I was impressed with Rudi Vespoor's article Part 9: Direction of
Cure in the Feb. issue of Homeopathy4everyone.
It may be the first time, in the recent past that authentic and
well supported arguments from the Organon as expression of Hahnemann's
observations in the direction of cure, have been lucidly explained.
The recent debate over Hering's Law's of Cure has, unfortunately,
eroded the confidence homeopathic practitioners should have had
in its wisdom. This is sad because so many practitioners will not
rely on a blueprint for cure, and instead ambiguously base their
analysis on empirical observations that are not binding in the direction
of cure. What they term as "cure" is simply palliation,
suppression or a feeling of well being. One senior practitioner
stated, "if some serious pathological condition in a deeper
organ occurs many years after my treatment, why should it mean any
suppression on my part? It may have happened anyway!"
Hence senior homeopaths abstain from any responsibility
to deteriorating health of their patients without acknowledging
that their "homeopathic" treatment has helped the progression
of disease contrary to Hering's Direction of Cure.
I am heartened that there is now, one more good article on Hering's
and Kent's side of the fence, the side that I and most homeopathic
medical colleagues support. I look forward more articles written,
so that the debate is now fueled positively. These articles need
further substantiation by authentic and well documented clinical
cases.
This also needs to be balanced by other cases that did not follow
Hering's Law of Direction of Cure, seeking explanations and reasons.
There ARE good reasons why this happens and we need not be afraid
to find them out. The next step forward will be investigating and
analyzing these cases not only from remedy choice aspects, but from
philosophical perspectives rooted in sound homeopathic philosophy.

It is my pleasure going through your ezine about Homeopathy, I
got interested in it through a friend of mine in Sri Lanka, he is
an old man but always writing or reading something, and a very peaceful
and kind person, his name is Dr. Kulawardane, Gem of a person who
helps the poor and treats them without any charges.
My grievance is that even though a major percentage of people in
USA is affected with MS I do not find any detailed or even normal
mention of it in your ezine, only once I read it in the general
section. If you can give a detailed coverage of
MS it might give lot of people hope and they might try Homeopathy
as a treatment procedure.
Keep up the good work.
Best wishes

I found the following papers really interesting: "http://www.hpathy.com/papersnew/degroote-energetic-examinati
on.asp" The Energetic Examination in Homeopathy - Dr. Filip
Degroote: very interesting, although not so easily applicable without
acupuncture and WP knowledge
"http://www.hpathy.com/papersnew/schmukler-tips-10.asp"Tips
and Secrets - 10 - Alan Schmukler: some very good tips in there
"http://www.hpathy.com/papersnew/chaukkar-codependency.asp"
Co-dependency - Dr. Samir Chaukkar: thought provoking article: I
could imagine that everybody of us can find some of the symptoms
in oneself. Excellent the how homoeopathy can help the symptoms
of co-dependency.
I would like the articles to be in a better printable version: bigger
writing and leave the adds to one side so they are not on the forms
printed out.
I am glad I have subscribed for Hpathy!
Ursula Edwards
----------------------------------------
Just want to say Thank you to Mati Fuller for her brilliant articles.
Have just read 'beyond the veil of delusions' and enjoyed it very
much. It is quite rare to find a homoeopathy book that I can read
cover to cover in one sitting, though of course I know I will find
revisiting it at a more leisurely pace rewarding. More please!
Maurice Haigh
----------------------------------------
Thank you again for a wonderful ezine, one which I never fail to
enjoy. However, there is one issue that pops up from time to time
in homoeopathic discussions that never fails to make me really quite
angry. There are still many homoeopaths that maintain that homoeopathy
can do only good and never harm, and does not cause
side-effects. I find this incredible. As someone who is hypersensitive
to remedies, and prone to proving a remedy on what seems to be a
permanent basis, and who has suffered at the wrong end of suppressive
remedies this makes me very cross. I have massive respect for homoeopathy
and have experienced and witnessed it's almost miraculous healing
effects. However, I have also seen and lived with the flip-side.
Since homoeopathy is so incredibly powerful it makes no sense to
also view it as harmless. So, to read in the interview with George
Vithoulkas the statement, " If you had to choose between a
form of medical treatment which restores your health without any
side effects, and another form of treatment that may treat certain
states but that often negatively affects or even disturbs some other
part of your organism, which of the two methods would you chose?
You would certainly choose the first method." sadly diminishes
my respect for what he has to say.
Jeremy Sherr's comment, "I know of many cases that were 'zig
zagged' for years and came to me with drug symptoms mixed with those
of their original complaints." strikes me as a lot more realistic.
This is not meant to be a personal dig at Mr Vithoulkas by any means,
I'm afraid he was just the latest person to mention this issue in
this way. However, I think this is something that needs discussing
in the world of homoeopathy. I personally would have little faith
in being treated by a homoeopath who professed that homoeopathy
never causes harm!

