My Journey in Homeopathy is a collation of interviews, articles, histories, characters, cases, remedies, practice audits, discussions and book reviews published by Francis Treuherz over many years, in a valuable single document.

This is a unique book in the annals of homeopathic publishing, a record of part of one homeopath's output. It is a book that reflects the experience of an internationally recognised contributor to the growth of homeopathy through books and, more relevant in our global age, through the computerisation of repertory and materia medica, since the 1980s.

The subtitle Much Ado About Nothing reflects Francis' sense of humour - this book is his invitation to travel through the challenges of homeopathic living and being, in a world continuously confronted by the very notion of its existence

Francis Treuherz's Journey in Homeopathy

Francis Treuherz MA, FSHom, originally a social scientist, first heard of homeopathy in the 1970s and became a quick convert, studying in London, at the new College of Homeopathy, while simultaneously lecturing at London University. By 1984 he was in full-time practice. Former Editor of the Society of Homeopaths' journal for 10 years, and a Board member for over 20 years, his journey in homeopathy has seen him working in an NHS practice, effective on the homeopathic helpline, bringing computer repertories to homeopaths, writing books, articles and book reviews, and being a trustee of the British Homeopathic Association and the Homeopathic Action Trust. An incurable collector of homeopathic artefacts, his homeopathic library contains more than 12,500 books.

A Man of kindness, enthusiasm and huge sense of humour, Francis marks his 80th birthday in 2021 with this book - a celebration of his life's work in homeopathy.

I have never forgotten Francis Treuherz coughing his way through La lecture one weekend back in September 1985. It was not an ordinary materia medica lecture read from a book, rather an engaging delivery of different remedies with their characteristic coughs. He created a live experience that I have never forgotten.

Lectures with Francis (Fran) Treuherz, Homeopath Extraord- inaire, were fascinating. He taught a reality based on his practice, not only his wins and successes but also his failures and mistakes. He left his students with a sense that they were learning and growing as he was learning and growing. It was an embracing inspiring learning experience rather than the prevalent teaching methodology of the time that delivered weighty, soon forgotten 200 year old details.

What you have in your hands is a book that reflects the experience of an internationally recognised contributor to the growth of homeopathy since the 1980s. The title My Journey in Homeopathy ~Much Ado About Nothing~ reflects Fran's sense of humour - this book is his invitation to travel through the challenges of homeopathic living and being. It is an opportunity to benefit from the observations, contemplation and meaning-making of an accomplished homeopath who nurtured the flame of homeopathy in a world continuously challenged by the very notion of its existence.

Fran essentially found comfort, delight and inspiration in the development of everything homeopathic, presenting it with refreshing immediacy, thereby helping create our modern homeopathic world.
