MODULE ONE: Epistemology: Theory of Knowledge - The Basis of Functional Learning
     Bacon and the Birth of Modern Science
     Goethe and Newton
     Functional Thinking
     Two Ways of Knowing

The process of learning is critical to your ability to become an effective practitioner. Heilkunst depends on the development of your various organs of knowledge, tapping into your power of intuition, imagination and inspiration on the basis of scientific principles, so that you can increase your powers of observation and assessment. Current methods of learning are too intellectual and abstract and are not grounded in nature. This Module provides you the solid basis for extracting the maximum benefit from the succeeding Modules. You will be challenged to change your way of seeing nature, health and disease that amounts to what Thomas Kuhn called a "paradigm shift," or a new way of looking at both old and new facts to gain new knowledge.


MODULE TWO: The Basic Principles of Homeopathy and Heilkunst
     Law of Similars and Law of Opposites
     Similar and Dissimilar Diseases
     Provings
     Artificial and Natural Disease
     Constant and Variable Diseases
     Dynamic Nature of Disease
     Wesen and Geist
     Dual Nature of the Living Principle
     Hahnemann and the Natural Healing Power
     Initial and Counter-action

This Module introduces you to the basic concepts and principles underlying the practice of Homeopathy and Heilkunst. These concepts provide you with the foundation for the more intensive and extended exploration provided in subsequent Modules.


MODULE THREE: Hahnemann's Discovery of the Dynamic Nature of Disease
     Historical Study of the Development of the Principles of Homeopathy and Heilkunst

In this Module you will be guided through the fascinating historical development of the basic principles of Homeopathy and Heilkunst (using the original texts), thus providing you with a concrete foundation and an appreciation for the logic, timelessness and consistency of these principles and their development out of Hahnemann's direct observation of nature. In particular, the module contains the most complete explanation to date of the development of the dual remedy concept, which underlies much of the content of subsequent modules and is critical to the proper application of medicine.


MODULE FOUR: Disease - A Comprehensive View
     Hahnemann's Disease Categorisation
     Two Ways of Identifying Disease
     State and Condition
     True Diseases and False Diseases
     Disease Origins and Dimensions
     Temporality of Disease
     Members of the Human Being
     Self-Limiting and Protracted Diseases
     Natural Diseases and Spiritual Diseases

The first responsibility of the true physician is to identify disease. This requires a profound appreciation for, and knowledge of, what actually constitutes a true disease. This Module provides you with a systematic exploration and exposition of the structure of disease to that end and provides the underpinnings for the later study of effective means of treating disease, as well as of the various homeopathic remedies and medicines used (Materia Medica).


MODULE FIVE: The Pathic Approach to Identifying Disease (Homeopathy)
     Totality of Characteristic Symptoms of a Given Disease
     Disease Gestalt and Disease Image
     Complex and Totality
     Disease Condition
     Repertories
     Kent's Repertory
     Boenninghausen's Repertory
     Repertoristion
     Computer Repertories

In this Module you will learn how to identify and treat disease by looking at the totality of characteristic symptoms of a given disease (pathic or variable Wesen diseases, on which much of traditional homeopathic prescribing is based) and the benefit and limitations of this method. The Module covers the use of the various homeopathic repertories developed to analyze the patient's case in terms of their disease image, the differences between the repertories (when each is most effective), as well as an introduction to the main computer repertories and how they are used.


MODULE SIX: The Tonic Approach to Identifying Disease
     Disease Nosology
     Elements of Disease: Feeling, State, Impression, Sensation
     Dimensions of Disease
     Genesis of Disease
     Typology

This is one of the most ignored or undeveloped aspects of Hahnemann's system of remediation, involving the tonic diseases (of constant Wesen, meaning there are constant remedies for these constant diseases). Knowledge of these diseases provides you with an extremely powerful tool to ascertain these deeper diseases, often lying latent in the human organism, and then to quickly identify the relevant remedy for that disease. Prescribing in complex cases is made easier and treatment effectiveness is greatly enhanced by your knowledge of the tonic diseases and the remedies that cure them.
