Talk:Edward Bach

Pronunciation of Bach
The Bach Centre, who represent his estate and family, state that the correct pronunciation is BATCH, not like the German composer. Surely if his family beleive that is the correct pronunciation, then it is? Unfortunately I don't think they have a ref for this online though--ThePaintedOne (talk) 15:49, 3 June 2008 (UTC).

"I have been taught that Edward Bach pronounced his name 'Batch'? What is the correct pronunciation of his last name, and how does the Centre pronounce his name and the name of the remedies?

The family name 'Bach' was originally pronounced 'Baytch' (to rhyme with the letter 'h'). When Dr Bach was a medical student his fellow-students mispronounced his name as 'Batch', and the mistake stuck. He was known as 'Batch' throughout his medical career, and we still say 'Batch' at the Centre to this day." http://www.bachcentre.com/centre/faq.htm --Akosh (talk) 06:27, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Moving "plagiarized" material to Talk
This material was taken directly from skepdic.com. Bach claimed to have psychically or intuitively discovered the healing effects of 38 wildflowers. His discoveries were arrived at by "inspirations." For example, while on a walk he had an inspiration that dew drops on a plant heated by the sun would absorb healing properties from the plant. He claimed that all he needed to do was hold a flower or taste a petal and he could intuitively grasp its healing powers. From these intuitions he went on to prepare "essences" using pure water and plants. Bach claimed that these wildflowers have a soul or energy with an affinity to the human soul. The flower's spiritual energy is transferable to water. Devotees drink a homeopathic concoction of flower essence, mineral water and brandy in order to get the flower soul to harmonize their own soul's energy. Whoever added this to the article did include a reference (and thanks for that!), but we need a little more. Material from skepdic.com is copyright and we can't use it in Wikipedia except as short direct quotes with attribution. See Quote. -- 201.17.36.246 (talk) 00:07, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
