Homeopathy for Everyone

Editorial, Homeopathy for Everyone, January 2015

I received a brief letter today from Dr. Todd Rowe, founder of the American Medical College of Homeopathy (AMCH) in Arizona (U.S.). It stated that, because of financial difficulties the college is closing in February.  I despaired at learning this, because AMCH was the only  homeopathic medical college in the U.S. The last homeopathic college before that was Hahnemann Medical College in Philadelphia, which stopped teaching homeopathy in 1955.  To get AMCH started had taken a lot of hard work and a great deal of inspiration from many people. Today, we salute everyone who worked so hard to create it.

f-AMCH1.jpgOf course, Homeopathy will continue in the U.S. There are many talented homeopaths and other excellent schools, but a medical school was important.  It was a way of institutionalizing homeopathy, giving it legitimacy in a way that nothing else could.  Eventually, it would have made possible a homeopathic hospital, something we desperately need. If homeopathy were institutionalized, it would help humanize the culture of medicine, which is spiraling into greed and reductionism. Official recognition of homeopathy would allow grant money to flow for research and it would offer protection to homeopaths and homeopathic pharmacies which have lately been under attack.

Homeopathy is the enlightened future of medicine. It follows inevitably from the newest research in physics and medicine.  If you consider its ability to cure chronic disease, to treat viral infections, to address epidemics, to cure without side effects and its low cost, it is the obvious and rational choice. Every effort each of us makes, takes us closer to the goal of… Homeopathy for everyone.

  • How sad the news are. I wished that we could focus our efforts more efficiently in the future for preserving the few vital organizations and colleges that we still have.
    We will miss AMCH!

  • On answer as has been done in India is to allow Modern Medicine alongside, which also invited the chance for INTEGRATED MEDICINE ..

  • It is now very hard to believe that in the kingdom of the notable Homoeopath Dr James Tyler Kent there is no Homoeopathic institute to be present after the closing of Arch at Arianna.And only due to financial crisis?

  • It is sad to hear that a good and the only Homeopathic Medical college in the US has to be closed because of financial difficulties. All the Homeopaths, and the Homeopathic Practitioners specially in that country, must strive hard to keep it going, and make it an advanced Institution of Homeopathic Learning, and produce more and more Homeopathic vterans like Farrington, Nash, and Boericke. America can do it.
