Homoeopathy in Epidemic Diseases

This book has been known for decades and the esteemed physician, Dr. Dorothy Shepherd, makes explicit claims about the possibility of treating epidemic disease with Homeopathic methodologies and treatments. In addition, Shepherd also outlines the possibility of utilization of Homeopathic remediation as an active agent for prophylaxis for certain epidemic disease. She gives, for example, explicit example of her utilization of various Homeopathic remedies for simple, dramatic, and apparently, effective treatment of cases of whooping cough in children. And she goes on to mention her attempts, apparently successful, to utilize Homeopathic remedies for the prevention of whooping cough.It is long overdue that claims of this kind get the scientific attention and studies that they deserve. The peremptory dismissal of such claims on merely theoretical grounds, subsumes a non-existent level of knowledge and does little more than assuage the ego of the armchair scientist, pseudo sceptic and doctrinaire anti-alternative medicine crusader, eager to write the next "best" seller about how it is all nonsense and that people like Dr. Shepherd were out to "fool" everyone.A more rational approach to these cases is to acknowledge the long experience and dedication of the Doctor, admit that some sort of curative effect is likely operative rather than descend to the easy and non-thinking paternalization of placebo claims, and then begin to organize and call for the proper scientific analysis of what could potentially be a major medical breakthrough. That such a breakthrough might prove anathema to vaccine manufacturers and "guardians" of "conventional" medicine, is of no consequence and no influence on the potential of the preventative and curative medicine which Shepherd proposes.Until that scientific analysis is done, the ideas and practices proposed in the book will remain a tantalizing and intriguing possibility, still utilized by those with the courage to step into the realm of the unknown, and still disparaged by those who lack that courage.

It's a lovely little book, very useful and easy to understand. Dorothy Shepherd is a known name in the world of homeopathy. Her books are great.

This is the best book I've read on epidemic and childhood illnesses. It's a must have.

I enjoy what she has to say. She must have been a wonderful Homeopath.

Phenomenal for the day in which we live.

Book is divided into separate chapters for primary epidemic illnesses. Easy to read. Great information to avoid Big Pharma commercial poisons. Homeopathy works!

This is a book about homeopathic medicines, but it reads so smoothly that you want to keep reading. She shares suggestion for remedies based on her experiences.I love every one of her books I've read so far. I only wish she had written more. I'm so grateful she kept such great case notes so we could follow along with her as she helped people to both heal and also to learn to trust a different method than many other doctors used. She was both medical doctor and homeopathic doctor so she could borrow from both worlds to get the best healing possible.Such an amazing woman to do what she did in a time when women were not readily accepted in the medical field as doctors. Then she went against the tide again as she found a more gentle way of healing and went back to school to learn more. She spent so much time trying to educate others on alternates to surgery or 'poisons' as she called them. She had astounding success.What a woman!

This book has lots of facts and is a must read for those who want to be informed about how powerful Homeopathic treatment is when used wisely and with skill. Recommend it highly for everyone wanting to know the history of epidemic diseases and their personalities!!

Good book！
