Dealing with Disaster using Homeopathy Remedies

Dr. Lauri Grossman is a health and wellness leader, breaking ground in American healthcare as she did in the natural and organic food movements in the early 1970’s.

Grossman opened one of the country’s first natural food stores in 1975 and championed the move towards organic farming. When the holistic health movement was in its infancy in the 1980’s, she pioneered programs in integrative medicine in hospitals and medical centers. Before the recent concerns about the safety of prescription medications, Grossman was already training medical doctors and other health professionals in natural therapies without harmful side effects. Later on, she developed curricula in integrative care for leading medical schools and teaching hospitals including Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Columbia Presbyterian Hospital, and New York University.

An internationally renowned speaker, writer, and educator, Grossman currently serves as the Chair of the Department of Medicine and Humanistic Studies at the American Medical College of Homeopathy, the first homeopathic medical college to open in the United States.

Grossman’s passion for holistic medicine began while she was a student at Cornell University. There, she met scholars who were questioning the prevailing medical model and looking for new approaches to physical and emotional wellness. After graduation she attended chiropractic college; however, her passion for homeopathy continued to grow. In clinical settings around the world, homeopathy was proven effective for an ever-expanding list of acute and chronic diseases. Ever the pioneer, Grossman traveled to medical centers in Europe to learn more. Then she became one of the first to train at both the prestigious New England School of Homeopathy in Massachusetts and the Hahnemann College of Homeopathy in Berkeley, California. At the time, she was also the only one to go on to study with such internationally respected homeopaths as Lou Klein in Canada, George Vithoulkas in Greece, Rajan Sankaran in India, and Jeremy Scher in England.

Working with teams of physicians and policy makers in the 1980’s and 90’s, she was successful in integrating homeopathy into the American healthcare system. Now she is a leading speaker on homeopathy in this country. Her appearances range from radio, television, and print media, to nationwide speaking engagements at colleges, medical institutions, community centers, and not for profit organizations. Her film, Natures, produced with the assistance of the National Geographic Film Archives, is a standard for introducing the idea of natural medicines into medical schools.

In her private practice of more than thirty years Dr Lauri Grossman has helped thousands of patients to overcome both physical and emotional illness using. She has been featured in The New York Times, U.S. News and World Report, and Good Morning America and is frequently quoted as an expert in local and national media outlets.
