Dr. Alfonso Masi-Elizalde, one of the great names of contemporary Homeopathy, passed away on July 23rd, in Buenos Aires, Argentina, at the age of 71. His trajectory in Homeopathy followed an interesting genealogy Unicist Homeopathy within the field.Masi Elisalde-founded, together with his closest associates in the 1980's,the Institute for Advanced Studies in Homeopathy.Masi-Elisalde published several articles in the magazine "Proceedings of the Institute James T. Kent ", as well as celebrated Introductions to books such as Gathak's classic book on miasmas.His supervision of clinical cases enlightened and directly benefited hundreds of people.
Unable to accept both the organicist and scientificist reductionism and the excesses of the dogmatic and non-productive Kentism that did not know how to evolve, he undertook the task of reviewing the classics and of pointing out the many gaps in the homeopathic episthemologic corpus. His intensity and determination assertive in advocating his viewpoints Triggered numerous discussions (some of them healthy, others only disproportionate reactions) in the Audiences he addressed. he was an expert in maieutics (the Socratic art of teaching students to think) and, using this technique, he urged students to always challenge their teachers.
According to Elizalde, Homeopathy is still in the nursery and its scientific maturity will require the continued vigilance and effort of many generations of homeopaths. Masi recreated the significance of modern Homeopathy (and it does not matter who perceived it or not), and with his iconoclastic Fury drove thousands of people in marginal Latin America, reaching other Continents. The most striking contrast is to see how an iconoclast of his kind allowed himself to be affected by his associates.
