The final primary question in choosing a course is will this particular course (note this does not mean college!) suit me and my learning and career needs? You should consider the following when making your choice.

If you make choices that are based on secondary factors rather than primary factors then you are likely to end up on the wrong course. The problem is people think all colleges are basically the same and therefore base their decisions on secondary factors such as location, venue, reputation, cost, individual tutors, friends etc. Remember that choosing the wrong college and having to change can be expensive – training to be a homeopath can cost in excess of £10,000 and wasting a year on the wrong course will not only demotivate you but be expensive as well.

Some of the major causes of developmental and behaviour disorders such as obsessive –compulsive gambling are: Diet, drugs, alcohol, shocks, behavioural problems of children due to parenting problems.

It is now generally recognised that people who have psychological disorders are suffering from physical imbalances of the brain; as well as disturbances in thinking, emotion, and behaviour. These disorders are often caused by the complex interactions between physical, psychological, social, cultural, and hereditary influences. An ‘addiction’ to gambling could be seen as one of these disorders and therefore would fall under the remit of the NHS as it stands today.

The NHS has become a tool of the pharmaceuticals - creating a market is what modern drug research is all about. What better way to increase profits than to corner a market where no individual has to pay but The Government (i.e the taxpayer) has to keep digging deeper to support a National Sickness Service. Many people still believe that medicine (and hence the NHS) is a noble pursuit, dedicated to curing humankind’s ills. But the reality is that ‘cure’ is passé. According to expert ‘We sometimes joke that when you’re doing a clinical trial, there are two possible disasters. The first disaster is if you kill people. The second disaster is if you cure them. The truly good drugs are the ones you can use chronically for a long, long time.’

Gambling can be seen as harmless fun, an interesting leisure pursuit, morally reprehensible or a serious mental health issue depending on the actions of the individual and the effects those actions have on that person and those around them. Addiction is defined as the disruptive behaviour or activity associated with something that that a person is dependent on – gambling, alcohol, drugs, eating disorders etc Addiction generally interferes with the ability to work, study, or interact normally with family and friends.

The UK govenment continues to pour untold billions into a failed NHS system – Robinsons recipe is to bring in a breed of super managers who can hold there own with the consultants and the Unions – lets manage our way out of it – at more expense of course!

Be aware that there are about 25 courses in homeopathy but that they are all completely different and have very different standards. You should be careful to compare like with like e.g. degree course with other degree courses.

What do Homeopaths do? Homeopathy is both a complementary and alternative medicine. Around 3,500 homeopaths practise in the UK. The profile of homeopathy is rising and so opportunities are growing. As more and more people are becoming disillusioned with modern medicine approaches there is a constantly growing demand for safer alternatives to the drug and surgery based approaches. NHS clinics can now offer homeopathy alongside traditional treatments. There are also NHS Homeopathic Hospitals in London and Edinburgh.