Jeremy Sherr's observation re similimum is absolutely correct and
very relevant in treating patients. All homeo physicians should
always keep this in their minds and practice,,,,,

I am pleased with the amount of information available to anyone
from your site.
I would like to be able to read more about the homeopaths interviewed
ie. George Vitulkas or am I missing something?
It is a site I would recommend to others also.
Thanks for all your work.

I just now finished reading all the articles under the October
issue of Hpathy and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I looked forward to
reading all the future issues. :)

It was brilliant to listen to Edward Whitmont - ( I've only heard
the first lecture so far ) thank you thank you - he is one of my
gurus and interestingly he talks about quackery !! in his introduction
- so it does reflect the ongoing assault we have had to endure since
Hahnemanns time - my question is why do the seemingly "establishment"
type figures in the UK need to do it?
As well as being about your fantastic ezine, this email is also
about the future of homeopathy in the UK - Can you refer to the
letter below my email on your site - the BBC has removed all reference
to complementary or alternative medicine from their web site -
Thank you for uniting us globally and your passion and persistence
to keep this going -

Dear Sir,
a very enlightening interview by great Dr. George Vithoulas encompassing
many things.
"Codependency" for me at least a new subject came up
with lot of basic information
thanks a lot

Hi to all friends at hpathy ezine
just re-reading my January edition, thanks for another zowee issue.
My only problem is finding time to read it all.
I congratulate you on the birth of Homeopathy Worldwide, and only
question this request:
"We invite all the leading homeopaths, scientists, heads of
all homeopathic organizations, heads of all homeopathic companies
and directors/principals of all homeopathic schools/colleges to
come forward and support Homeopathy Worldwide." Why not "all
homeopaths"?
Miranda Castro's interview is a gem, I have forwarded it to several
friends. Her documentation of case results is an example to us all.
I love her because she is down-to-earth and always keeps to the
point.
thanks again
Helen Swan RSHom
-------------------------------------
In response to Rudi Verspoor's article:
This is indeed an important subject of which different interpretations
causes differences between homeopaths and schools.
One thing I would have liked to come out more clear in the article
is the difference between a cure that happens naturally and a cure
that follows a homeopathic prescription. There still appears some
confusion between the natural tendency of symptoms to disappear
from inward to outward and above to downward and the reaction to
a homeopathic prescription where there may/should be a reversal
of appearance of symptoms can take place. In the latter, is it allowed
for new symptoms to appear when they follow the outward and downward
evolution of 'the disease/cure'?
Al too often one hears homeopaths say that the appearance of an
eruption is the sign of an improvement of the patient. What if the
patient never suffered with this eruption and what if this eruption
is not well tolerated by the patient?
Another subject that comes in the same category is the aggravation
after taking a remedy.

hi folks
reading G. Vithoulkas reminds me of my first homeopathic studies,
20 years ago, when we avidly devoured 'the Science of Homeopathy'
and 'Homeopathy Medicine of the New Man' and others. His high standards
have always been inspirational. I was also especially intrigued
by David Johnson's analysis of the Nitricums.
Helen Swan RSHom
-------------------------------------
Yes it is quite informative. I will appreciate if some eyes related
topics are covered.. As I have hardly seen any for the same. If
you people have something please send me a link. I have been suffering
from CNVM in Left eye for 8 Years and I have tried all types of
medicines. I want to preserve at least my Right eye.
Regards
Subodh
---------------------------------------------------
Wonderful ezine- accessible and interesting...the links at the
end of the Vithoulkas interview are not working fyi. But thank you
for this great effort...as a student it is an invaluable resource,
and a sense of community.
Many thanks
Susanne
-------------------------------------
Now I have read this interview with full interest. GV has given
perfect answers to the queries put before him. I am convinced that
every one interested in Homeopathy should read it. It is also very
useful for practicing Homeopaths.
Thanks for reminding me to ready this interview and give me comments.

