Do you have any more information about George Adolph Weber? I am tracing my family and my Great Grandfather was Adolph Weber from Berlin.

I am also intrigued about my father history. I’ve been told about this branch of the family since I was a young child. It’s interesting to learn more about who these were. I’m a 10th generation Longshore in the United States. Very proud!

Comment on Johann Gottfried Rademacher 1772 – 1849 by Always Question

Thanks, Sue, such a quick response, and thanks for your comments. Yes, bless old Rademacher (who was, according to contemporary reports, quite the maverick. Anecdotes abound, such as how he walked about Goch, where he practiced, in wooden clogs – outrageous in his time as clogs were pauper footwear; the stories conjure up a decidedly Sulphur-ous character who cared not a jot for people’s opinions).

Thanks for those links; I’ll check them out in case they lead a little further. If you are curious yourself, the ‘th’ in Walther, if the name is set in “” will exclude all t-only Walters and so narrow the field. As will adding the word homöopathie, and/or Harlaching, as Zimmermann’s career is inextricably linked with that hospital (where Eeyeore was posted for a few months – his ‘claim’ to ‘training’ as a homeopath stems from those months, hence my curiosity about Zimmermann’s actual studies/credentials in homeopathy).

All the best,
AQ

Hi AQ

I have not previously tried to research Walther Zimmerman, and a quick look produced the information that he probably wrote Fragen und Antworten (?date) about pharmacy
http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=YeMfAAAAIAAJ&q=Walther+Zimmermann+homeopath&dq=Walther+Zimmermann+homeopath&hl=en&sa=X&ei=N9GrT8SDHZGb1AWr19WUCg&ved=0CEkQ6AEwAA

and in 1936 he carried out a 4 year breeding research programme on the castor oil plant
http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=gPrtE4K0WC8C&pg=PA137&dq=Walther+Zimmermann+homeopath&hl=en&sa=X&ei=N9GrT8SDHZGb1AWr19WUCg&ved=0CE0Q6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=Walther%20Zimmermann%20homeopath&f=false

However, I do consider this search difficult as Walther Zimmerman is a very common German name a bit like John Smith in England – there are just too many of them out there to be sure you have your man…

As for Rademacher… the verdict is open… as to what he may or may not have wished to be called, he is now forever linked to homeopathy and homeopathic methods… and bless him for this…

Hi Sue, amazing amount of work here, most impressive! I’ve often visited before, in awe; am just now on the site looking for information on Walther Zimmermann (MD of internal medicine, ran Krankenhaus fuer Naturheilweisen in Harlaching from 1958, wrote several books inc a number on homeopathy – but there’s no mention anywhere I could find about his actual homeoathic qualifications – I suspect he remained self-taught but would like to know for sure; eulogy (link below) mentions a Dr. Dingfelder, who practiced something called ‘electrohomeopathy’ but I could not find out anything really useful). Zimmermann’s name didn’t come up in a search of the site. I’ve been scrolling through Germany section for several pages, but as I can’t make out an order or how many more pages, I thought I’d take the shortcut to asking you directly.

What prompted me to stop and write just here (entry on Rademacher) is that I researched him in some detail for an essay and I would say that he couldn’t be considered a homeopath himself, was in fact not friendly towards homeoapthy. Burnett adopted a lot of his work, integrated it into homeopathic practice, and the results were wonderful, but I think Rademacher would not have agreed with being called a homeopath. FT has a really interesting biog about him (in German), written by close followers not long after his death, which you might find interesting.

Best wishes and thank you for the wealth of information on your site. Any material about Zimmermann you might have – beyond his son’s eulogy, the most detailed online resource I found http://www.martinsmuehle.de/Gesundheitstips/tipuebersicht/Gedenkvortrag/body_gedenkvortrag.html – would be extremely welcome.

Best wishes and thanks,
AQ
(Sorry about the cloak and dagger stuff: I’m an RSHom with a real name, using a pen name as the professor whom Stephen Gordon calls Eyeore put out word ‘who is this person’ among skeptic mates after I questioned his credentials once too often (as LilSugarpill on twitter) and if his followers spot that someone’s asking questions about his old teacher’s credentials it might be a little too obvious there’s a link – I have no wish to attract skeptic bullies, as has happened to some.)

Hi Sue

I honoured Leaf by using his name for all that is homeopathic that I do.

One very small mistake above and that is Leissen should be changed to Meissen.

William Leaf and Jean Barthelemy Arles Dufour intend to place a plaque on the house in Leissen where Samuel Hahnemann was born.

Best wishes from

Jamie

Comment on The Buchanan Homeopathic Ophthalmic and Cottage Hospital St. Leonard’s on Sea by Gerard Bocquee

“God’s wrath is being revealed from heaven against all the ungodly behavior and the injustice of human beings who silence the truth with injustice.” Romans 1:18
This can be applied to the pharmaceutical industry which has suppressed the truth about the God given method of healing called homeopathy.

For too long unspiritual men have tried to use science to explain the things of God, homeopathy being but one of them.

In homeopathic medicine God has placed His (spiritual) healing power that the natural man does not and cannot understand for they are foolishness unto him, neither can he know them
because they are spiritually discerned.1 Cor 2:14

For the things which are not seen are eternal 2 Cor 4:18

For homeopathy is not for those who:
“look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen.” 2 Cor 4:18
For it is the Spirit of God who gives us the ability to gain a fuller understanding of the world around us, not science.

Only an inspiration from God could have led Dr Samuel Hahnemann to dilute and dynamize medicines in such a way that the higher the dilution the more the power to cure, for God did say that he would use the foolish things of this world to confound the wise.

Rejecting the law of similar is rejecting God’s law of cure.
Some have abandoned what God has provided for the healing of the nations and turned to man-made drugs..
Rejecting that which God has placed on this earth for our healing is forsaking the Spirit of grace. Gerard Bocquee

I have a print named No 10. Study for a Portrait, The Hon Lois Sturt 1923.
Could you tell me where the original is housed?
Many thanks for any help with this
