What a great opportunity the participants of the International Hahnemann Congress have to learn from the experiences of the greatest homeopathic physicians in the world, and to discuss these with them!


You will certainly receive good advice at this Congress, even pick up some 'tricks', which can help you in your efforts and will hopefully stay with you! Despite its long history, homeopathy has remained alive and open to completely new methods. In order to communicate this I consider nothing better than case reports. Our memory best remembers stories. It would be even better - and that might well be planned already -
if the lectures were to be published in a book form at a later date. In this way, also those, who cannot attend the Congress for health reason (this is my case), can still learn something from it. The reason is that one cannot use homeopathy like a cookbook. One has to internalise the remedies so that, when faced with the choice of
three or four remedies in a case of disease, one can visualise the remedy and compare it with others. It is a kind of intuition, but which is based on intensive and continued learning. So I welcome you all, with the fond wish, that the participants as well as the 'teachers' may spend three wonderful days of learning and teaching
together, and that you may return with renewed vigour to your work - the most interesting and most beautiful profession in the world - homoeopathy.

Yours
