Full Description
Taking a critical view, Homeopathy: An Illusion of Effectiveness is a treasure trove of information regarding the homeopathic system of medicine, reasoning through various unanswered questions concerning its principles and the scientific basis of its remedies. This book posits that the principles of homeopathy are inaccurate and homeopathic drugs have no therapeutic utility.
Features:
• Includes studies, observations, analysis, and conclusions of Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, the founder of homeopathy
• Proves that principles of homeopathy are scientifically baseless and homeopathic drugs have no therapeutic effect
• Provides a platform for creative and rational thinking
• Promotes evidence-based medicine
This book is the only one of its kind, explaining how Hahnemann framed the laws of this therapeutic system inaccurately due to lack of knowledge. At present, homeopathy is misleading the public and increasing morbidity and mortality because it is interfering with the application of modern medical science. This book will be useful in the medical community as well as the non-medical community, dispelling several myths associated with homeopathy by developing a rational approach based on scientific facts.
