TABLE OF CONTENTS


ARTICLES
Confessions of a Homeopathic Heretic (excerpt)
Melissa Assilem,
RSHom
The author relates how, through the process of noegenesis, her homeopathic work has developed along some untraditional and controversial lines, and gives some personal history of that process, the fears it has raised and how she deals with them.

Exploring the Emotional Depths of the Homogenic Dimension of Disease (excerpt)
Rudi Verspoor,
DHM(Pract), CCD
The author explains how he was inspired to begin using the sequential approach by Jean Elmiger’s work, and how and why his version of the approach departed from that of Dr. Elmiger in its greater emphasis on the importance of emotional trauma in creating disease states, and some changes in prescribing strategies resulting from that change in emphasis.

Toxicology of Multiple Drug Therapy and Complementary Treatment Strategies (excerpt)
François Jooste,
BSc, Pharm/Chem, MBA, ACS, DHPh, DIHom(Pract)
Multiple allopathic drug therapies often introduce unmanageable iatrogenic disease in patients.This study addresses this common problem in principle, presents a working model to evaluate the adverse effects of multiple drug therapy on the holistic entity, and offers some alternative strategies to maximize continued health benefits for the patient.

Recurrent Cystitis: A Case of Veterinary Heilkunst (excerpt)
Patty Lynn Smith,
DHM(Pract), CCD
This is a detailed case study recounting how the sequential approach was used to cure recurrent cystitis in a male Maine Coon cat, preventing radical surgery; the homeopath’s account is accompanied by that of the patient’s human “parents”.

PATIENT PERSPECTIVE
Timeline Therapy as the Journey of Joseph Campbell’s Thousand-Faced Hero (excerpt)
Shirley Meier
The “hero cycle” which the great student of mythology observed to be almost universal in human legend can be interpreted not just as an allegorical battle against evil or mission of self-discovery, but the basic structure of the healing journey as well—a journey repeated many times by the sequential patient, as the author describes.
