Some time ago, a lengthy and very stressful situation was forced upon me that resulted in extremely high blood pressure, the effects of which were terrible. I then proved to have serious allergic reactions to two standard pharmaceutical prescriptions, the additional effects of which were even more awful than the blood-pressure symptoms.
At that point, my medical doctor (bless his gutsy heart) recommended that I consider using homeopathy, and put me in touch with the wonderful Kimberly Woods, a homeopathic consultant specializing in the treatment of acute and chronic disorders.
After a lengthy written interview, she suggested a specific homeopathic remedy. Since I was at that point on the edge of heart attack or stroke, and grasping at straws for treatment, I began taking the recommended remedy and (rather quickly!) my blood pressure began drifting down toward the vicinity of normal. It has stayed there ever since. Was I impressed? You can bet on it!
So… homeopathy? This is a complex subject in and of itself, and Ms. Woods has, thank goodness, done a great job of dealing frankly and sensibly with the subject. Her new book is written in an easy-to-read, approachable, and intriguing manner.
