Welcome NUNM Community
Dear NUNM Community Member,
We’re so glad you found us! We hope that you will take the opportunity to look at our NESH offerings, that your curiosity about homeopathy and how it works in the clinic is piqued, and that we have the chance to learn together. Our goal is always to have you learn to use this powerful tool in ways that streamline your efforts while ultimately being able to help those in your care.
We met on the first day of naturopathic medical school in 1982 and while we didn’t join forces immediately, we took our time to fall in love with each other, naturopathic medicine, and homeopathy. We’ve had a decades-long career where our NUNM education has served us well and we’ve had the chance to work with thousands of patients, as well as to travel the world to teach and share our perspective. All the while, we still frequently write both for health care providers and the general public.
We continue to give back to the profession and to offer our teaching to the next generation of providers. We hope you will find the elegance and efficacy of homeopathy in whatever kind of work you choose to do, and that we have the chance to learn with you sometime, somewhere, soon!
Amy Rothenberg ND, DHANP (NUNM ’86) & Paul Herscu ND, MPH, DHANP (NUNM ‘86)

Comments from the ND Community:
Thought shared by Dr. Nushka Kassem N.D, LAc (San Ramon, CA) regarding her experience in the 2022-2023 Online NESH Course:
“This course has been one of the best investments I’ve made in time and money. If you are interested in changing the world by optimizing the health of your patients, even without in person treatments, and would like a specific system that facilitates proper remedy selection, you will love this course.
(I have Doctor’s degree in Naturopathic medicine, a Masters in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry and a Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology, I have studied Classical Chinese Medicine extensively with the Daoist Master Dr. Jeffery Yuen, do a lot of kinesiology testing and treatments based on testing in my office, as well as IV therapies.)
With all of the modalities and subjects I have learned, I am finding that the homeopathic education I am receiving with Dr. Paul Herscu and Dr. Amy Rothenberg, to be life changing. You will be amazed by the effects the correct remedy will have on your patients. I have seen nothing work faster, in an incredibly comprehensive fashion (body, mind, spirit), and without side effects.”
Read how NESH ND students and alumni answered the following questions:
• Why should I consider studying homeopathy / what will it do for my future ND practice?
• What does studying with NESH offer beyond the homeopathy I’ll get or already received as part of my regular ND student curriculum?
Additional Comments from the Naturopathic Community
Few comments from the final 2022-2023 Develop Expertise in Homeopathy course evaluations:
• “I’ve had positive results for 90% of my patients with the first remedy. My practice is based on NESH because you are my first and only teachers.”
• “This was an incredible course, absolutely life riveting. I am very grateful to Paul and Amy for sharing their expertise in this life changing modality.”
• “The optional live office hours with Paul & Amy were the best addition to the NESH Course.”
• “Amy’s description of the remedies were very detailed & helped me remember the salient points.”
• “I still think Paul is the reincarnation of one of the masters!”
• “This class was excellent. I was in dire need of a refresher and additional training on case taking, remedies, potencies – basically everything that was covered.”
• “Much of my confusion about what to do and how to do it has been addressed in this course. I now have a method for organizing history intake, deciding which symptoms are important, how to organize the symptoms for analysis, and clear rules on what to do at follow-up.”
• “Interestingly some of my acupuncture treatments are effective more quickly than they used to be; and I am gradually getting more comfortable prescribing homeopathic remedies.”
• “The cycles and segments approach to eliminate the problems with our repertories and materia medica makes sense to me and gives me more confidence in homeopathy as a medical approach to help people and animals.”
Research and Clinical Studies:
We had another successful study published: Safety and Evaluation of the Immune Response of Coronavirus Nosode (BiosimCovex) in Healthy Volunteers: A Preliminary Study Extending the Homeopathic Pathogenetic Trial. We aimed to develop a bridge study between homeopathic provings and modern clinical drug discovery trials. Additionally, the findings of mild elevation of IL-6 in all the subjects are worthy of further examination as they may be linked to a measurable immune response from the remedy.
This is an exciting proof of concept study, expanding upon Dr. Herscu’s prior published work and deepening our understanding of homeopathic provings.
