Dear Simon
As I have been the first person who propound a comment like yours, I think it is my moral responsibility to tell my opinion about it now again after following 3 weeks of their efforts.
First of all, there was one point in your comment that I could not understand. What is the meaning of " I would be more likely to have supported it were it part of a global
drive to bring homeopathy to public awareness, but unless more is being done that we know nothing about" . As I see in this program the evaluation committee, nominees and voters are all from different parts of the world. Is there any other new meaning for "Global"?
furthermore you said: "this just looks like a back slapping excecise to me and I really don't see the point of that". As far as I observed in their emails and announcements, I never seen any try to even promote their courses (However as Shannon said Fairly: Advertising" is not necessarily a bad thing!"). Even less than a dedicated and famous homeopath like you that insert your website (Simon King, http://www.Homeopathy-Help.net) below every email that is full of your merits (And honestly they are really impressive).
Overall I believe it was one of the most dedicated programs that I have ever seen but I quiet agree with you in one point that it is better to see such programs from the side of well known organizations in the future. I am sure you and your colleagues will be the organizer of next non-profit program for drawing awareness of world to Homeopathy. Account on me for that program.
Just my opinion, not making offence
Regards
John

Re: top ten
Dear John,
I have made it clear I am not against advertising so there is no
concern there
About promoting global awareness: by this I mean promoting homeopathy
to those that might NOT otherwise know about or use it.
Does it do this? Is this the purpose of the excercise?
As no mention of such a purpose was made with the mails concerning
the voting - I didn't even bother to look at the link, on the
assumption that if that was the true purpose it would surely have
been mentioned.
By 'back slapping' , I mean the practice of giving accollades TO
those within the homeopathic community BY those within the
homeopathic community for any purpose really other than for
achievements of promoting homeopathy to the public. (i.e. raising
awareness of the public to the efficacy of Homeopathy) I do not know
what the purpose of this award is, neither as I have said am I
particularly interested in it, unless it is part of an obvious drive
to promote homeopathy to the public.
For my part I have done my best (when a council member of the
Homeopathic Medical Association and when working with the Alliance of
Registered Homeopaths) to encourage those organisations representing
professional homeopaths in the UK to do more to directly promote
homeopathy to the public.
Also just my opinion and certainly no offence intended

Add to the list the homeopath who is treating AIDS patients with his secret
formula remedy that he would not disclose.

I, too, tend to agree with David on this *but* isn't it actually International Homeopathy Awareness Week this week? http://www.homeopathy-ecch.org/content/view/40/59/

Right on!
I personally give my vote to those homeopaths that look after the
poor and disadvantaged for little or no remuneration
I am interested though in the motive behind this current 'for he's a
jolly good fellow' campaign
I would be more likely to have supported it were it part of a global
drive to bring homeopathy to public awareness, but unless more is
being done that we know nothing about, this just looks like a back
slapping excecise to me and I really don't see the point of that

Is that what they are actually promoting? - I didn't realise as they
didn't refer to it anywhere.

Re: top ten
Hmm, well I'll add a few names to my own appreciation list.
*Melanie, of course, the first female homoeopath to practice in her own
right, who opened the doors to a whole new Parisian world which allowed
Hahnemann's practice and experiments to blossom in an unprecendented way.
*Clemence Lozier, suffragette and homeopath, established the NY Medical
College for women which solidly promoted homoeopathy.
*Elizabeth Cady Stanton, lay practitioner and suffragette, who worked
tirelessly for the rights of women to practice medicine.
*Susan Edson and Carolyn Winslow who chartered the Free Homeopathic
Dispensary in Washington DC. They treated 2000 patients a year, mostly women
and 60% black.
*Mary Florence Taft, gifted lecturer in materia medica and frequent
contributer to the Transactions of the International Hahnemannian
Association.
*Frederica E. Gladwin of whom H.A. Roberts commented: "one of the greatest
teachers that our school of medicine has possessed....probably no one in the
country had her knowledge of the Repertory, having worked with Dr. Kent in
helping prepare it."
*Margaret Tyler, helped organize and fund a physicians' scholarship to go to
Chicago to study with Dr. Kent. Worked at the London Homoeopathic Hospital
for 40 years. At 86 years of age, she was on duty at the hospital the day
before she died. Author of the homoeopathic standard, "Homoeopathic Drug
Pictures".
*Dorothy Shepherd, WOW!! She always maintained that the true healer must be
a scientist, and an artist, and the 'art of healing' was one of her
favourite themes. She gave long and unselfish service in London's 'poor
folks' dispensaries'. She felt that homoeopathy was for the people - not for
a coterie. Author of several brilliant books.
*Margerie Blackie, editor of the British Homoeopathic Journal, author, and
physician to Queen Elizabeth II.
*Julia Green, extraordinarily shy and softly spoken, but still became
president of the IHA in 1933. Dr. Lucy Clark said Green, "learned to smell a
disease from certain symptoms before any pathology showed or developed and
thus kept her patients healthy and happy." Wore funny shoes.
*Elizabeth Hubbard, ran her own private practice in NY for 37 years.
Travelled extensively throughout the world spreading the message of
homoeopathy, and was one of homoeopathy's most articulate advocates.
*Marion Belle Rood, WOW, WOW and WOW!! A legendary figure! The only woman in
her physics master program at the Uni. of Michigan. Worked on the quantum
theory during the 1920's, taught mathematics in Tennessee, and then attended
NY Homoeopathic Medical College as the only female student in her class,
graduating in 1932. She lived in a house at the end of a dirt road outside
of town. She had neither a phone nor appointments. Her patients would drive
up, sit on her porch, and wait. She began at 11am, and might only finish at
1am or later. Neighbours often brought snacks for the patients waiting on
her porch. She sat behind a small wooden side table with Kent's and Knerr's
Repertories guiding her. Busts of Hahnemann and Hyphatia watched over her.
In the 1980's she was charging $20 a visit. She raised and contributed
$50,000 which funded the updating of the US Homoeopathic Pharmacopoeia.
*Maesimund Panos, born into a long line of homoeopaths. In the words of
Julian Winston: "It was Panos who met George Vithoulkas in Greece in 1969
and introduced him to a whole new generation of homoeopaths. It was Panos
who understood where homoeopathy in the US needed to go, and helped take it
there. It was mainly through her generosity that the NCH survived into the
1980's. The mark Panos left in American homoeopathy (and, in a way,
homoeopathy in Europe as well) is probably larger than anyone can estimate."
*Sandra Chase, Sheilagh Creasy, Amy Rothenberg, Catherine Coulter who taught
herself homoeopathy during a time when doctors wouldn't talk to lay
people... and the list goes on and on and on. It's a rich and inspiring
bounty isn't it?
Chris.

Re: top ten
Dear Sir,
Perhaps you may wish to consider an outsatnding Malaysian Hindus who
practised Homeopathy and operated a Homeopathic Hospital and an Institute
to provide homeopathic education in Malaysia since early 1960 until 2004.
The Institute was disallowed to continue his mission by the Malaysian
Governement authority but the Homeopatic Hospital continued to function.
His e-mail is hdoctor@tm.net.my and fax No: 604-6446312.
Thank you.
Dr. Lau
