeopathic medicine works. This book is a clear and concise explanation of the basics of homeopathy for people who just want to know what homeopathy is about. I like this little book so much, that when I get a new client who does not know much about homeopathy, I throw a copy of this book in the mail to them. I only wish I'd thought to write it myself.

This is one of the best books for getting a feel for homeopathy and how it works. I order it and pass it out to friends. The author has many years of knowledge and experience.

This book has been very helpful for me in this early stage of learning about all the aspects of Homeopathy. It is both a very easy read as well as comprehensive. Impressive data!
