“Dr. Jose Mullen has crafted a wonderful book that describes the practice of
homeopathic medicine and what it is to be a homeopathic physician. It is a
book that should be on the shelf of anyone with an interest in learning more
about homeopathy.”

Homeopathy has been around for over 200 years. It is growing
stronger every day.
Yet, it is astonishing how little it is known and understood.
In 1990 I conceived the idea of writing a book devoted exclusively at making
Homeopathy as clear and as understandable as I possibly could.
In 1993 I published "Understanding Homeopathic Medicine". It was a private,
Xerox-generated, double-spaced, 93 page-long book. It dealt almost
exclusively with Homeopathy. I occasionally used some Allopathic ideas and
concepts, but only to make Homeopathy clearer by contrast.
I distributed the book among friends and patients. It was very well
received. It generated a lot of very valuable comments and suggestions that
moved me to write down a second edition and then a third, that I again
distributed among my friends and patients. Each new edition brought back a
wealth of extremely useful, important and interesting suggestions and
comments.
And so the book kept on growing and becoming more comprehensive with each
successive edition.
I am eternally grateful at all my friends and patients for all they did to
improve the clarity and quality of this book.
At some point I realized that to understand Homeopathy is not enough.
I have been trained in both Allopathic and Homeopathic Medicine. My training
allows me to recognize the possibilities and limitations of both forms of
diagnosis and treatment. In turn, this knowledge allows me to know what
treatment to proffer to each of my patients, if Allopathy or Homeopathy, or
if a combination of both.
Problem is, though; very few Health Care Providers share this breadth of
knowledge. Most are knowledgeable in one of these two approaches, but are
usually in the dark when it comes to the other.
Consequently, whenever someone goes to an Allopathic Physician, that patient
will usually receive drugs or Surgery or whatever, whether or not there is
something more useful for that patient somewhere else.
By the same token, if somebody ill goes to a natural Practitioner, that
patient will likely receive only natural treatments, whether or not that
patient could benefit from something different.
So, from that edition onwards, I decided to attempt to clarify not only
Homeopathy, but also how Allopathy and Homeopathy can be made to integrate
in the benefit of each individual patient.
From then on, I entitled the book "Understanding Homeopathy and Integrative
Medicine"
Now I am proffering you this 5th Edition.
I expect it will help you understand Homeopathy, how Homeopathy relates to
Allopathy, what are the possibilities and limitations of both forms of
diagnosis and treatment and, perhaps more important, how you can use this
knowledge to actively participate in the design of your treatments.
