Homeopathic Treatment as We Age and Die: Determining the Direction of Cure

Inherent in popular homeopathic philosophy is a notion of searching for a holy grail, the similimum. There is often a hope that this remedy will be transformative and transcendent in its effects. It is a high bar for a practitioner. Acutely, our goals are simpler, heal the wound, recover from the illness, have more energy, all kinds of health improvements. But what does it mean to heal along with aging, or to heal into death? Sometimes the American natural healthcare world can look at illness and death as failure. Dr. Shevins will discuss these tricky ideas and how to use homeopathy clearly and powerfully with the elderly and in end of life situations.
