The famous G.Vithoulkas Homeopathic Teaching Program was presented for the first time in England in October 2005 with the students graduating in the Spring of 2008. It is an exceptional video training course, which provides all the information that is necessary to become a competent and successful homeopath. A new course started in Oct 08 - central London - see details below. You can join at any stage. George Vithoulkas is arguably the best and most experienced homeopath in the world. He is largely responsible for raising the reputation and the quality standard of homeopathy worldwide in the second half of the 20th Century, and he is still continuing to do so.
For the first time he has recorded his teachings in a complete and didactic way in order to improve the qualification of homeopaths and to set a gold-standard of homeopathic education the world over. The course consists of 400 hours of teaching based on George's 40 years experience. This covers the "A to Z" of classical Homoeopathy - his unique understanding of the Theory of Chronic Disease, including the 12 Levels of Health; the documented live cases and the Materia Medica of over 150 remedies. This information is all based on his personal experience of over 150,000 cases. Due to the unique way that the presentation of this course has been captured, you experience the teaching as if Prof. Vithoulkas is in the room and you are in the class, via the medium of the video case studies. These are then used by the mentors to transmit the core of George Vithoulkas' understanding of homoeopathy. There will be two mentors at hand to explain and elucidate on any questions or issues arising, and to facilitate discussions. The mentors will be Dr.Jorgos Kavouras MD - a very experienced homeopathic physician who teaches in several colleges in Germany, has studied extensively with Prof. Vithoulkas and has facilitated on several of the video programs in Europe.
Andrew Ward R.S.Hom - a very experienced registered homoeopath ( 20 years in practice) who has also studied extensively with and assisted Prof. Vithoulkas over the last 15 years in Alonissos. He is very familiar with his core teachings. The course will be presented over a 3-year period in central London (Regents College). Beginners, graduates and advanced homeopaths will equally benefit from this unique essential information. Homoeopathy is in a difficult state at the moment. There are too many new "systems" and "theories" which just confuse the student, practitioner, and public. The medical world is attacking our profession and using arguments that we are unscientific and unregulated. We need to show the world that we do indeed have a remarkable system of medicine that is both highly effective in treating the most chronic of diseases and extremely safe. However in order to do this we have to know and fully understand the science of Homoeopathy ourselves and then put it into practice. Homoeopathy is a true science with effects that can be demonstrated and predicted.
This course will teach you the pure essence of homoeopathy, which in turn will enable you to reach a very high level of success as a practitioner. You will then in turn become highly respected for your work and successes and run a healthy, busy practice. "Everyone I know who has attended this course and fully understood it has gone on to run a successful, busy practice."
This is homoeopathy in its purest form - the form in which Hahnemann wished it to be understood. The Course The course is currently at the end of the second year and will finish in April 2011.
