“A lot of what is published is incorrect.” I’m not allowed to say who made this remark because we were asked to observe Chatham House rules. We were also asked not to take photographs of slides. Those who worked for government agencies pleaded that their comments especially remain unquoted since the forthcoming UK election meant they were living in “purdah”—a chilling state where severe restrictions on freedom of speech are placed on anyone on the government’s payroll. Why the paranoid concern for secrecy and non-attribution? Because this symposium—on the reproducibility and reliability ..read more

I’m pretty good at acutes even if I say so myself. The occasional misprescription is fixed on the following medicine. I can manage the case through to completion. So. My better half has had a sore throat and cough these past 4 days. She still has it, only now it is worse.  Symptoms have progressed to include a right-sided earache. I could write all the symptoms here however I genuinely feel that I’ve noted all of them and balanced them out in both aetiology, severity and expression. I did ask 2 colleagues for their opinion and they both suggested remedies I had given and or considered. T ..read more

This is to ascertain the thinking of health concerns in general. If a patient is diagnosed with cancer and has lesions or a tumour internally, is it a good idea to remove the tumour surgically and treat the patient, or is it better homoeopathically to just treat the patient without surgical involvement? This question is asked to balance the viewpoint of homoeopathic professionals on both sides of the question and not to ‘legislate’ or mandate a course of action ..read more

Much as modern medicine tries, it can only treat disease as separate from a living organism. Homoeopathy treats disease as a deviation from the normal healthy condition that an organism enjoys. This is not at odds with recognising bacteria and viruses etc as a causative agent, but once contracted, it is the organism that is sick and the organism that produces the symptoms and the organism that needs healing. It has been my experience with some patients, a disease infection despite having been removed with antibiotics or antivirals, the patient can continue to be weakened or susceptible to fur ..read more

So what does understanding the case mean in real terms? Firstly, if a person is to take a case, they will have to follow the directions for doing so PRECISELY from Hahnemann’s writings. For those that have skipped learning from the ORGANON and Chronic DISEASES, I’m afraid you will have to take the time to investigate and understand the applied methodology. No modern teaching replaces the methodology required to ascertain what is required to cure the patient. There are 3 areas of investigation. Aphorism 5, Aphorism 6 and aph 153. A word about health. First, there is the constitutional makeup o ..read more

▲  Thoughts……  I was in the company of a homoepathic colleague several years ago. He expressed the wish that all allopathic surgeries were taken over by homoeopaths. Sadly, I could not agree with him. This cannot and SHOULD not happen. The truth is that a lot, if not the majority of homoeopaths are not sufficiently trained to practice and prescribe quickly on Hahnemannian principles for the benefit of the patients. Also, we as a profession need to re-establish our credentials by having central training, especially for those without knowledge of anatomy and physiology, disease processes ..read more

By Dr. Guillermo Zamora. M.D.,I.H.M. D.hom med (Lic) At this analysis I would like to establish fundamental differences between Hahnemann´s homeopathy and the different thinking in the world. Fundamental differences between Hahnemann and: A. Leon Vannier B. James Tyler Kent C. Eilhelm Heinrich Schüssler D. Francisco Xavier Eisayaga E. Bernard Poitevin F. G Vithoulkas G. Proceso Sanchez Ortega H. Tarsicio Escalante Plancarte I. Hebert A. Roberts J. N. Ghatak I am going to start with Leon Vannier (1880-1963) The first difference that I would like to quote is about the laws, while Hahnemann use ..read more

The rationale for success in Homoeopathy. After 10 years in homoeopathic practice, I realised (and accepted) that my ability to help the majority of patients using homoeopathy was impaired. In facing this truth, accompanied by clinic statistics, I looked for where the problem lay. My choices were: I was not a good homoeopath. Homoeopathy did not work. My approach and understanding of the application of the therapy were wrong. I stopped practice for a while and conducted intense research through the pages of Hahnemann, Kent, Boenninghausen, and a lot of other contemporary writers of the time ..read more
