Ernest Roberts’ Background

Ernest Morristan Roberts B.A.(Econ) PGCE. MCH.

Ernest at home with one of his dogs, Jet.

I began work teaching secondary school in 1960, then at the Thames Polytechnic in the Management Department specializing in Manpower Planning. During this  time I studied for an M.Sc in Econometrics at the L.S.E.

I then spent two years working as a journalist with The City Press and in Public Relations. Before returning to the Economics Department of The Thames Polytechnic.

In 1975 I left economics and founded The Kidbrook House Yoga Group in Blackheath which I directed for ten years, teaching Yoga and Yoga Therapy in London and at weekends in various towns around the Home Counties and in South Wales. This eventually led me to study Homoeopathy at the College of Homeopathy. When I graduated in 1983 I returned home to Manchester to begin a full time family practice.

In 1984 I founded the North West College of Homoeopathy which became the leading classical homoeopathy college in the UK.

During this time I wrote two text books, one for the general public and patients, and more complete one for students training to be professional homoeopathic practitioners, both published by Winter Press. I also wrote several smaller books on special homoeopathic topics and some related esoteric topics, which are posted on my web site.

I worked with several medical doctors and shared many ideas and concerns about current medical education and practice and what changes needed to be considered

In 2006 I sold the Clinic, which by then had four consulting rooms and the College which had 100 students currently attending. I retired to Macclesfield where, however, I am still seeing patients, some existing clients and some new ones.

My original interest at University in Welfare Economics, my experiencing in learning the origins and causes of disease and how to cure causes rather than end products lead me to begin a book about The Nations Health.

I have been researching all aspects of health over five years and have written an interesting book.  Interesting because it turns out to be complementary to a seminal book on the same subject by Zac Goldsmith, The Constant Economy, which I only discovered when my book was almost complete. Zac’s book is the macro approach to what needs to be done by national and international organisations; my book is the micro approach, what each individual needs to do. Both are necessary and neither will succeed without the other.
