Sturdy useful volume carry along for Third World illness, Oct 12 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The World Traveller's Manual of Homoeopathy (Paperback)
Homeopathic treatment manual for severe third-world sicknesses, including cholera, malaria, meningitis, and snakebite. Although serious diseases are fairly rare, it is not unusual for a world traveller to be caught in an epidemic or get severe food poisoning when far, far from a conventional hospital. It happens often enough to merit carrying this book. We own a Himalayan trekking business and we regularly send people into the villages of India, Nepal, and Tibet. I recommend this book to all our travelers familiar with homeopathy. I personally when travelling outside the first world with my children often need good homeopathic evaluation on strange and complex symptom patterns. Colin B. Lessell's volume is good both for making diagnosis and prescribing remedy for urgent illness. Sturdy plastic cover, strong paper pages. The best carry-along medical guide of its kind.

The perfect companion to your travel homeo-remedy kit, Jan 28 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The World Traveller's Manual of Homoeopathy (Paperback)
The wonderful thing about this book is that it covers many nasty tropical disease conditions that are difficult to treat even with quality medical assistance. I would want it handy in any third world situation where medical service is inadequate. From common everday ailments such as sunburn and hangover to the frightening and obscure like Shistosomiasis and Chagas Disease, Dr. Lessell has the cure. The book efficiently extracts and distills from the massive volumes of homeopathic literature knowledge relevant to the traveller and packs it into a nice portable softcover manual. Particularly noteworth is the chapter on homeopathic immunization helping the prospective traveller avoid the standard dangerous and expensive conventional treatments. Homeopathic dilutions and some traditional herbal substances are used. A few of the remedies are uncommon and may require stocking up on depending on anticipated needs. The book is of a high quality manufacture and includes attractive old sketches. Browsing through the book, one can imagine being wracked with fever in an Amazon hammock desperately turning pages with shaking fingers, or at a quaint Paris bistro graciously recommending a particular wine that may settle the stomach of a travelling companion. An excellent reference.
