The Homeopathic Revolution:
Famous People and Cultural Heroes Who Chose Homeopathy
— a NEW book by Dana Ullman, MPH

Dear Friends of Homeopathy,

Many of you know the various books that I have written on homeopathic medicine since Everybody's Guide to Homeopathic Medicines was first published in 1984.  I have written many other books since then, but my newest work is by far the most important work of my life.

This is NOT any "ordinary" book on homeopathy…as you shall soon see.

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.

Please help us tell the world about this book and about homeopathy!

For Homeopathy,

Emerging Support for The Homeopathic Revolution

"Drawing upon the extensive use of homeopathy by historical figures, founders of modern medicine, and current celebrities, The Homeopathic Revolution documents the long standing efficacy of homeopathy. Given the research breakthroughs in the biological and clinical effects of nanopharmacology, it is a certainty that homeopathy has an evolving scientific foundation in the Integrative Medicine of the future."

"The pharmaceutic industry will hate this book almost as much as the AMA. KUDOS, Dana Ullman, for providing the foundations for a broader understanding of this far safer approach to health."

"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.

"Several Harvard-affiliated physicians have told me in private conversation that homeopathy has helped their family members or friends, but they would not want to say so publicly due to fear of ridicule. Hopefully, this book will help open-minded doctors and scientists to realize they are not alone and to have the courage to call for more research on this most interesting and paradoxical form of treatment."

"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."

"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."
