Other Upcoming Conference and Speaking Engagements in the US:
August 15, 2023: Dr. Paul Herscu will present a talk for the HANP (Homeopathic Academy of Naturopathic Physicians) from 8-9:30pm (ET).
Topic: Developing more Successful Research in Homeopathy, and Other Topics that Impact Clinical Practice
Course Description: This presentation provides a discussion and framework for tackling problems in clinical trial design, which are intimately related to clinical practice; the problems being two faces of the same coin. Participants will gain an understanding of how to recognize personal assumptions they have in their clinical practice, and see how these same assumptions lead to failed studies. Some concepts will be discussed and exemplified by published trials and by short case descriptions. This will be followed by a Question and Answer segment.
More reasons ‘why’: Classical homeopathy is in decline around the world. Much of this has to do with assumptions of what homeopathy is, how to practice it, and how to test it. Most clinical trials, published and unpublished, fail to demonstrate an effect in homeopathic remedies. Science excels by creating a statement of potential fact, and then attacking it from many angles to test the veracity of that claim. When homeopathic studies fail, there is a reason for it: faulty assumptions. Those faulty assumptions are mirrored and exist in practice. By bringing these two aspects of homeopathy together, the presenter hopes to clarify a few of the problems in assumptions in both practice and clinical trials.

November 3, 2023: Dr. Paul Herscu will speak at the New Hampshire Association of Naturopathic Doctors Annual Conference (NHAND) in Nashua, NH from 4:15-5:45pm.
Topic: Remedies that Get Left on the Shelf & How to Use them in Clinical Practice.
Some homeopathic remedies seem to get all the attention! Dr. Herscu helps attendees think about other effective, relevant remedies for general naturopathic practice. Categories of medicines discussed include: remedies with a larger sphere of influence vis a vis those with a narrower focus; the concept of using ‘acute remedies’ for chronic disease patients and using ‘chronic remedies’ for acute disease patients; and how to effectively use common remedies in patients with uncommon presentations of the remedy. This lecture is appropriate for those less inclined to use homeopathy as well as those who often incorporate the homeopathic prescription.

International Teaching Schedule:
September 30 – October 3, 2023: Dr. Paul Herscu Live Seminar/ Case Conference in Freiburg, Germany. (Seminar will be
in English without translation.)
Topic: Improving Patient Outcomes. In our four days together, we explore remedies that are very similar to our polychrests, differentiating them from each other so in the clinical setting, we have more remedies at our fingertips including wonderful effective medicines that are often overlooked. We also explore specific and essential rubrics of the repertory, using differential materia medica, to describe how people who need remedies in these rubrics actually present in practice. Our brains maintain a dynamic tension of either grouping (chunking) or fragmenting (breaking down) information we perceive from our patients or information we learn in the materia medica. This unconscious skill helps us with patient care. In this class, using patient interviews, we will work to make this process more conscious which improves patient outcomes.