-------------------------------------------
(sorry for my weak english). I have greatly,as usual, appreciated
this last Hpathy feb. issue. Thanks to all contributors. I want
to share some reflections following my lecture of the Jeremy Sherr
replies. As he explain, sustained by Hahnemann and Kent citations,
the "only one and everlasting similimum" for each case
is a misconception or an ideal (utopia?) to tend or to dream of
but it is unrealizable. By the time we can prove 7 billions similimums,
(one for each human now living), we will surely need much more billions
remedies for our followers on earth, without speaking of animals.
The fact that so many people were and are cured by the same remedies
is a proof that we must precise our idea of what is (one or more)
true similimum.
Our teachers, while speaking of the perfect similimum, were wise
enough to introduce us to some practicals notions to work with.
Among those, the idea of a similimum for a set time which can be
followed by another when the picture change.The concept of layers
to be successively erased by the correctly here and now selected
similimum is a derivation or a variant of this idea. But we must
recognize that sometime we use these concept to hide (consciously
or not) (to ourselves and to our patients) our difficulty to find
a remedy which promptly and profoundly help our patients. From layer
to layer, (following or not Herring's laws it is another story)
we gain time and keep hope to cure really. Too often our "layers"
were selected on un correct criterion, superficials perceptions
or rubrics being externals expressions instead of genuinely energetic
reflection (or similimum) of our patient deep disorder. Sometimes
these remedies act partially, sometimes not, we zigzag in confusion
so many times...Some partials result allow us to continue without
knowing really why it work only a little and not " in a rapid,
gentle and permanent restoration of health...according to clearly
realizable principles"(#2).
Nevertheless cure happen! It is a chance that we don't need the
one. only. absolute and eternal similimum! But how can we increase
our certitude to reach a similar enough similimum to cure and not
only palliate (or at worst suppress )our cases? In which territory
must we search? Where are hidden the one, two, three (or more?)
sufficiently similimum we and our patient hope for? How. in Hahnemann's
words: can we perceived and match "what is curative in our
remedies " which" what is to be cured in diseases, that
is to say, in every individual case of disease?" What is curative
and what is to be cured is the energetic pattern, not the pathology
, not the laterality or time of aggravation, not the emotive reaction,
not the intellectual theory about the disease, not the delirium,
dream or delusion . Chasing these (the expressions but not the central
disorder ) we are lost without compass and we cure by chance due
to the fact that the expressions lead us sometime to the core and
also because many similimum are available. But if we focus on the
deep power in remedies, (their energetics patterns) and if we look
for the same in patients we increase our probality to find the group
of similimums among which many can act in a positive way. What unite
these similimums in group are naturals laws. Kingdoms in plants,
species and sub-species in animals, atomic configuration in minerals.
We owe to Sholten, Sankaran and others the maps to follow in our
quest. Their work until now show clearly that scientifics classification
of elements, plants and animals group also their hidden therapeutic
powers. For example, (see Sankaran's books), two plants within the
same family and same miasm are similimum enough to give appreciable
result. We can think, in this perspective, that for examplein plants
we don't need to prove each of the thousands living on earth. The
same with animals and minerals. A sufficient number could be enough
to cover the human energetic kaleidoscope. Which number? The homeopathic
human genome is still to complete. But, for sure. we must focus
on energetics patterns (Vital Sensation) on us and in nature to
reach our "sole and only calling: make the sick healthy. to
cure.as it is called."
I want also to salute the new Homeopathy Worldwide project. Thank
you.
Mario Guilbault.

As a student of homeopathy, I enjoy your emails and they are a regular
source of information for me.
Thanks

-------------------------------------
The interview was totally inspiring to me. I immediately signed
up for an online course.
Cheryl Reiff
-------------------------------------
I have sometimes in the past expressed my opinion on various subjects
in homeopathy and my expressed my support for Vithoulkas. But I
have never had any acknowledgement or mention by you. May be they
were not to your liking.
Since you have again written requesting my comments on Vithoulkas
interview, I think he is absolutely right but inapplicable in countries
like India where I have my second home for the last five years -
except perhaps for very affluent upper middle class patients.
There is simply no time to work out the vibrating personal remedies
for most of the average earning patents. Even when time was often
spent as in my own case, it has failed.
Al the homeopaths I have consulted, use two or three remedies in
high potencies like 30, 200 and 1M.
I have suffered from clinical depression for decades. But all highly
places homeopaths have singularly failed whereas my psychiatrist
finally made a breakthrough to 75%. The same applies to sleep problem
with homeopathic treatment. I have yet to see a single case that
has worked.
I think making claims that cannot be sustained does a great harm
to homeopathy. I believe that some homeopathic treatment works.
But more often, it does not. I find that many of complex homeopathic
remedies like Heel's and Dr. Reckeweg's work within hours or even
less like R.4, R 37 in particular. There is simply no time to find
out the right remedy that vibrates or have at least some resonance.
When one has acute colicky pain, one can't wait for days for the
probable medicine to work - if at all.
I have studied homeopathy, not like students in India of course.
But enough to know what I am talking about.
I also know that this letter would be ignored like the last. I
am going away to my home in London for three moths from the end
of this month.

