Homeopathy (also spelled homśopathy or homoeopathy), from the Greek words homoios (similar) and pathos (suffering), is a system of alternative medicine, notable for its controversial practice of prescribing water-based solutions that do not contain chemically active ingredients. The theory of homeopathy was developed by the Saxon physician Samuel Hahnemann (1755–1843) and first published in 1796.

Homeopathy :: Fighting for the Right to Practice Homoeopathy
This is an update on the legal case for Oscar Fernandez. For those who do not know, Oscar is a California nurse practitioner who is the object of a legal action by the California nursing board for practicing homeopathy. The California nursing board and a California deputy attorney general are contending that homeopathy is not a legal practice for nurses in the state of California. Oscar believes that no one should lose their right to practice for the "crime" of practicing homeopathy.Most encouraging of all, the National Center of Homeopathy (NCH) intends to stand behind Oscar in his fight ??" immediately and generously matching funds with the $10,000 raised by the Hahnemann College. The NCH has always been at the forefront of defending the practice of homeopathy. Many of you will remember the vigorous fight staged for George Guess in the early 1980??Ts. One of the main functions of the NCH is to act as a clearing house and communication link in our needs to protect homeopathy.
The NCH needs more help to continue coordinating these efforts. I should point out that the NCH defense fund is for defending any legally practicing homeopath who finds himself in difficulty. I hope everyone will join me in supporting the NCH in its efforts.
