Samuel Hahnemann: His Life & Times By Treveor Cook

A wonderful work on the biography of the founder of homeopathy, Dr Samuel Hahnemann. Giving his wandering life through persecution and tragedy to eventual success and the establishment of homeopathic medicine.

This definitive biography of Christian Friedrich Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843), the founder of homeopathy, a system of healing which revolutionized medicine and now in the 21st century has received more support than at any time in the last century. It is a story of one man's fight against the cruelty, inhumanity and quackery of the medical practice of his day and his pioneering efforts in the face of persecution, prejudice and bigotry to introduce a safe, compassionate and effective alternative therapy. Set against a backdrop of the tumultuous political and social events of Samuel Hahnemann's time, it vividly traces the development of homeopathy and his family's struggle for survival in the face of war, poverty, pestilence and persecution. Starting from the early days to wandering years to his last days in Paris, no milestone of Dr. Hahnemann is left behind.
