Sie breitete sich von Deutschland in alle Welt aus. In den USA erlebte sie im 19. Jahrhundert eine Blütezeit. Voller Bewunderung schauten Homöopathen von Deutschland nach Amerika, wo es homöopathische Colleges und Krankenhäuser in großer Fülle gab. Durch verschiedene amerikanische Homöopathen kamen neue Impulse über den Atlantik zurück nach !Deutschland. James Tyler Kent (1849-1916), amerikanischer Arzt, war zu seinen Lebzeiten und ist noch bis weit in die heutige Zeit hinein in der homöopathischen Welt ein berühmter Lehrer und Autor. Die vorliegende Untersuchung will die Rezeption seiner Person, seiner Werke und seiner Lehren in Deutschland erforschen. Die Forschungslage dazu ist bisher dürftig. Vor allem die Rezeption Kents vor dem Zweiten Weltkrieg ist weitgehend unbekannt. Daher soll mit dieser Arbeit ein wichtiges !Forschungsdefizit behoben werden. Der Rezeptionsprozess soll anhand des Erscheinens Kent’scher Werke in Deutschland und vor allem der Besprechung Kent’scher Werke und Lehren in den deutschen homöopathischen Zeitschriften von 1886 bis 1986 untersucht werden. Der Zeitraum von hundert Jahren wurde gewählt, um die Quellen, die ab den 90er Jahren des 20. Jahrhunderts deutlich zunahmen, einzugrenzen. Eine Erforschung der weiteren Jahre bis heute könnte in einer weiteren Arbeit !behandelt werden. Zunächst erfolgt ein kurzer Abriss der Homöopathie in den USA, ergänzt durch eine Kurzbiographie James Tyler Kents (Kap. 2). Die Darstellung der folgenden Arbeit ist chronologisch angeordnet. Deutliche Zäsuren bilden dabei jeweils die Weltkriege, in denen die homöopathische !Zeitschriftenkultur zeitweise zum Erliegen kam. Einer kurzen Einführung in die Homöopathie in Deutschland wird die Besprechung des ersten Zeitraumes vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg folgen (Kap. 3). Es zeigt sich, dass die Besprechung Kent’scher Arzneimittelbilder schon um 1886 in Deutschland erfolgte und Kent als wichtige homöopathische Größe schon vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg zitiert wurde. Dabei soll gezeigt werden, dass Kent bereits in dieser frühen Phase wichtige Homöopathen durch seine Werke und zum Teil als !persönlicher Lehrer beeinflusste. In der Folge wird die Entwicklung der Homöopathie unter dem Einfluss Kents zwischen den beiden Weltkriegen dargestellt (Kap. 4). Interessant ist dabei, dass Kent in dieser Zeit sehr umstritten war und vom „Lager“ der naturwissenschaftlich-kritischen Homöopathen als abschreckendes Beispiel für schlechte Homöopathie und negativen Einfluss auf die Entwicklung der Homöopathie genannt !wurde. Der dritte Untersuchungszeitraum wird die Zeit nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg sein (Kap. 5). Besonders der Verbreitung Kent’scher Werke und Lehren durch führende Homöopathen soll Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt werden. Dabei wird zu untersuchen sein, wie vor allem die Homöopathen Pierre Schmidt, Jost Künzli von Fimmelsberg, Horst Barthel und Manfred von Ungern-Sternberg, aber auch viele andere, zur Renaissance Kent’scher Lehren beitrugen. !4 Der letzte Teil der Arbeit gilt der Rezeptionsgeschichte Kents in Bezug auf seine Schriften (Kap. 6), speziell seine Theorie der Homöopathie, seine Arzneimittellehre (sog. Materia Medica) und sein Repertorium (homöopathisches Nachschlagewerk), im Spiegel der deutschen homöopathischen Zeitschriften. Die Arbeit schließt mit einer Zusammenfassung der wichtigsten Ergebnisse und einer !Bewertung des Kent’schen Einflusses auf die deutsche Homöopathie (Kap. 7). ! !1.2 Verwendete Quellen Die Quellenlage lässt erkennen, dass in der Zeit vor dem Zweiten Weltkrieg vor allem drei homöopathische Zeitschriften von großer Bedeutung waren: die Allgemeine Homöopathische Zeitung, die Zeitschrift des Berliner Vereines homöopathischer Ärzte und das Archiv für Homöopathie, herausgegeben

  • Discussion Samuel Hahnemann Was a Scientist. His Writings Appear To
    Foundation Course in Medical Homeopathy (Dr Russell Malcolm & RLHIM Team ) Discussion Samuel Hahnemann was a scientist. His writings appear to reveal a fundamental belief in God, but in his day to day work he was humanistic in outlook and had great difficulty reconciling human suffering with the medicines available to him. His writings indicate how distressed he became when he perceived the damage that inappropriate treatment inflicted on vulnerable patients. His indignation was heightened by the knowledge that death and suffering caused by poor medical treatment, could be prevented, if medical practice was more self-critical and the knowledge base was more reliable. One of the few medical writers that Hahnemann had respect for, was the English Physician Thomas Sydenham. Sydenham had been working and writing around 140 years earlier, but had made a conscious decision to apply the scientific principles of Francis Bacon. The epistemology of clinical medicine relies heavily on observations of how ill patients respond to a treatment. Reliable conclusions can be drawn only when comparable cases are treated systematically, with preparations that are standardised. In addition the clinical observations require to be confirmed in comparable cases and compared to similar groups of individuals who are either treated differently, or left untreated. Sydenham provided ways of identifying and classifying illness into diagnostic groups and also conducted clinical trials. His most notable discovery concerned the use of Peruvian bark (quinine) in the early clinical stages of infection (epidemic haemorrhagic viral fevers, plague). By carefully recording the circumstances of each case, he was able to determine that the mortality was much higher in patients whose fever was suppressed with quinine in the first stages of the infection.

The book contains the well known verified characteristic symptoms of all our medicines besides other less important symptoms aiding the selection of the curative remedy. All the new medicines and essentials of the published clinical experience of the school have been added. In its present compact form it contains the maximum number of reliable Materia Medica facts in the mini- mum space. I have tried to give a succinct resume of the symptomatology of every medi- cine used in Homoeopathy, including also clinical suggestions of many drugs so far not yet based on provings, thus offering the opportunity of experiment with these and by future provings discover their distinctive use and so enlarge- ing our armamentarium. I am aware that there is a difference of opinion about the advisability of further introduction of remedies, especially of such as seem obsolete or to some minds illusory.

  • 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.
