Miasm Testimonials
Brisbane seminar feedback - September 2007
* Excellent, great. I finally know what to do with the miasms - so much of the information was helpful
* Excellent. Advertisement/flyer undersold the potential of this system. I had no inkling that this system would rewrite almost everything I learned about the miasms. Sorry I left early on day two - I was meant to be somewhere else but day one was so good that I came back!! So many thanks to both presenters - fantastic content, totally absorbing and refreshingly honest and direct presentation
* Excellent seminar, very worthwhile. Grant has the best way of describing what miasms are in everyday terms that is easy for both practitioner and student to understand. I would really like to give this method a go in practice. Congratulations Grant and Louise on all your hard work and dedication towards furthering Homoeopathy
* Very well done - clear, passionate, well articulated - honest and not egotistical.
* This was an excellent seminar Grant - the most interesting and clinically useful I have attended for years. Thank-you
* I have found this extremely interesting and am looking forward to putting it into practice. I have enjoyed Grant's ease of delivery and his honesty as to how he has developed his ideas.
* Excellent. Refreshing, awakening and inspirational
* Wonderful presentation, very useful for me as a student and beginning Homoeopath
* Fantastic. Hahnemann would be proud! With this system in finding the miasm, we are already half way there in finding the remedy. Can't wait to try it.
* Excellent work. I understand that this will have subtleties but will love to try it. Very passionate presentation. Loved the side issues and philosophy. Not enough time to get through so much would have loved to have seen the positive gifts of the miasms. Loved all the cases and examples. Loved the live photo analysis. Loved the system of it - but will I be able to give away what I already hang on to?
* As a student I found this seminar interesting, understandable (thank goodness) and practical. There is no "stuffiness" about Grant and Louise, and it was thoroughly enjoyable. Wish it went for longer - so much to share with us.
* Really great information and more vision to clarify the picture of the miasms
* Back to basics - was refreshing and very accessible. Knowing the fantastic outcomes that are possible with good prescribing is inspiring and comforting
* Loved it. I am just about to finish my course so this has helped me feel that I actually have a good solid place to start.
* Riveting! I want to know more. Great introduction to something I feel I will use a lot in my future practice ….
* Great enthusiasm for a very useful concept. Grant's delivery is comfortable, right amount of lightness for the volume of dialogue. Digressions were valuable and informative ……The Method and Book
* I have recently read Appearance and Circumstance and would like to applaud you on a miasm book / theory that makes sense. Congratulations on a brilliant book (JD - Canada)
* I've just finished reading Appearance and Circumstance and want to thank you very much for the wonderful book. As a student of homeopathy, I find it very clear and solid and have no doubts I'll be using the principles in my future practice (Valerie - United States)
* I am a Homeopath practicing in Brisbane and I would like to tell you how much I have benefited from your book. I read it over Christmas and I use the Miasmatic Facial Diagnostic Chart on every new client. I am even using it on "old" clients if I feel that the treatment is not quite as successful as I would like it to be.
I am so impressed with the outcome that I can't even imagine how I ever prescribed a remedy without this tool. I absolutely love it.
I used it on my son for an acute, where he had diarrhoea with fever. I had tried just about every "diarrhoea remedy" without much success. After incorporating his facial features into the reportirisation I came up with Apis. Not quite sure how Apis would work for his diarrhoea I gave it a go. Within minutes he changed from a lethargic little boy back to my very active, fun loving boy!! Appearance and Circumstance is THE most helpful Homeopathy book I have ever read. It has simplified my job as a Homeopath and not made it even more confusing like some of the other Homeopathy books out there. I cannot thank you enough for writing it, it has given me a lot more confidence and a much higher success rate. Thank you again! (EV Queensland, Australia)
* I have just finished your work on miasmatic facial diagnosis and am most impressed. I think this could become an important tool for my practice. I share your view that a single miasm is dominant. This is an extension of Hahnemann's principle of the stronger disease driving out the weaker (single miasm) or where two diseases are of equal strength they coexist and occupy different seats in the organism (mixed miasm). (LB - Queensland, Australia)
* You have written an excellent book on the miasms with Appearance and Circumstance, and I would like to applaud you for this world first work - I agree with you one hundred percent (BW - United States)
* It is not often that one comes across a genuine new synthesis in homeopathy. Many write books and articles which attempt to forge a whole new approach, but most of these are more characterised by their inadequacies than by their genuine innovation. As such they soon lose their momentum. These ideas that Grant is uncovering are, however, rooted firmly in age-old philosophy and practice and, I think, are a genuine and incredibly valuable addition to the field of homeopathy (Ian Howden - Homśopathic lecturer - Southern Cross University)* As a practicing homoeopath I mentally categorized my patient files into 3 piles based upon the results I achieved.
