Publisher's Synopsis
A compelling account of a woman who graduates with honours from a premier
medical school in Delhi and enters the world of medicine, convinced about the
efficacy of the allopathic system of treatment. But along the way circumstances
and incidents drive her to do a rethink and she becomes a flagbearer for an
alternate system of treating patients-homeopathy.
A postgraduate of the latter half of the twentieth century, an era when modern
medicine, or allopathy, was growing by leaps and bounds, Dr Kusum Chand was
concerned by the weaknesses she could discern in the system. So she embarked
on years of learning and experimentation with homeopathy. It took her more
than two decades to personally validate its effectiveness, a period when she
became popular as a 'two prescriptions doctor'. As she puts it, allopathy and
homeopathy are like two colours of the spectrum, blue and yellow, good by
themselves. But when they come together, a new colour-green-is formed,
which denotes good health and wellness. The book includes several case studies
which support her theories.
This lucid and riveting account is as engrossing for the lay reader as it is
informative for those in the medical profession. Dare to Differ is certain to
resonate with people across the globe looking for validated work on a gentler
system of healing
