Francis Treuherz MA RSHom FSHom

Francis has been in practice since 1984. In April 2010 he was again elected to the Board of the Society of Homeopaths. He currently works in London NW2 and at the Letchworth Centre for Healthy Living which won the CAM 2003 prize for the best complementary and alternative health centre in the UK.

He was in NHS practice from 1990 to 1993 at the Marylebone Health Centre - Dr Patrick Pietroni (1990-1993), Fitzrovia Medical Centre - the late Professor John Cohen and Dr Caroline Evans (1993-2003), (and Bounds Green Group Practice with Dr Alan Schamroth and partners from 1993-1999). He began his studies privately in the mid 1970s and then studied at the College of Homeopathy in London. There followed studies at the:

• Greek School of Classical Homeopathy with George Vithoulkas, winner of the alternative Swedish Nobel Prize for Medicine; and his star student and colleague Dr Vassilis Ghegas in Alonissos, Athens and London;
  
  
• in India with Dr Jugal Kishore, Dr Diwan Harish Chand, both physicians to the President of India and Dr HL Chitkara, editor of the famous journal Homeopathic Heritage in New Delhi;
  
  
• with Dr SP Dey, Dr S Dubey and the National Institute of Homeopathy (Hospital) in Calcutta;
  
  
• with famous author and researcher the late Dr Prakash Vakil and world renowned teacher Dr Rajan Sankaran in Bombay.
  

Francis Treuherz was a regular teacher at homeopathy schools Manchester, Helsinki, Stockholm and Prague, and a part time staffer at the University of Westminster BSc course in homeopathy.

He has also lectured in Amsterdam, Dublin, Galway, San Francisco, Seattle... He was editor of The Homeopath 1986-2003 and 2006-2010. Formerly a Board Member, Society of Homeopaths 1986-1996 and elected once again in March 2000 to the Board as Hon Secretary for 6 years. In April 2010 he was again elected to the Board of the Society of Homeopaths. He is also a Trustee of the Homeopathy Action Trust. As a prescriber in different settings, in the inner city and the suburbs, in private and public practice Francis has become a skilled homeopath who will devote as much personal attention to each distant patient as he does with those who visit his consulting room.

Francis has been a contributor and developer of MacRepertory and other special computer software for homeopathy since 1987. Since then he has used the program, promoted it, and trained hundreds people to use it in the UK, Ireland and internationally.

Until recently most homeopaths could only use a few books, and Francis has been in the forefront of the study of the literature and history of this field. During the years since 1974 he has collected more books on homeopathy than any other individual in the UK, some 8,200 volumes at the last count.. Most are in English, many are in French and German. This means that in any consultation you will be accessing the wisdom of this literature, a unique feature of his working life.

He has also done many telephone consultations with distant patients for the homeopathic helpline and this gave him the idea of consulting over the Internet. The result is this site which is his personally. There are no other sponsors.

Mr Treuherz is an acknowledged specialist in this field and has been widely published.
Various published articles, book reviews and presentations:

I am writing to encourage you to take up supervision, and to share my experience of many years of enthusiastic practice, teaching and scholarship. I trained at the College of Homeopathy in London, with post graduate work in Greece with George Vithoulkas and Vassilis Gehgas; and in India, with Subrata K Banerjea and SP Dey. I have been in full time practice since 1984 (in the NHS from 1990 to 2003).

I am a Fellow of the Society of Homeopaths, editor of our journal for the second time, and formerly Hon Secretary. I have written many articles, a research report and a book. I taught homeopathy at the University of Westminster, and also at Amsterdam, Chichester, Galway, Helsinki, London, Manchester, Prague, San Francisco, Seattle, Stockholm...

Professional supervision
I have been doing supervision and tutorials since I became a social work supervisor in 1969 and a university teacher in 1974. One of my first contributions to The Homeopath was an article on 'Feelings of a new homeopath', where I shared my experience of the tears of homeopathic practice. The day I fail to be moved by the plight of my patients is the day I shall retire. I had to learn to become the unprejudiced observer, and how to harness powerful emotions for constructive use, in the human relationships which accompany the search for the simillimum. This is always a major focus of supervision.

Second opinions
If you are in a quandary with a patient and would like another opinion you may consult by phone or email, or best of all, accompany the patient to see me for a joint consultation. Teamwork can produce a result.

Working in general practice
Discussion of my 13 years’ work in NHS primary care. I can advise you on the human and practical aspects of NHS work. The Society has published a research report, a survey of my work with 500 NHS patients which was followed up by a journal article. Copies are available.

Library research collection
I have a unique personal library of some 8200 volumes (and still growing), on every aspect of homeopathy including books and journals in French and German. I can suggest further reading. My office is a clear demonstration that Sulphur did not work. but these old and new books are a wonderful resource for my visitors. If you are working on a research project here are the books which no one else has available, from 1830 until today, from around the world, from Abrams to van der Zee.

Computer Study
Homeopathy has definitely arrived in the 21st century. You will benefit from online access to around 800 of the latest and classic homeopathic literature. If you have the programs I can help you make the best use of the amazing range of data and features in MacRepertory and ReferenceWorks.

Writing for publication
As former editor of The Homeopath for a total of ten years, and author of many reviews, clinical and historical articles and a book, I can help you plan and review your creative homeopathic writing.
