Harris Livermore Coulter (8 October 1932 – 28 October 2009) was an American homeopathic historian, the leading homeopathic historian of the 20th century, Director of Publications for the American Foundation for Homeopathy, a Member of the editorial board of the Journal of the American Institute of Homeopathy, and Advisory Board Member of the Campaign Against Fraudulent Medical Research,
His four volume series Divided Legacy on medical history included homeopathy’s rise, its amazing successes and how it succumbed to the politics of medicine in the U.S.
His meticulous research on homeopathy’s success in epidemics has often been quoted to defend homeopathy’s effectiveness. His research was no doubt assisted by the fact that he was fluent in German, French, Spanish, Latin, Russian, Hungarian, and Serbo-Croatian.
He also wrote about the dangers of vaccinations. His PhD thesis from Columbia University, NY was Political and Social Aspects of Nineteenth-Century Medicine in the United States: The Formation of the American Medical Association and its Struggle with the Homeopathic and Eclectic Physicians.
Harris Coulter also served as director of publications for the American Foundation for Homeopathy, and for six years was on the editorial board of the Journal of the American Institute of Homeopathy. He was an advisory board member of the Campaign Against Fraudulent Medical Research.
This quote from his Divided Legacy Vol 3, will give you a sense of how he viewed the medical monopoly:
“Society today is paying a heavy price in disease and death for the monopoly granted the medical profession in the 1920’s. In fact, the situation peculiarly resembles that of the 1830s when physicians relied on bloodletting, mercurial medicines, and quinine, even though knowing them to be intrinsically harmful. And precisely the same arguments were made in defense of these medicines as are employed today, namely, that the benefits outweigh the risks. In truth, the benefits accrue to the physician, while the patient runs the risks.”
Harris Coulter was a champion of homeopathy and of the truth. We will all miss him.
In his significant career he has made contributions in many areas, including cancer, vaccinations, and shedding light on the conflict between the AMA and Homeopthy. His fluency in many languages (German, French, Spanish, Latin, Russian, Hungarian, and Serbo-Croatian) has helped him to communicate to a wide audience.

Hi! I like to know if the book of “Divided legacy” of Harris Coulter is edited (translated) in spanish, and if yoy know a site where I can by it in México, Latinamerica or USA.
Thank you.
I know for a fact that Coulter’s “Divided Legacy” was never translated into Spanish. You can get any of the four volumes from my site at http://www.homeopathic.com
A truly knowledgeable researcher who understand the world issues and cause and effect of modern dilemmas. May you be blessed always Harris. Your knowledge is your Power.
Let this information come to light. How many people knew the father of microbiology, the man who promoted the theory of germ warfare, actually understood that only through the use of ‘attenuated’ viruses could a vaccination be given safely.
The medical community did not understand or want to believe in the ‘minimum dose’ or allow homeopathy to flourish. Unfortunately, the great rift and war between Pasteur and Koch lead to harmful effects and, as Harris Coulter indicates, ‘violent behavior’ in those who are vaccinated.
Blessings to you Sue!
