Decoding The Dose

The strongest arguments against Homeopathy have never been those directed at its fundamental principle, the law of similar but the most controversial, debated and argued issue has always been the remedial power of ‘high dilutions’. To understand the concepts and the evolution of concepts of homeopathic posology, a detailed study of the views and clinical experiences of pioneering homeopaths over the ages was essential. This involves a review of published literature like books, journals as well as cases of leading homeopaths.

This is not a theoretical work of speculation, but one that is based on Inductive Logic. This is not purely a theoretical study, but a study that is based also on the clinical experiences of leading homeopaths. It does leave scope and guidelines for further clinical study and research on the subject. The author requests the reader to follow the flow of thoughts as elucidated in the book, chapter by chapter, chronologically, to be able to evolve their understanding on the subject.

The purpose of the book is not to offer instant, readymade tips and rules for posology, the purpose is to clear the misconceptions and make the foundation strong. The purpose of the book is not to give INFORMATION on posology but to evolve the knowledge within the readers.
