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 [...]

Each unique disease contains its own unique state of mind as well as a unique feeling. When studying remedies, or explaining their essence to a patient, I like to relate a remedy to a commonly known piece of art (music, television show character, movie, etc.), which is a convenient shortcut for illustrating the state of [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]

For the past few years, I have been using the CoRe-Inergetix system with more and more of my patients, and am always amazed at how much clarity, depth, and speed of improvement it has contributed to my practice. The principles and map of medical Heilkunst are comprehensive, and invaluable for getting a patient from point [...]

I like this down-to-earth approach to changing habits, by taking on finite “30 day challenges”. Matt Cutts, who is the unoffical spokesperson for Google, illuminates some very useful points in this 3 minute video. One of the biggest challenges with patients is to get them to make a diet or lifestyle change which will inevitably [...]

The great truths of life are contained within all forms of art, including pop culture and television. Rather than taking them in as a mindless diversion to pass the time, well chosen entertainment can be a highly nutritious “food” for the mind. Whenever an aspect of Heilkunst, or even an expression of healthy life principles [...]

What’s it like to live with a Sulphur constitutional type? It’s certainly a question that comes up either directly or indirectly from patients all the time. The sulphur constitutional type (1 of 6 personality types which can be balanced by their corresponding homeopathic remedy) becomes the focus of so much attention due to the fact [...]
