Homeopathy: What to Expect? is an informative and very accessible examination of homeopathy. The author uses his experience of successes and disappointments of veterinary homeopathic prescription to advocate a realistic view on homeopathic medicine which is applicable to all. Much emphasis is placed on what conditions are necessary for the successful use of homeopathic medicines and on their surprising efficacy when used appropriately.
After a short historic overview and a thorough examination of its principles, homeopathy is placed within the context of conventional medicine and alternative techniques, offering some original and unexpected insights. The second part of the book is a collection of 101 veterinary cases by 17 different authors. A variety of species tell the stories of their recoveries. Their authentic stories are entertaining and will sometimes make readers smile but above all represent the reality of daily homeopathic practice. The cases are selected for their educational value both for the curious and the initiated. Even established homeopaths will discover a few real gems.
The book is complementary to the many self-help homeopathy books, some of which may occasionally promise more than they deliver. The purpose is to help health consumers to integrate homeopathy into their health strategy in a sensible manner and to show that more can be achieved in medicine than is generally expected.
