Review

Blows The Lid Off Homoeopathy! Mr. Ransom, in a fairly brief, easy-to-read book, exposes the outrageous history, the absurd theories, and the deceptive and dishonest current practices of homoeopathy. Samuel Hahnemann, for example, had an unsavory reputation even before he discovered homoeopathy, and based his ideas on occult prescientific about health and disease. Even his key discovery that cinchona (quinine), which is effective in treating malaria, causes fever, is false. It doesn't! And the provings of homoeopathic remedies don't bear the vaguest resemblance to testing for a drugs effectiveness and safety. In fact, they consist of normal volunteers ingesting various substances and writing down every stray thought that they had. Ransom draws attention to the fact that homoeopathic remedies consist of all sorts of ridiculous materials, including moonshine! And he also relates his shocking that cinchona (quinine), which is effective in treating malaria, causes fever, is false. It doesn't! And the provings of homoeopathic remedies don't bear the vaguest resemblance to testing for a drugs effectivene ss and safety. In fact, they consist of normal volunteers ingesting various substances and writing down every stray thought that they had. Ransom draws attention to the fact that homoeopathic remedies consist of all sorts of ridiculous materials, including moonshine! And he also relates his shocking experiences in confronting boosters of homoeopathy with the facts. If you\re wondering what homoeopathy really is, you must read this book! -- Tim Gorski MD
