Dr. Oz recommending homeopathy for treating headaches in O Magazine

Posted by luminoshpath on October 21, 2009

In the November 2009 issue of O (The Oprah Magazine), Dr. Oz analysis four approaches to treating headaches: Neurology, Acupuncture, Nutrition and HOMEOPATHY!  Dana Ullman is quoted in the section on homeopathy-Dana has been really active promoting homeopathy in the US media, Huffington Post Online as well.

Under MY RECOMMENDATION Dr. Oz  says: “Acupuncture and homeopathy are worth considering as adjunct therapies once you are sure that the headache is not a sign of serious disorder.”

Wonderful to see homeopathy promoted in this way. Many thanks to Dana for all his dedicated and thoughtful work!

Internet Based Back Up

Posted by luminoshpath on October 16, 2009

As you all know, I’ve been always been into computers, but in a practical way. We’ve become very computer-based in homeopathy and as a result, problems can arise. I’ve heard so many times from students, “I wish I would have backed up my computer- the hard drive is fried and none of my notes etc. are retrievable.” Also, even though you back up to a home or office based hard drive it can be taken or lost.

For many many years I have been using an online service. The one I have been using is quite expensive and  it was only for Macintosh. For the last few days I have been trying out a great new service and it is working very well. It seems very reliable and easy to use.

Not only that it works for either Mac or Windows based computers and it is quite inexpensive! The information you send is encrypted- so quite secure.

You can actually try it out for free although I would recommend going ahead with the larger space and back up your whole computer.

Use this link, sign up  and try it out or directly purchase.

Pros: Inexpensive, large amount of off-site disk space available, encryption, ease of use. Fast upload.

Cons: New company and lacks a proven track record for longevity. The software takes getting used to.

Nobel Prize Winner Implementing Homeopathy Experiments

Posted by luminoshpath on October 14, 2009

From the blog homeopathyresource.wordpress.com:

Professor Luc Montagnier is a French virologist and joint recipient  of the 2008 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his co-discovery of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).

He and  his team of researchers have been doing rigorous experiments using homeopathically prepared biological substances. They have conclusively shown that homeopathically prepared biological substances give off electromagnetic waves that are similar to the crude biological substance.

A Wonderful Time in Ikaria and Where To Next?

Posted by luminoshpath on October 13, 2009

Armenistis on the Island of Ikaria, GreeceThe Ikaria, Greece seminar this last summer was a wonderful experience. With just the right number of people it was very relaxing with a wonderful location. The twisting road to the town of Armenistis was a bit daunting but then the beauty of the town and location as well as superb beaches was well worth it.

It was a  fast paced seminar with lots of information. We learned together, had some meals together, danced and sang together. Homeopaths from all over the world attended- Greece, England, Austria, Germany, other parts of Europe, Japan, Canada, United States, Israel, South Africa, Australia and many other countries! Thanks to all who attended and a special thanks to Hilary Hampel for her dedicated organizational skills.

Carol Jones is a homeopath from Toronto, Canada. She writes the following report:

A homeopathic seminar on Ikaria, a Greek island? I had to go. It would be the cancelled trip I was to take thirty-five years ago.  It would be a chance to combine two things I love, Greece and a  seminar with Lou. Athens was everything I imagined it would be given my love of archeology and mythology. Visiting the sites where philosophers Aristotle (“ plants have a soul”) and Theophrastus (plant use and classification) wrote and taught was magical.  Their influence on my understandings and perspectives of  homeopathy have been incredibly inspiring. A day trip to the Oracle at Delphi left me with even a deeper connection to the wonderful ancient energy there. What perfect energy for a homeopathic seminar!
Going to Ikaria felt like going back in time; the smell of herbs and plants as we landed at the airport, bee hives and goats everywhere,  simple, delicious food and warm people. It was the perfect setting for Lou’s seminar! The wonderfully diverse seminar participants from all over the world  brought great perspectives and experiences.  Lou’s material was new and challenging and you could see participants’ positive reactions to Lou’s path-breaking information on nosodes and miasms.
Hilary’s organization of  the seminar reflected her love of  Ikaria and it enhanced my experience greatly.  Live music in the harbour at night, honey balls and sage tea in the mountains, salt water swimming, long lunch conversations, (very) early morning walks—all added to create a perfect environment for reflection and  inspiration.  I wouldn’t hesitate to go back, Ikaria and Lou made a perfect combination.

