(29th May 2026)Breaking news!! Promoting health-the natural way – we have moved!
Promoting health-the natural way have beautiful new rooms!
We are so delighted to continue our work amongst the tranquil nature surrounding St Devenick’s, Camphill Murtle Estate, Bieldside, Aberdeen AB15 9EN.
Located just to the left of Camphill Medical Practice, where I worked as a General Practitioner during the pandemic, we are sharing this building with Camphill Wellbeing Trust.
From 1/6/26 face to face consultations will take place here, with online consultations throughout the UK continuing as normal. Parking options are circled above & there is a waiting room in the lobby, where I will meet you, with a few stairs to our consulting rooms on the first floor.
If stairs are tricky for you please let me know, as with advance notice we can arrange for direct access to this floor.
Very soon there will be the Promoting Health flower logo outside the door, to reassure you that you are here. Please be patient with us while we await our flower sign being put in place.

The last decade at The Unit has been amazing, seeing so many patients recover from a wide variety of conditions naturally, using Homeopathy alongside Nutritional & Lifestyle medicine. Hypnotherapy when appropriate. Often people have had their symptoms for many years or even decades, with many stuck, as their symptoms haven’t responded to pharmaceutical medicines. We use an Integrative approach, It really is so rewarding & I would love other doctors to train in this medical approach to health. |
A massive thank you!
To all who have completed our study with Aberdeen University. If you are a former or current patient of the clinic & would like to take part, it is anonymous & takes just a few moments. Just click the button here!
Medi, our 4th year medical student at Aberdeen Medical school (above) is awaiting your response.
With scientific evidence & popularity backing Homeopathy we have this wonderful opportunity to contribute to the evidence.
When doctors dismiss homeopathy it is often because they have no training in it, yet when I was a young doctor we were encouraged to have more than one toolkit to help patients.
If enough of you reply, we are hoping our medical school will take notice & include Homeopathy teaching for medical students, as they do in Europe!

(14th May 2026)A new study to be undertaken in your clinic – can we influence the medicine of tomorrow?
Your voice matters
Millions successfully use homeopathy, as the second biggest system of medicine worldwide, to support their health and ease their symptoms:
- sometimes alongside other holistic approaches
- sometimes alongside pharmaceutical medicines
An integrative approach to optimising their health.
Today we have a chance to bring these real results from our clinic into our local medical school, potentially influencing the young medics of tomorrow, already questioning what healthcare really is…
The more who support, the more impact this will have

Hello! My name is Medina, I’m currently one of the fourth year medical students studying at the University of Aberdeen. Working with Dr Sudder I’m keen to learn about all things homeopathy! I’m planning a project where we’ll be looking to evaluate outcomes, we’ll hopefully be able to get some of your feedback! I thought it would be best to introduce myself a little bit 🙂 Almost everyone calls me Medi, I’m originally from Elgin and I love all things nature, wellbeing and being active! The past few years I’ve discovered a LOVE for yoga and all that comes with it. This is probably what sparked my interest in homeopathy, alongside coming from a family who use it heavily in their culture. I’m incredibly excited to learn more, and continue through this journey in the future! |
Holistic medical care
Previous clinic audits have shown really compelling results, especially when we understand this is from medicine that is sustainable, non-polluting and free of side-effects. Our last clinic study showed that:89% of patients felt their general well-being improve after taking the remedy.
78% reported a clear improvement in their symptoms
As homeopathy is aimed at the whole person, it is not uncommon for patients to say “I just feel better in myself.”
Thank you for taking time to read this, submit this, results will follow! We value your feedback.
Help to influence healthcare for tomorrow!
Newsletter #1
What are the most significant developments in our understanding of the human body, in relation to healthcare, from the last few decades?
This is a question I have been pondering over.
I choose two.
Microbiome
Much like the soil, having a diverse range of bacteria, fungi and viruses in our gut, our microbiome, positively supports immune, nervous and hormonal systems.
- With diversity we have less inflammation, this being the precursor to most disease.
- 6% of UK adults have allergies (Food Standards Agency), a disrupted microbiome often part of this picture. Links now between allergy, inflammation and heart disease.
- While we need antibiotics, recent studies identify that antibiotics disrupt, not only the microbiome, but also cells responsible for mucous production in the intestinal wall.
- We understand that 80% of our immune system is based here and 90% of our serotonin produced here, that figure having increased from 80% within this year.
The importance of the microbiome in many conditions is a fast-growing area of knowledge. This new knowledge if applied to human care could make a significant difference to outcomes.
Neuroplasticity
This is the ability for the brain to lay down new grey matter pathways depending on our thought patterns. It is more “plastic” or changeable than we previously thought.
-
- Neuroscience- if we can “harness” our thoughts, reflect positively, rather than ruminate, we can build resilience.
- Being aware of thoughts, our behaviours, willingness to change, having the ability to adapt, we can become a healthier version of ourselves.
- The intricate interconnected nature of the autonomic nervous system and our thinking patterns enables us to use our breath to help rebalance when we are stressed
- By being aware of negative or harmful thoughts, we can, by using awareness and the breath, replace these with positive, self-affirming or reassuring thoughts, thus preventing us going “down a rabbit hole” of worry.
The more practiced, just like music, the more that positive and helpful grey matter connection can become the predominant path, leading to more happiness, less worry and an increased production of serotonin from a healthy microbiome.
Interestingly when we have fun, we create a protein that feeds cells called microglial or “gardener” cells. At night when we sleep these cells remove unused or old neurones and pathways enabling us to feel fresh on waking. By choosing positive thoughts and having fun, we enable an actual helpful physical connection to be laid down within the brain, long-term, without side effects.
Homeopathy
Thankfully homeopathy can help both!
- In the clinic we use homeopathic preparations of bowel bacteria, called Bowel nosodes to improve the microbiome. Resultant long lasting positive changes in bowel habit, when patients have struggled for years, are much appreciated. This change further manifests in patients’ symptom reduction-a diverse flora leading to less inflammation and a healthier communication between the gut with the nervous and hormonal system.
- As for neuroplasticity, homeopathy’s benefits are partly due a change in perception. We understand that this is possible as the nanoparticles (super clever medicine!) can cross the blood brain barrier. This can be an explanation for the impressive clinical improvements seen in clinic.
Others reply, describing difficulty in “accessing” their anxiety or low mood.
Note: This scientific knowledge enables recovery without the reduction of absorption of nutrients from our gut, occurring with commonly used pharmaceuticals (eg ibuprofen, antidepressants), this perhaps, contributing to increases in chronic conditions, such as osteoporosis etc.
The effects of pharmaceutical drugs passing into our water systems reveals increased antibiotic resistance in fish. More research required for humans.
Microbiome-Homeopathy-Neuroplasticity
Favoured by 11 US presidents, generations of Royals, stars such as Usain Bolt and David Beckham, and knowing more about human and planetary health than ever before, homeopathy meets the call for a sustainable and holistic approach to health.
