difficult road of homeopathic training, a road which likely ends in a less well renumerated life than was the case when well-funded by such as vaccine, pet food, and antibiotic sales?
5 He further proposed a tighter control of those who teach on courses. This would be, in my view, a potentially dangerous path to take. There has to be some vetting of teachers and courses, that is clear, and this role has been taken, in the case of medically/ veterinary qualified practitioners, by the Faculty of Homeopathy for some time, but to limit the courses to one doctrine, that of advanced classical homeopathy, would be to restrict the spread of homeopathy in the clinical world, and reduce the opportunities available for the dissemination of this information. The task of those involved in homeopathic education, as is the case with education in general, is to whet the appetite of the student to investigate the subject for him- /herself; to read wider of his/her own volition; to meditate on the deeper understanding of the homeopathic art; and to inspire the urge to assimilate further knowledge beyond that which has been directly taught. No advance has ever been made purely by following another person’s ideas.
a life of chronic disease, drug side-effects, and drainage of their bank accounts far outweighs this number.
There is absolutely no comparison between the supposed potential for homeopathic side-effects and the huge damage so many conventional medicines can inflict, and to suggest that such a comparison is appropriate is greatly misleading, in my opinion.
George Vithoulkas has been a great inspiration to generations of homeopaths, and his clinical expertise speaks for itself; I admire him greatly. I fear, however, that his outspoken opinions could do great damage to the future of homeopathy, a future which is ever more reliant on the unity of purpose, and the combined efforts of everyone who, following in the steps of Hahnemann, are driven by the desire to cure in the deepest sense. Let us strive onwards free of fear, driven by the desire to return our patients to an optimally healed state.

So, I say to anyone who is considering embarking on this exciting and rewarding journey.....TAKE NO NOTICE!! How many of those patients of mine who never came back did not do so because they did not improve I do not know, and what percentage of those were spoiled cases thereafter can also not be known, but what is for absolutely sure is that the number who were rescued from
