The last Days and Bridging back home!

I am so happy to be back home and able to share with you my experiences. Below you can read some testimonies of the last month of clinic (video and picture)…


But first let me share with you my present intention: It is almost impossible for me to come back home without having any re-adjustment about my life and my activities. I was deeply touched and influenced by those last months living in Africa especially about the interaction with people and also by the work done in clinic. I feel like there is a part of me that will always be marked, stained by this. As if I can no longer continue living my life as a homeopath and human being the same way I was… I feel more complete and center at many levels about my self. Practicing Homeopathy medicine in this context was the most amazing learning experience I ever had. That experience strongly solidified and extended the knowledge I had but most of all, I gained from it confidence and appreciation for this powerful healing art.


In Africa most people I have treated had nothing but AIDS and poverty, yet a very positive attitude over all… I rarely saw anyone crying in clinic and if someone became emotional, it was usually me trying to hide my watery eyes behind my computer screen.

They don’t dwell in the past or futurize, just live in the now! It was really amazing for me to witness those horrid human stories shared with a very simple view of the moment.

In that sense, it was a beautiful example of the Buddhism practice/philosophy, the Here and Now, nothing less, nothing more!


As for MY Right Now here at home

I would like to create an opportunity/actions using my experiences to help in American people who are HIV positive and also those who are suffering from AIDS.

Homeopathy is the most effective complementary medicine for helping and increasing life quality of peoples affected by this disease (with or without ARV treatment).


So I would like to establish a regular clinic here in NY offering as a volunteer the same help and support I offered in Africa. I believe that the same results could be achieved here too in a different context… like the saying,

“Same Same but Different”.

So if anyone as any contact or information (a room/office, or a HIV group or AIDS association etc…) please let us know so that we can be in contact and establish this good work!



Case of an ulcer

This boy (14 years old) is not HIV he was simply suffering of a chronic ulcer on his leg since 1 year. So in the last year this ulcer affected him tremendously, constant pain, pore sleeping quality, no appetite and no joy! The only possible option from conventional medicine at that point was to perform a skin graph surgery. We looked at it and decided to prescribe Mercurius (a very good ulcer remedy). Here are the pictures! After the first day on that remedy he reported feeling better, less pain and having more joy! He also gained weight and felt stronger after a few weeks. There is 3 weeks between the 2 pictures. I heard that he is completely fine now.





Video women interview (2:52)

I asked one of my HIV/AIDS patient to testified for us about her Homeopathic treatment… See and listen what she has to say! It was raining so the sound you hear towards the end is the rain on the tin roof.



Video (4:55min.) of a HIV young man

A follow up 3 days only after taking the remedy. Because I was really concern about him hurting himself, I asked to see him for a short follow up to make sure he was on a good remedy; I usually do that 3-4 weeks after the remedy. He had vertigo with black out and fainting every day; he was cutting and injuring himself with the falls… also he had nose bleeding every day and other skin Symptoms.







Teaching in Kenya

During my stay in Tanzania, I was fortunate to have meet Marie Magre, a Dutch Homeopath who moved in Kenya nearly 3 years ago to open an Homeopathic school and clinic in Kwale (small village near Mombasa).

Marie offered me to visit and teach the 32 students (2 groups of sweet-sixteen) an introduction to the new development in homeopathy called the “Sensation” created by Dr. Rajan Sankaran. Thanks to my friends Jo Daly and Barbara Lowery who generously sent me text and power point that allowed me to accept this invitation and to teach 3 days at Marie’s school.

That school is really a dream come true, simply an amazing place and I feel bless and grateful for that great last experience in Africa.

Many thanks to Marie also to Mary and the sweet sixteen!

Check the school, a very good and inspiring project:

I would like to Thank KACA (Kilimanjaro AIDS Control Association) who without their initiative and help, this amazing experience would not have been possible.


A special Thank you to all the people who have encouraged me in many ways to accomplish this mission.


Thanks to my clinic host Engilbert who opened his house to us

Welcome Home Eric! It makes sense that you are 'marked' forever by this incredible, life-altering experience. I know that you’ll receive everything you need to create a clinic here and I hold you in high esteem as you continue to forge the path you were born to walk. Love and blessings, Hallie

I am so happy to see this this morning, Eric. I am hoping to teach yoga in Africa, too. I hope we can talk about this, so you can tell me how you arranged it.
How lovely. Beautiful work, my friend and teacher. Namaste, Mia Howard
