NUHS Homeopathy Instructors Launch New Ebook
Monday, April 20, 2015
Timothy Fior, MD, and co-author
Dr. Francine Burke, teach the Homeopathy III course in National
University's naturopathic medicine program. They recently launched
a new 527-page e-book on iTunes titled, "Essentials of Homeopathic Medicine."
New technology on iTunes has allowed Dr. Fior to combine color
photos, video and the entire package of course materials and
handouts used in his NUHS course. "While I initially wrote it with
my class in mind, anyone who wants to learn the nuts and bolts of
homeopathy could benefit from it," he says. "It's really a primer
on how to apply homeopathic remedies to patient care. It covers the
taking of patient histories as well as case analysis and
management. In addition, we go over the 13 polychrest remedies that
form the foundation of homeopathic medicine."
Dr. Fior also says that the e-book offers great advantages over
print books: "You can download a free 15-page sample to review, and
any future updates or added materials will be automatically
accessible for those who purchase the book on iTunes."
Dr. Fior, a family practice physician, has been working with
homeopathic medicine for 27 years. He is the past president
and current vice president of the Illinois
Homeopathic Medical Association. He is now part of the Lombard Center for Integral Health, a local
group practice that specializes in homeopathic medicine. The
practice also boasts fellow faculty member Joel Sheppard, MD, and
NUHS grad Simona Ciobanu, ND ('10) and a fourth practitioner, Arup
Das, MD.
"Dr. Fior has successfully combined education on a traditional
medicine that is centuries old with the latest in e-book
technology. We're proud that our naturopathic medicine
program offers the expertise of notable leaders in homeopathic
medicine, such as Dr. Timothy Fior and Dr. Francine Burke," says
NUHS President Joseph Stiefel. "We congratulate them on this
tremendous accomplishment."
