My vision: A return to natural medicine

Why do I want to be a Homeopath? The question at hand poses to be a difficult one

because it is so difficult to express an individual’s ambitions and feelings in an essay; however, I

see this is an opportunity to demonstrate my dire need to help those who are in distress and have

nowhere else to turn.

Homeopathy is a way to bring the past into the future. We began with natural medicine and we

will return to natural medicine. As baby boomers get older, they will hit an age when they will depend on their medications. The medication that is distributed by conventional medical doctors is greatly affecting the body. We are learning that the body is becoming immune to over used medication, therefore many people are in trouble. Side effects are proving to be more aggressive

and dangerous to individuals who depend on medication to ease their pain or control diseases.

Therefore, people are turning to natural methods of healing that do not have side effects or pose

any danger to the human body. Homeopathy will cure the individual’s mind, body and soul, and

patients will leave a Homeopath’s office feeling that their practitioner cares about them. The

homeopath gets to know the patients and empathize with what is happening in their lives; which

is obviously more effective than the numerous short visits to the medical doctor.

The career of my dream consists of working one-to-one with other people, helping individuals

emotionally and physically, aiding people with language barriers feel comfortable in my

presence, and being my own boss. Homeopathy fits in with all of my future hopes like a lock

and key. With my developed social skills and strong science background, I know that I will

succeed as a homeopath. I truly believe that this would be a career that I would wake up in the

morning and look forward to starting the day. I would also like to help prevent my family from

getting sick and I want to cure the ailments they are suffering with presently. I watch them ingest

medication that promises to help them, but the years of intake have left them with other problems

to deal with.  As a child I promised my father that I would become a healer so I could help him

with his migraines, and this is my opportunity to fulfill this promise.

In our short years of life it is our responsibility to leave a little bit of ourselves with all the people

we encounter. Through dedication and hard work, I am determined that I will be an effective and

safe health care provider. Homeopathic medicine is like a gift from nature. I will embrace the

opportunity to share this gift with people who will appreciate it most. As Homeopathy continues

to grow in Canada, there will come a time when history will repeat itself and Homeopaths will become the primary

health care providers; I am confident that I will be one of them.
