Barker was taught homeopathy by John Henry Clarke. He became an influential British homeopath and took over the editorship of The Homeopathic World from Clarke in 1932. He renamed the magazine Heal Thyself which he co-edited with his wife, Eileen Homer. Barker stated that cancer stemmed from autointoxication of the bowel. He stated that constipation is caused by the overuse of food preservatives, stress and the lack of "natural foods" in the diet.
