چکیده
I learned about the power of homeopathy in the most dramatic possible way—my son Max was cured of autism thanks to homeopathic treatment. Soon after he began showing remarkable signs of improvement in 1995, I bought my first homeopathy books and began reading. I was hooked! Less than two years later, Max was testing normally. Soon, I began to study homeopathy formally, disengaged from my work as a computer scientist, and decided to write a book about my family’s experience and about homeopathy in general. I also joined the National Center for Homeopathy. Almost sixteen years later, homeopathy and the NCH have become a large part of my life. This informational newsletter introduces you to homeopathy and answers some basic questions that you might have about it. It will let you know about what homeopathy is and how it differs from conventional medical treatment. You will also learn how homeopathic medicines are manufactured and prescribed, and how scientific evidence shows that they work well. You will read about patients who have experienced success with homeopathic treatment, and about homeopaths and conventional doctors who use homeopathic medicines for their patients. Finally, you will learn about the very important work of the National Center for Homeopathy. The NCH is devoted to promoting and protecting your access to a remarkable system of medicine—homeopathy. It educates the public, produces an amazing quarterly magazine and informative E-newsletters, provides hundreds of articles on its website (NationalCenterForHomeopathy.org), and sponsors the annual national homeopathy conference, which provides education to practitioners and the public alike. Thanks to the ongoing efforts of the NCH staff and its working board of directors, the NCH also makes sure that homeopathy gets a fair and accurate representation in the media. The organization is also working hard to secure homeopathy a place at the national health care table. The more you learn about the NCH, the more you will realize that it is truly the “mother ship” that helps to hold homeopathy together in North America. I hope you will join and lend the National Center for Homeopathy your support! National Center for Homeopathy Welcome to the
