	Samuel Hahnemann
		Samuel Christian Frederic Hahnemann, M.D. Samuel Hahnemann was the founder of Homoeopathy.
		Hahnemann discovered the remedial powers of drugs and inert substances such as gold, platinum, silica, vegetable charcoal, lycopodium, etc. By preparing the medicines through potentization, these inert and insoluble substances became soluble in alcohol or water and were charged with medicinal force.
		Hahnemann was quick to recognize poor hygiene as a contributory cause to the spread of disease.

	Samuel Hahnemann
		Hahnemann decided to experiment with the effects of cinchona upon himself and discovered that the side-effects, or symptoms, that it produced in him were similar to the symptoms of malaria.
		Hahnemann focused on reducing the dose to the point where there were no side effects but he was unsatisfied because this step further rendered the dose insufficient in strength to act.
		Hahnemann's homeopathic treatment of the survivors, and also of the victims of the great typhus epidemic that followed the siege, was highly successful and further spread his, and homeopathy's, reputation.

	CHRISTIAN FRIEDRICH SAMUEL HAHNEMANN
		Hahnemann first stumbled across the phenomena that he was later to call the homand#339;opathic action of drugs in the year that he gave up his practice.
		Hahnemann was not satisfied by this statement for, if it were true, then all bitter, astringent substances should likewise be effective in the treatment of malaria, and they were not.
		Hahnemann homoeopathic treatment of the survivors, and also of the victims of the great typhus epidemic that followed the siege, was highly successful and further spread his, and homoeopathy's, reputation.

		Samuel Hahnemann was a German physician who earned his Doctor of Medicine degree in 1779.
		Hahnemann recognized this and wrote critically of current practices in several papers on topics such as Arsenic poisoning, hygiene, dietetics and psychiatric treatment.
		Hahnemann reasoned that doses of these substances that produced overt symptoms would be inappropriate for treatment of diseases with the same symptoms.

	Christian Friedrich Samuel Hahnemann (www.whonamedit.com)
		Hahnemann’s principle, Simila similibus («with the help of the same»), both formally and in its content it is a declaration of war on traditional medicine, which from Antiquity had been based on the principle contraria contrariis («with the help of the opposite»).
		During the years 1811-1812 Hahnemann had a busy practice in Leipzig, where in 1812 he was given the venia legendi as a teacher at the university, and thus was able to disperse his doctrine to a small group of students.
		Hahnemann attended the funeral and was present at the post-mortem investigation.

	Dr. Hahnemann's cure for 'heroic' medicine. (Samuel Hahnemann, homeopath) - HighBeam Encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Hahnemann was skeptical of the theory that quinine cured the disease through its astringent and bitter characteristics and "strengthening qualities it exerts on the stomach," according to one medical text of the time.
		Hahnemann believed that symptoms were a sign of healing and should be stimulated, not stifled.
		Hahnemann countered critics of his Law of Infinitesimals by explaining that the curative powers of the drug lay not in the presence of the original active ingredient but in the physician's method of preparing the dose.
