 Heil = whole/sound/remedial kunst = art

Heilkunst is the name given by Dr. Hahnemann to the complete system of medicine and health found in his writings, most notably the Organon der Heilkunst, his central work. Homeopathy is only one part of this remarkable system.

Wholeness for Hahnemann is a profound state of spiritual evolution and health that allows each person to fulfill their divine purpose in life. The ability to use natural laws to achieve this state demands deep and careful powers of observation and discernment, which presupposes a profound state of health on the part of the physician. Medicine must be grounded in natural law and operate according to scientific principles. The ability to practice medicine on this basis demands skills that go beyond the purely mechanical or technical. Thus Heilkunst is ultimately an art form, as well as being the highest scientific form of expression of human knowledge. To be a true physician is to be a Heilkünstler, or one who practices Heilkunst, the art of making people whole at all levels.

Heilkunst encompasses an extensive variety of health-promoting methods developed by courageous and independently-minded medical scientists, ranging from nutrition, exercise and lifestyle choices, through various therapies to support one’s innate natural healing power (massage, manipulation, energy work), to medicine (first aid, acute and chronic diseases) and into the realm of spiritual evolution. Each of these methods is interconnected through a dynamic system of timeless principles that allows the true physician to use them scientifically – on clear principles, as and when required, according to the form given by Nature herself for the attainment of true health. This is the true system of Western medicine, the evolutionary culmination of historical and creative forces to date.

In studying to become practitioners of this art of making people whole you will enter into your own spiritual journey to health, you will see the wonders of nature and knowledge unfold before you while working constantly to help others on their own journey to transform disease into greater health and discovery of self. The only true knowledge is self-knowledge.

Homeopathy is a system of natural medicine that has been used for more than 200 years. It treats illness following the natural Law of Similars, or “like cures like”.  For example, the remedy that might be needed to treat someone experiencing a rash and intense itching (as in poison ivy) might be made from a minute dose of poison ivy. The artificial dis-ease caused by the poison ivy remedy overpowers the natural dis-ease, the one with the rash and intense itching symptoms, and removes it. Traditional medicine sometimes uses the Law of Similars, for example cancer can be treated with cancer-causing radiation, but with homeopathy, the doses are infinitesimally small, and have no toxic side-effects.
 

HEILKUNST TREATMENTS:  

Please Note that our living principle occupies an innate and natural healing rhythm from which the practitioner draws from and respects during treatmemts.  To remain within that natural healative flow, I would suggest treatments no more than 2 months apart.  With more time between appointments the process may become longer but no less effective.

Regimen 

This is the realm of lifestyle – diet, exercise, nutrition, supplements, sleep, hydration, relaxation.  

Medicine

This realm consists mainly of the treatment of various shocks and traumas (physical and emotional) acquired in our lifetime, as well as the potential for various inherited diseases (chronic miasms) that we carried into this world with us, a gift from our parents at conception.

Education

One of the greatest contributors to ill health is false beliefs about ourselves and the world. These easily can be shown to be untrue, but they dominate our thoughts and end up shaping the nature of our world. If we think we are not worthy, we will do things (even unconsciously) to undermine our success; if we think we are not loveable, we will take actions that drive love away. The practitioner will provide therapeutic education (counselling) in their monthly follow ups. 

​

Initial Consultation (Approx 90 Min)

The patient will bring their completed patient intake form and their sequential timeline of shocks/traumas (see the form section).  Initial consultations can be conducted over the phone, or video call. You will also be given advice regarding your regimen and the ways in which you can do more to assist the healing powers of your body.  Remedies can be mailed out or picked up. 

Sequential Timeline

​This includes charting a history of the specific physical and mental shocks and traumas (from the most recent to birth), as well as the genetic predispositions to illness inherited from your family tree.

​

​Emotional Support

We will also provide a patient with a dropper bottle that contains NSOL remedies to help to start to lap away at the past grief, anger, fear, guilt. NSOL offers a kind of liberty to be able to discern how we want to react in the present without all the historical baggage. 

I suggest booking your regular appointments every 4-6 weeks.  This Schedule follows the body’s natural healing rhythm.

Your Regular Appointment plus Remedies will generally cost between $135 - $150.00.

 A healing reaction is usually experienced by the patient, on average, 12-15 days after taking the remedy. It is the body's way of acting to restore balance after the remedy has expelled the blockage or trauma.  The patient may experience a discharge  (such as a runny nose, headache, more frequent urination, nausea, rash etc.). The healing reaction is necessary for both healing and curing.  The Healing Reaction is seen as a positive signal that the remedy has completed its healing action.  

• Healing involves re-establishing balance and strengthening our system. Most alternative health modalities such as massage therapy, herbs, nutrition, chiropractic adjustments, etc. work at this level.
  
• Curing is the elimination of a disease. It not only removes symptoms but also removes the cause of a particular disease.

A Homeopathic Remedy is a potentized substance created from a plant, animal, mineral basis.  Based on The Law of Similars, if the substance is given to a healthy person they will express a 'proving' that manifests each of the symptoms it may create.  When a person talks about their symptoms; a headache, an inflammatory process, an immune reaction etc, I will match the remedy's symptom picture to your symptoms.  We refer to this as Repertorizing.  

