Finding a homeopath

[Sheri Nakken]

Here is what I share with my students and listmates

thanks for sharing this with the list Susan - just adding more details
Sheri

Call and interview THEM first and ask the questions below

You can tell a lot from that. If it is hard to reach them, then may
be hard to reach them later when you need them

Also can tell whether you get on well
Many people take a few workshops and think they do homeopathy - or
read a few books - or study for a year.
It take a long in depth study .

Here are some questions to help determine quality

Their credentials which implies quality, but I have found otherwise.

Questions

1. Where did you study homeopathy? (should be a specific program or
intense study with a particular knowledgeable person)

2. How long did you study? (should be a number of years - usually
3 or 4 or more)
Also what other postgraduate education have you had?
3. Who did you mentor with? (who did they have their clinical experience with)
4. Do you mix homeopathy with herbs, drugs, other things??? Or do
you ONLY use homeopathic remedies.
(answer should be ONLY homeopathic remedies other than maybe
nutritional advice)
5. Do you use just one remedy at a time (should use 1 remedy and
use it in water). Should have followups by phone within a few days
of taking the remedy in water. Should not have you taking more than
one remedy or taking them on a routine basis (usually) or alternating remedies
6. What type of potencies do you use? Dry or water potencies? (best
answer is water potencies, but these people are few and far between
but I have some I can refer you to)
7. Have you read the Organon? (the main source to learn homeopathy
and KNOW the principles).
If so, how often do you read it? What edition of the Organon do
you base your work on? (most good homeopaths are reading it
constantly or at least yearly & should be reading the 5th & 6th
edition - but even those who say this are still not giving remedies in water)

8. what is your view on allopathic vaccination (so many homeopaths
don't have clue about the dangers of vaccinations, believe it or not
even though it is so obvious if you know homeopathic principles, so
don't expect enlightenment here - it is up to you to educate them! -
they seem to have a blind spot here and as brainwashed as the rest of
the world in many cases - join me in educating them!)

Some of them don't like to say until they know you because of fear
of reprisal by allopaths and spies.

9. Have you had experience treating someone with similar symptoms to
my child before? (not vital, but helpful - homeopathy doesn't treat
by disease name but by symptom pictures, but it helps if they know
this kind of condition)
10. How available are you in an emergency, nights, weekends?
1. Find out how accessible they are to talk to
2. What about after hours/weekends
