This is a book about homeopathy: what it is, how it developed, where it stands today. It is a critical book but not a hatchet job. It is written for people with questioning minds. Anyone who has already adopted a fixed opinion about homeopathy, either for or against, may receive the odd shock. No prior knowledge is assumed but this does not mean that the book is only for beginners. Even if you have read a good deal about homeopathy you will probably find that you view it differently after you have finished. Anthony Campbell is a former consultant physician at The Royal London Homeopathic Hospital, which is the largest of the five NHS homeopathic hospitals in Britain. He is a Fellow of the Faculty of Homeopathy and a former Editor of the British Homeopathic Journal.
