Passionate about choice;
positive about homeopathy
The “homeopathy has worked for me” campaign is being run by H:MC21
(Homeopathy: Medicine for the 21st Century).
H:MC21 is a charity (no. 1124711) registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales, registered address: Poppyseed Cottage, High Street, Stoke Ferry, Norfolk PE33 9SF. It was set up to promote homeopathy and to defend the right of people in the UK to choose homeopathy as a therapy within the National Health Service, as set out in its charter. You can read the objectives of H:MC21 below.
The trustees of H:MC21 (details also below) are homeopaths who are passionate about choice, and who wish to defend homeopathy against the attacks which are being made at present.
H:MC21 does not represent any particular organisation of homeopaths or patients, but offers itself as an organisation running positive campaigns in which all can take part.
The Objects of H:MC21 (Homeopathy: Medicine for the 21st Century)

The Trustees of H:MC21 (Homeopathy: Medicine for the 21st Century)
William Alderson RSHom (Chair and Treasurer)
William was elected to the Board of Director s of the Society of Homeopaths in 2010. He trained at The London School of Classical Homoeopathy. He had originally sought homeopathic treatment out of desperation, but it was not simply the success of the treatment that convinced him of the importance of homeopathy. When he read Samuel Hahnemann’s Organon of Medicine and discovered that this was a medical system with a sound scientific basis, he determined to find out more, and ultimately to train as a homeopath himself. His publications include:
Halloween Science: The truth about ‘Trick or Treatment?’ by Simon Singh and Edzard Ernst (Homeopathy: Medicine for the 21st Century, 2009)
‘Miasms and Social Change’, Homoeopathic Links, 21 (2008), 117-122
William’s other interests and employment have included being a director of an arts charity (Lynx Theatre and Poetry); working in small scale touring theatre in a wide range of jobs; working as a video editor in television news; and campaigning on many issues. He is also a poet, photographer and letterpress printer, designing and printing by hand work for such bodies as the Bodleian Library, Seven Stories, and the BBC.
Jacqueline Mulhallen PhD (Secretary)
Jacqueline has recently joined the Trustees, and more details about her will be added soon.
Ursula Kraus-Harper MA PhD RSHom
Uschi was born in Bremen, Northern Germany, studied economics, sociology and social psychology at Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main and graduated in 1981 as Diplom-Soziologin (MA in Sociology); moved to England in 1988; PhD (doctorate) from the Faculty of Economics at Imperial College London in 1994. She has lived and worked in many countries all over the world, consulting, teaching, researching. In 1996, while living in India, she found a homeopath who cured her from years of migraines (for which she had tried various drug treatments, as well as acupuncture). That is when she became curious about homeopathy and its German origins. After returning from India she studied homoeopathy at London College of Classical Homoeopathy and graduated with a licence to practise in 2003. She is a registered member of The Society of Homeopaths, and a Fellow of The Royal Society of Medicine.
She practises in Filgrave near Newport Pagnell, and in Milton Keynes. In her consulting room hangs a little framed quote by an Indian friend. Some twenty years ago this friend had been told by specialists that he had about six months to live. By chance he saw a homeopath who gave him some of those little white pills, and within two months he recovered. "Homeopathy?” this friend said, “I don't understand it, I don't believe in it but I am alive because of it!"
