James Kent (1849-1916),American homeopath. Kent became interested in homeopathy when,in 1876,it apparently cured his seriously ill wife. He became a practitioner,helping promote homeopathy in the USA and developing the idea that patients could be grouped into 'constitutional types'. Homeopathic medicine is based upon the belief that a substance which,when ingested,produces similar symptoms to a disease will,in infinitesimal dilutions,cure that disease. In many cases dilutions are so small that the patient is unlikely to ingest even a molecule of the diluted substance. Despite an ambiguous scientific basis,homeopathy is a popular and harmless treatment | |
