[chottala.com] Homoeopathy & Longevity



 
Homoeopathy  &  Longevity
By ELLIS BARKER J. 


      SAMUEL HAHNEMANN and many of his successors down to the present day have frequently asserted that orthodox medication shortens life and that homoeopathic treatment promises longevity. These statements which may be found in innumerable books are usually considered to be empty boasts and wild statements impossible to prove by those who doubt that homoeopathy is superior to orthodox treatment. As far as I know, no attempt has ever been made to support these assertions by facts and figures. Yet it can easily be shown that homoeopathy promises length of life to those who follow it.

      It is a well known fact that medical men are "bad lives" from the life insurance point of view although they are not as bad as publicans. Publicans have to pay double premiums. Some years ago the Registrar-General published a Blue Book which contains comparative death rates among occupied males, from which I would extract the following figures:.

      COMPARATIVE MORALITY FROM ALL CAUSES.

      Clergymen, Priests, Ministers 443

      Agricultural labourers 470

      Farmers 495

      Railway guards, Porters 607

      Barristers, solicitors 627

      Builders 656

      Physicians and surgeons 693

      Coal miners 727

      Barmen 1724.

      There are, of course, many intermediate figures which cannot be given for lack of space. It will be noticed that the mortality among physicians and surgeons is nearly 50 per cent. greater than the mortality among agricultural labourers, the poorest, the worst housed and the most exposed workers of the community who, incidentally, get only the minimum of dental and medical attention-possibly to their good. As a rule the high mortality among doctors and surgeons is explained by their leading a very active life, having most irregular mealtimes, being exposed to infection, etc. I often maintained in the past that the unsatisfactory health of medical men is due to their readiness of employing their own medicines on themselves and neglecting elementary rules of health with regard to diet, etc., of which the average doctor knows little. It is worth pointing out that the medical mortality form Brights disease, diabetes, diseases of the liver and diseases of the digestive system is exceptionally high, proclaiming faulty nutrition.

      If the argument that the high medical mortality is due to the demands of the profession was correct, it would logically follow that the mortality among homoeopathic physicians also should be high and that only a few would teach old age. Hahnemann himself lived and worked to the age of 88 and he worked strenuously up to his death. He went to Paris when 80 and he never worked harder than during the eight years in Paris. During the last year of this life he wrote the sixth edition of the Organon. An extraordinarily large number of homoeopathic physicians have reached extreme old age and most of them have been active to the end of their days. It think a young and enthusiastic homoeopath might do an extremely useful piece of work in tabulating all the deaths among the allopathic doctors during the last twenty years, tabulating separately the deaths of all the homoeopathic doctors during the same period and drawing the average. That would probably show the justification of the claim that long life is given to those who are treated homoeopathically.

      I am engaged on a book on homoeopathy in which I would have liked to have made such a comprehensive comparison, but unfortunately I have not the time to go fully into the matter. I have collected from some homoeopathic periodicals a number of data given in the obituaries, and I shall be grateful to any reader who may complete my list sending me additional names. At any rate the lost of old doctors and surgeons whose age could be obtained from the British homoeopathic periodicals of fairly recent and from Haehls Life of Hahnemann is extraordinarily impressive, especially if we consider the small number of homoeopathic doctors. From this list it appears that longevity is extremely frequent among homoeopathic medical men.

      Samuel Hahnemann lived to 88, his wife Melanie, who practised medicine as well, lived to 88, his wife grandson Dr. Leopold Suss Hahnemann lived to 88 and among his friends and disciples we notice the following ages at death: Dr. Constantine Hering 80, Dr. F. von Boenninghausen 83, Dr. H.A. von Gersdorff 77, Dr. Hermann Hartlaub 79, Dr. A. H. Gerstal 83, Dr. M. Marenzeller 89, DR. S.G.S.M. Count Des Guidi 94, Dr.F.H.F. Quin 79, Dr. T.J. Riickert 86, Dr. C.C. Peschier 72, Dr. G. Lehman 77. Very likely this list is incomplete. Still, it is very impressive.