- The Wow, what happened? pile.
- the good to very good pile.
- and my inevitable group of failures.
The relatively small "Wow what happened? pile" consisted of files with results that could only be described as staggering and usually done with only one dose. (and not necessarily high potency). In fact ˝ of the cases were done on one dose of a 30C. I always wondered why the results were so good in these cases and why I could not reproduce this in a lot more cases.
I was taught that prior to selecting a remedy you needed to make a miasmatic diagnosis and that the remedy selected needed to not only cover the symptoms but also the miasm. .Obviously, this is what I had done in the cases of the "wow what happened? pile". Easy said, the fact remained that in a lot of cases there was no easy way to determine the miasm and even if there was, there were very few direct links between the remedy and the miasm. Our literature is full of conflicting and confusing information in this area. Eg.From notes I took whilst in India I have written under Calc Carb in my Boericke "anti tubercular and also a deep acting anti-sycotic." Does this make Calc Carb anti tri- miasmatic? Even understanding that anti-psoric in Hahnemann's work really should be read as anti-miasmatic did not clear the confusion.
Then I came across Grants work. It acted like a piercing laser through my confusion. Using Grants method there is now a direct application of miasm to the prescription. With practice my vision and perception is improving and I am now regularly adding to my "Wow, what happened? pile." Thank you Grant. (Robyn Williams)The Seminar
* Practical, lateral thinking technique. Down to earth, useful in a non-egotistical way.
* The seminar content challenges existing concepts at the same time offering new tools and perspectives for prescribing homoeopathy in a more effective way.
* Grant Bentley was great and an excellent presentation.
* Fantastic! Crossed the t's and dotted the i's in homoeopathic prescribing for me. The seminar was necessary even though I had read the book.
* Good to have him back in 2 years for updates.. Exciting information - remedy choices easier, quicker, more accurate. Clear, logical explanation, easy to follow. Approachable.
* Grant Bentley's seminar was fascinating and stimulating. It raised my interest in homoeopathy. I would like to see him return to Perth as his research develops.
* Thanks for taking homoeopathy to a practical level
* Thank-you for a very stimulating seminar! It has excited me to start taking photos and observing facial features immediately. Anything that helps narrow down a homoeopath's fallibility is so welcome! I thought your presentation was superb. It was laid out logically and well paced. Having the book available meant that I didn't have to suffer from writer's cramp! I found you both very approachable and informative. And it was great to have an innovation coming from our own shores. I'm sure it will attract international attention if it hasn't done so already. I hope you will come back in time to update us on your techniques and insights and hopefully our WA mob can contribute some of our own observations and results. If I can learn this technique and come close to matching your results, then this seminar will have proven to be one of the best I have attended.From Wellington, NZ, September 2005
* Grant Bentley is a cool presenter in that he translates his thought in a very understandable / applicable practical way. I enjoyed his humour very much. - Amanda Beauchamp
* The seminar helped open up a new can of worms - more work. Thank s! - Rozelia Mawhinney
* No successful homeopath would be complete without being open to new ideas. - Barbara Ward
* I have been cynical about new fangled ways in homeopathy. However I can see from the cases presented that this method complements the classic repertorisation method and hope to be able to use it effectively. - Vish
* This has been such an advantage - Emma Greenslades (Student)
* Very enlightening. Grant is an excellent speaker and presents his work / cases well. Enjoyed his lighthearted, cheerful manner. - Debbie Betts (Student)
* It is the best seminar I have been to in years. Yet another way to remember the remedies in form of a colour and I like the idea of colours instead of the traditional names of miasms as well. - Elke Hahn
