As you may know about me from my recent writings, I have a long history as a student of music. Aside from its recreational function, it is also possible to use music for therapeutic purposes. There is a formalized system of Music Therapy which is taught and practiced clinically, but I am thinking instead of [...]

The “homework” that I send patients home with, aside from the obvious recommendations for homeopathic remedies and dietary changes, can involve any number of specialized activities which have some purpose for moving their life forward. Various forms of recreational activities or participation in arts or cultural events can be included on this list, and taking up singing [...]

First dates can be full of so much anticipation, hope, and anxiety. It’s much the same the first time I work with a new patient. Most patients bring to me their sufferings, along with their hopes to find a cure for it. After the initial assessment, where I’ve learned as much about the patient’s health [...]

Another one of those “If I had a nickel…..” occurences with patients: When patients return for their follow up visit every 28 days, especially in the earlier phases of their treatment while they are still getting used to the new way of thinking about health that they learn with Heilkunst, we evaluate how they have [...]

I wrote yesterday about the central importance to health of activating one’s unique desire function. I also mentioned that this is a particularly big challenge for many patients who are either blocked from fully activating it, or often from even knowing what it is in the first place. In addition to the medical approach of [...]

“Initiation” by Allyson McQuinn 2011 As a child, I was first introduced into the world of art through finger paints by my kindergarten teacher. I still recall what it felt like to dip clean fingers into the cool jelly-like primaries and careen with colour across the slippery, shiny surface of the special finger paint paper. [...]

I wrote yesterday about the treatment of a broken arm, and the consequences of that for the patient. I want to introduce a new concept today, based on a different patient’s reaction to the treatment of her first time line event. This treatment involved addressing the recent birth of her daughter. It was a relatively straightforward [...]

At the conclusion of my clinical internship (which was the last component of my Heilkunst studies before graduating), my clinical partners and I were treating a case which I’ll always clearly remember in terms of the lessons that I learned from it. One month of this treatment, in particular, stands out in my memory. It [...]

One of my favourite genres in any medium is time travel. I was a teenager when Back to the Future was released, and relished every instalment in this trilogy. Who would have known that I would later become a professional time traveller? You didn’t know that was possible? Then I guess you haven’t yet experienced [...]
Posted in Healing, Inside The Consult Room, Materia Medica on Jan 7th, 2012
While I am preparing the patient’s homeopathic take home remedies, I often invite them to read through the description of the key remedy I will be giving them, and all of its disease characteristics. The “Homeopathic Materia Medica” is a compendium of all the homeopathic remedies that have been studied, and integrated into regular practice [...]