Compelling Reasons to Attend the Homeopathic Master Clinician Course Starting In Vancouver

Posted by luminoshpath on October 7, 2009

A new Homeopathic Master Clinician Course starts in beautiful Vancouver in December of 2009. It is a three time per year course intended to help homeopaths develop clinical skills. With over 30 years experience and in continuous practice, Louis Klein teaches the course. The course has been in existence for over 15  years and has evolved into a dynamic and comprehensive program.  Over 500 practitioners have attended the course.

Louis Klein: ” The course started after I was busy lecturing at various homeopathic colleges and institutes around the world. I could see that giving a weekend seminar, although beneficial, did not allow me the opportunity to help get a homeopath from that place of doubt and confusion to one of clarity and accuracy. So I developed this course and each year it gets upgraded and refined. I go through every area of the materia medica, the basics and much advanced and cutting edge techniques. It is geared towards those who have just graduated and also homeopaths with many years of experience.”

Each weekend has a materia medica and practical philosophy theme. A weekend can include for example, snake venom remedies along with related remedies in other kingdoms. Or it may be a weekend on certain plant families or a comprensive view of the periodic table. The unique twist is that unusual remedies will be discussed and cases shown that will give you not only a whole new range of materia medica to select from but also a better grasp of the family or group being discussed.

The weekend may also include one or two live cases, (follow-up is maintained throughout the course) as well as video and paper cases. Practical philosophy and case taking, case analysis techniques, follow up evaluation are discussed and each case is carefully gone over. As a result, you will have seen hundreds of improved cases by the end of the course.

A new course is starting in beautiful Vancouver in December of this year. We have a location that is in the heart of the city and one that is easily accessible and inexpensive to stay at.

Past participants almost uniformly state something like this:

I use information and insights from my old notes every single day with my patients.

“The lectures are always easily understandable, entertaining and informative. I go away from the weekend session enthusiastic, excited and refreshed.”

The course  is immediately applicable and your knowledge and perceptive abilities grows with each session.

Here are some compelling reasons for taking the course from graduates themselves. Some had years of experience and some were brand new homeopaths.

“Whenever I review my notes from the course, I find myself underlining every sentence for its profundity. Case taking and videos exemplify the best prescribing I have seen. This course truly lives up to its name. I consider it essential for anyone aspiring to mastery in homeopathic practice.” Bill Gray, M.D., Classical Homeopath for over 40 years

“Almost everyday I make a prescription based on what I have learned from you.” - Shahram Ayoubzadeh, M.D., N.D.

“I cannot find words enough to thank Lou Klein for the profound effect his teaching has had on my skills and confidence. Before the HMC course, I used to take reams of copious notes to the point where I completely lost sight of the case, and would repertorise madly while my panic level rose. As a result of Lou’s approach to focussing on the disposition, and his exploration of remedy themes and families, my case-taking and analysis are far more effective, and my selection of remedies more confident. Lou’s insights into remedies have been invaluable in broadening my understanding of them, and providing me with a far wider range to draw from. His analysis of the direction of cure has helped me better evaluate my prescribing. Lou is one of the most generous teachers I have ever come across.”
- HMC Graduate (2005) Fran Cudlipp BA, LLB, DSHomMed

“One of my colleague homeopaths recommended Lou’s course several years ago, and the only thing I regret is that I did not take HMC course earlier. I am a veterinarian using homeopathy as the main treatment modality since 1998. I have truly enjoyed Lou’s thorough, innovative, extremely insightful and entertaining teaching. It has been an exciting journey to see the number of my cured patients rise, and my materia medica knowledge increase dramatically. Lou has helped me to realize that homeopathy doesn’t need to be a struggle, but a fun and exciting journey of discovering its full healing potential.

The HMC course has simply been the most useful and comprehensive course on homeopathy I have taken so far. I would recommend it to any human or veterinary homeopath without hesitation. Thank you Lou!”
- HMC Graduate (2005) Peter Dobias DVM
