Minutus

Dear Group

To all the nice people who answered my query a while back regarding
homeopathy schools -

You may remember that I had concerns due to having been told (and shown)
that British Institute of Homeopathy USA was somewhat religious / new-age in
its orientation. I have been informed by contacts that BIH USA is now no
longer linked to the rest of the British Institute of Homeopathy but has
become a separate legal and professional entity.

I thought I would mention this for the record. As my concerns were to do
with what I had been told about the USA part of the school, I am very
pleased to hear that they are no longer linked to the original school, which
many people have vouched for as having a good reputation.

Warmly,
Anna

Hi Anna,

This is puzzling... *No one* who replied to your earlier inquiries had any
idea what you might be referring to; *no one* had experienced religious
pressures or untoward religious content; and several of those who replied
are indeed affiliated with BIH USA. I really think that your informant (who
told you they have a religious orientation) is mistaken. But if it *is*
true, then it's certainly something that many of us would want to be aware
of. Can you give any sources, any more information? Is this stated in any
of their literature? (And if not, how would they attract the people who
might want such a school?)

What reason was given to you concerning the split by USA BIH, and who told
you?

I hope you'll answer my questions as fully as you can, since you're making
some significant charges. I believe these need to be either substantiated
or corrected, both for BIH's credibility and for your own credibility.

Best wishes,
Shannon

PS, but it occurs to me, maybe I'm protesting inappropriately. If you're
only asserting that it is "somewhat religious / new-age in its orientation",
well, that is true of a large portion of the alternative health community,
certainly here in the US, and I would assume it's not uncommon in other
places either. Hahnemann and many/most of "the old guys" certainly had
definite religious/philosophical views and interests, maybe "the New Age of
their day", in a certain way. (Swedenborg? How mainstream is/was that???)
But that is the orientation of (many of the) *people*, and is *not* (so far
as I've ever heard) what is being taught in the classes.

Are you concerned about quality and content of the homeopathic teaching, or
rather about your (potential) fellow students' philosophical leanings being
incompatible with your own, or disagreeable to you?

Dear Anna and friends,

First I shall assure you and everyone else that BIH USA is still
affiliated with BIH LTD. So obviously Anna's sources are mistaken, but
it is also obvious that Anna has not been receiving accurate information
from the beginning of her inquiries about our school.

BIH USA handles the United States and its territories, and that
is one of the only differences from our parent/sister company BIH Ltd.

We have the same courses, the same copyrights, and an excellent
reputation in the homeopathic field.

Sincerely,

Maria T. Bohle, Director
BIH USA

I would suggest that you write directly to Maria Bohle at .

Maria became the BIH coordinator for the USA a few years ago, and has
the full blessing of Trevor Cook, the head of the BIH.
I know Maria quite well, and I would trust her implicitly. I know
that she is working with Karen Allen to add case studies into the
program. Karen is doing work with the Council for Homeopathic
Certification and has been very involved in setting standards for
that organization.
I know that Trevor Cook has been talking about retiring for quite a
while, so maybe what you heard has to do with that.

Talk to Maria directly about your concerns.

I know that when you first posted and mentioned the "religiosity" of
the BIH USA thing, it sounded weird to me, and I asked Maria and she
said that there was no backing to that claim. I believe a few people
answered it at the time.

The only split that I am aware of is when part of the Canadian branch, led
by Rudi Verspoor left BIH several years ago. That dispute was not religious
but centred around homeopathic prescribing.

Dear Anna and All,
I find it interesting that gossip loves to be seeded here. Your "contacts" are never named. I would love to know the story on them.
No one even knows who you are.
I have been in the BIH program for a few years now. The BIH - original and USA are both credible and top quality based on my experience.
What and WHO is the basis for your accusations and suspicions? Why are you trying to ruin a reputation without factual information? You say you have been "told and shown"... well then... tell and "show" this list.

Yes, JoAnn,

I agree. It's about time Anna revealed who 'she' really is, where 'she'
comes from, how well qualified 'she' is as a homeopath (which 'she' obviously is),
and what gender 'she' is.

I know this kind of talk very well. I could put all my money on to who this
person is, so familiar is the language, as I have heard it all before. It's
about time you let go 'Anna' !!!!!

Life is about Live and let Live, you may not agree with other people's stance
on homeopathy (I often don't myself), or anything else in life, but if you
love yourself you will love others too, and tolerance is part of this love;
didn't your homeopathic mentors teach you this? At your age in life, I would have
expected you to have grown a bit more. I feel disappointed.

Love, respect, forgiveness, tolerance and light,

Grace

What is BIH? Is it a terrorist organization or what? Thanks God they have started infighting.
