Sat. 07 December 2013 (Cut off date: 26 November 2013) Dr Jonathan Hardy “Homeopathy for Mania and Psychosis – Treating the Dark Side”
In this Masterclass we will see how effectively Homeopathy can treat states of madness.
We will study a number of cases of patients demonstrating how miasmatic theory and knowledge of remedy families helps in remedy selection. The cases will show how often patients in states of psychosis are suffering with a preoc- cupation with the "dark side" and how Homeopathic treatment can free them from this experience of the shadow. We will make close study of Materia Medica and the Repertory, particularly focussing on finding the most characteristic symptoms and rubrics in a case.
The cases will mostly be on video, edited for brevity and clarity.
GEMS day with Dr Julie Geraghty and Dr Liz Thompson
The October GEMS day studying Acid Remedies was very well attended and productive, and the group decided to continue to explore the Organic and Hydrocarbon remedies in December.
We will study the main clinical indications for these remedies, and continue to try to understand the chemistry of these complex molecules, and the homeopathic significance of the various moieties like benzene ring, carboxylics, alcohols etc.
Please select one of the remedies (full list available on request, to receive it please e-mail administrator at the address below) on which to prepare a 5-10 minute presentation either presenting a case and / or covering keynotes and main clinical picture. Also, where possible, include a diagram of the chemical structure of the molecule so we can identify the dif- ferent chemical moieties. Please when presenting your own case make sure there is at least 3 months of followup to maximise the learning value from the case. The main reference book is Roger Morrison's 'Carbon'.
