| Founder, President, and Chief Pharmacist
of Hahnemann Laboratories
With deep regret we must announce that Michael Quinn, 57, died
Wednesday, January 28th at 12:30 PM Hawaii time, after suffering
a sudden, massive stroke. His integrity and total dedication to
his craft were well known and appreciated by everyone. Michael graduated
from the Pharmacy School at Oregon State University in 1979. He
started Hahnemann Laboratories as a retail pharmacy, in 1985. Dissatisified
with the quality of remedies available at that time, he began preparing
the medicines himself. With the help of an engineer he constructed
a potentizer which simulated remedies made by hand.This was the
first machine in the USA to actually make remedies with dilution
and succession, as specified in the HPUS. He prepared many of the
remedies himself on this machine. Demand for the remedies grew until,
in 1997, he opened an FDA licensed homeopathic pharmaceutical laboratory.
Michael Quinn was involved in promoting homeopathy around the
world, often donating remedies to worthy causes. Unafraid of controversy,
he was glad to debate with homeopathy’s critics. Always on
the cutting edge of his science, Michael produced many exotic, custom
made remedies, which were sold worldwide. He was on the board of
the Homeopathic Pharmacopeia.
Michael is survived by his wife April Eya, his daughter Allison
and his son Mikio.
The staff at Hahnemann Laboratories is committed to maintaining
Michael’s legacy of precision manufacturing and high quality
remedies.
