Re: Land S. Social and Historical. 20 years ago: The British Homoeopathic Journal, April 1988. Homeopathy 2008; 97: 108–110

Dear Sir,

It is good to review past editions of our Faculty Journal and especially the April 1988 edition when Bowel Nosodes were discussed – an area that should attract more research in the light of recent advances and current laboratory techniques. However, I write to correct inaccuracies in the report of the obituary of Dr RJFH Pinsent. Robin Pinsent was very meticulous and was insistent that he was Chairman of the Midlands – later The British – Homeopathy Research Group. His association with the Blackie Foundation Trust as Chairman of their Scientific Committee (not Community) and later Medical Advisor was inspirational and he had much to share when he gave the first Blackie Memorial Lecture.[ ¹ ] His lecture is available online at www.blackieft.org by clicking on News and then lectures.

The Blackie Foundation remains committed to supporting research into the principles and practice of Homeopathy and invites those interested in pursuing such reserch to contact the Trust Administrator ([phone]).

^aCompeting interest: Trustee of Blackie Foundation Trust.