      Rather perfunctory and hasty examination of the obituaries published by various British homoeopathic periodicals during the last thirty years or so has furnished the following names and ages. Of course the list is far from complete. In many cases the obituary notice merely mentions that Dr. So-and-so, one of the oldest homoeopaths, or a nestor of homoeopathy, died without giving date of birth or age. As I said before, I would very much like to have the following list completed by readers of the "HOMOEOPATHIC WORLD": Dr. S. Lilienthal 76, Dr. T. Hayle 79, Dr. H.C. Allen 75, Dr. Johann E. Veith 97, Dr. J.J. Drysdale 75, Dr. W. Purdie 79, Dr. C.B. Ker 78, Dr. C. Ransford 79, Dr. G. Dunn 82, Mr. J. Moore 80m, Mr. T. Engall 80, Mr. J. Lawrence 92, Dr. E.C. Holland 95, Dr. D. Roth 79, DR. G.M. Scott 82, Dr. W. Bell 83, Dr. D. Wilson 78, Dr. J. Love 765, Dr. A.C. Clifton 84, Dr. S. Kennedy 85, Dr. T. Wilson 83, DR. Max Quaglio 84, Dr. G. Clifton 80, Dr. H. Gray 78, Dr. E. Cronin 81, Dr. Houat 73, Dr. J. Pritchard 84, Dr. Spiers Alexander 77, Dr. J.C. Torry 88, Dr. A.C. Pope 81, Dr. S.J. Capper 85, Dr. S.B. Brookes 75, Dr. T. Miles 83, Dr. Leo De Perry 77, Dr. E. Thomas 83, Dr. G. Wyld 86, Dr. T. Skinner 81, Dr. W. B.B. Scriven 89, Dr. D. Dyce Brown 70, Dr. J. Kidd 94, Dr. J.J. Garth Wilkinson 87, Professor Cesare Lombroso 75, Dr. S. Churchill 85, DR. A. de nose Walker 80, Dr. A.E. Ingersoll 82, Dr. R. Moore Barrows 81, Dr. William Boericke 80, Dr Hayward 86, R.M. Theobald 84, Dr. Murry Moore 70, Dr. R. Ellis Dudgeon 84, Dr. T. Wesley Burwood 84, Dr. J. Lawrence 92, Dr. B. Fincke 85, Dr. W. Huntingdon Leonard 82, Dr. E. Mahony 73, Dr. T. Cigliano 71, Dr. A.C. Chalmers 84, Dr. T.R. Jones 73, Dr. W. Bradshaw 85, Dr. Hamilton 89, Dr. James Wardrop 87, Dr. S. Morgan 88, Dr. W. T.P. Wolston 77, Professor Imbert-Gourbeyre 94, DR. Eubulus Williams 74, Dr. E. Hamilton 88, Dr. T.S. Verdi 74, Dr. J.H. Mackechnie 75, Dr. H. M. Paine 76, Dr. Claude 80, Mr. C.F. Watts (M.R.C.S.) 83, Mr. George Muller (lay healer) 93, DR. Teste 80, Dr. Espanet 80, Dr. Charge 80, Dr. Collet 80, Dr. Boyer 85, Dr. Chatain 88, Dr. De La Tremlais 90, Dr. Jousset 94, Dr. Charles De Moor 81, Dr. J. Blyth 76, Dr. A. C. Pope 78, Dr. J. Feild Deck 95.

      In the foregoing list, taken from the English periodicals, there are a few foreigners. Leaving these out it appears that about ninety English physicians and surgeons lived to an average age of about 80. The list of names is, of course, incomplete. Possibly the number of very aged practitioners might be increased to increased to increased to 150 or 200. I think the number of homoeopathic doctors in this country has never exceeded 300. In view of the small number of homoeopathic medical men, the percentage of those how have reached extreme old age is extraordinarily large and I think the facts given justify to lengthen the span of life, as Hahnemann and so many of his successors have asserted. I think it would be exceedingly desirable to obtain a complete list of English homoeopathic doctors with their ages at death so that one could ascertain their average age at death, compare it with the average death age among allopathic doctors and ascertain the percentage of octogenarians and nonogenarians among the practitioners of the two schools.
