WOW! I really can't describe how grateful I am for Dana Ullmans books. We have this one and Everybody's Guide to Homeopathic Medicine and use both extensively. My 4 year old son has had asthma for 2 years and spent the first year on daily inhalers that never did much other than ruin his immune system. He was constantly sick and when it hit it lasted for weeks. About a year ago we decided to approach this naturally. We put him on a organic Gluten Free Casein Free Egg Free Soy Free diet (plus a couple of other foods that the intolerance testing showed) and started supplements. This helped tremendously and his immune system is improving. When he does get sick (which is getting rarer and rarer these days!) we open our homeopathy bible and start treating him. The response is FAST and either cuts the problem in the bud, or greatly shortens the time he is sick. I don't remember when he has last had/needed an inhaler, and I don't think he ever will again! I like this book better than the other one (for kids at least) because it is easier to find the correct remedy since it was written for treating children. We now use homeopathy for every ailment we get, and the result is nothing short of miraculous. For all those skeptics out there: What harm is it in trying it? You have nothing to loose and everything to gain!!!

This is a great reference book! I now use it more often than my materia medica.

I love it. Its super easy to read and thoughtfully laid out. First section is general info. Second section is list of symptoms. They are titled on the foot of the page in alphabetical order so it's easy to find the ailment. Then third section is more details on the major remedies and is also titled on the foot of the page in alphabetical order so it's easy to find the remedy. I'd recommend reading the book when you get it and not when someone is ill. The bulk of the book is the guides so the actual pre-reading is pretty short- I read it all in a couple days whenever I had a couple minutes to read a few pages. It helps explain how, when, why and what you should be doing. You can also get a glimpse of what remedies you'll need to stock by glancing over symptoms pages. I'll be picking up Ruta in case anyone in the family will be needing X-rays. I wish they had a list of top 10-20 remedies so newbies could grab them to have on hand for when ailments come up. I know it recommends to go to their reference guides for places where you can get starter kits, but I would have liked to seen an actual list of most commonly suggested medicines for this book. I definitely recommend this book. He made some suggestions for other reads for constitutional remedies that I want to pick up as well.
