Brave Medical Life, A: The Founder of Homeopathy

Synopsis
This programme marks the two hundredth anniversary of the publication of homeopathy’s founding text ‘Samuel Hahnemann’s Organon of Rational Medicine’. It recognises that homeopathy remains deeply controversial, and that while some in Britain are convinced of its benefits there are many who argue that it is scientifically invalid and should not continue to be recognised by the NHS. This programme is not intended as an intervention in that debate." it is a historical programme locating the development of Hahnemann’s thinking within the context of late eighteenth and early nineteenth century medicine.
