Homeopathy: Good Science
Extracts From The Review Of Homeopathy: Good Science in The Homeopath, The Journal Of the Society Of Homeopaths, Winter 2010:
This is a book whose time has come and it has appeared just in time. As the mindless gangsters continue to persecute homeopathy, here is cool calm collected clarity and felicity of expression. Peter Adams studied philosophy in Oxford before he became a homeopath. He has a skill of presenting difficult ideas and concepts for the intelligent reader. I hope that this book will appeal to the homeopath and the non-homeopath equally.
Adams has brought together references not only to specific research into homeopathy but research from a wide range of topics from many schools and many subjects, which have a bearing on homeopathy and entirely justify what we do. Interspersed with the serious ideas are case studies, short vignettes which are examples of our work in practice. He looks at physics, maths, chemistry, biology, complexity, explained with simplicity. His thesis is that we do not challenge science, we do not seek to overturn it, we can help science to develop, but we do need to challenge some self-styled scientists.
…The evidence is there of a campaign against homeopathy. Maybe this book will become a leader in the fight back.… This campaign ignores the wealth of research, which corroborates our work, especially the research into the properties of water, which was new to me and appealed to my imagination as well as assuaging my ignorance.
