Homeopathy is an effective and scientific system of healing which assists the natural tendency of the body to heal itself.
SERVICES
Welcome
Homeopathic remedies work by stimulating the body’s own healing power. It recognises that all symptoms of ill health are expressions of imbalance within the whole person and that it is the patient who needs treatment not the disease. Length of treatment depends on the duration of the condition and the response of the individual’s immune system.

About Me
Elizabeth Wills RSHom, PHSH, Classical, Registered Homeopath
I was introduced to homeopathy over 25 years ago when I was suffering from an inveterate skin condition that was not responding to conventional medicine.
I was surprised yet curious to understand why, after just one treatment, my condition was cured never to return. This fascinating medicine took hold and I decided to embark on a four-year course at the Farnham Royal School of Homeopathy (latterly Purton House). I was privileged to be taught by some of Homeopathy’s leading physicians: Nicky Pool, Sheila Creasy, David Mundy, Dr. David Curtin, Dr. Rajan Sankaran, Dr. Christine Page, Roberto Biancini, Murray Feldman, Anthony Hurley, Roger Savage, Dr. Paul Herscu
My thirst and enthusiasm for homeopathy continues to grow through my practice, family and friends as I witness the wonderment of this medicine. I am very lucky to find satisfaction through seeing my patients recover and regain their health.
I am a fully qualified and registered member of the Society of Homeopaths since 1993. Recognized by the ECCH (European Council for Classical Homeopathy) and the CCAM (Council for Complementary and Alternative Medicine). I am also a registered member of the NHS Complementary and Alternative Practitioners, which allows GP’s to refer through their Primary Trust. As a registered homeopath, I practice in accordance with a code of ethics and practice, I hold professional insurance and I have passed stringent academic and clinical assessments before being admitted to the register. Several medical insurance companies recognize my registration:

Testimonials
‘I have been a patient of Mrs. Wills since 1993 when I consulted her for my painful arthritis. I could only move aided by a walking stick and I had to give up walking my dogs. After homeopathic treatment, I was able to throw away my stick, come off my medication and go back to walking my dogs. I am most grateful for all the help I have received from her. She is a very talented practitioner in homeopathy and in addition she is understanding and helpful to her patients. I am more than happy to recommend her!’

