Hello. I'm Jude Cresswell (BHSc Homeopathy, RSHom (UK)). My new website ‘www.theonlinehomeopath.com’ is just being launched. I wrote the main body of the site in 2009, when it was called ‘help-me-natural-health.com”. That site had several thousand visitors per month and was a free information site for people around the world, although I have always strongly encouraged visitors to the site to find a local practitioner if they could.
Earlier this year I decided to update the look of the site so that I can add more current information about homeopathy and offer an online consultation service in a more formalised way. I have been running a small face to face and online practice but at a very gentle pace throughout the intervening years as I went into a less stressful career, teaching.
In January 2019 I decided to attend the course in Calcutta that I had previously attended in 1991. Dr Banerjee, his son Saptarshi and their team present well documented and analysed cases from their rural and slum clinics, following a tradition that goes back through generations of his family. When I was there I realised that I want to engage more fully with the new homeopathic community of practitioners and students, in Australia and around the world. Homeopathy is gaining more and more recognition and appreciation as a medicinal system, as the science of quantum physics comes closer and closer to understanding the homeopathic phenomenon.
