In the USA, the Council for Homeopathic Certification received accreditation status as an agency that certifies professional homeopaths with the Federal Government.

So, CHC homeopaths are now Nationally Certified! The Standards and Competencies for Homeopathic Education have been accepted, and homeopathy in the USA is now moving into a more 'professional' arena.

Dear Maria,
I want to ask you about how to think about certification, clinical work and adjusting to moving to Portland from Tokyo. Also, at the bottom of this email is some other joint mobility exercise.
I heard that the CHC qualification test is closed and by next spring they will demand schooling for certification. I am not interested in schooling. You clinic studies work might be useful, but not for a school. I am interested in how Mangialavori does his interviews. I have a Ph.D. in education, so really, have had enough schooling. My thesis work used cultural anthropological methods. That is the background for my interest in analysis.
Years ago on the British School of Homeopathy forum when Irene was arrogantly protesting certification, I could see her point but did not anticipate that I would also feel that certification is not for me. It is not that I am so smart, but I have different interests.
Heinner Frei and Mangialavori's work will not be included in schooling. That's where my current interest lies. Recently, I took the dental course offered by WHN. The A&P class by Will Taylor was very helpful. I follow Herscu through his newsletter. All of those teachers have unique ideas and experience to offer. But in general, I am not finding WHN courses to be enlightening. More therapeutic study is always useful, but I learn it from books better. In general, seminars seem to be just a repeat of what I know. I am no longer worrying that my homeopathy is ineffective or hit and miss. Any schooling would be more of the same.
I am much more interested in making my interviewing less tense. I want my homeopathy to be more like my Aikido. To that end, I am interested in a book by Mosche Daniel on Holistic Counseling. Taking a course in clinical work might help also.

We will be moving from Tokyo to Portland Oregon in 2019. I will be 70 by then. I want to continue doing homeopathy but I don't want to run a business. Just keep working with people either at the dojyo or through homeopathy. Teaching polarity analysis to lay people would be very useful. I don't feel that I need to be competitive. I just need to continue working. Do what I do now, but hopefully with more local patients.
Do you think that your clinical classes apply to my situation? How about certification in general? What I should be thinking about moving to the US? If you have any thoughts, please let me know or air them on Minutus.

On a totally different line, I have been finding more interesting youtube videos concerning joint mobility. Kevin Secours teaches grappling, but he has a background in Tai chi and yoga as well as the Russian method that the other teacher who I suggested to you, Scott Sonnon, has. Sonnon's videos I mentioned on Minutus. I enjoy Secours because the exercises are different, but also, his explanations can be very interesting.
In Aikido, we are mainly falling on the floor, not grappling. But the basic problems of joint mobility remain since you have to stand up from many different positions and take many unpredictable falls. I would guess that you have the same problem in Tai Kwando. I am slowly downloading a few of Secour's relevant videos (many of his videos are on youtube, but I am paying for more detail.). If you are interested, I will send them to you through Dropbox.
Take a look at his work on Youtube to get an idea of his approach.
This is Sonnon's Student's presentation of floor work.
Here is a more beginner oriented presenation:
The same exercise by Secours.

Tell me if you are interested in Secours. I just worked on the spine and am preparing to work on structure. I will send the videos to you through dropbox.
Best,
Ellen Madono

In the USA the Certification requirements are minimum education requirements.
Our clinics are live with real, not vetted, people and cases.
I studied postgrad with Mangialavori for many years, and am a great fan of Heiner Frei’s work. Our clinic is much more about the patient and using the best method for that patient. Mostly we do very classical Hahnemann, Boenninghausen, Kent, Gibson ( I like the dose and follow with an antimiasmatic), and I do include Frei’s work when the modalities are strong.
Strong mental are important but so are the physical complaints of the patient.

Would love to have you join our clinics, I could foresee some great discussions.
You are obviously an experienced homeopath, so would be happy to work some thing out with you. Let’s take this to private email.

In my opinion CHC Certification is essential for the USA. I just got a patient badly damaged by some very high potencies given by someone who claimed to be a homeopath doing ‘sensation method’. The patient was astounded when I did a complete interview. Patient was never interviewed.
The patient got a ‘how do you feel when....?.’ Then a ‘what is your favorite animal’?’ This is not good Homeopathy by any standards. We do need minimum standards of education.

Plus in this litigious society you can purchase insurance for a nominal amount of money.

Warmly, Maria