‘I was diagnosed with `Multiple Sclerosis 21 years ago aged 26.
On the 10th March 1992, I gave birth naturally to my first child with no complications. Six weeks later I visited my GP for my check up. The Nurse gave me a precautionary (live) Polio and Tetanus booster. 24 hours later, I woke with intense burning in my head and severe pins and needles all over my body. This then progressed to complete loss of sensation in my body and within 48 hours I was unable to even turn a key in the door.
I visited my GP who, after carrying out some neurological tests, admitted me to hospital. I was immediately put on an intense course of intravenous steroids and given a lumbar puncture, MRI and CAT scans as well as other diagnostic tests which were inconclusive and I was discharged. One year later I suffered optical neuritis (temporary blindness in one eye) and it was then that the GP diagnosed me with MS. I was told to call him whenever I relapsed and I would be referred to a neurologist, this was to be a frequent occurrence over the next 5 years. He administered ACTH steroid injections to encourage the adrenal glands to produce more steroids to combat the inflammation of the nerves. The relapses were getting more frequent and lasting longer and as well as my physical health deteriorating, I was also suffering with depression.
My good friend was travelling the world at the time and called me from Australia. She was shocked to hear that I had relapsed again and had heard about homeopathy on her travels. She begged me to go and see a homeopath and at that time I knew nothing about homeopathy but I picked up the phone and made the call there and then. Fortunately, I called Liz Wills and that was the day that changed my life, forever.
I started homeopathic treatment and three months later I started to regain feeling and four years later I had minimum symptoms of MS, I felt as though I finally had my life back!
I am still a patient of Liz’s today. She keeps the MS under control with occasional visits but I am a healthy, active 47 year old with a full time job.
Homeopathy gave me my independence back.’
Linda aged 47, Surrey
‘My son had been projectile vomiting nightly, he always had a runny nose and had a very rattily chest since he was very young and by 6 months old, had already been on several courses of antibiotics which was concerning me. After a talk given by Elizabeth Wills on homeopathy, I decided that I would take him to her to see if she could help. She observed his play and his behavior and asked me some questions about his habits, likes, dislikes etc. She prepared a remedy, which I took home with me. Within a couple of days, the improvement was incredible and within the month, he had stopped vomiting completely. He will be 21 next month and has only had 1 course of antibiotics which was unrelated to his original symptoms.’
K. G, Fleet
‘For many, many months I experienced very painful plantar fasciitis in both heels and was getting very frustrated with the traditional approach to resolving the problem. I was basically given some exercises to do and told to take painkillers.
Having chatted with Liz briefly about the problem she suggested she might be able to help. To be honest I was a little skeptical at first but thought I would give it a go. After just one consultation she was able to prescribe a homeopathic remedy that completely sorted out the problem. Within 5/6 weeks I was pain free and have been since – that was two years ago.
I am a complete convert!’
J.F, Twickenham
‘My 5 year old son was suffering from hay fever. His eyes were red, puffy and watery, his chest wheezy. On a trip to the chemist, another customer recognized Edward’s symptoms and recommended a homeopath, Elizabeth Wills. I was skeptical at first, especially as we had tried numerous over the counter remedies with little success. However, within a couple of days of Edward’s first session with Elizabeth his symptoms cleared up. He is now 7 and goes once a year for a top up and does not suffer at all.
I would highly recommend homeopathy.’
E.L, Hartley Wintney
‘What I appreciate about Liz is building a long-term relationship for my daughter and myself. She has seen us through eczema, the menopause, teenage anxiety and work-related stress and exhaustion. She takes a thorough and holistic approach so that she knows us well enough to prescribe the right constitutional remedies which keep us in general good health, as well as quickly treating one-off episodes when they do occur. She is also knowledgeable about mainstream medicine and gives good advice on how the two systems can interact to benefit the patient.'

Understanding Homeopathy
The word homeopathy is derived from two Greek words: homoios meaning similar, and pathos meaning suffering. Homeopathy’s basic premise, the principle of similar, refers to the observation and experience that whatever set of symptoms a substance causes in overdose in healthy people will create a healing response when given in specially prepared nanodoses (very small doses) to people whose disease has this similar set of symptoms.
Example: exposure to an onion’s juices is known to cause tears from the eyes and fluid nasal discharge that may even burn the upper lip. People with allergies or common cold symptoms who exhibit these and other similar symptoms that onion causes will benefit from taking homeopathic doses of an onion.
Treating syndromes, not diseases
Homeopathic medicine treats the person as a whole, rather than treating specific diseases. This holistic approach is one of the main differences between homeopathy and conventional medicine. For example, if you are suffering from anxiety, arthritis and a skin condition the conventional route might involve three separate courses of treatment from three different specialists; by contrast a homeopath would consider all of these symptoms to be linked and therefore threat them as a whole, possibly with one prescription.
For some 200 years, hundreds of thousands of homeopaths throughout the world have carefully catalogued (and now computerized) the idiosyncratic physical, emotional and mental symptoms that thousands of substances have caused in healthy people. Homeopaths have thereby created the most extensive body of toxicological information available today, though this information focuses on the symptoms that these substances cause, not on the doses in which they cause them.
Thousands of substances have undergone toxicological studies, which homeopaths call provings. These experiments are conducted on human subjects, not animals, to determine what set of symptoms various substances from the plant, mineral, animal, or chemical kingdoms cause in overdose, and thus, what affinity each substance has to the human body. This is medicine at its most complex and precise.
Cholera Epidemic 1854 – London
A historically important epidemic – it was the first time a disease outbreak was traced to a particular source – in a public water pump. The pump was closed and the epidemic ceased. All in all 10,738 people died. The House of Commons requested a report regarding the various methods of treating the epidemic. When the report was issued, no homeopathic figures were included. The House of Lords requested and explanation, and it was admitted that if the homeopathic figures were to be in included in the report, it would “skew the results” so it was suppressed. Upon examination, the buried report revealed that under conventional care the mortality was 59.2% while under homeopathic care mortality was only 9%.

