A word from the Editor – Miscellaneous

It is an interesting quote by Sir William Osler, the father of conventional medicine, and yes, I think there are still many things conventional medicine can learn from Homeopathy now. Patient-centered care and patient comprehensible communication for example! In my opinion, these are essentials, yet over and over again I find, there is still a lack of such aspects of the patient-practitioner interaction. Naturally, the two are very different, but for the sake of patient care these should have a greater space on the agenda of conventional medics and practitioners.

Hahnemann was much ahead of his time; in what he said and did, and in the treatment approach that he gave to the world!

This ‘Miscellaneous’ issue has a mix of articles that I hope you may find of interest! There is a case of congenital heart disease that was treated successfully with homeopathy, a close-up on an ancient yet very modern form of blood-letting, new findings of the remedy Okoubaka, and an insight into how clients may be put off by a marketing strategy! A great mix of info surrounding our favorite topic ‘Homeopathy’. 🙂 . Furthermore, this issue features a short tale of fantasy.

The next issue, pics up on the topic ‘Building Practice’, with a close up on topics like marketing, promoting and creating a client base, and the subsequent issue will feature: ‘Learning Homeopathy’. In that issue can be features articles surrounding the philosophy of homeopathy, aspects of learning, profiles of homeopathic institutions, schools, courses, and student testimonials etc. Deadline is 1^st of October!

Hope you enjoy your holidays!

All best!
