I often get requests for referrals to good homeopaths. While there are
many good practitioners out there, I don't know them all. However, I know
a few people I studied with at the ESSH School of Homeopathy. If the list
below does not provide you with a practitioner near you, check out the referral
sources provided in the Links section of the web site.
Many practitioners in states with repressive medical boards and no health
freedom laws are reluctant to be listed for fear of prosecution. I will
provide their names on request if you
email me.
The following people have received a diploma from the ESSH school, which, in
my opinion, certifies them as the best homeopaths around. There are two
levels of ESSH certification:
CTHom (Certified Trained Homeopath): This is a diploma
given by ESSH School of Homeopathy in Flagstaff, AZ, to students demonstrating a
certain degree of mastery in classical homeopathy. I have a heavy personal
bias in favor of this title. I believe its bearers are some of the best
homeopaths available.
MHom (Master of Homeopathy): This
diploma is given by ESSH School of Homeopathy to those mastering Homeopathy on a
very high level. This title is given by the teacher when he considers the
student qualified. There is no exam of any sort. The only prerequisite is
having the previous level diploma (CTHom). In my biased opinion, there is no
higher qualification in the world today.

Other titles:
DHt (Diplomate of Homeotherapeutics): Given by
the American Institute of Homeopathy to medical doctors passing their exam.
The AIH is the oldest organization of physicians in the US, predating the AMA.
In fact, the AMA was originally founded in response to the threat perceived by
the allopathic (conventional) doctors of the time, from homeopaths forming a
national organization.
DHANP (Diplomate of Homeopathic Academy of Naturopathic
Physicians): As the name implies, this is a title similar to DHt
given by the naturopathic board.
DNBHE (Diplomate of National Board of Homeopathic Examiners):
This one may sound a bit misleading. It is awarded by a group of
chiropractic homeopathic educators to practitioners passing their exam.
MFHom (Member of the Faculty of Homeopathy): Given by the
Faculty of Homeopathy, the British equivalent of the AIH, to doctors passing
their exam. This title is recognized by medical authorities throughout
European Community and other countries having historical ties to the United
Kingdom. The Faculty runs a fairly intensive educational program
attracting doctors from all over the world.
FFHom (Fellow of the Faculty of Homeopathy): Awarded to doctors
holding the title of MFHom and showing certain extra achievement, particularly
in the area of homeopathic education.
RSHom(NA) (Registered with Society of Homeopaths (North
America)): Given by NASH (North American Society of Homeopaths). NASH
accepts only non-licensed practitioners as members and this title signifies the practitioner's passing of membership requirements which include demonstrating
proficiency in classical homeopathy. This title was originally modeled on
RSHom of Great Britain.
CCH (Certified in Classical Homeopathy): Given by CHC (Council
for Homeopathic Certification), a fairly new board trying to unite all these
different groups under a common umbrella. This title certifies that the
practitioner, regardless of their licensure status, passed a minimum competency
exam in classical homeopathy. The interesting new twist added by this
board is a medical portion of the exam required for all non-medically licensed
applicants. This is the first attempt in modern history of homeopathy in
this country to make sure the practitioner possesses a certain minimum of
conventional medical knowledge in addition to proficiency in homeopathy.