Quantum Medicine
Although no one knows precisely how homeopathic medicines initiate the healing process, we have more than 200 years of evidence from hundreds of thousands of clinicians and tens of millions of patients that these medicines have powerful effects. One cannot help but anticipate the veritable treasure trove of knowledge that further research in homeopathy and nanopharmacology will bring. Quantum physics does not disprove Newtonian physics; quantum physics simply extends our understanding of extremely small and extremely large systems. Likewise, homeopathy does not disprove conventional pharmacology; instead, it extends our understanding of extremely small doses of medicinal agents. Homeopaths continue to refine this system of nanopharmacology.
How can homeopathic medicines work?
The original substance is diluted, and then shaken vigorously (succussed). The number of times this is repeated determines the strength or potency of the remedy e.g. a 6c remedy will have been diluted 1 part in 100 then succussed six times. The fact that homeopathic medicines are so highly diluted has led some skeptics to say that they are nothing but water. Research suggests that succussion imprints information from the original substance into the water it is dissolved in. Homeopathic medicine presents a significantly different pharmacological approach to treating sick people. Instead of using strong and powerful doses of medicinal agents that have a broad-spectrum effect on a wide variety of people with a similar disease, homeopaths use extremely small doses of medicinal substances that are highly individualized to a person’s syndrome of disease. Homeopathic medicines are so small in dose that it is appropriate to refer to them as a part of the newly defined field of nanopharmacology. More than 200 years of experience have shown that the more a substance is potentized, the more powerful the medicine becomes, the longer it acts, and the fewer doses are generally needed. In this light, homeopaths assert that their medicines are not simply extremely small doses. Instead, they affirm that the double-distilled water is changed and becomes imprinted and activated.
If you chemically analyzed and compared a blank CD with a CD containing 1,000 books or 1,000 songs, both CDs would be composed of the same chemistry. A CD may have information encoded on it that cannot be differentiated by chemistry. Likewise, water is a medium that becomes encoded with the medicines and its structure changed, even though normal chemical analysis of the water in which homeopathic medicines are made will not find obvious differences.
The principle of similars can be understood in light of the physics of music. For example, whenever a C note is played on a piano (or any instrument), all C notes reverberate, while other notes are not affected at all. The important observation here is that hypersensitivity exists where there is resonance. Ultimately, homeopathy is a medical system based on resonance.
Popularity of Homeopathy
Homeopathic medicine is widely practiced by physicians in Europe. Approximately 30% of French doctors and 20% of German doctors use homeopathic medicines regularly, while more than 40% of British physicians refer patients to homeopathic doctors (Fisher and Ward, 1994), and almost half of Dutch physicians consider homeopathic medicines to be effective. In late 2011, the Swiss government’s report on homeopathic medicine represents the most comprehensive evaluation of homeopathic medicine ever written by a government. This breakthrough report affirmed that homeopathic treatment is both effective and cost effective and that Switzerland’s national health insurance companies should reimburse homeopathic treatment. The Swiss government has a long and widely respected history of neutrality and democracy and therefore, their reports need to be taken more seriously than from other countries that are more strongly influenced by present economic and political constituencies. When one considers that 2 of the top 5 largest drug companies have their headquarters in Switzerland, one might assume that this country would have a heavy bias and interest toward conventional medicine!
“I believe what prevents men from accepting the homeopathic principles is ignorance, but ignorance is criminal when human lives are at stake. No honest man faced with the facts of homeopathy can refuse to accept it. He has no choice. When I had to face it, I had become a follower. There was no choice if I were to continue to be an honest man… truth always demands adherence and offers no alternative.”
Sir John Weir, physician to six monarchs, including four generations of British monarchs
