Homeopathic Revolution: why famous people and cultural heroes choose homeopathy by Dana Ullman

Dana Ullman presents a strong case for this internationally respected, but often misunderstood, medical practice. What do Mark Twain, David Beckham, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Mother Teresa have in common? All have been enthusiastic fans of homeopathy, the alternative medical tradition that treats “like with like.” Homeopathy has an incredible history of support by many of the most respected people of the past 200 years, and modern science is finally catching up.

In The Homeopathic Revolution, Dana Ullman blends vivid personal stories and quotes from these and other luminaries from a variety of eras and fields with a new definition of homeopathy as “nanopharmacology” - one that will help people, including skeptics, start to understand its value. After explaining why conventional medicine is inadequately scientific, why homeopathy makes sense and works, and why it is so threatening to conventional medicine and drug companies, Ullman lets legends like Coretta Scott King, Cindy Crawford, Bill Clinton, Vincent Van Gogh, and other practitioners weigh in on the subject. By writing about homeopathy’s heroes and telling their stories, Ullman is able to reference and describe important scientific studies in user-friendly language that verifies the value of this widely used but still misunderstood tradition.

Sick and Tired by Dr Nick Read

Dr Nick Read on the many conditions that seem to defy modern medical science.

Dr Read has spent many years working with irritable bowel syndrome patients and although IBS is not the subject of his new book, it is typical of the conditions that he writes about.

Dr Read has long favoured a psychotherapeutic approach to intractable conditions such as IBS, seeing the condition as a sickness of both spirit and body. The more conventional medical approach seeks a purely physical or organ-based cause for the condition - which, in many cases, simply does not exist.

And this is the thesis on which Sick and Tired is based. Although we are living longer and the rates of identifiable disease continue to fall, increasing numbers of us are suffering from debilitating conditions - IBS, ME, post-traumatic stress disorder and many more - which our GPs are unable to cure.

Dr Read calls these ‘functional’ illnesses and sees their causes as rooted in modern lifestyles: our disconnection from our local communities, and often even our native countries, the breakdown of individual family groups and the family support network, the replacement of cultural and spiritual values and aspirations by purely material ones.

This is not in any way to suggest that ‘functional’ illnesses are not real physical illness - but that their cause lies not in some organ failure or acquired virus, but in the disquiet of the minds, souls and spirits of the sufferers. Because mind, body and spirit are inextricably linked, spiritual disquiet causes a physical disquiet which manifests as IBS, allergies, ME or degenerative conditions like arthritis or MS.

Only by recognising this link and tackling the underlying spiritual malaise along with the physical symptoms of illness can this epidemic be stemmed.

Sick and Tired is an inspiring book and will, hopefully, encourage both practitioners and patients to search deeper and more holistically for the cause of their illness.
For practitioners and the medically minded, there are over 60 pages of references and notes.
