How to Learn Homeopathy - Homeopathic Software

by Dana Ullman, MPH ©2006

Homeopathy is PERFECT for the computer era!  The incredible mass of information about the thousands of homeopathic medicines can easily to stored and access through various sophisticated and yet simple software programs.

We have some very simple software programs for learning to treat yourself and your family for common acute ailments, including (in increasing levels of sophistication and range of use):

• Akiva (This program has an interactive question and answer for each of 64 conditions. Akiva gently guides you to the most indicated remedies. The questions have been carefully prepared to provide a detailed and thorough homeopathic consultation. Homeopathy is the science and art of individualization. Now, with Akiva, you have an advisor that helps you do this!
• The Homeopathic Resource (this is now a FREE CD-ROM that is available when you order The Complete Homeopathic Resource by Dennis Chernin, MD, MPH
• AtamA Software (This computer program is a great tool for people who are interested in improving the accuracy of selecting the best homeopathic medicine for someone in their family (or friends).  It is not for the total beginner to homeopathy. It is for someone who already knows something about homeopathic principles and casetaking (interviewing of the sick person), and it is for people who want a computerized version of Kent's REPERTORY...plus some other useful books.)
• Hompath Software (This software is an truly excellent learning tool and resource for people who are serious students or practitioners of homeopathy.  This "package" of CD-ROMs are beautifully designed and FULL of good information and insights about homeopathic medicines and homeopathic methodology.

To be honest however, these introductory software programs do not hold a candle to the truly impressive expert system programs that are now available.  These programs will improve the accuracy of prescribing homeopathic medicines, and they will even increase the speed in which practitioners can prescribe the correct remedy. 

The first thing that you need to know about the three leading professional-level programs that we sell is that there is no "bad" program here.they are all EXCELLENT.  Also, each of these programs are continually updated and made even better.

We generally recommend that you consider getting a repertory program first, and then, get a program that includes the various materia medica.  Generally, get the most sophisticated program that you can afford, but don't fret because you can usually upgrade for the simple cost difference between what you spent and what the price of the new program is.

Please note that we often have special SALES on these programs, and because we represent each of the manufacturers, we honor whatever sales that they have.

STATEMENT ABOUT DANA ULLMAN, MPH, by DAVID ANICK, MD, PhD., Harvard School of Medicine: 

"You are the Jon Stewart of homeopathy, the way you combine information ("gee I didn't know that!") with humor.  And you avoid defensiveness, which is terrific."