 Included in your Emotional Support dropper is your constitutional remedy.  Our Constitution is the way each see the world in which we live, it is who we are in a state of health before disease entered our lives and shifted our sense of self.   It's a way of behaving in the world. Underneath we can develop a character structure that we are not in control of but dictates the way we act. Our constitutional remedy can help us to be more balanced and strengthen our immune system. The concept of constitution is seen through the emotional and spiritual character, likes and dislikes, occupation, lifestyle and habits, civic and domestic relationships, age and sexual functioning. The six genotypes or constitutions are Calcara Carbonica, Lycopodium, Phosphorous, Sulphur, Silica and Pulsatilla.   When we begin to shift into a state of disease we often see Arscenicum, Natrum Muriaticum, Staphysagria, Lachesis, Sepia and Nux Vomica as the new personalities we take on.  

 Chronic/ Genetic  Miasms

Did you know…that there are inherited factors that affect our health that goes beyond our genes?

Treatment of chronic miasms is the next logical step after clearing a patient’s timeline of shocks and traumas.  The 8 universal chronic miasms map out over the 4 seasons of the year, 1 pair per season (starting with Psora. Dr. Hahnemann discovered that these diseases that were originally infectious in nature had a detrimental effect on the patient that they ended up being passed on from generation to generation. In effect, he was the first to propose the concept of genetically inherited diseases.  Thus, as important as it is to remove the cumulative shocks and traumas, it is also critical in many cases to go past the point of conception and reach back into the various disease patterns we brought with us. As with all of the chronic miasms, it becomes relatively easy to identify the root of so many varied physical and mental-emotional symptoms. 

Psora - Fall (Sept-15-Oct 30)  Psora is related to the end of the season when leaves are falling, vegetation is dying lack of at all levels, and characterized by the classic itch. There is a fear of whether there will be enough to keep one alive during winter along with the fear of what was once gained is now being lost. There is the feeling that there needs to be a struggle in order to regain what is now gone. The essence of Psora is a form of struggle in order to survive. Physically is can be seen in psoriasis, eczema, oversensitive to sounds and bloating.

Malaria (Nov 1-Dec 15) The feelings here are of victimization, persecution, suspiciousness, irritability, and pessimism. Physically this makes us more prone to general aches and pains, digestive issues, fatigue, flus, colds, diarrhea, and vomiting.

Tuberculosis -  Winter (Dec 15 - Jan 30)  The Tuberculinum miasm sets in when winter is here and physically people are feeling run down and prone to infections of the ear, nose, throat, and lungs. There is a great need to bust loose and travel perhaps due to the cold weather or just anywhere to keep them moving and not stagnant. ”There is a huge need to get up and out as quickly as possible to escape this sense of oppression. Some feats may be rash, bold, daring and could be destructive

Ringworm - (Feb 1-March 14) “seasonal affective disorder” Mentally and emotionally they may feel trapped and irritable. The essence in Ringworm is of an intense struggle which is not life-threatening and a resignation to the fact that there is always going to be a level of some discomfort. There may be procrastination to finishing projects. Physically there may be issues with constipation, lack of energy and digestive issues.

Sycosis  (Medorrhinum) -Spring (March 15-April 30)  “sex, drugs” and “rock n roll” state of mind.  This is a time when we’ve had enough of the hibernating and are ready to bust out and live life to the max after a period of winter blues. Extremes are apparent here, making it necessary for people to want to experience everything and fully. Hyperactive to their environment, overreact to everything and everything becomes life-threatening. Mentally this may be seen as a weak memory where people are forgetful and lose the thread of conversation easily.  Physically, one may see allergies, joint pain, overgrowths and attacking the sexual organs.

Cancer (May 1-June 15) “Caretaker role”This can mean a period of intense and passionate activity, making one over-extend oneself on many levels. Everything has to be perfect.  They are living for others because they stopped living for themselves. 

Syphilis -Summer (June 16-July 31) Syphilis is in full force in the hot summer months. Rage, fury, destruction, accidents, road rage – these all represent this time. Emotionally, there is a complete feeling of hopelessness and despair so in order to survive, one needs to act in a manner as if it is their last attempt, even if it means death. They have a bunker mentality where they are rigid, mentally dull.  They are destructively creative, smart, cunning, obsessive and fixed in their ideas but out of contact with reality.   Physically you will ulcers, cankers, colitis, moles, bushy eyebrows and crooked teeth. 

Lyme -(Aug 1-Sept 15) -Profound state of alienation because they have been sacrificed and there is no energy or connection with the outside world. There is a deep sense of isolation and victimization with a deep feeling of disconnection and dark hopelessness. Seasonally, this is the time when there is still some hot days left but things are wrapping up and starting to go inwards and die off to get ready for the fall. Physically, there is pain, depression, headaches, brain fog, adrenal disorders, kidney/liver pain,  light sensitivity, memory loss and cognitive problems along with fatigue. In an extreme sense, there may be a feeling of being trapped within their own body and auto-immune.

Sequential Therapy also known as The Traumatic Timeline is a recording of every shock, trauma or injury you may have sustained during your life from gestation to the present time.   The Timeline is treated categorically in reverse order of their engenderment within the living principle.  Thus, we begin clearing trauma from the present time and move back through each timeline event.  

Within the  realm of sequential therapy,  we treat disease that falls under several categories.  Homogenic, Pathogenic, Ideogenic, Iatrogenic.  This means we treat shocks and trauma's manifesting as physical, mental and emotional symptoms that are: 

Iatrogenic:  Essentially Doctor Caused.  These are traumas and injuries created by pharmaceuticals, vaccinations, procedures, surgeries etc.  

Pathogenic:  Influenza, Childhood diseases like measles, chicken pox, whooping cough etc.  

Ideogenic is found within the realm of false belief systems we develop over our life times.  Eg.  I'm not good enough.  I don't deserve love.  

Homogenic are the shocks and traumas that occur through accidents, falls, injuries etc.
