			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Homeopathic Remedies , Case-taking &amp; nutrition</strong></p>
<p><strong>A Workshop with Brenda Coller, Msc., I.S.Hom – Dublin venue</strong></p>
<p><strong>For less than the cost of a GP visit come and learn how to treat yourself and your loved ones safely and effectively in a natural way, creating health and wellness.</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Sunday 4<sup>th</sup> September at Milltown Park College</strong></p>
<p><strong>€50 this fee is waived if you enrol for our professional training course</strong></p>
<p>Our next series of introductory workshops will take place in September at Dublin, Cork and Galway venues – please find attached booking form if you would like to attend the Dublin workshop.  Brenda Coller is a practitioner in Donard, Co Wicklow and also a lecturer with the school and has prepared a very inspiring day for you.  At the end of this workshop you will be able to select homeopathic remedies for many acute ailments from you local health store or pharmacy.  Prepare yourself for this winter and get stocked with remedies for those winter ailments such as coughs, colds flu and much more for yourself and family.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Creating Health &amp; Wellness:</strong> This workshop will cover essential homeopathic philosophy and principles of homeopathy:  and a major part of the day is learning how to use a homeopathic repertory which is a major tool in finding the correct remedy in acute cases.  There will also be a Master class in practical case taking and acute home prescribing for both adults and children’s ailments. Tissue salts and nutrition are also addressed at this workshop.  There is also a workshop taking place in Cork Sept 25<sup>th</sup> and in Galway September 11<sup>th</sup> – email for programme and booking form for Cork/Galway.</p>
<p><strong>The Four Year Part-Time Professional Training Course in Homoeopathy commences Sept 17/18 Dublin</strong></p>
<p>If you have applied to do this professional course then the workshop fee is waived or you will receive a refund of the 50euro workshop fee if you have already attended.  Next interviews take place in mid-August in Dublin for final available places.  If you require further information regarding our professional course and short course – please ring or email <a href="mailto:info@ish.ie">info@ish.ie</a> for a programme syllabus and booking form.</p>
<p><strong>Homeopathy and Nutrition Short Course &#8211; 6 Weekends commences February 2012 in Dublin:   Cork Short course commences November 2011</strong></p>
<p>The first weekend of this short course is essential in laying the groundwork in homeopathy philosophy, methodology and acute practice; and understanding the homeopathic view of health and disease; it is very similar but one day is all to short for the amount of information you need for safe and competent acute prescribing – therefore we developed the short course in response to participants requests.  The 6 weekends will expand further on acute home prescribing for men and women’s health, children’s health, first-aid remedies and seasonal acute remedies.  We will also introduce you to a nutrition module and guide you through nutrition from its basic science through to a holistic approach to nutrition in modern day living.  All the major food groups, minerals/vitamins and nutrients are explored with their functions, sources &amp; imbalances.  We will explore and discuss the important factors which maintain or contribute to a state of disease and how these causes of ill health are connected to our nutrition, lifestyle and environment.  We will give you guidelines on how to redress imbalances in our diet and lifestyle due to toxins in our food and environment and choices.   You will also be introduced to constitutional treatment and constitutional remedies in homeopathy which boosts the immune system and reduces susceptibility to disease.  Master classes in case-taking and repertory work are essential elements in this course.  This is a very practical, informative and enjoyable course which will benefit you and your loved ones.  <strong> Suitable as an introduction to homeopathy or a follow-up to our 1 day workshops €40 refund if you have attended a workshop.  If you wish to provisionally book for this short course please email the office.</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require further information regarding homeopathy and our courses or our patient clinic.</strong></p>
<p>Best wishes,<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Welcome to The Irish School of Homeopathy where we offer the highest quality homeopathic education in Ireland. Our school has been established for over twenty years and enjoys an excellent international reputation. Our professional training course will  not only give you the knowledge, skills and competence to practice  professionally it will also provide you with the practical tools to set  up in practice.

<p><span id="more-99"></span></p>
<p>Homeopathy is both a science and an art and embodies what we envision  as a truly twenty-first century medicine. Homeopathy is a sustainable  healing system that respects the wisdom of the body and recognises that  symptoms of ill health are expressions of imbalance in the whole person.</p>
<p>Homeopathy works and it does so in both a gentle and effective way.  It is a system that uses minute doses of medicine to stimulate the  patient&#8217;s own healing responses and individualises these according to  the totality of the patient&#8217;s physical emotional and mental symptoms.  Homeopathy is a truly holistic and sustainable system of medicine that  seeks to restore the patient to health in the gentlest, most effective  and permanent way possible. The restoration of a patient&#8217;s health is  realised according to clearly established and proven homeopathic  principles.</p>
<p>Our School has been providing homoeopathic education in Dublin since  1989 and we also have a School in Cork City since 2000. Our professional  training course is the first course in Ireland to be accredited by the  Irish Society of Homeopaths. This means that when you graduate from our  course you are eligible to become a professionally registered homeopath.  Please see the education and training section of the Society&#8217;s website  on our &#8220;links&#8221; page.</p>
<p>We pride ourselves on the quality of our courses and on our  commitment to our students. While there are other courses in homeopathy  there are none who provide the same level of day to day support for  students from both our administration staff, our tutors and also our  supervisors.  Please click on the tabs on this page for more details  about the School .</p>
<p>As well as providing professional training for those who wish to  practice Homeopathy we are also committed to the education of the  general public in the safe and competent use of acute remedies for home  prescribing at our workshops and seminars. Please see our section on  &#8216;Homeopathy Simplified&#8217; for more information about the philosophy of  homeopathy and the homeopathic view of health and illness</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Myth &#8211; It is a form of herbalism:</strong></p>
<p>While a proportion of homeopathic remedies are based on plants and  the herbalist prescribes on the individual, the principles that govern  the two therapies are quite different. Also homeopathic remedies are not  used in the material dose (therefore are non-toxic); nor are they based  solely on plants, also using as they do animal milks and venom, metals,  minerals, and disease products.</p>
<p><strong>Myth &#8211; It is a form of vaccination:</strong></p>
<p>Often people say that they understand homeopathy to be like a  vaccination in that the patient is given a small quantity of the disease  he already has in order to make him immune to it. This is not true.  Homeopathy and vaccination have similar, not the same, concepts and very  different practices. Vaccines work on the physical body in a very  specific way, in that they stimulate the immune system directly to  produce specific antibodies as if that person had contracted that  particular disease; in so doing they are, of course, stressing the  immune system. Homeopathic remedies affect the energy patterns or the  vital force of a person and by so doing stimulate the body to heal  itself, they are administered orally in a diluted and safe dose as  opposed to being introduced directly into the bloodstream. The remedies  are not tested on animals and do not have side-effects.<br />
