This book was produced in EPUB format by the Internet Archive.

The book pages were scanned and converted to EPUB format automatically. This process relies on optical character recognition, and is somewhat susceptible to errors. The book may not offer the correct reading sequence, and there may be weird characters, non-words, and incorrect guesses at structure. Some page numbers and headers or footers may remain from the scanned page. The process which identifies images might have found stray marks on the page which are not actually images from the book. The hidden page numbering which may be available to your ereader corresponds to the numbered pages in the print edition, but is not an exact match; page numbers will increment at the same rate as the corresponding print edition, but we may have started numbering before the print book's visible page numbers. The Internet Archive is working to improve the scanning process and resulting books, but in the meantime, we hope that this book will be useful to you.

The Internet Archive was founded in 1996 to build an Internet library and to promote universal access to all knowledge.

FOREWORD

We need this book.

While sports medicine has grown, with physicians trained in orthopedicsnow subspecializing in this area, practitioners have failed to take advantageof a wide variety of homeopathic remedies that are simple and effectivewhen properly used. There has been an all-too-willing acceptance ofinformation provided by drug companies concerning a small number ofmedications for sports-related physical problemsusually those on whicha particular company holds patents. Rather, Id like to see an explorationof the long-known and valuable healing properties of the varioushomeopathic remedies that Dr. Lyle Morgan now makes available. Withthese significant alternatives for healing sports-related injuries, Dr.Morgan fills a void in the literature and provides a much needed serviceto sports medicine for athletes, coaches, and trainers.

A READERS ADVISORY

It is not the purpose or intent of this book to replace the professionalservices of a physician or sports medicine specialist. The reader should nothesitate to consult a physician, sports medicine specialist, or other licensedhealth care practitioner for any illness or athletic injury that requiresprofessional evaluation and treatment.

Homeotherapeutics have been used by physicians, licensed health careproviders, and lay people for nearly two hundred years. Scientific researchis now proving homeotherapeutics to have remarkable and valuable healingproperties. The United States Food and Drug Administration has recognized the legal status of homeopathic medicines as listed in theHomeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States as approved drugs, aslong as they have not been altered in their formulations or inaccurate claimsmade to their efficacy. Most homeopathic remedies are available as nonprescription, over-the-counter drugs with the exception of some tinctures,potencies, and special combinations that can be used only by licensedphysicians.

The remedy indications and tables in this book have been taken fromauthoritative sources: the homeopathic Materia Medica, and the writingsof physicians, clinicians, researchers, in scientific laboratory reports,medical documents, journals, and other related sources. No attempt shouldbe made on the part of the reader to use any of this information as a formof treatment for illnesses or accidents that require the care of a licensedhealth care provider.
