Homeopathy

Homeopathy is an increasingly popular alternative to traditional medicine, but many people are still unsure whether it really works. In this book, a Stanford-trained physician examines the science that lies behind homeopathy's success. Chapters include: principles, clinical evidence, physics of potentized water, effects on cells and tissues, transmission to living organisms, and remedy archetypes.

Bill Gray, M.D., has a practice and lives in Saratoga, CA with his artist wife Victoria and their shepherd mix, Bapu. He is also the co-founder of the non-profit Homeopathic Education and Research Organization, which may be reached at (800) 640-8702.
