To expand on the idea that disease is not material, I’d like to further explain the idea of a true language for diagnosis. The usual diagnostic language which we’re used to is generally imported from the conventional approach to medicine, as enforced by the pharmaceutical industry. A “migraine”, or “Fibromyalgia”, for example are medical terms [...]

One of the most difficult concepts for people to wrap their heads around, is that the root or origin of disease is NOT material. Of all the concepts that Dr. Hahnemann laid down in his revolutionary system of Medical Heilkunst, this one gets right to the essence of what it is all about. Hand-in-hand with [...]

I wrote yesterday about the value of singing lessons in the de-armoring process, and included some of my own self-observations about the value that singing brings to my own health. Today I’d like to talk about another aspect of my personal history with music, and how it helps me with the diagnosis of the patient. [...]

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 [...]

The original architecture of medical Heilkunst and homeopathy was laid out in the various writings of Dr. Hahnemann, particularly in his most formal writing which was his Organon. This is a book which he revised through six editions in his lifetime, and which has been translated at various times into English since his death. Good [...]

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 [...]

I’m forever being asked if I have a remedy which can help with a given condition label (such as “Allergies”; “Acid Reflux”; “Migraines”; etc.). The answer is always “yes” and “no”. “Yes,” in the sense that the whole Heilkunst approach is built to remove all of the causes of a chronic illness. “No,” in the [...]

Readers of this website will already know that we regularly use homeopathic remedies as safe and effective immunising agents for all forms of pathogenic diseases (both childhood infections, and the diseases that travellers are prone to). Today I will introduce another aspect of immunisation which is not at all related to pathogenic disease — our [...]
