Vithoulkas Image from the International Academy of Classical Homeopathy Web Site http://www.vithoulkas.com from where this information is mainly provided George Vithoulkas is the founder of modern homeopathy. Although often viewed as controversial, homeopathy is based on Hippocrates’ quote “Treat similar ailments with similar means”. Many patients with chronic diseases claim they have greatly benefited from homeopathy, which uses minuscule amounts of organic substances or natural elements to stimulate the patient’s immunity. He has established Homeopathy in Greece as a science respected by the medical profession, and has also made Greece one of the leading centers for homeopathy in the western world. Vithoulkas' books, "Homeopathy: Medicine of the New Man” written for lay people, and “The Science of Homeopathy” for health professionals, have been translated into twenty languages, and have had a profound influence upon the acceptance and practice of homeopathy worldwide. He has been an international teacher of classical homeopathy for 20 years. In the year 1996, he was awarded the Alternative Nobel Prize for his work in the field of Classical Homeopathy. George Vithoulkas was born in Athens in 1932. He is married and lives on the island of Alonissos, Greece. He started studying homeopathy in South Africa in 1960 and he continued his studies in India in various homeopathic colleges. George Vithoulkas has been teaching Classical Homeopathy since 1967.
His enormous contributions have helped to reestablish Classical (Hahnemannian) Homeopathy in Europe and in the U.S. this century. It is due to his clear interpretation of Samuel Hahnemann's writings (the Father of Classical Homeopathy) that students are able to appreciate the effect of Classical Homeopathy today. In 1967 he began to teach Homeopathic Medicine to medical doctors in Athens, a science which was almost unknown at that time in Greece. Main Achievements and Interviews/Speeches

HOMEOPATHY - MEDICINE OF THE NEW MAN HOMEOPATHY - MEDICINE FOR THE NEW MILLENNIUM THE SCIENCE OF HOMEOPATHY MATERIA MEDICA VIVA A NEW MODEL FOR HEALTH AND DISEASE TALKS ON CLASSICAL HOMEOPATHY ESSENCE OF MATERIA MEDICA HOMEOPATHIC CONFERENCE ESALEN THE BERN SEMINAR THE CELLE SEMINARS Part from an Interview Reported by Peter Morell
"I claim that diseases of the human race have never been tackled properly by conventional medicine; on the contrary, they have been treated wrongly - suppressively - and therefore while the symptoms were masked, the real disorder underneath progressed and finally was pushed to the interior of the organism, which is the central and peripheral nervous system. "Let me give you just a few facts to judge for yourself: Multiple sclerosis, a disease that eventually leaves its victims totally paralyzed, is one which thousands of people are suffering from in the western world. Yet it is entirely unknown to Africans, Asians or South Americans, who have not had the 'benefit' of the excellence of western medicine. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a terrible disorder of the neuromuscular system, is also unknown to all these people. Myopathy and muscular dystrophy is the same, known only to westerners. Epilepsy, which is rampant in the western world, is seldom encountered in these countries. "Anxiety neurosis, compulsive neurosis, and in general mental disorders of a severe nature from which millions of patients are suffering in the western world, are almost unknown in these groups that have not had the 'benefit' of modern medicine and vaccinations. Chorea and a host of other nervous system disorders are also unknown to them. "The model suggests that all these chronic diseases, including hay fever, asthma, cancer and AIDS, are the result of wrong intervention upon the organisms by conventional medicine. It claims that the immune systems of the western population, through strong chemical drugs and repeated vaccinations, have broken down and finally admitted the diseases deeper and deeper into the human organism, to the central and peripheral nervous system. "In short, this model claims that conventional medicine, instead of curing diseases, is actually the cause of the degeneration of the human race. It is also very simple for anyone to think that if conventional medicine were really curing chronic diseases, today we would have a population in the west that was healthy, mentally, emotionally and physically. "Due to this model, I had already, in 1970, predicted the appearance of AIDS, saying to a group of medical doctors in Athens that if conventional medicine continued to use antibiotics the way it did, there would come a time when the immune system would break down and new incurable diseases would emerge. It was an unfortunate but precise and timely prediction of the appearance of AIDS. "Today, I want to make another prediction. If conventional medicine does not take notice of what we say and drastically change its practices and its logic in treating with chemical drugs; if it does not also change the direction of its research, soon diseases will go to the very center of the organism, which is the nervous system, and most of the population on earth will be mentally ill individuals." http://www.ekathimerini.com/4dcgi/_w_articles_ell_2_24/04/2008_95893 http://www.ekathimerini.com/4dcgi/_w_articles_ell_2_24/04/2008_95892
