Homeopathy "Impossible Cure" the Promise

Homeopathy "Impossible Cure" the Promise of Homeopathy Book report on "Impossible Cure" the Promise of Homeopathy by Amy L. Lansky. One of the most important aspects of this book is the fact that it provides an overview of homeopathy that is based on actual human experience. The Impossible Cure: The Promise of Homeopathy by Amy L. Lansky (2003) is in the first instance a truly inspirational account of the homeopathy. This work includes a discussion of the history, philosophy as well as the science that underlies this medical discipline.

This is embroidered on by verified experience of the healing potential of homeopathy. Central to the book is that it was motivated by the author's personal experience of her son's recovery from autism through homeopathic medicine and practice. This adds a further dimension to the scientific and historical aspects of the work. The author, Amy Lansky, received her doctorate in computer science from Stanford University in 1983. After working at various research institutions for a number of years she began to write and promote homeopathic medicine.

This career change was as a result of her son's seemingly miraculous cure from autism by homeopathic medicine. Lansky states that, "It did not take long for me to realize that my son's miraculous cure from autism was far more revolutionary than any computer program or technological gadgetry" ( Review of Impossible Cure: The Promise of Homeopathy). She also soon decided that she had to write a book to let others know about homeopathy.

This event changed the direction of her life and she began not only to promote and write on the advantages of homeopathy and was eventuality to become a practitioner of homeopathic medicine. The book is not only a statement of faith in homeopathy but is also a useful guide to the disciple and practice of homeopathy. In this sense it provides a step-by-step guide for those interested in the advantages of homeopathy.

In this regard the chapter on the science of homeopathy is intended to dispel much of the criticism and skepticism directed at this discipline. The author points out that while mainstream medicine still tends to view homeopaths with a skeptical eyes, her personal experience is that the science that lies behind this medical discipline proves that homeopathy is capable of seemingly "impossible" healing achievements.

The impact that this book had had on the perception of homeopathy can be discerned for the following brief review by Michael Castleman: Amy Lansky watched in disbelief as homeopathy did the impossible -- cured her son of autism. She delved into the controversial therapy and has become an articulate, passionate advocate… The result is one of the best introductions to homeopathy I've seen. (Book review: Impossible Cure: The Promise of Homeopathy) The book itself is also the result of her direct involvement in homeopathy.

She became a student of the School of Homoeopathy in Devon, England in 1996 and graduated in 1998 (Amy L. Lansky, PhD). Furthermore, she has studied with a number of prominent homeopaths -- including clinical studies with Louis Klein, Sadhna Thakkarand Simon Taffler. (Amy L. Lansky, PhD ). She began her own homeopathic practice in 2004.

Her involvement in homeopathy is also evidenced by the fact that she served as co-editor of The American Homeopath, the journal of the North American Society of Homeopaths (NASH) until 2000 and became an executive board member of the California Health Freedom Coalition. She was also elected to the board of the National Center for Homeopathy in Alexandria, Virginia. (Amy L. Lansky, PhD) The book also explores the positive effects of homeopathy as a treatment for many other ailments and diseases.

For example, a chapter with anecdotal stories is devoted to homeopathic remedies and cures for serious diseases such as Alzheimer's, as well as for other ailments and conditions such as to bladder infections and emotional and behavioral problems. The book is extremely useful as a resource and provides information on the entire field of homeopathy.

It also deals with important foundational questions which can be difficult for the uninitiated, such as "What is Disease?" And " What is Cure?." The author provides well-written and easily digested insight into the way that homeopathy functions and how it works in terms of the healing process. This is supported by a clear and concise overview of the historical development of homeopathy and the way various homeopathic medical strategies for combating disease and illness were developed.
