His clear cut teaching enables us to progress in an accelerated learning curve – making clear all of the big questions we have about the difficulties of cases and thus successful practice.

Course content: 3 parts:

  • Theory – understanding the Levels of Health and Chronic disease.
  • Materia medica – over 250 remedies are taught form his own vast experience. Only the essentials of remedies are taught ie what you need to know about our most important remedies. These are the remedies that really work in practice but are not known well enough. All new information from his 200,000 cases files.
  • Live cases – follow over 30 live cases form start to finish – learn from a living master.

The course is taught by George Vithoulkas on video as given at the Academy in Alonissos, Greece and moderated by two of his experienced pupils – Andrew Ward R.S.Hom and Dr Jorgos Kavouras.

So far the course has attracted a wide range of nationalities and offers a unique multi-cultural learning enviroment.
