Becoming a professional homeopath was less a career choice than a passion that I could not ignore.  After graduating from Cornell University in 1976 with a degree in Asian language and philosophy, and wishing to pursue a career in healthcare, I encountered a slim book entitled "Homeopathy: Medicine of the New Man", by the eminent Greek homeopath George Vithoulkas.  
    It was such a striking exposition of this true healing art that I promptly wrote the author to ask permission to study directly with him in Greece. Several months later, the reply came: under Greek medical law, it was only possible to train licensed medical doctors.
     Unaware that a homeopathic renaissance was about to begin in the United States and believing to be without any means to attain training, my path took me to the Far East where for ten years I became immersed in the study and practice of Oriental Medicine.
    But throughout that decade abroad, I never forgot those first impressions of the inherent sense and profundity of homeopathy.  After returning from Asia and establishing a practice in Oriental Medicine, I again felt the irresistible urge to pursue professional homeopathic training.
    I have had occasion to learn from some of the world’s leading homeopathic practitioners, especially Rajan Sankaran, Jayesh Shah and their homeopathic colleagues in Mumbai, India.  I continue to place great value on and derive tremendous benefit from the ongoing opportunities to study directly from them.
    For some twenty-five years,  I have practiced, taught, written and researched many aspects of natural healthcare.  As adjunctive treatment modalities, I find it  valuable to work with nutrition, auricular acupuncture and electro-dermal screening to facilitate the healing process.
      Yet,  there still is nothing as gratifying as seeing the curative action of a well chosen homeopathic remedy, the “simillimum”.   This is what continually renews my enthusiasm: to witness the magic  of its gentle invigorating effect which awakens a person’s self-healing vital energy and restores well-being.