Dear Editor, you asked for feedback - well my experience is that
Homeopathy 4 Everyone is THE essential reading, a vital link with
homeopaths throughout the world, and excellent learning through
other's knowledge and experience. I especially value the fact that
we get a varied approach from different homeopaths which I think
is invaluable. Learning is much enhanced by this, the stimulation
of different philosophical approaches. I can't really praise it
enough.Brillinat articles and latest input from the influential
homeopathic individuals like Geaorge Vithoulkas and jeremy Sherr.
I also appreciate the atmosphere generated- generous, thoughtful,
inclusive and genuinely concerned with forwarding everyone's progress
to greater understanding not just of homeopathy but life.
Continuing professional development that is enjoyable, thought provoking
and most of all supportive.
many many thanks

hi,
good morning
no sending the feedback,but i m telling u ,your work is master work
so, ple, continue to give response.
thanks. Jilesh
------------------------------------------
I agree with Jeremy Sherr about there is not only one simillium
for the case but if we could find the right directly it is good.
Today there are so many medicines into the body and it gives shadows
to the case.Today I found an article in our daily newspaper about
medicines. It says "we" only trust expensive medicines
and if they are colored it is more trust!!!!!!!! You see when I
give homeopathic medicine to my patient and it works they often
replay - could it be this small
pills????????? Funny isn´t it? / Gun
-----------------------------------------
As a student of homeopathy that has come to respect this wonderful
healing art later in life, I am inspired and excited by your emagazine
and it continues to play a very important role in my learning and
education. Thank you so much for providing this information freely
to students, professionals and the interested community. Each month,
the interviews spark yet another trigger to move me to pursue the
subject with passion and commitment.
George Vithoulkas' interview was captivating, but oh to have him
around for dinner and hang off every word for an hour or two or
more.........
Thank you so much for your efforts in opening up homoeopathy to
everyone!

I enjoy reading all of the information in the on line magazine,
I don't feel any dissatisfaction with it at all. I haven't sent
any feedback as requested because at the moment I am finishing my

more essays to do before end of March- your information has been
of value to me in many ways -if you have any info on erectile dysfunction
-my dissertation topic I would be very grateful.

I particularly enjoyed the article on co-dependency for a variety
of reasons. The article consolidated my learning and dovetailed
it nicely to homeopathic remedies- thus very useful in the clinic
and to give to patients to read themselves.
Thank you very much.

Dear Dr. Manish Bhatia
How are you, I am Dr S Abid Ali Zaidi from Rawalpindi Pakistan.
Your web site is very good, especially Aphorism in you sound are
excellent
Different Doctors, Colleges, Organizations arrange workshops for
one week or more, as Allen College of Homoeopathy England, Life
Source Mumbai India,
Actually we can’t afford to attend these work shops due to
financial problems, How would we pay 600 Pounds for one week workshop,
tickets and other expenses?
Actually I am doing job in morning for running my kitchen and in
evening doing clinic which is not established yet and local community
cant afford, and clinic is running no lose and no profit basis.
I have a request that if Audio, Video, Presentation type Lecture
can available it will be very help full for us. Especially those
persons who can’t attend the workshops .I think its cheep
and effective for luring more and more.
May you realize that what would I am trying to saying.
I love homoeopathy and trying to become a good homoeopath. Homoeopathy
is blessing for mankind.
Regards,
Dr Syed Abid Ali Zaidi

Dear Editor,
We all know that History is HIS story. Could Hahnemann have accomplished
his greatest work - in the end - without his wife? He said she was
the greatest Homoepath he knew.
Could Kent have written his famous Repertory without his wife?
I wonder what her story is?
Maybe an article on the Great Women behind the men would be of
great interest, after all, most of us who study and practice Homeopathy
are women. Please consider researching HER Story.
Also, thank you for your online newsletter - I feel wonderfully
connected and inspired.

As far as i am concerned every edition of this magazine has been
a great help to me.....i have been reading many magazines on homeopathy
since i joined this course 6 yrs back.now i have completed my course
and is having my own practice.from my experience i am sure this
is a different kind of magazine and can be said as one of the best.
i hope that u could continue this venture and try to make it more
informative day by day...thank u for such agood magazine...all the
best for the future.....
