Testimonials

"Miasms " was a very interesting lesson and the assignment was designed in such a wonderful spectrum- giving field for research on various aspects of the miasmatic diseases. Really well designed course. So proud to be student of The British Institute of Homeopathy! Homeopathy is so wonderful - it has no limits, no boundaries, as long as you are having an open mind. Whatever mother nature had created or given to human kind is already medicinal and curative enough.

This has been a wonderful course, and I thank you for making it so. As I said before, I'm rather sad that it has come to a close.

Thank you for grading my Thesis and I am so pleased that you found it worthy of the grade you gave. I enjoyed researching the subject of LM's more thoroughly, and I appreciate your patience in helping me submit a better paper--more of one that the British Institute would find acceptable. I love homeopathy, and everything I have learned I have to give credit to the British Institute's fine training and excellent tutors. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with you and all of the BIH staff over the past 10 years, and I most likely will continue to take additional courses to round out my training in the next few years. I will always highly recommend this school. Thank you for all of the work you do.

After working with your students for the past few weeks in the Virtual Clinic program, I must say that I am impressed with the quality of the training for your students. In the cases that students have been viewing and writing analysis for, I am seeing a good, clear understanding of the basic homeopathic concepts, and a strong grasp of Materia Medica keynotes and themes. The students are very conscientious in their work and are learning quickly in refining their case analysis skills. They ask relevant, incisive questions, and are open minded in their responses. Keep up the good work!

As someone with prior background in homeopathy, I researched the field for a program that would facilitate independent learning in Classical Homeopathy, with the incorporation of new insights and flexibility in its practice. At BIH, I found all the above and much more. This is an excellent program affording one the opportunity to exchange ideas with first-rate [instructors] and practitioners. Thanks again for your contribution to my growth and inspiration as a homeopath.

The [instructors] are excellent at BIH, not only the teaching staff but the administration of BIH is also very helpful and they are always there to help you. I have a superb [instructor] and superb Registrar. I am proud of BIH.

I have now finished the Course and find I did so with some reluctance. It has been an enjoyable, rewarding experience. Thank you for your encouraging remarks.

I am finding my coursework thus far to be fascinating and I am so glad that I chose BIH and specifically homeopathy. I feel quite confident that I've found my niche!

Geralyn D.

I've had two [instructors] who have been great. When I ask a question I always got an answer in a timely fashion. My tests are marked quickly and sent back with extensive notes so I can learn more about what I might not have fully understood. I've been dragging my feet with my course and when I emailed my [instructor] she gave the appropriate butt kick and I'm back at it to finish my diploma.

Just wanted to let you guys know the Clinic was terrific. I also notice the changes over time; I have been to all of them (except the very first one). They are really focused […] As a student I am overwhelmed by the amount of information I have to learn, and from the immense variety of sources. It is helpful to know that I am learning the Hahnemannian method as a foundation and can add other methodologies as I improve my skills.

Kathleen H.
USA

My [instructor] kicks my behind, she makes me pay careful attention, gives me a lot of feedback, and I feel gets the learning point across. She does so much more then grades my paper, and is very meticulous in showing the errors of my ways in my research papers and in my tests. I have had to work very hard for my post doc, but each time I use me feedback to grasp Homeopathy in a very deep and hard wired understanding. I would recommend BIH as it is superior to the others.

Dr. Dennie Dorall

Before joining BIH I've been looking for a very long time for distant courses in homeopathy which include a personal [instructor] for each student and supervision that goes far beyond the standard answers for multiple choice questions. BIH is unique with this concept. Even here in Germany there is not any distant course which can compete in this respect and with the quality of the course in general. Meanwhile I've finished several courses with BIH and I always had the luck to have a personal [instructor] of whom I thought I could not have a better one.

It has always been a great pleasure for me to study the [Advanced Studies in Homeopathy] course with the Institute and I am very thankful to you for your kind and considerate help in tutoring. I will always feel indebted to your Institute for the wealth of knowledge it contains in all the different lessons and for the easiness to comprehend them - even very elaborate themes. I truly enjoyed so much every one of the wonderful test papers, because of the active participation you request as a challenge to the student. I can honestly tell you that it was presented in a well organized and systematized manner which is lacking in even today's homeopathic literature.

Taking your Pathology course helped me pass my health sciences portion of the CHC test. Thanks so much for your encouragement and attention during my studies. I especially appreciate your therapeutic insights that you were kind enough to share with me.

Kristen S., CHom., CCH

I had a wonderful time with your lessons and did a tremendous amount of research and gained some invaluable insights. I appreciate the way you approach homeopathy and feel that this is exactly what I was hoping to gain from your school. I had researched a lot of programs and happily decided yours was the best.
