PREFACE
Routine pathological low potency prescribing was used until the advent of Dr. Tyler, Sir John Weir and Dr. Borland. Sir John and Dr. Borland had studied in America under Kent and came back to revolutionize the practice of homeopathy here. They started post-graduate lectures, searching for the simillimum, together with the high potency method and the single dose prescribing
The spread of homeopathy has always been difficult. In the old days it was largely due to the prejudice and active antagonism of the medical profession as a whole. This has decreased over time. To-day the main obstacle is, modern medicine with all it's spectacular chemical, physiological, and pathological data and dramatic results obtained by recently discovered drugs, like the sulphonamides, penicillin, streptomycin etc. Allopathic doctors medicals find it difficult to believe that we have a better method with equally dramatic and very often longer lasting results. However, we have more entries for our post-graduate course than ever before and more patients demanding homeopathy. It is a great pleasure for us to have the paper "homeopathy in Theory and Practice" given by Dr. Borland, as he has essentially been one of the chief teachers of our method of what we consider to be Hahnemannian homeopathy.
