Of interest:

Frederick D Fletcher was a British orthodox physician, Member of the Liverpool Medical Institution, who voted against the exclusion of homeopaths from The Royal College of Surgeons in Edinburgh in 1859, on the grounds that it was not honourable, and that medicine should not act against a system of medicine (homeopathy) that was the only system that had done anything for the improvement of therapeutics since the days of Hippocrates!

Furthermore, as no evidence could be produced that any homeopath had in any way acted dishonorably, the motion is unjust and sets an unfavourable precedent that any medical man adopting a different system (scientific error) was a breach of ethics, which is is not.

The allopaths were greatly afraid that homeopathy was so very popular, it would, in 50 years time, be as popular as vaccination and displace allopathy completely. At the time, homeopathy was widely referred to a a ‘heresy’.

This motion to exclude homeopaths was passed, and reported in The British Journal of Homeopathy in 1859 under the title The Triumph of Bigotry.

Thomas Lackenby Maughan was involved with Radionics “for a year or two”. According to Wilcox and Elizabeth Danciger, his involvement with Radionics was far more extensive and of much longer standing.

Throughout the 1950-75 period, he was a very close friend of Rosemary Russell, Lavender Dower, Malcolm Rae and David Tansley, all prominent members of the  Radionic Association, and widely regarded as comprising the ‘inner sanctum’ of that organisation.

According to Elizabeth Danciger [1990] he had also taught homeopathy to a class of healers, during the early 1960s. This group included the architect and astrologer Tad Mann, Bill Fletcher [a Wimbledon acupuncturist], and the late David Tansley, the prominent Radionic practitioner and Chiropractor
