"It is my great joy and privilege to recommend the Hudson Valley School of Classical Homeopathy. When I entered the program about five years ago, I had been a psychotherapist (LCSW) and hypnotherapist for almost 20 years and had already been using homeopathy for about 15 years. I had read the Organon, much of Kent's work, Vithoulkas, Blackie, Herscu and an assortment of others and listened to countless tapes by Whitmont.

I thought I had heard more or less all there was to hear.

But David Kramer is not cut from the same cloth. He has an acute and penetrating way of not only taking the case but of getting to the core of it in record speed. Sometimes, in watching him with a patient, I would've sworn he had some special knowing and was only asking questions for confirmation.

He was always loving, but relentless about one thing: We must SEE the patient or it doesn't matter what we repertorize. If we don't see the truth, we don't see the right symptom or the priorities and we can't get the right remedy. Garbage in, garbage out. And of course, he's right.

So, despite my own skepticism, I not only learned homeopathy with depth and understanding I never expected, I became a better therapist. Many patients - even those who have been in treatment before - have said to me with genuine surprise, "No one's ever asked me that before". Nor had I ever thought of asking those questions before attending the Hudson Valley School.

There has been a fringe benefit for me personally: Thanks to the hospitality, graciousness and generosity of David and Ilona Kramer, I've made friends I hope to know for a lifetime."
