Dr. Frederik Schroyens, MD, is a 1977 medical graduate of the State University of Gent (Belgium) and a 1978 graduate of the one-year Homeopathic Training Course at the Faculty for Homeopathy in London (FFHom). He has been practicing integrative medicine, emphasizing homeopathy, since 1978.
In 1981, Dr. Schroyens has been the constitutive President of VSU, the first Flemish homeopathic education centre in Belgium. VSU has offered a one-year introductory course on homeopathy to more than 1.250 physicians, veterinarians, dentists and pharmacists and fully trained more than 200 homeopaths. The homeopathic education was built over a five-year program.
He also founded the Masi-workshops in Belgium and Holland.
In the mid-1980’s, he was one of the first users of Radar, a software for homeopathic practice. He became enthusiastic about the possibilities which computer science was offering to homeopathy. Because of his dedication to this development, he soon became the scientific coordinator of the Radar-related projects. He was therefore largely responsible for the digitalization of the homeopathic profession worldwide.
In 1984, he published an introduction to homeopathy, aimed at patients, in Dutch, which has been translated into French and Portuguese.
In 1985, on the invitation of prof. Jean Fichefet (Namur, Belgium), he created Synthesis, currently considered the gold standard of the homeopathic repertories, In 1993, the 5th version of Synthesis was the first printed version.
By now, a computer version of Synthesis exists in ten languages. Furthermore, Synthesis has been printed one to ten times in Dutch, English, French, German, Italian and Spanish.
Since 1995 several books based on Synthesis have been published in various languages, such as "1001 Small Remedies" and "Arzneimittelbilder von Gemüt und Traume".
In 1987, he was appointed as the main link between prof. George Vithoulkas (Greece) and the programming team of the University of Namur (Belgium) during the development of the Vithoulkas Expert System. He has been accompanying prof. Vithoulkas on his seminars from 1988 to 1995 and assisted him during most of his consultations during that period.
Since 1994, Dr. Schroyens is a member of the Provings Subcommittee of the European Committee for Homeopathy.
Dr. Schroyens has been lecturing on homeopathy and on his team's work in most European countries as well as in South Africa, Asia, North and South America.
