| - | Twenty-one prominent members of the homeopathic community have signed their name to a letter (click here to read the letter) addressed to Mr. Julian Winston, editor of //Homeopathy Today// (May 2001: 21-22). They accuse him of being intolerant and divisive of the homeopathic community by advocating his personal beliefs.Such accusations are not new in the homeopathic community--simply because homeopathy is a therapeutic method which is based on fixed principles and its history is characterized by practitioners taking license to call their practice homeopathy in spite of practicing contrary to its basic principles. | + | Twenty-one prominent members of the homeopathic community have signed their name to a letter (click here to read the letter) addressed to Mr. Julian Winston, editor of //Homeopathy Today// (May 2001: 21-22).

| Over one hundred years ago Lippe said that "the followers of Hahnemann who have found that his promises of successfully combating disease... were guided by certain fundamental and infallible principles... naturally looked upon every new departure from this strict practice which procured unparalleled success as a step backwards, and when these departures became so many fold, there was really nothing left of the school but the name. To try to gain a hearing, try to defend the master's teachings which led to success, try to show erring men the baneful consequences of their backward sliding--this can surely not be construed into a persistent effort to divide the school." | Over one hundred years ago Lippe said that "the followers of Hahnemann who have found that his promises of successfully combating disease... were guided by certain fundamental and infallible principles... naturally looked upon every new departure from this strict practice which procured unparalleled success as a step backwards, and when these departures became so many fold, there was really nothing left of the school but the name.

| Hopefully, this paper will inspire reflection on the course currently taken and impel many to renew their effort to rediscover Hahnemann and his great work, rather than trodding on the old ways of speculative medicine. The road that Hahnemann led us down may be narrow, rugged and beset with many difficulties, but is worth all our effort as it has proved to be the road of true knowledge and success. Lastly, I hope that this paper will be a call to action for the urgent need to understand, protect and further develop the legacy we have inherited from the masters of the past. | Hopefully, this paper will inspire reflection on the course currently taken and impel many to renew their effort to rediscover Hahnemann and his great work, rather than trodding on the old ways of speculative medicine.
