Comment on "Cherokee Herbal" by J. T. Garrett: Many of the remedies from the ancient people of America have been lost, and Garrett has provided us a pathway to preserve the past by focusing on the plants as the spiritual sources for healing and food.

"Charles Darwin confirmed an important homeopathic observation that living systems are hypersensitive to only certain substances. Sadly and strangely, conventional scientists have attacked homeopaths for using extremely small doses of substances without any appreciation for the homeopaths’ credo that living systems—whether human, animal, or plant—will be hypersensitive to a limited number of substances (and the homeopathic method of individualizing treatment is a refined method to find this substance or substances)."
