PROFESSOR GEORGE VITHOULKAS

George Vithoulkas is a Greek Professor of Homeopathic Medicine who is recognized worldwide as the personality who re-established homeopathy in the 20th century.

He is the only teacher to permit students attendance at all his live cases; he explains how to take a case, analyze it, and arrive at the right decision for a homeopathic remedy. But the most important advantage for students is that they can observe follow-ups and results after the prescription.

In this way, Professor George Vithoulkas demonstrates the whole case management process, revealing thorough and empirical information concerning the application of Classical Homeopathy. This process is similar to instructions offered at conventional medical hospitals. 

Professor Vithoulkas’ knowledge comes from 60 years of tireless efforts to improve, through practice and constant research, the standards of education in order that the empirical effectiveness of the original Classical Hahnemannian Homeopathy will be recognized and accepted by Medical Universities and Medical Practitioners.
