Lutze ran a "naturopathic" clinic in Koethen. He manufactured his own
combination remedies.
He had a fascination with Hahnemann (although I do not think they met
when Hahnemann was in Koethen), and his clinic had a large stained
glass window with a pic of Lutze and a pic of Hahnemann. Most of
Lutze's stuff resides in the museum/archives in Koethen-- including
the aforementioned window.
In 1865 Lutze came out with a 6th edition of the Organon in which
Hahnemann allowed for combinations. No surprise coming from Lutze. He
said he got the manuscript from Hahnemann's grandson, Dr.
Suss-Hahnemann in London. The Doctor either was never asked if this
was so or never said anything about it. That side of the family
certainly does NOT have a copy of the 6th from Sam.
Melanie threatened to sue the publishers if they continued to publish
the Lutze book, and the book was withdrawn.
It was, at the time, generally felt that the whole book was a
fabriocation on the part of Lutze.
