The American Institute of Homeopathy Handbook for ... (ISBN 0787980331)

not much of a self-help book:
I'm glad I got this from the library before buying it. This has very little self-help in it. There are other books with more complete and more easily searched self-help sections. This book might be good if you need to be convinced about the usefulness and benefits of homeopathy for your family, but I'm past that point and got very annoyed at being cautioned on about every other page that I need to work with a trained homeopath and could not possibly do or comprehend more than simple acute care by myself. It was written on behalf of the American Institute of Homeopathy so maybe that explains something. He also cautions ominously against polypharmacy, but never gave any reason or proof why this should be so bad.

The American Institute of Homeopathy Handbook for partents.:
I was looking (still haven't found) a book about homeopathic remedies, strengths and dosages. I didn't find it in this book, most of the book explained how it is better to live healthy than to take medicines.

Alternatives for parents seeking answers:
Dr. Shalts has produced an impressive book, one that could help many families who are seeking alternatives to medication for their child's unique set of issues. This is an enormously helpful, easy to read, engaging book on homeopathy for kids, explaining what homeopathy is and helping parents to find the treatment that is right for their child. I highly recommend this to any parent of a child who is seeking answers for problematic behaviors and physical conditions, and wants to explore homeopathy.

I sell homeopathic products:
I recently opened a 'healing products' store in an Interstate Super Flea Market mall, and retail a branded homeopathic line of remedies. Not being a doctor, but making referrals to homeopathic professionals, this book was exactly what I needed to relate homeopathic remedies to visitors to my new store and provide them with simple comprehensive understandable information useful for adults and children, alike. I believe the book to be a good bridge between patient and professional, alike, to understand specifics and the proper use of these wonderful medications anytime one is visiting or calling a professional practitioner. I highly recomend it to any lay person, like myself, who is interested in learning about homeopathics with or without the help of a homepathics professional. For anyone with serious illiness, especially chronic sufferers of pain and acute disease, I highly recommend that one should always work with a trusted professional, and I strongly recommend browsing this book prior to selecting a homeopathic professional, and keeping it handy throughout any conversations and use of prescribed remedies. After reading the book and answering a few customer questions today, I am so pleased that I am ordering additional copies from Amazon.com to make the book immediately available to my own customers who request it.

EXCELLENT GUIDE:
I have been using homeopathic remedies for some time, but this book opens up my understanding more on why, how much, what, and when. I have had phenomenal success using homeopathic remedies and would advise everyone interested in keeping dangerous drugs out of their bodies or those of their family's should at least read up on the subject, and this is one of the books to start with! I am always surprised when people say to me "that stuff is quackery, or you've been conned", yet they will go to their doctor and get a drug with deadly side-effects and take it! If only they knew that not all the prescriptions doctors give out have been tested - which is why a doctor will say to them "we'll try this one and if it doesn't work, we'll try something else!" And because it is a doctor who says it, people are gullible to believe that drug will not hurt them! Get the book, READ IT, and then ask yourself is it worth a try? You can't hurt yourself with it, and it won't cost a fortune to buy it!
