Title: Outrageous Portrayal
Review: This is one of the most poorly- informed books concerning Homeopathy that I have ever picked up. When I saw the title I was excited, being a consultant in Homeopathy, and I bought the hardcover at O'Hare in Chicago to read on a flight. I was very disappointed to see the portrayal of the Vermont homeopath as a kind of "woo-woo" hippie and the focus on her mistakes. Homeopathy is a serious medical paradigm and most practitioners are serious scientists and conscientious health-care providers.I found it very presumptuous that the author used Samuel Hahnemann's aphorisms from his defining book on Homeopathy, the Organon of Medicine, as introductions to each chapter, since he obviously knows little about this inspired approach to healing. My hope is that readers of this book will not reject Homeopathy from the way it is presented by Bohjalian.
