In 1872, German homeopath W.H. Schuessler coined the term “biochemical medicine: for his new system of therapeutics that was based in large part on the work of Samuel Hahnemann, the father of homeopathy. In seeking to find a simplified system of treatment that used only a dozen homeopathic remedies—each of which naturally occur as chemical compounds in the human body—Schuessler developed a method of treatment that could rightly be considered the perfect balancing point between homeopathy and nutritional medicine.
As author Vinton McCabe puts it in his book, The Healing Echo: Discovering Homeopathic Cell Salt Remedies, “The cell salts are to classical homeopathy what a crock-pot is to a microwave. The healing that they inspire is gentle and steady, if a little bit slow. But when efficacy and safety are desired in medical treatment, the small group of homeopathic remedies known as cells salts should always be considered.â€
In The Healing Echo, Vinton McCabe claries Schussler’s methods and his philosophy of treatment in a manner that is clear, concise and fully engaging. With this exploration of the cell salts, McCabe offers readers a method by which they may learn the fundamentals of this simplified form of homeopathic treatment. Further, he offers a comprehensive look at the cell salt remedies themselves, their used in the treatment of specific conditions and the manner in which they may become a part of a daily program of nutrition in the home.
With the publication of The Healing Echo, Vinton McCabe completes the work he began in The Healing Enigma: Demystifying Homeopathy and continued in The Healing Bouquet: Exploring Bach Flower Remedies. While each of these three volumes stands alone, giving a comprehensive look at an individual system of therapeutics, together they present the full panorama of what must be considered homeopathic medicine: from creator Samuel Hahnemann’s homeopathic remedies to Edward Bach’s floral essences to W.H. Schuessler’s cells salts, the three books together display the diverse power and range of homeopathic treatments.
