Famous People and Cultural Heroes Who Chose Homeopathy - a NEW book by Dana Ullman, MPH

Vivienne Weinstock — Classical Homoeopath | Children’s Health

I am honored that the foreword to this book was written by Dr. Peter Fisher, the Physician to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, but what is inside the book is even more intriguing and compelling.

This book documents many famous people of the past 200 years who have been known to use and/or advocate for homeopathic medicine. I am not simply talking about “celebrities.” In fact, I have already uncovered the following amazing facts (the book contains specific quotes and/or documented stories about each person listed below and his or her experiences with homeopathy):

• Darwin might not have been healthy enough to have written ‘Origin of Species’ without the homeopathic and water-cure treatments that he received from Dr. James Manby Gully (according to Darwin’s own letters).

• Numerous leading conventional physicians and scientists who have had extremely positive things to say about homeopathy include Sir William Osler (the “father of modern medicine”), Emil Adolph von Behring, MD (the “father of immunology”), Charles Frederick Menninger, MD (founder of the Menninger Clinic), August Bier, MD (the “father of spinal anesthesia”), C. Everett Koop, M.D. (former Surgeon General, U.S.), Brian Josephson, PhD. (Nobel Laureate & Cambridge professor).

• At least eleven American Presidents used homeopathic medicines or sponsored legislation to allow homeopathic practice (Lincoln, Tyler, Hayes, Garfield, Arthur, Harrison, McKinley, Coolidge, Harding, Hoover, & Clinton)…and two British Prime Ministers (Disraeli and Tony Blair).

• Many of America’s literary greats advocated for and often wrote about homeopathy, including Washington Irving, Louisa May Alcott, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Mark Twain… and European greats such as Goethe, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Lord Alfred Tennyson, and George Bernard Shaw…and many modern greats including J.D. Salinger and Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

• Numerous sports greats have bragged about their use of homeopathic medicines including David Beckham, Martina Navratilova, Boris Becker, and many more.

• Many world-class musicians have greatly appreciated homeopathy including Ludwig van Beethoven, Robert Schumann, Frédéric Chopin, Sir Yehudi Menuhin, Cher, Tina Turner, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Pete Townshend, Annie Lennox, Bob Weir, Paul Rodgers, Axl Rose, Moby, Jon Faddis, and Dizzy Gillespie.

• Numerous movie and TV celebrities have benefited from homeopathy, including early stars such as Sarah Bernhardt, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., Marlene Dietrich and John Wayne… and some of the modern-day stars, including Catherine Zeta-Jones, Lesley Ann Warren, Pamela Anderson, Jane Seymour, Suzanne Somers, Lindsay Wagner, Michael York, Dr. Phil and Robin McGraw, Priscilla & Lisa Marie Presley, Jennifer Aniston, Jade Jagger, Tobey Maguire, and Orlando Bloom.

 

“Homeopathy is perhaps the most misunderstood area of medicine, evoking passions pro and con. In THE HOMEOPATHIC REVOLUTION, Dana Ullman, one of the world’s foremost authorities, illuminates this field for laypersons and professionals alike. Like a medical detective, Ullman probes the corners of history and science in a delightful, fascinating romp. Highly recommended.”
Larry Dossey, MD
Author, The Extraordinary Healing Power of Ordinary Things

“How do we reconcile the fact that the American Medical Association has long held homeopathy to be worthless, when so many people have reported that they found help for their ills in homeopathy? The AMA responds that patients are unqualified to evaluate the treatment they receive. I think that attitude is phenomenally patronizing, and I think that Dana Ullman has done us a major service in showing that many of the smartest and most successful people in recent history have publicly expressed appreciation for the benefits they have received from homeopathy.”
John Robbins
Author of Diet For A New America, and Healthy At 100.

“Dana Ullman takes the reader from the origins of homeopathy as a 19th century system of medicine into a 21st century science. Through this fascinating ride of medical history, he shows us that many of the world’s most famous and respected people of the past 200 years have advocated for and appreciated this other approach to medicine. I am personally amazed that so many of my cultural heroes have benefited from this misunderstood science and healing art. Homeopathy deserves a definitive place in health care today.”
Leonard A. Wisneski, MD, FACP,
An endocrinologist and Clinical Professor of Medicine at George Washington University Medical Center;
Adjunct Faculty in the Department of Physiology and Biophysics at Georgetown University;
Authored over 30 scientific articles and a textbook, The Scientific Basis of Integrative Medicine.

“Through this fascinating ride through medical history, we see that many of the world’s most famous and respected people of the past 200 years have advocated for and appreciated this “other” school of medicine. As the interest in alternative approaches to medicine continues to multiply, Ullman’s The Homeopathic Revolution provides an absolutely compelling case for the past, present and future of this potent approach to health and healing.”
