I can't speak for others, but for me per- sonally it was never about finding fault with how others practiced home- opathy. I have a sincere desire to contribute and share from my experi- ence, which had become nearly impossible under the "old regime." So, although I am no longer a member of the board, I would like to do what I have felt unable to in the past few years, which is to be an active member of our organization. It is my intention to make submis- sions to the journal and to offer presentations at future case conferences, providing, of course, that my work is deemed acceptable. It is also my hope that others, who have felt alienated or on the fringes, folks who have either left the organization or may be on the brink of leaving, may, like myself, once again either rejoin or rededicate them- selves to the HANP in a spirit of camaraderie for the betterment of our- selves, our patients and homeopathy as a whole. Long live homeopathy, the spirit of Hahnemann and our enthusiasm to grow as practitioners of our sacred science. Sincerely, Jeff Baker Dear Editor, Although it was quite painful to read the back and forth debate in the Summer, 2002, issue, it was also invigorating to read so many pas- sionate and cogent letters from fellow homeopaths. I felt honored to be a "fly on the wall" as I listened to good people expressing themselves well. However, it was sad that some people took these issue so per- sonally and that others felt that all homeopaths should practice like they do. Worst of all, some people felt that they must leave HANP because cer- tain other people do not agree with their understanding of how homeopa- thy "should" be practiced (as though there can be only one way to do so). Fall 2002 Volume XV No. 3 / SIMILLIMUM 5 Assembly_FINAL 11/8/05 1:05 PM Page 6 Ultimately, we must realize that our field is strong and secure if we can openly and candidly engage in the debate that was printed in this last issue. It is my hope that we will be invigorated by our divergence of opinion. By seeing another way of doing homeopathy, we each get a bet- ter sense of what makes sense to each of us. May we take this pain of dis- cord and utilize the principle of similars to heal ourselves. May we respect the "symptoms" of disagreement, and may we see these symptoms as a way that we are trying to achieve a new level of understanding and health.

The HANP represents eclectically trained doctors of natural medicine that specialize in the practice of homeopathy. Simillimum’s mis- sion statement dedicates its publication to classical homeopathy based on the Organon. These facts partially explain the nature of the controversy presented in recent Simillimum issues. Letters published in the Winter 2001, Spring and Summer 2002 issues by Drs. Saine, Wright, others and myself have discussed the histor- ical and present discord at the root of this controversy. The discord exists between pure homeopathy based primarily on the Organon, and innova- tive, sometimes speculative, theory and practice that expands homeopa- thy beyond Hahnemann’s conception, and strict inductive method. Then add to the mix the influence of eclecticism/naturopathic medicine (vitalis- tic green allopathy) from ND training, and we can understand how this controversy arises. Co-Editors Barbara Osawa and Peter Wright resigned because of criticism of their adherence to the principles of pure homeopathy in reviewing the quality of cases and selection of articles. Neil Tessler has taken on the challenge of setting a new direction for Simillimum as acting Editor. Jeff Baker, Andre Saine and Peter Wright have resigned from the HANP Board, each for different reasons that related to the controversy. I appreciate the efforts of Barbara Osawa and Peter Wright as past editors, as well as Peter’s years of service on the HANP Board and wish them well in their endeavors.

  • Taking the Case of Homeopathy Juliet Louise
    PRACTITIONER BASED INQUIRY: TAKING THE CASE OF HOMEOPATHY JULIET LOUISE SMITH A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Bournemouth University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Bournemouth University January 2012 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with its author and due acknowledgement must always be made of the use of any material contained in, or derived from, this thesis. ABSTRACT JULIET L SMITH PRACTITIONER BASED INQUIRY: TAKING THE CASE OF HOMEOPATHY After twenty years of practising and teaching homeopathy, I am concerned that research into treatment by professional homeopaths has become stifled by evidence based medicine discourse. Homeopathy’s distinguishing features are obscured by erroneous assumptions that a homeopathic prescription is subject to the same biochemical pathways as pharmacological medication. Homeopaths are urged by external parties to ‘prove homeopathy works’ on biomedical terms. This reflexive inquiry is an attempt to redress the balance. From postmodern and pragmatic perspectives I reflexively engage with professional experiences (Smith, 2009) as a means of articulating practitioner based knowledge (Freshwater and Rolfe, 2001, Rolfe et al., 2001). The subjectivity of the practitioner researcher is transformed from a research problem into an opportunity to critically examine practitioner experience (Lees and Freshwater, 2008). The research process is a focus for the inquiry itself, with the intention of creating an open text that invites participation from the reader (Denzin and Lincoln, 1994). I ‘take the case’ of my own practice and its wider context, and enact a synergy of homeopathic practice and research methodologies.

  • Sir John Weir: the Queen’S Doctor
    SIR JOHN WEIR: THE QUEEN’S DOCTOR By Ken McNaughton At a glittering gathering of the Clan Macnachtan Association in Mayfair on 24 June 1965, an elderly gentleman bounced up to me and said gaily, “Are you a doctor? I’m a doctor. I’m the Queen’s doctor!” I was a callow youth of 25 years, an Australian post-graduate student making my way in London, book-educated but not yet worldly wise, and may have missed an opportunity to get to know a genuine celebrity. In a Christmas tape-recording to my mother in Australia I described the occasion: “But at one stage this rather elderly gentleman— elderly and stout—came up to me and said to me in a rather aggressive fashion, “Are you a doctor? I’m a doctor. I’m the Queen’s doctor!” I tried not to giggle too much and listened to him for about five minutes. He had many stories to tell and I had my tongue in my cheek and I was rubbishing [making fun of] him as hard as I could without making it appear too obvious when, after about five minutes, I realized he wasn’t rubbishing at all, he was deadly serious, and that’s true” [1]. Figure 1. Sir John Weir, Physician Royal to British monarchs for fifty years. John Weir was born in Paisley, ten miles west of Glasgow, on 19 October 1879. He attended school in Glasgow, with an emphasis on science, and graduated in medicine from Glasgow University in 1907. After a sabbatical year at Hering Medical College in Chicago 1908-9, he returned to the London Homeopathic Hospital as Consultant Physician in 1910, and rose to become President of the Faculty of Homeopathy in 1923.

    How do homeopathy users perceive homeopathy? Manon Françoise Fabienne Marie Knapen A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand September 2018 ABSTRACT Life expectancy has steadily increased over the last two centuries due to improvements in living standards, education, science and medicine. However, instead of basing health decisions on the best scientific evidence available, millions of people are currently using unsupported complementary and alternative medicines (CAM). The use of CAM is rising worldwide despite the lack of robust scientific evidence for their safety or efficacy. The central concern around the use of CAM is that users might delay or forgo the use of conventional medicine potentially leading to severe health deteriorations. Homeopathy, one of the most widely used CAM, is particularly interesting as its proported mode of action is deemed impossible by current scientific knowledge. Moreover, multiple systematic reviews have come to the conclusion that homeopathy is no more effective than a placebo. Homeopathy proponents, however, claim that homeopathic remedies are an effective medical treatment, which could lead to misinformed consent of potential homeopathy users. This research project investigates how homeopathy users perceive homeopathy, especially with regards to its scientific basis. The central question addressed in this thesis is: do homeopathy users in New Zealand use homeopathic remedies because they believe the remedies to be scientifically proven to work? A sequential explanatory mixed methodology was used to answer this question, starting with collection and analysis of quantitative data via a survey. The survey results informed the design of follow-up semi- structured interviews with self-identified homeopathy users.
