Dr. Hahnemann, in describing his method of diagnosis, referred to the “ambient” of the patient, as one of the factors to take into consideration. What does this refer to? First of all, we need to distinguish between a person’s “ambient”, and their “environment”. If you and I are sitting together in the same room, we [...]

The six genotypes which I have just completed examining in my recent blog series form the complete set of constitutional types which we find in people who are in a relative state of health. There are six additional constitutional types, called ‘phenotypes’, which may co-exist with a person’s natural constitution, and which represent the state [...]

The underlying message of this Ted Talk caught my eye, as it reflects the deeper understanding of human capacity understood by Heilkunst. Our usual exposure to daily media exposes us to endless messages of war, destruction, and a constant message that we are destroying the planet and our long-term prospect for survival.

As I’ve said in previous blogs, the third jurisdiction in Heilkunst (of Therapeutic Education) needs to be prepared for, in terms of the patient having passed through enough hurdles in the first two jurisdictions (Regimen and Medicine). Not only does the doctor need to be qualified, but so does the patient who wants or needs [...]
