CLASSICAL HOMEOPATHY
Dr. Tutt practices homeopathy in the classical way, prescribing single homeopathic remedies, using both traditional and new remedies.
She has had exciting results treating ADD, hyperactivity, depression, autism, dyslexia, auto-immune conditions, menopause, hormonal conditions, obsessive compulsive disorder, arthritis (in combination with Bowen Technique), Meniere’s disease, enuresis, eczema, psoriasis, interstitial cystitis and many other difficult conditions.
She has trained with the most prominent homeopaths of our generation: Jeremy Scherr of England, Jan Scholten of Holland, and Lou Klein of Canada. She has also studied the work of Massimo Mangliavori of Italy, Nancy Herrick of USA, Franz Vermeulen of the Netherlands, and Jonathan Shore of USA as well as the classical authors Samuel Hahemann, Kent, Boericke, Allen, Herring, Lippe and OA Julian.
Homeopathy was invented by a prominent German physician 200 years ago. He was a court physician at the top of his profession, as well as the most highly regarded pharmacist of his generation. He quit medicine altogether because he saw that the substances he was using in medicine cured the condition, but had too many severe side effects. Because he was fluent in several languages, he was able to support his family doing medical translation but he never gave up thinking about how he could improve medicine. At some point he got this idea in his head that if he diluted a medicine, he might be able to retain the curative powers of the substance and lose the toxic properties. To his amazement (and to the constant amazement of homeopathic doctors and patients ever since) he not only lost the effects but the curative effects were magnified.
There-in lies the whole secret and strength of homeopathy. The animal, plant and mineral substances used are so diluted they are completely safe, and the curative effects of each substance is increased the more it is diluted. The common dilutions used are 6C, 12C, 30C, 200C and 1M. The number shows how many times the original tincture of the substance is diluted 1 to 100 parts. Health Canada recently recognized the particular safety of homeopathic preparations potentized 12C and higher, and classified them separately from other natural health products because of this.
Dr Tutt works in the tradition of Classical Homeopathy taught by its founder Samual Hahnemann, and prescribes single remedies individualized to each patient. Hahnemann was clear from the start that the remedy must treat the disease but the choice of remedy was determined by the patient’s personality or “disposition”. Finding the individualized remedy is both an art and a science, demanding experience, advanced training, skill and the most advanced technical software available.
Homeopathic remedies are deep acting and long acting. One of the principles of prescribing is minimum dose. A single pellet of an accurate remedy will have a curative effect for up to 6 months. The most common dose is a single pellet every 1-2 months.
