Editor's note: Alternatives to modern Western medicine exist that are effective and safe. Homeopathy, used by millions worldwide but without enormous advertising budgets to make itself well known, is one of those and is based on its own unique, valid, and scientific principles.
When I walked into the office of Raymond Seidel, MD, in 1972, I never thought that it would change my life. I was new in Philadelphia and looking for a doctor. Someone sent me to Dr. Seidel. During the next eight years, I found that the old doctor changed my health dramatically. By the time he passed away in 1980, I had found homeopathy and the way to take charge of my own health. I also had discovered a philosophy that fascinated me and a colorful history filled with amazing people.
