The second annual Summer School experience of the BIH Canada and the Hahnemann Center for Heilkunst was held in July, on the 122-acre campus of Ottawa's Carleton University. With the campus being located between the Rideau Canal and the Rideau River, there was an abundance of green space and natural beauty in which to appreciate the magnificence of Hahnemann and his remedial art.

It featured six full days of insights into the therapeutics and practical applications of Hahnemann's Heilkunst.

Day One and Two, July 5-6 (Wednesday & Thursday):
An introduction to Hahnemann's Heilkunst with a focus on treating the Homogenic, Pathogenic and Iatrogenic domains. This class was for those ready to learn to practice using isotherapeutic treatment in a sequential manner. A must for anyone wishing to work toward a CCD certification from the Hahnemann Center for Heilkunst.

Day Three, July 7 (Friday):
Natural Law Jurisdictions: The role of nutrition, regimen, homotoxicology, drainage and detoxification; how it relates to medicine, and in which jurisdiction they are working.

Day Four, July 8 (Saturday):
The Miasms and Beyond! Understanding miasms, seeing miasms more easily in our patients, and understanding disease dimensions beyond the miasms, including the chthonic and the ideogenic realms.

Day Five, July 9 (Sunday):
In the morning session, Patty Smith FHCH, DVHH, RHom. and Jonathan Wright DVM offered a discussion on Veterinary Heilkunst, including cases illustrating the process and how it is used with animals, from birds to cats to dogs to horses!

Therapeutic Tips!
In the afternoon, the focus was on the exploration of the practicalities of prescribing for humans and animals, including administration of the remedies, therapeutic tips and techniques, palliation, suppression, healing reactions, treating acutes and the difference between healing and cure.

Days Six, July 10 (Monday):
The discussion and presentation on Therapeutic Tips continued with a fascinating discussion on drug/drug and drug/herb interactions and nutrient depletion in patients who are using either drugs or herbs for their complaints. Francois Jooste facilitated and discussed his research into "potentised allopathy!"

Case Discussions!
The afternoon wound down this year's Summer School with Case Discussions.

The extent of disease and its origins constantly amaze. The more we examine disease, the more complex it reveals itself to be. It is like landing on the shores of a vast new continent, unexplored, with no map.
