Harry van der Zee

He has been practicing homeopathy in Haren since 1987. For many years he has been teaching homeopathy around the world, the emphasis of his teaching being on recognizing themes and patterns in a patient's history, as well as on a deeper understanding of the themes and patterns in remedies.

He has specialized in analyzing the birth history of children, and has published the book Miasms in Labour and Homeopathy and Birth Trauma on the subject.

Since 1996 he is editor of Homeopathic Links, and in 2002 founded together with Corrie Hiwat the publishing house Homeolinks Publishers.

Reviews

"For me this is a brilliant book with wonderful, in depth cases about birth trauma healing and vividly demonstrating its profound effects upon life. I know a lot about this subject, as I wrote a book partly on this, yet I learnt a lot more from Homeopathy for Birth Trauma.

"The theory Harry van der Zee gives, inspired by Stanislav Grof, and directly linked to The Organon, is demonstrated by a wide variety of fascinating birth trauma case studies.

"This is homeopathy at its best, cutting edge and rooted in great cases from this millennium that we can easily relate to."

— Peter Chappell FSHom
 

"This very well researched, beautifully written book is suitably documented with several case studies, which establish the idea that the birth process could provide very useful clues for a patient's state. It gives us impetus to test the idea in our practice so that we can find yet one more area where we can look for or confirm the remedy."

—Rajan Sankaran MD
