Jost Künzli from Fimmelsberg

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jost Künzli von Fimmelsberg (born October 10, 1915 in St. Gallen ; † April 5, 1992 ibid) was a Swiss gynecologist and homeopath .

Life

Jost Künzli von Fimmelsberg studied in Zurich, Bern, Kiel and Paris. 1943 doctorate he attended the University of Zurich on the topic About periartheriitis probably tuberculous etiology .

From 1941 to 1945 he worked at Inselspital in Bern , most recently as a senior physician. With Pierre Schmidt, to whom he came in 1946, he got to know homeopathy, which was shaped by James Tyler Kent , and helped him with the translation of Hahnemann's Organon der Heilkunst into French. In 1947 he settled in St. Gallen.

From 1957 to 1973 he was co-editor of the journal for classical homeopathy and medicinal potentiation (Haug publishing house, Ulm). He taught in St. Gallen, later in Frankfurt and in the 1970s and 1980s on the island of Spiekeroog , where annual courses in homeopathy were held from 1973 to 1986.

The grandfather Jacob Theodor Künzli and the father Max Künzli were also homeopathic doctors.

Act

Like Pierre Schmidt, Künzli was also a convinced user of the Q-potencies in homeopathy, and the treatment with these experienced a revival through him. In German-speaking countries, he introduced both " repertorising " according to Kent and its anamnesis questionnaire . Schmidt and Künzli also made their so-called "antipsoric remedies" themselves. In 1947 they started with drugs based on sulfur .

Initially together with Pierre Schmidt, he dealt intensively with paragraph 270 of the 6th edition of the Organon and published an article about it in the journal for classical homeopathy in 1960 , in which he described in detail the production of Q-potencies. Twenty years later, the use of Q-potencies had established itself among homeopaths across Europe.

Jost Künzli is closely connected with the development of homeopathy in German-speaking countries. His editing and translation of the revision course by James Tyler Kent is widespread among homeopaths. His students in Germany included M. Barthelt, O. Eigenlebiger, K.-H. Plasterer, C. Just and M. v. Ungern-Sternberg and Adolf Voegeli in Switzerland.

In some repertories, the so-called "Künzli points" are given as an indication of how effective the respective remedy has been shown both in drug testing and when used in healthy test subjects. The aim is to narrow down the choice of drug for the user and thus make it easier. A working group of Swiss homeopaths sifts through Künzli's writings and case studies.
