The Bowel Nosodes are a series of homeopathic remedies made from human intestinal flora, developed first by Dr. Edward Bach and continued by John Patterson and his wife, Elizabeth from 1920 until 1960. These remedies were used chiefly in British Homeopathic practice but after some years of neglect they are gaining more favour, especially now with the issues of allergies and antibiotic damage prevalent in today’s patients. Their field of action is much broader than their name suggests. The methodology of using the bowel nosodes is illustrated with nine case histories from the human world and ten from the animal, demon strating the common guidelines that are applicable to all species. The second edition contains new cases and an extra chapter offering readers an even greater insight into this fascinating area of homeopathic practices.

John Paterson (18901954) was an orthodox Physician who converted to homeopathy. He was a Microbiologist, who was married to Elizabeth Paterson, also a Microbiologist. They both worked at the Glasgow Homeopathic Hospital and at the Royal London Homeopathic Hospital. He was President of International Homeopathic Medical League in 1939. He rightly understood that bowel bacteria were scavengers of disease, and so could be of use in homeopathy. John Paterson lived at time when ‘cross pollenation’ between homeopaths and allopaths was possible and both homeopaths and allopaths were industriously researching pathology and bacteriology at this time.
