Teaching the Art & Science of Homeopathy Since 1990
|
|
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
The group is shaping up wonderfully, with numerous MDs, NDs, DOs, nurses, veterinarians, professional and lay homeopaths, as well as others from a range of disciplines. More and more people appreciate the power of, and need for natural medicine approaches like homeopathy for both acute and chronic conditions.
This course is flexible, self-paced, and user-friendly, while providing structure, community, and guidance. We'll maximize your learning experience and joy in practice. If you missed the course during naturopathic school, if you need a refresher, or if you are just starting out, we hope we have the opportunity to learn together!
***
We also hope you'll enjoy the materia medica presentation of Bothrops found below. When we write up information about a specific remedy, it is our hope that it will help you flesh out your understanding of that remedy and in turn, recognize a patient who might benefit from it. One beautiful aspect of homeopathy is that your knowledge is cumulative. As you expand your understanding of remedies, so too, you broaden your appreciation of how different people experience the world around us. It can't help but make you a more compassionate, patient, and understanding person and hopefully a better provider, family member, and friend.
With wishes for a healthy, happy, and peaceful 2022
Amy Rothenberg ND, DHANP & Paul Herscu ND, MPH, DHANP

The Materia Medica of Bothrops Lanceolatus
by Dr. Paul Herscu
|
When I think of Bothrops, I am reminded of a story that I read in college some years ago. It was of Damocles and his sword. As the story goes, Dionysius, the king, had a subject, Damocles, who lamented about how great it would be to be the rich and powerful, even for one day. Dionysius said great, come back and we will change places for a day.
The next day, Damocles arrived to a feast in his honor. He ate the best of foods, prepared by the finest chefs. He drank the finest wines, and enjoyed the greatest of jewels. By chance, he looked up. He was shocked to find a very, very sharp sword hanging, point down, aimed straight at his head. It was held by a single horse’s hair. Horrified, he asked Dionysius why it was there. The short version of the story has Dionysius share that all the rich and powerful had such a sword hanging over their heads. It was the difficult part, the responsibility, that came with the benefits of power. Needless to say, Damocles gave up his desire to be a king. Who can blame him?
The reason I am reminded of this myth has to do with a patient I consulted on several years ago. He was a man who, in the prime of his life, all of a sudden developed a pericarditis. With drugs it began to resolve only to return once more. This time, though, the cardiologist noted that he was beginning to have clots occlude his carotid arteries. With all the medical help he received, with all of the drug therapies he tried, the clots were simply becoming more numerous and larger. He had very little flow left going to his brain. They told him that there was nothing more they could do for him. They did not know why the drugs were not working. They had given up. It was only a matter of time until the blockage would get so large as to end this vibrant, young man’s life. And so he walked about, having this Sword of Damocles hanging over his head with the thinnest of hairs holding it in suspension, waiting for his time to run out. Luckily, Bothrops saved his life.

NESH ALUMNI: What Comes After Completing
150 HOUR COURSE?
|

We Aim to form a Community you can continue to Learn and Grow with over the Years!
NESH Alumni Practitioner Directory: A great way to locate NESH-trained practitioners around the globe. Listings are FREE if you are accepting new patients and use homeopathy as one of your treatment modalities, after you complete this 150 Hour Online Course.
NESH Clinical Classes: Once you have completed this course and have a solid foundation in Cycles and Segments, we offer Clinical Classes where patients are seen all weekend long and all our work, study, and time together can come to fruition. We take that opportunity to put into practice what we have taught, to model follow-up sessions, and continue the teaching of philosophy, case-taking, case-analysis, and materia medica. Clinical Classes are ONLY open to those who have completed a two year program with NESH, such as this NESH 150 Hour Course.
Case Supervision with Dr. Amy Rothenberg: Amy offers case supervision to those practitioners and students who have completed the NESH 150 Hour Online Course. She also offers sessions where you can ask general homeopathy questions by phone, email, or other “virtual” platforms.
Repeater’s Half-Price Discount: After completing this course you can take any future NESH “Two-Year Course” at half price. NESH’s goal is to help you gain expertise and confidence in your practice of homeopathy, and class repeaters say this is great way to achieve that. Repeaters have loved the way they hear and understand at a deeper level. For those in practice, repeating the course has enabled them to apply information in a clinical setting with more confidence & competence. It is also more relaxing learning the second time through, when the larger picture is understood and more of the details and subtleties fall into place. We’ve even had a handful of folks take it for a third time, launching them into their next stage of professional development!
