I thought this might be of interest to those of you who write articles and represent homeopathy to the community. This book on google books gives detailed comparisons of various illnesses and their death rates for both allopathy and homeopathy. It's a wonderful source if you are in need of good statistics covering 50 - 100 years!
Homeopathy and Health, 1914. It's a homeopathic magazine. I would search the title.
For example, it states: "For the treatment of pneumonia, for thirty-two years, the average death rate under homeopathic treatment is 3.9%, while under old school treatment, the deathrate is 29.5%. It also lists the medical societies from which the stats were gathered. It also has a *very* interesting article regarding, "The Case Against the Vaccines and Serums." It seems not much has changed, actually.
There are also many fascinating books in defense of homeopathy and comparing it to "old school."
I know for sure of interest for this group will be "The Hering Quarterly: Devoted to Pure Hahnemannian Homeopathy" from 1910.
And for those of you who love a good email-list joust, you cannot miss reading, "Fifty Reasons for being a Homeopath" by James Compton Burnett, the 1896 version!
