PRAISE FOR Impossible Cure: The Promise of Homeopathy Many of the greatest advances in science and medicine begin as observations that don't fit in. Homeopathy – the ‘impossible cure' – is just that sort of challenge. Amy Lansky is a skilled guide to the world of homeopathy, and she dispels much of the mystery surrounding this form of therapy. Impossible Cure is a valuable insight for anyone wishing to know more about homeopathy and how it may fit into their search for health. - Larry Dossey, MD Executive Editor, Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine Author: Healing Beyond the Body, Reinventing Medicine, and Healing Words Amy Lansky watched in disbelief as homeopathy did the impossible - cured her son, Max, of autism. She delved into the controversial therapy and has become an articulate, passionate advocate for the healing art most physicians continue to dismiss as 'impossible.' Her book is filled with a mother's love and a scientist's skepticism. The result is one of the best introductions to homeopathy Iíve seen. Two thumbs up for Impossible Cure: The Promise of Homeopathy. - Michael Castleman Author: The Healing Herbs, The New Healing Herbs, Nature's Cures, Blended Medicine, and other consumer health books Homeopathy is the emerging therapy that offers hope for truly curing chronic disease in a profound way. This book is a comprehensive introduction to the full extent of what homeopathy can do for you. By providing case histories, deep yet understandable explanations of homeopathy (including its relationship to modern medicine), and clear information on what it means to be a homeopathic patient, Impossible Cure is an invaluable resource. A perfect book for patients and first-year students of homeopathy. - Louis Klein, RSHom President, Luminos Homeopathic Courses Ltd., Luminos Schools, and Homeopathic Master Clinicians Course (www.homeopathycourses.com) Author: Clinical Focus Guide to Homeopathic Remedies and Luminos Homeopathic Provings -Amy Lansky has laid out one of the most complete pictures of homeopathy ever written. The book is extremely well researched, and Lansky has managed to make it accessible to an average reader in a way that will open people's minds about homeopathy. It will also help others already in the health-care field to learn about the potential of homeopathic treatment and to recognize that, in homeopathy, we have one of the most unique and complete systems of medicine available It is a superb document, and for those of us who practice and teach homeopathy, it is an exciting development -- one that will help homeopathy take its appropriate place in medicine today.(Excerpt from the Foreword) - Richard Pitt, CCH, RSHom (NA) Director, Pacific Academy of Homeopathy -By writing Impossible Cure, author Amy Lansky has accomplished a (nearly) impossible task: provide a clear, comprehensible, and compelling exposition of homeopathy. Her autistic son's remarkable response to homeopathic treatment motivated computer scientist Lansky to bring the long-neglected science of homeopathy to public attention. She has succeeded admirably. Impossible Cure is timely, informative, and remarkably reader friendly. An excellent, must-read book. Highly recommended! - Bernard Rimland, PhD Director, Autism Research Institute; Founder, Autism Society of America An accessible guide to one of the most mysterious of healing arts. - Wayne B. Jonas, MD Director, Samueli Institute
