Homeopathy

After almost 40 years of intensively practicing, studying and teaching homeopathy, many questions remain unanswered, much to my frustration, I must admit. It seems that every homeopath has a theory that he or she is at peace with and can work with. I haven’t been able to do this yet; a gnawing unsatisfied feeling makes …

What resonates with what and how does that heal?The theory says that the remedy we give must be similar to the state of the patient. In provings we try to figure out what the state of the remedy is and call that a remedy picture. We could say the state of the patient is the …

When I wrote “Homeopathy is Everywhere” some 10 years ago, I didn’t fully realize myself how true this is.The Law of Similars (e.g. like cures like or let likes be cured by likes)  is one of the pillars of homeopathy. Isn’t that a bit of an unusual foundation to build a whole healing system upon? …

A good image to illustrate how ‘close’ a remedy should be is the Mandelbrot set or the idea of fractals. One of the monsters of mathematics was that one cannot really measure, for example the coastline of the UK. It depends on the yardstick one uses. With long yardsticks one can measure the general outlines …

Progress with a downside. A few years ago, I started the project, or should I say the mission, to simplify homeopathy.Most of the homeopaths and especially the homeopathic teachers met their ever-growing catalogue of remedies with an equally increasing feeling of confusion and disheartening.As we applauded the new systems of analysing cases, we realised at …

To pick up the thread where we left it last year: During the almost 30 years I plunged into homeopathy I’ve seen it developing both in the what I call the Grammar (the system) and the Vocabulary (the MM) at an enormous speed and momentum. How utterly simple homeopathy seemed in our beginning days when …

 While everybody is still asking what is going on it seems like, in the midst of the hypnosis and hysteria the first and fundamental question is forgotten. This question is: do viruses cause diseases? Do Bacteria or other ‘pathogens’ cause diseases? As natural healers we know they don’t; it is the false premise that benefit …

As ‘normal’ life came to a halt with a screech, everybody tries to hold on to some explanation of what is going on. Homeopaths make no exception: everybody hurries to present a theory and a solution, mostly in the form of a list of indicated remedies. And as usual in our community, there are as …

 With this quote of the recently deceased Ram Dass, I’d like to wish everybody a joyful and fruitful 2020 and may all your wishes come true. We wrote about the fact that a homeopathic remedy basically is a medium carrying information; the question remains what information exactly and what does it bring about.  I think …

Often I read: ‘this remedy is good for infertility, autism, ADHD, Alzheimer, Lyme’s disease, etc.’ and then I ask myself: are we not to prescribe for the person rather then for the disease? Or, rephrasing: isn’t the first question we should ask ourselves: is this a remedy for the person or for the disease? One …
