Anthony Campbell (physician)
Anthony Campbell, M.D., is a retired physician, homeopath, acupuncturist and author.
He was a consultant physician at The Royal London Homeopathic Hospital until he retired in 1998,[1] and for many years was the editor of the British Homeopathic Journal (now Homeopathy), the journal of the Faculty of Homeopathy.[2]
Nonetheless, he is a skeptic about much of alternative medicine.[3] Although a Fellow of the Faculty of Homeopathy who advises that a great many patients have found benefit from homeopathy, Campbell considers that its claimed benefits may be due to the placebo response and other factors unconnected with the medicines themselves,[4] such as the consultation acting as a form of psychotherapy with a sympathetic listener.[5] He is regularly quoted in discussions of homeopathy as a practitioner and skeptic.
His books on acupuncture are recommended as appropriate reading material for newly trained members of The British Medical Acupuncture Society.[6]
