(3) The History & Founder of Homeopathic Medicine

If you are interested in the timeline/history of Homeopathic Medicine, this website outlines it starting from the 1700's. As quoted from www.wholehealthnow.com, here is an intro to who founded Homeopathic Medicine: "Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843) was the founder of Homoeopathy. He established the fundamental principles of the science and art of Homoeopathy. He is called the Father of Experimental Pharmacology because he was the first physician to prepare medicines in a specialized way; proving them on healthy human beings, to determine how the medicines acted to cure diseases. Before Hahnemann, medicines were given on speculative indications, mainly on the basis of authority without experimental verification."
