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 Dr J. T. Kent in the U. S.A., 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 began
writing a much acclaimed series of books, the best known of which is
Magic of the Minimum Dose and this book, More Magic of the
Minimum Dose.
Dr. Dorothy Shepherd grew up in South India where her father was a
missionary. She studied medicine at Heidelberg medical school and in
1906, and went on to study at the Hering Medical College in Chicago.
Her teachers were Dienst and Tomhagen, both pupils of famous
homoeopathic physician, James Tyler Kent.
Dr. Shepherd wrote several books on homoeopathy based on her
clinical experience including, Homoeopathy for the 1st Aider
and Magic of the Minimum Dose. In the 1940s she established a
homoeopathic center in Bramshott, England. Dr Shepherd passed away in
November 1952 after 45 years of service to homoeopathy.
