From Publishers Weekly
Though the idea behind his guide to homeopathic medical treatment is worthwhile, its execution is lacking. Schmukler, the founder of the Homeopathic Study Group of Metropolitan Philadelphia and a 14-year homeopathic practitioner, begins with a breezy history and thumbnail sketch of how homeopathy works before delving into which cures to use for which ailments. And while the ailments are easy to search through (they're listed alphabetically), Schmukler's remedies read like riddles sent via telegram. (On using Belladonna to treat a cold: "They are worse from light, noise or being jarred. They may be thirsty or not"; on using Pyrogenum to remedy Typhoid fever: "Bed feels too hard. Restless. High pulse with low temperature or the reverse. Foul diarrhea. Better from motion.") Readers well-acquainted with homeopathy may find the book helpful, but the book's intended audience-those unfamiliar with the practice-will likely be lost.

From the Author
I wrote Homeopathy - The Home Handbook for Survival so that people would able to act, even if imperfectly, if professional medical care were either not available or not effective. Such a circumstance could arise due to natural disasters, antibiotic resistant infections, terroristic acts, exotic diseases, genetic engineering etc. I included enough common ailments so this book would be useful under ordinary circumstances as well.

These are uncertain times, and yet this book was written in the spirit of hope and empowerment. I've tried to create a handbook that anyone could use. I did this by avoiding medical terminology, assuming no prior knowledge on the part of the reader and using the clearest language I could muster. This book is unique, both in its scale and the topics covered. It includes:

* Remedies for both common and serious, acute ailments

* Homeopathic Immunization - How to use remedies to prevent epidemic diseases.

* Remedies for Antibiotic Resistant Infections - Bacteria and viruses can never become resistant to homeopathic remedies.

* Homeopathic Immunization - How to use remedies to prevent epidemic diseases.

* How to select remedies when you don't know the name of the ailment. A great advantage to the lay person.

* Remedies for almost every occupation.

* Pregnancy and Birth (Where homeopath is one of the few safe options.

* Finding homeopaths throughout the world -Homeopathic organizations with current addresses and telephone numbers, so the reader can find a homeopath almost anywhere in the world.
