About the Book

This book began as a lecture given at the Irish Homeopathic Conference on 1 July 1995 at University College Galway. My talk aroused much interest and emotion. 1995 was the chosen year for the 150th anniversary commemoration of the potato famine in Ireland. Homeopaths were as much involved in the coming to terms with the past as the rest of the population. I decided to respond and develop my ideas and sources into a book.

About the Author

Francis Treuherz

Francis Treuherz’ initial career was in youth and social care services, and as a university teacher of social sciences. On becoming a successful patient of homeopathy, he retrained and started life again. Francis has been in homeopathic practice since 1984, including 13 years in NHS primary care, and on the Homeopathic Helpline telephone service since 1996. He is a Fellow of the Society of Homeopaths, former editor of the journal The Homeopath for 10 years, and currently Board member and Hon Secretary of the Society. He teaches, and helped create specialist software for homeopaths. He has written many articles, a research report, and in 2010 his book on Hahnemann, The Genius of Homeopathy: www.homeopathyhelpline.com/genius. Francis describes his incurable disease as collecting books on homeopathy, with a library comprising about 9000 volumes. He is an active member of a Jewish congregation in London.

Editorial Reviews

This poignant collection of materials about the "great hunger" not only enlightens us about a dark page in Irelands history, but also fills some of the gaps in our own incomplete and imperfect picture of Irish homeopathy. As such, it should bring us all into closer relations with our Irish colleagues. For this we owe a vote of sincere thanks to Fran Treuherz. - Harris L. Coulter, Ph.D.

The book is another milestone in the career of Francis Treuherz, confirming his place as a member of that valuable species: the homoeopathic scholar. -The British Homoeopathic Journal

This new book by Francis Treuherz (an inspired historian and homeopath who practices in London, and was the editor of The Homeopath) is a very readable, informative, and sympathetic account. In this book, Treuherz explains that his book began as a talk presented at the Irish Homeopathic Conference at University College Galway, as part of the 150-year commemoration of that tragedy. The subject aroused such interest and emotion that he decided to make the information he had gathered more widely available. The core of the book is a stirring account of the concerted, selfless work performed by Dr. Joseph Kidd, a homeopath. It is valuable to read the story of a homeopath who had the courage to face unspeakable suffering and try to do something about it. - Alice Duncan, D.C

This little book is, really several books rolled into one: two biographies, some homeopathic philosophy, a proving, two historical accounts, a materia medica, and a repertory. Of great interest to me was the reasoning that led Mure to his proving. Wishing to treat the diseased potato with homeopathy, he realized that you had to "take the case" of the potato and find the simillimum. Fran Treuherz has provided us with a magnificent glimpse into our history and has given us a very complete materia medica for a little used remedy. This little book deserves to be on every homeopaths shelves. - Julian Winston
