'What They Said'... or The Greats on Homeopathy

I've always had a 'thing' about quotes.  I used to write them in the front of notebooks (my favourites were those ones from France with the fantastic square paper in - you'll know what I mean if you had one), on paper and frame them in clip frames, and memorise them. And sometimes stencilled them (along with the sunflowers) on the walls as a student.  I had particular favourites - 'No Day But Today' from RENT was one, 'Carpe Diem' - brought to my knowledge by the brilliant Dead Poet's Society.  Well, you get the picture. I liked quotes! 

So I thought it might be worth collecting a few Homeopathy quotes from various sources.  The amazing Hahnemann with ideas way ahead of his time who has brought this incredible medicine into being, into our awareness and created such an amazing guide which is still so relevant now, over 200 years on has to be first...

"The highest ideal of cure is the speedy, gentle, and enduring restoration of health by the most trustworthy and least harmful way." Samuel Hahnemann, founder of Homeopathy

“No individual has done more good to the medical profession than Samuel Hahnemann” (the father of Homeopathy).  Sir William Ostler, “The Father of Modern Medicine”

"Homeopathy is wholly capable of satisfying the therapeutic demands of this age better than any other system or school of medicine." Dr. Charles Menninger M.D., Founder Menninger Clinic

"In the records of three years of Diphtheria in Broome County, NY from 1862 to 1864, there was a report of an 83.6% mortality rate among the allopaths and a 16.4% mortality rate among the Homeopaths.  (Bradford)."---Julian Winston

 "Homeopathy .... cures a larger percentage of cases than any other method of treatment and is beyond doubt safer and more economical and most complete medical science." Mahatama Gandhi

 "Homeopathy is the safest and more reliable approach to ailments and has withstood the assaults of established medical practice for over 100 years." Yehudi Menuhin, World famous violinist

 "The introduction of homeopathy forced the old school doctor to stir around and learn something of a rational nature about his business. You may honestly feel grateful that homeopathy survived the attempts of allopaths (the orthodox physicians to destroy it." Mark Twain

 “There have been two great revelations in my life: The first was bepop, the second was homeopathy.” Dizzy Gillespie, great jazz musician

 "The long-term benefit of homeopathy to the patient is that it not only alleviates the presenting symptoms but it reestablishes internal order at the deepest levels and thereby provides a lasting cure." George Vithoulkas, Director, Athenian School of Homeopathic Medicine

And there are many who use and support Homeopathy today... some celebrities are listed below...
