UNIQUE ASPECTS OF THIS CONDENSED PROGRAMME:
A) Materia Medica:
i) Acquaintance with the western approach of psychic essences and
personification of ‘Drug Pictures’ [e.g. Mr. Lycopodiums are Teachers,
Doctors, Successful dictators, Politicians; and their personality
character reflects they are Careful; Cautious; Conscientious;
Conservative; Courteous; Contained; Avoid risk & commitments-Mr. Safe;
Mr. Nux Vomicas are CEO, Share brokers, Salesman and their personality
character reflects they are Ambitious, Impatient, Arrogant, Charismatic,
Aggressive, Independent, Confident, Courteous, Workaholic,
Perfectionist; Mrs. Pulsatillas are Nursery nurse, Teacher, Carer and
their personality character reflects they are Emotional-tearful, Moody,
Changeable, Pleasing, Perceptive, Affectionate, Caring, Forsaken,
Worrier; and Miss Phosphorus can be Artists, Actors, Receptionists,
Maitre D’hotel, Politician and their personality character reflects they
are Expressive, Emotional, Social, Artistic, Impressionable, Gregarious,
Sympathetic and Sensitive] with modern interpretations of old proving
symptoms;
ii) How to open drug dependent cases (mostly the western patients are on
conventional medications) and ascertain a clearer picture for the
constitutional medicine e.g. asking the innate nature of the person, for
example give ten words to describe yourself, and when patient says I am
COMPASSIONATE: - e.g. Arg-nit, Bell, Calc, Calc.phos, Carcin, Caust,
Coccul, Graph., Ign, Lach, Nat-m, Nux-v, Phos, Puls., Sulph. Graph, Ign,
Nat-c, Nat-m, Nit-ac, Nux-v.; DUTIFUL :- Calc, Calc-I, Carcin.,Cocculus,
Ignatia, Kali-ars., Kali-c, Kali iod., Lyco, Nat-m, Puls; EASY GOING :-
Ars, Calc, Carc, Lil.tig., Lyco, Mag Mur., Nat-m, Nux-v, Phos.ac, Phos,
Puls, Rhus Tox, Sepia, Sil., Sulph, Thuja; FAMILY ORIENTED :- Acet-ac,
Anac., Ars, Baryta C., Calc, Calc-I, Calc-sil, Carc., Graph., Hep, Ign.,
Iod., Kali Br., Kali Nit., Kali phos., Lyco.,Mag carb., Nat carb.,Nat
mur., Petr, Phos, Phos.Ac., Puls, Psor., Rhus-t, Sulph. etc. These are
modern extensions/interpretations of old proving symptoms and not found
in the Repertory books.
iii) Clinical and Comparative Materia Medica with emphasis on Lesser
Known Medicines (e.g. Franciscea, Ginseng, Pimpenella, Stellaria, Viola
etc. to open the steroid dependant Arthritic cases with few
uncontaminated symptoms and absence of clear modalities; such lesser
known organopathic medicines have capabilities to alleviate symptoms to
certain extent and thereby giving the chance to wean off the
conventional medication and experience shows after 40-50% weaning off;
uncontaminated symptoms of the natural disease sufaces and give scope
for constitutional prescribing) when well selected remedies fails;
iv) Group Characters (e.g. common characters of Natrums, Kaliums,
Calcarea etc.) of medicines;
v) Key characters of polychrests and essence of each medicine is
presented in a synopsis so you grasp a remedy picture through a few
words only (e.g. retention for Nat.Mur; Anchor for Pulsatilla; Principle
for Kali Carb; Unfulfilled for Tuberculinum etc.);
vi) Pictorial representation of drug pictures.
B) Case Taking & Practice Management:
Approach used in England with emphasis on emotional essence and
personality characteristics [e.g.
a) asking hobbies to your patients: ’hunting’ reflects syphilitic taint;
‘travelling’ is tubercular whereas ‘gambling’ is sycotic!;
b) patient’s happiest and saddest incident in life: reflection of
N.B.W.S—Never Been Well Since, the approach of Dr.D.M.Foubister, the
British homoeopath and his emphasis on “significance of past history in
homoeopathic prescribing”;
c) asking patient: if you could take a week off and money would be no
object, what would you do? Mr.Psora is lazy and will do nothing; Mr.
Tubercular will go round the world trip! So understanding the innate
dyscrasia and miasmatic nature of your patient]

this is a 2 years programme and it is expensive to live in England
for longer period, as we do not offer any scholarship.
In reference to this context, please note that the 3 weeks “P.G.Hom Course”
is a short but intensive programme and as we are listed as a
recognised "Education Provider" therefore, you can apply for a 'student visa'

in your country, provided you can satisfy the High Commission with ample
documentations that you will return to your own country after the course. On
receiving your 'advance deposit', we will send you an official invitation
letter from the college for processing your visa, as well as our travel
agent may also be able to offer you some guidelines about the documentations
you need to obtain your `student visa’ for your short visit to England.
Therefore, if you like to come to England; the 3 weeks “P.G.Hom Course” will
be your best choice. You will be awarded the certificate from Allen College
of Homoeopathy, Essex, England, after successfully completing the programme.
