What People Have Said About Homeopathy
"Homeopathy is wholly capable of satisfying the therapeutic
demands of this age better than any other system or school
of medicine."
Dr. Charles Menninger M.D.
Founder Menninger Clinic
"Homeopathy
.... cures a larger percentage of cases than any other method
of treatment and is beyond doubt safer and more economical
and most complete medical science."
Mahatama Gandhi
effective natural remedies that have no side effects"
Dr. Robert Mendelsohn, M.D.
Professor U. of Illinois Medical School and best-selling
author
"Homeopathy is the safest and more reliable approach
to ailments and has withstood the assaults of established
medical practice for over 100 years."
Yehudi Menuhin
World famous violinist
"The introduction of homeopathy forced the old school
doctor to stir around and learn something of a rational
nature about his business. You may honestly feel grateful
that homeopathy survived the attempts of allopaths (the
orthodox physicians to destroy it."
Mark Twain
There have been two great revelations in my life: The first
was bepop, the second was homeopathy.

The
fact that Britain's Royal Family are strong supporters of
homeopathy sometimes gives people the incorrect image of
homeopathy as primarily a medical treatment for the upper
class. Those of us involved in homeopathy know better. We
know that homeopathy can be of value to anyone who is sick.
The fact that homeopathy is practiced in India by more trained
health professionals than anywhere else in the world provides
some evidence that one does not have to be rich to experience
the benefits of homeopathy. At present, there are over 100
four- or five-year homeopathic medical colleges in India.
Caring for the poor is nothing new to Mother Teresa. She
has worked with and for the poorest of the poor for over
a half century. She has brought a message of love to them,
and her Missionaries of Charity have provided medical care
to millions of people. The physicians and paraprofessionals
who have worked in her Missions have not simply prescribed
conventional drugs, they have also prescribed homeopathic
medicines. Mother Teresa has a special interest in homeopathic
medicine because of its effectiveness and low cost.
At present, four charitable homeopathic dispensories are
run under the guidance of the Mother's Missionaries of Charity.
One of these dispensories primarily provides homeopathic
medicines to poor and sick children in Calcutta, while the
other three provide homeopathic medicines to anyone who
needs them. Considering the serious health problems that
poor people in India experience, it is truly miraculous
that homeopathic medicines are so effective as the primary
method of treatment for many children and many adults.
Mother Teresa opened her first charitable homeopathic dispensory
in Calcutta in 1950. She even prescribes homeopathic medicines
herself sometimes.
Dr. (Sister) M. Gomes, a physician who has worked at the
Mother's Mission in Calcutta since 1945, notes that one
of the obstacles to the spread of homeopathy in the Mother's
work is inadequate funding for homeopathic hospitals. At
present, several Sisters are studying homeopathy at a homeopathic
medical college in order to improve the care they can offer
poor people.
