Homeopathy M - Z

September 13, 2009

Many people in the last two hundred years have discovered the wonder of homeopathy.

There are most probably over a hundred thousand American homeopaths, millions of Indian homeopaths, hundreds of thousands of South American homeopaths, and tens of thousands of European homeopaths.

This list does not include the many hundreds of thousands of homeopaths from other countries, including Iran, the Far East, the Middle East - in fact homeopathy has spread to every country in the World - and this list does not include any of the many millions practicing homeopathy today.

This homeopathic history project is focused on the hidden history of Europe, as told by the homeopathic journals and publications which are, to some extent, only now coming to light with the advent of Google.

This list is a compilation of all the biographies done so far (and also check out Sylvain Cazalet’s fabulous site for loads more information and hundreds of homeopathic photos PHOTOTHÈQUE HOMÉOPATHIQUE) (*photo used courtesy of Homéopathe International by Sylvain Cazalet at PHOTOTHÈQUE HOMÉOPATHIQUE):
