Summary

In The Healing Enigma: Demystifying Homeopathy, McCabe makes use of his full experience of homeopathy to give a fully rounded assessment of the principles of homeopathy and the manner in which it is practiced today. In his twenty-five years as a homeopathic educator, Vinton McCabe has taught thousands of medical professionals and laypersons alike both the philosophy and practice of homeopathic medicine. And through his books on the subject, he has reached many more, giving his readers both the tenets of homeopathy as put forth originally by Samuel Hahnermann more than two hundred years ago and his own unique viewpoint on the subject of homeopathic healing. In The Healing Enigma: Demystifying Homeopathy,McCabe makes use of his full experience of homeopathy to give a fully rounded assessment of the principles of homeopathy and the manner in which it is practiced today. Throughout a text that combines a passionate argument for a mode of healing that is "rapid, gentle, and permanent" in its action, with personal insights and unexpected humor, readers will not only learn what constitutes classical homeopathy and the possibility for healing that it represents for their own lives, but they will also be challenged to consider that the reality of the healing process fundamentally differs from the allopathic concept of curing disease. Where other books on the subject of homeopathy are limited in their scope to readers who are interested in the mechanics of its practice and the oversimplified selection of remedies, The Healing Enigmaspeaks as much to the practitioners and patients of traditional "allopathic" medicine as it does to those already in the alternative camp. While the "enigma" of the title speaks most directly to the practice of homeopathy, the underlying mystery has to do with the nature of healing itself and the methods that can be used to encourage the healing process.
