Life Of A Great Homeopath, The Later Years Cynthia Rodier
Healing, Continued from page 18
This was a situation that was only going to get
intensify as time went on. He couldn’t imagine, he
said, running around making house calls at the age
of 85 to support his family. So, in 1953, he made a
dramatic change that provided him with greater security and reduce work responsibilities. He accepted
a position on the staff of the Brattleboro Retreat as a
staff physician.
The Retreat, founded in the 1830s as the first mental health hospital in the state, and one of the first
private mental health hospitals in the country, had a
patient population of 350. Sutherland tended to the
physical ailments for about 125 chronically ill men,
saw some patients in the out-patient department, and
ran an in-house clinic for retreat employees.
To a certain extent, he did prescribe homeopathic
remedies for his patients there, but also worked allopathically. For a number of years, Sutherland maintained a private practice in the evenings so he could
cater to the people who had doctored with him over
the years. But slowly, the hours reduced; and by the
time he turned 70, that too was terminated.
In spite of these changes, Sutherland’s involvement with homeopathy continued. Long deprived of
local colleagues, he had participated first in statewide
and later in national homeopathic organizations for
many years. As it always seemed to happen in any organization he joined, be it homeopathic or orthodox,
Sutherland rose to a leadership position.
He became a leading teacher at a course run annually by the American Foundation for Homeopathy,
and later, the National Center for Homeopathy. Compared to the now vanished four-year homeopathic
medical colleges of his youth, these courses were
modest offerings of six weeks. But they played a
crucial role in keeping alive the flame of homeopathy
during a very lean period that extended for nearly
three decades.
As the old homeopaths that trained in the early
20th century slowly disappeared, and awareness of
homeopathy in general receded, it was left to a small
community of adherents to maintain its continued
existence in this country from the 1940s thru the
60s. They were a mixture old timers like Sutherland
and younger physicians who had somehow come in
contact with homeopathy and recognized its value.
And there were an increasing number of laypersons
that felt a philosophical affinity to this effective but

gentle medical science.
As earlier parts of this series were published,
I received an e-mail from David Sutherland, the
younger son of Allan. I had heard that a son of his
still lived in the area, and was excited that he made
the effort to make contact and even suggest that we
get together.
Over a restaurant dinner with our spouses, he
shared memories of his father, showed me some pictures, and lent me copies of a journal that contained
articles penned by his father. An engaging and young
looking 70, David reminisced fondly about summer
spent in Millersville, PA where his father had brought
the family while he participated in teaching the homeopathy course.
In the recordings I listened to, Allan Sutherland
never expressed any enmity or malice toward the
orthodox medical profession per se, though he
clearly did not hold the American Medical Association – which had actively tried to crush homeopathy
and other non-orthodox practices – in high regard.
(Ironically, Sutherland expressed more disdain toward some of the lay homeopaths that he felt were
both under trained and overly idealistic about what
homeopathy could and couldn’t do.)
When I brought this up to his son, he replied
simply that his father was not a man who harbored
ill will. It wasn’t part of his nature. He further related
that in the last decade of his life, the years after the
recording was made, his father was sought out by
a new generation of students who gathered at the
family home to learn from him.
It must have been quite gratifying to recognize that
the lean years were coming to an end, that, in fact,
throughout the US there was a budding renaissance
in the homeopathic movement, and that he had been
one of those responsible for it.
