As he focuses our attention on the musculoskeletal keynotes and affinities of the homeopathic materia medica, easy to read illustrations and charts help us reach the homeopathic cure, (or similimum) for many acute and chronic conditions. This book has the potential to relieve much human suffering.

Regardind Science-Ejected Vitalism, 1996: ( daijiyobu )
Vitalism is a profoundly science-ejected concept, though many CAM or 'natural health' cabals falsely claim that vitalism survives scientific scrutiny.
This ND's book is a prime example of naturopathic vitalism [aka "vis medicatrix naturae"].
I quote:
"[chapter] 4 - the life force. [Aka] biological intelligence [...] an inherent, intrinsic biological intelligence [...] coordinates every aspect of our physical life: digestion, breathing, heart pumping, clearing of wastes and toxins from the body, and the healing of tissue [...] respect for life as intelligent, rather than mechanical [...] the concept of 'life force' (prana, chi, dynamis) is the cornerstone of most systems of natural healing [...] aspects of life force: intelligence: the most obvious quality of the life force [...] control [...] energy: life force is part of, and expresses itself through, energy systems. [E.g.,] the chakra system ancient India and meridian system of acupuncture [...per] subtle functions of the life force [p.021...] adaptability [...] response-ability [...] disease and the life force. The life force resides in the deepest core of the individual. In homeopathy, it is considered that all disease starts in the life force, and all disease affects the life force [...] symptoms [...are] an expression of a strong, congruent life force [...] homeopathic remedies require a response from the life force [p.022...] the nature of causes [...] what matters is how deep an impact they have made on our being and how they affect the life force [p.029...] in deformity or contracture of the wrist, the grotesque shape formed by the wrist is a striking image of contracted, suppressed life force [p.104...] in Eastern traditions this is considered the center of physical prowess and of the life force itself [p.106]."

A Wonderful Resource ( bluemoon06 )
Here is a user-friendly guide to treating a wide range of health problems homeopathically. Besides arthritis, it is a book to go to for spine, knee, hip, foot or ankle problems, as well as headaches. Also presents alternatives for conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome. Extremely clear and well-organized, it offers the reader the benefit of a great deal of experience.

an invaluable resource ( shecht@newview.org )
I concur with the previous reviewer. I'm a chiropractor with some formal training in homeopathy and before purchasing this book I was pretty much at a loss as to how to integrate acute homeopathy into my practice. This book changed everything. I now have a pharmacy of over 100 remedies that I use on a regular basis. I now have a foundation onto which I can add knowledge gained from practical experience. But be forwarned: This book will help out a great deal with acute prescribing, but don't think that you will be able to tackle constitutional levels of healing without additional training and practice.
