Re-visioning Homeopathic Education: The Creation of an American Homeopathic Medical School - Todd Rowe
The creation of a homeopathic medical school in the United States is a long held dream of the homeopathic community. The Desert Institute School of Classical Homeopathy (DISCH) envisions the creation of a fouryear full time homeopathic medical school in Phoenix, Arizona. This would be an expansion of services from the three-year, part-time program that DISCH currently offers. The name of this new program would be the American Medical College of Homeopathy (AMCH).

The creation of a homeopathic medical school in the United States is a long held dream of the homeopathic community. The Desert Institute School of Classical Homeopathy (DISCH) envisions the creation of a fouryear full time homeopathic medical school in Phoenix, Arizona. This would be an expansion of services from the three-year, part-time program that DISCH currently offers. The name of this new program would be the American Medical College of Homeopathy (AMCH).
Graduates from this program would be eligible for licensure through the Arizona Homeopathic Licensing Board, as well as certification through national homeopathic certification boards. Graduates would be given the title Doctor of Classical Homeopathy (DCH) and would practice as homeopathic doctors. The school would be both licensed and federally accredited. The plan is to start the first class in February 2009.
It is our hope that the establishment of this program would be the first of several similar homeopathic medical schools within the country. We also believe that there is ample room for both part-time and full-time homeopathic education in the United States.

The Treatment of Children - Richard Pitt
There are a number of factors to be considered when treating children. These considerations have both practical and philosophical implications for wider general practice. Successful treatment of children (and adults) should be prophylactic as well as initially curative. Included is a discussion of what constitutes constitutional prescribing and indications for the most commonly used nosodes in children.
Bacillinum, a Nosode for the 21st Century - Sadhana Thakkar
Bacillinum has been one of the more under-described and under-prescribed homeopathic remedies until recently. Although Farrington and other homeopaths in the past made several references for its efficacy over Tuberculinum, it still remained obscure. In the past few years, having treated many cases successfully with Bacillinum, the clinical presentation of Bacillinum has clearly emerged to me as a distinctly different remedy. Bacillinum is prepared from the macerated lung tissue containing not just bacillus but also lung tissue in all phases including the tubercle phase whereas Tuberculinum is prepared from the glycerin extract of a pure cultivation of tubercular bacillus. Just by the nature of the preparation, one can imagine the difference between the two. While Tuberculinum reflects the perspective of the bacillus, Bacillinum is the manifestation of the intense struggle between the bacillus and the immune response of the host.
