From book: Are there medicines that are safe, effective, and low in cost? Are there medicines that stimulate the body's natural defenses rather than inhibit or suppress the body's attempt to become well? Is there a form of treatment that helps to overcome the obvious problem as well as vunerability that allowed the problem to develop in the first place? The answer to all these questions is yes. Homeopathy, a system developed more than two hundred years ago, has such medicines, which stimulate the body's natural defenses and act to restore a state of health, rather than to simply fight disease.
