-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).
