Their Influence on Medicine and Health

My first encounter with homeopathy was involuntary and almost disastrous. It occurred in 1947 when, at the age of 3, I became sick and was the subject of an unintended de facto experiment in which homeopathy and a new antibiotic were compared. In this contest of therapeutic philosophies, homeopathy nearly proved fatal, whereas the antibiotic produced full recovery.
