You may have noticed that as we have continued our exploration into the third realm of medical Heilkunst, namely “therapeutic education”, that it’s a much more extensive realm of study than the first two realms combined.

We continue our journey into the third jurisdiction of Heilkunst (“Therapeutic Education”), with another key consideration : the level of health of the practitioner.

I recently wrote about the little girl who was obsessed with the thought of being arrested and put in jail, and how this wasn’t getting any better until I figured out that I was using the wrong remedy for her state of mind (I was using Lachesis which is related to guilt in the sense [...]
