Today in many parts of the world, the great majority of health care practitioners who study homeopathy are unable to practice it successfully. Most abandon its practice after a few years. The goal of this course is provide an overview of the essential principles and practice of pure homeopathy. The orientation of this course is very practical as more than fifty percent of the course consists of taking live cases and conducting their follow-ups, and of studying paper cases. The materia medica fingerprints of 12 acute and 12 chronic remedies will also be presented. Current students of homeopathy will develop a strong foundation in homeopathic philosophy and method as practiced by Hahnemannians for more than two hundred years. Practitioners who have already been trained in homeopathy but are confused on how to practice it successfully will be pointed in the right direction and should have their enthusiasm renewed.
The course will be taught by André Saine, D.C., N.D., F.C.A.H. and Joseph Kellerstein, N.D., F.C.A.H. Both of these well-known teachers have practiced homeopathy for more than 25 years and will be bringing to this course a wealth of clinical experience.
