Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a critique of the homoeopathic method, starting from its origins in Hahnemann's ideas. The author explores the principles of homoeopathy and the use of potentised substances, as well as the fundamental laws that govern their employment in curing illness by finding similarities between the effects of a drug and the symptoms of a disease. The author also examines the possibility of a scientific classification of drugs based on their therapeutic effects. These ideas are contextualised within the history of medicine and the author prompts the reader to consider the distinction between the literal and liberal application of Hahnemann's ideas within homoeopathy. The author asserts that a medicine's value is not determined by its dose, and that prescribed drugs which act as palliatives can produce positive results. Through presenting both sides of the debate about homoeopathy, this book offers an incisive analysis of a medical practice which has sparked heated debate since its inception.
