When I first met Dr. Gheorghe Jurj, many years ago, well before the time of webinars and Zoom meetings, he sent me a CD by regular mail. When I opened it, I could hardly believe my eyes. His was an approach to homeopathy practice unlike anything any practitioner ever knew, no matter their experience, whether short or very, very long. Countless times I had occasion to witness the same surprise and amazement among very experienced practitioners around the world.

When you first enter the world of Gheorghe’s practice, nothing you ever learned will prepare you for this experience. You will be challenged at every turn. Gheorghe doesn’t “lecture,” but he “puts problems,” as he likes to say. And the problems he puts are those all of us meet in real-life, everyday clinical practice. Gheorghe’s ultimate aim is not to teach you “a method,” much less a sophisticated and complex theoretical system—even though he has a doctorate in philosophy, his dissertation is precisely on the deep semiotic aspects of homeopathic symptoms.

Gheorghe will ask you “what do you see?”

In his courses, indeed, you will learn how to see in a homeopathically relevant way. Then you’ll realize that up to then you behaved as a blind pilot, steering your aircraft exclusively based on oral instructions received through a highly noisy and distorted channel.

At the same time, Gheorghe will focus on how to think in a practical, clinical way. You will learn how to integrate all possible sources of information—what the patient says, their attitude and behavior, and the incredible uniqueness of the physical manifestations of the countless homeopathic remedies.

In Gheorghe’s courses, you will not sit comfortably to listen to a lecture and note down wonderful pearls of wisdom. He will not show you “spectacular cases” he magically solved through an out-of-this-world perception. He will put you face-to-face to consultations filmed real-time. After a few minutes (yes! a few minutes!) he will tell you: “This is the case! What is the remedy?” He will then go back painstakingly, second by second, pointing out to a million of signs, symptoms, individual characteristics, you simply could not see. And he’ll explain you carefully how all this information is essentially interconnected, and thus points to one single homeopathic medicine or family of medicines.

Dr. Jurj understood, and masters like no one else the most important among Samuel Hahnemann’s teachings: to develop our capacity to observe, “refining and regulating the perceptions of the senses,” and at the same time, sharpening our faculty of judgment, while suspending all “fantastic wit and speculation.”

Let me start with my conclusion:

Dr Gheorghe Jurj is a remarkable Doctor, Homœopath and Teacher with an enormous amount of clinical knowledge to impart to our Homœopathic community. As a person he is as warm wise and knowledgeable as his smile is wide and genuine.

Now for some details:
Gheorghe is an MD practising Homœopathy in Romania for more than 30 years.
He holds a PhD in Semiotics. Semiotics is the study of how we use signs and symbols to create meaning and how that meaning is then communicated. Gheorghe has brought together Semiotics and Homœopathy in a wonderful way.
When we as Homœopaths take a case, the weight of consideration goes to the verbal expressions of the patient with perhaps some observational notes. Hahnemann says in a footnote to Aphorism 22.
“When made ill by noxious agents, our life principle cannot do anything else than express its depression caused by disturbance of the regularity of its life, by symptoms, by means of which the intelligent physician is ask for aid.”
The changes which occur in illness are a message from the vitality requesting exactly the needed remedial assistance.

Gheorghe’s teaching opens our eyes like never before. For decades he has been asking the question “how can what I Observe guide me towards a remedy.” Objective signs do not lie. He has been teaching Post Graduate courses in Homœopathy to Physicians in Romania, Spain and South America for many years. I have been asking him to bring his marvellous work to an English speaking audience and just now he has agreed.

There is so much to enjoy learning from this excellent teacher. Consider the following that he has taught in his many courses:

• What observation of the nails and finger tips might indicate Bryonia?
• What single gesture might point us towards Baryta?
• What discoloration of the foot demands Secale?
• What gesture of the hand makes us immediately think of Berberis?
• What is the gait of Conium and how is it different from Lathyrus?

Many of these are his original observations and many were excavated from the literature. He takes this art and science of non-verbal signs in Homœopathy to an unheard of level. More than this Gheorghe has over the decades made videos of his patients. An enormous video library showing the results he has achieved. He utilizes this as an excellent teaching tool allowing us to experience these meaningful signs in actual patients.

Studying with this man and this video evidence is a great clinical education.

Please do not miss this. I know I will be there.

Dr. Jurj has strenuously developed the art of patient observation, through a careful deciphering of signs, symptoms, and their meaning. His courses have complex visual components (both photo and video) which are drawn from his own practice, and are clearly, accessibly and rigorously objectified. His interpretation of symptoms, case evolution and the results he achieved are solid testimonies for his work methods and ethics.

More than 30 years of clinical, academic and international education experience set the highest standard for these courses, making them a must in the portfolio of any homeopathy practitioner, regardless of their level of experience.

Since 2004, Dr. Gheorghe Jurj has conducted over 30 seminars in Ukraine focusing on the homeopathic treatment of different pathologies in children and adults. His seminars are always held at the highest scientific level and are very informative. Upon showcasing the different cases he has worked on, most include video demonstrations that highlight the engaging nature of his method. Dr. Jurj's courses are attended by over 100 doctors, many traveling from Russia, Belarus and Lithuania to learn from his approach.

I have attended Dr. Jurj's Homeopathy courses with great interest over the last 15 years and warmly recommend them. Dr. Jurj's courses provide pragmatic benchmarks for an effective homeopathic case management. His methods bring to the forefront the significance of medical semiotics, particularly the individual visual signs, and reconsider the role of objective signs within a homeopathic practice.

I had started with the classical study of Homeopathy 12 year prior to meeting Dr. Jurj. Of all the studied methods, Dr. Jurj's was the most impactful... It was stunning to see him with children - their play, their dialogue appropriate for the child's level was followed by a precise theory. What then would follow was a translation with the accuracy of a clinical blade.

I've learned to see the patient as a person, to understand signs, and to quickly interpret the ensemble holistically. Everything was to fit, to become coherent, to flow. At the end there was no other conclusion to be reached and no other remedy to be prescribed... I learned to prescribe correctly because I have learned to focus on signs, and figured that words would only take you so far and were a small part of the significant whole. I've continued to be informed about and read other works, however as a practitioner I remain what I became after the few months spent with Dr.Jurj - a ~jurjist~.

The teaching method of Dr. Jurj is based in the coherence between signs and symptoms that are accessible to our senses together with the Generals and Mentals of the Patient. It is a Mastery method for considering and including the characteristics, peculiars, striking symptoms into the Totality of the case. We also learn about Physiology and Pathology in a way that helps us to use it in the context of the Homeopathic approach.

Dr. Jurj has developed the ability to create in the audience the eagerness for researching deeper the non-verbal signs and symptoms of the patient. It is a real training for expanding our knowledge and understanding of Materia Medica from the clinical experience rather than just book studies. It is a non-stopping exercise to develop the potential for taking the facts of the signs of the patient and getting from them reliable information to be applied for the most accurate prescription.

Simplicity with coherence of Homeopathic Symptomatology.

Magnificent homeopathic clinical training.

The essence of the clinical symptom in Homeopathy.

I feel so blessed to be part of this phenomenal learning experience. It’s a gift to be able to see recorded consultations done in a clinic setting with a live teacher where the details that can be missed in a live case taking are pointed out in detail and analysed step-by-step on the recorded video. 

It has helped me leaps and bounds in my understanding of Materia Medica. 

I don’t want this learning experience to end, and would like Dr. Jurj to just keep on teaching us. I am his lifelong student now!"
