Book description
Dr Dorothy Shepherd had wide experience both in Harley Street and in
clinics in the poorer parts of London. Although she had leanings
towards Homoeopathy during her student years, it was not until she
visited the world-famous Dr J. T. Kent in the USA, and experienced
great benefit from this therapy that she fully adopted this method of
treatment in her practice.
Having embarked upon a career as a Homoeopath she studied the
subject deeply and the more she learned the more she became convinced
that it is the finest method of dealing with every type of ailment.
Being a true healer she believed that every sufferer should know of
Homoeopathy and in order to make it more widely known she wrote
Homoeopathy for the First Aider which gives simple
instructions for the treatment of injuries and common ailments.
This book was an immediate success and she then decided to record
her experiences in dealing with more serious illness and this book,
The Magic of the Minimum Dose followed.
Dr Dorothy Shepherd was a convert to Homoeopathy in the early days of
her medical career and until her death she had a large practice in
Harley Street and a Nursing Home in Hampshire. She was an ardent
follower of Hahnemann's teaching.
