Product not active. Dr. John Bastyr - Philosophy & Practice Melanie Grimes, RSHom, CCH

"Quite riveting. Couldn't put it down!"
-Julian Winston, historian, editor of "Homeopathy Today"

--a good addition to the literature, a piece of history that could so easily have been lost, and a great example of how homeopathy is woven through naturopathic practice.
-Karen Allen, CCH, RC, RSHom(NA), Bastyr University Homeopathy Department Adjunct Faculty

Dr Bastyr practiced medicine in Seattle, Washington treating more than 50 thousand patients over five generations, for seven decades. The information gleaned from patients, students, lectures, and directly from Bastyr himself, contains many findings from his years of practice, many of which have not been recorded until now.

Known as "The father of Naturopathic Medicine" Bastyr was also a homeopath, using homeopathy with nearly 90% of his patients. Trained by a student of Adolfe Lippe, as well as a student of Sebastian Kneipp, Bastyr was a link to the early practitioners of homeopathy as well as naturopathy.

The book covers his use of hydrotherapy, electrotherapy, nutrition, chiropractic, botanical medicine, and homeopathy and provides valuable additions to our clinical materia medica.

The book discusses Bastyr practice of medicine, his philosophy of healing, his place in the history of medicine and homeopathy in the United States as well as Washington State. This book provides a numerous addition to clinical materia medica, as well as insights into the philosophy of Bastyr's teachers, whom he called, "the Old Timers, "and presents the philosophy of a man of great integrity in the healing profession.

Bastyr's conversion to homeopathy was an important move for the modern naturopathic profession--His balanced emphasis of homeopathy as a therapeutic modality coequal with nutrition, hydrotherapy and botanical medicine assured its place in the ongoing development of naturopathic science.

STATEMENT ABOUT DANA ULLMAN, MPH, by DAVID ANICK, MD, PhD., Harvard School of Medicine: 

"You are the Jon Stewart of homeopathy, the way you combine information ("gee I didn't know that!") with humor.  And you avoid defensiveness, which is terrific."
