1. Which accomplishment/event/moment are you most proud of in your career as a Homeopath?

I am most proud of being able to take care of my family and creating a home environment that promotes an optimal healthy lifestyle. 

2. What 3 aspects of your Homeopathic education contributed the most to your success?

The collaborative learning environment of the college has thus far been the biggest influence on my success, I am still able to draw on the expertise of my mentors and my diverse collection of classmates when in need. 

The extensive clinical experience, along with the manner in which our learning clinic was conducted, helped me immensely.

The focus on the core teachings of Dr. Hahnemann have given me a constant reference when I am faced with a difficult case or I need help from the other side. 

3. Share with us a recent and successful case treated with Homeopathic Medicine.

I'm not going to get too specific, but I find that half my cases have a skin condition as a chief complaint. It is a good example of where traditional medicine has failed and provides the greatest challenges and most satisfying successes for me because the ailment is so visible. I recently had a patient diagnosed with shingles (herpes zoster) and was given a prescription from his doctors of pain killers and patience. This is a condition that can persist for over a month, it is severely itchy and burning. A dry dose of Mercurius 200C relieved the symptoms within 3 days.
