About the author
Amy Lansky grew up in a suburb of Buffalo, New York. She graduated from the University of Rochester in 1977 with degrees in mathematics and computer science, and she received her doctorate in computer science from Stanford University in 1983.
After many years working at various Silicon Valley research institutions (including SRI International, NASA Ames Research Center, and three years as a consulting associate professor at Stanford), Lansky made an unusual career move: she became a student, writer and promoter of homeopathic medicine. This was prompted by the miraculous cure of her son's autism with homeopathy. This experience prompted her to write Impossible Cure: The Promise of Homeopathy (http://www.impossiblecure.com), now one of the best-selling introductory books about homeopathy worldwide, with translations into several foreign languages. Lansky is dedicated to helping others -- especially families with autistic children -- discover the curative powers of homeopathy.
Lansky's homeopathic studies have included foundational course work with Misha Norland's School of Homeopathy in Devon, England; completion of the Homeopathic Master Clinician's course with Louis Klein; and studies with Simon Taffler, Sadhna Thakkar, Jan Scholten, and Alize Timmerman. For two years she served as coeditor of The American Homeopath, the journal of the North American Society of Homeopaths.
In December 2003, Lansky joined the board of the National Center for Homeopathy in Alexandria, Virginia and served on the board executive until 2011. She also helped to found and was an executive board member of the California Health Freedom Coalition from 2001-2005. This is the organization that sponsored SB-577, the California health freedom bill that was passed in September 2002. As part of this legislative process, Lansky testified before a California Senate hearing on alternative medicine.
Much of Lansky's current work involves promoting homeopathy through lectures, interviews, and columns, and providing general guidance and referrals to parents through email. She does not, however, treat patients herself. Lansky's monthly radio show on homeopathy can be found on Autism One Radio (aired the third Friday of each month). This show provides an excellent and free short course for those wishing to learn more about homeopathy. It can be found at http://www.autismone.org or via http://www.impossiblecure.com.
www.impossiblecure.com also includes a link to newsletters, the "Cure Stories" database that provides first-person testimonials of other people's experiences with homeopathy, an advice page for parents with autistic children, and pointers to practitioner referrals.
In 2011, Amy Lansky published her second book:
Active Consciousness: Awakening the Power Within (http://www.activeconsciousness.com), now one of the most exciting, far-ranging, and accessible books available on the topic of consciousness, spirituality, meditation, and the evolution of human awareness. It draws upon Lansky's interest in paranormal phenomena, her expertise in alternative medicine, her meditation studies, and even her research experience in artificial intelligence. Comprehensive, yet at the same time accessible and personal, this book invites you to not only learn about these mysterious subjects, but to develop the power of active consciousness for yourself. By including a series of exercises and experiments in meditation and self-inquiry, Active Consciousness provides an experience that helps readers evolve to a new level of awareness.

Amy Lanksy's writing is cyrstal clear. She makes complicated homeopathic concepts easily understandable.
A reference book which will be one the cornerstones of your library.
I have gifted and recommend this book to so many people, I cant even keep count!
This book covers it all and has something in it for someone who doesn't know "h" of homeopathy to a seasoned homeopath. I mentioned to our homeopath who's been practicising homeopathy for over 20 years and also happens to be an MD - that I was in the midst of reading Amy Lansky's book - during our appointment. He pointed to his bookshelf where he had his own copy of the same book and smiled.
My father was recently visiting us and saw me reading this book. My grandfather used to be a self-trained homeopath with quite a few materia-medicas and used to treat acute cases in the neighborhood as a hobby in the mid 1900s. My dad was quite impressed with this book - he read it from cover to cover.
I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in homeopathy. I highly recommend homeopathy itself. I find myself promoting it every chance I get. This book would be a perfect gift for someone who you might think would benefit from homeopathy - and trust me there's not a single person out there - who would not benefit from it- special needs or not! More people need to know about homeopathy - it is the better way to heal. My dream for the future is for homeopathy to be recognized enough that it's covered through insurance so more people are able to benefit from it. I highly recommend buying this book for yourself and others as well, especially if you know a special needs parent - this book is a really good introduction to homeopathy.
Although we had little experience with "alternative" medicine and none with homeopathy, we were willing to try anything to halt the headbanging, stimming, and unsettling behavior my then 18 month old son repeated day after day. We saw almost immediate improvement with the first dose of remedy. In the past year and a half my son has gone from a toddler who did not speak, play, or interact much to a happy, sweet, loving, typical 32 month old who by all means is normal - talks, laughs, plays, and tests out at or above his age on all developmental tests. People meeting him for the first time can not believe he was ever on the spectrum. While we have done many interventions on behalf of our son, it is clear to us through our documentation that homeopathy has had one of the most dramatic impacts.
Lansky's book played a pivotal role in my son's continuing success. Although homeopathy had dramatic results for my son very quickly, I wanted even faster results. I read the book at a time when I was losing patience and ready to give up on the homeopathy and move on to more dramatic treatments. The Impossible Cure helped me understand the history of homeopathy, how a remedy is created, why it works, and reinforced its legitimacy as a proven treatment option. Of the many medical texts, personal accounts, and research I have read in the past year, this book stands out as integral to my son's recovery.
Impossible Cure is not a "treating autism" book but rather a comprehensive yet quick-read guide to understanding the "science" of homeopathy. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for validation and explanation of this miraculous treatment option.

I have found this book so helpful and informative. It's written in a way that allows everyday people to read it and understand the basis of homeopathy and how it can help their bodies.
If only this book was in the syllabus for all healthcare training!!
