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.

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 Most clinical trials, published and unpublished, fail to demonstrate an effect in homeopathic remedies.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.

Topic: The Role of Resilience – What is it? Why it matters. How to cultivate it. The role of Naturopathic Physician provides plenty of challenges and disappointments along the way, from personal to interpersonal, from patient outcomes to financial uncertainty. To prevent burnout it is helpful to frame difficult times or situations in such a way that we learn and grow from our shortcomings and mistakes instead of being overwhelmed and discouraged by them. Having clear values and goals which guide our actions, helps. Adopting times for reflection is also important. And there is a growing body of research related to physician morale and burnout which points to resilience as an essential personal attribute for success in all the many ways success can be defined. Dr. Rothenberg will delineate specific skills, habits and attitudes that promote and sustain resilience, this key ingredient in reaching ones personal and professional goals and in preventing physician burnout.

Topic: Where the Wild Things Are – The Treatment of Challenging & Difficult Children.  Increasingly parents are met with the challenge of raising difficult children. From lack of cooperation, sensory integration disorder, ADHD, ODD, to anxiety disorders and violence, the pediatric population can offer considerable challenges to the primary care physician. Physical ailments may have a family making an appointment, but it often becomes clear that psychological and behavioral issues complicate the case and may make some of our most effective approaches difficult to implement. Dr. Rothenberg will share from her decades of experience the differential diagnosis and differential homeopathic materia medica related to treating children with challenging behavior. After discussing diagnostic criteria, Dr. Rothenberg will use case examples to clarify case taking strategies, case analysis, and key points in the treatment of this population. She will integrate advice you can share with parents and basic parenting techniques known to be effective for the more difficult children in our practices.

Topic: The Homeopathic Treatment of Children– Continued
Dr. Herscu’s landmark 1990 book, The Homeopathic Treatment of Children, Pediatric Constitutional Types brought to life the most common constitutional remedies for children with regard to what kinds of pathologies they might have, how they would present in the office and how they might behave both in school and at home. Based on the early years of his practice, this book broke ground by sharing narrative patient descriptions related to children; it has been translated into many languages and ushered in the birth of a more predictive practice of homeopathic pediatrics. In the ensuing years of patient care, teaching and writing, Dr. Herscu has developed a nuanced grasp and a working understanding of many other remedy types in children. He will lecture on the comparative materia medica of some of the less understood remedies, and focus especially on how we see these young patients manifest in the clinic. This lecture will help expand the ability of practitioners to choose effective remedies for some of our most challenging pediatric cases. Most specifically, Dr. Herscu will focus on remedies that share many symptoms, making their differentiation difficult, and will illustrate a method that helps to make each medicine distinct.
