I
was diagnosed with glandular fever
(mononucleosis) when I was sixteen. The GP
could offer no treatment and said that
eventually it would burn itself out. My
energy was so low I couldn’t even get up and
make myself a cup of tea. I had a severe
headache as well. My mother wisely followed
the advice of a colleague and took me to a
homoeopath. She asked me lots of questions
and gave me two small pills to take over two
days. On the third day I felt my energy
returning. After another week I was back at
school. This was my first experience of
homoeopathy, and the beginning of my life
long interest in the therapy.
There were no schools of homoeopathy in
South Africa at the time and, when I
emigrated to Ireland, there were none there
either. My life took a different turn, with
marriage and children and our family art
gallery. Homoeopathy was our first choice
whenever we got sick. When my children were
in their late teens I decided to pursue my
old interest, and I began my studies with Mr
Lloyd Smythe, of The School of Homoeopathic
Medicine in Dublin. I sat the exams and
qualified in 2005. After a decade of
practice I decided to do a refresher course
with Professor George Vithoulkas. I availed
of his excellent e-learning course and,
after the relevant exams and submission of
case studies, I received my diploma from the
International Academy of Classical
Homoeopathy. I heartily recommend this
course to both new students of homoeopathy
and to practicing homoeopaths. Prof.
Vithoulkas has added immeasurably to my
understanding of the therapy, prognosis in
different levels of health, and to what can
be achieved with the correct remedy.
I have participated in the excellent summer
courses at the International Academy of
Classical Homoeopathy on Alonossos, Greece.

Homoeopathy continues to serve me, my
family, and my patients. I am thankful for
taking the step onto this path. I’m
grateful, especially to my teachers and
colleagues, and for the support I have
received from my beloved family and friends.
