Homeopathy Hangout with Eugénie Krüger

Throwback Thursday - Ep 98 - Homeopathy and Yoga for grief - Mel Dupres

Early on in life Mel Dupres realized that her calling is to help herself and others to be happy, healthy and free. As an adoptee she has struggled with the feelings and consequences of loss, grief and abandonment. Working diligently to overcome this for herself she now assists others in their process and is humbled and honored to do so. She developed a passion for Complementary Medicine over 20 years ago. After completing a Human Science degree at UCL, she eagerly went on to The London College of Classical Homeopathy to complete a Licenciate in 1998 and spent time on postgraduate work at the University of Westminster.
 
She enjoys practicing homeopathy to this day and knows it is one of the most profound systems of medicine available. Leaving her Bermuda island home as a teen, she spent many years in the U.K. which led her down a path of revelation and self discovery through study, clinical practice and work in homeopathic pharmacy. She spent years traveling: to India to learn from Rajan Sankaran and the Gondia Homeopathic College and Hospital, to Ghana where she ran homeopathic clinics, with homeopaths including Ellen Kramer and to various other countries around the world where she would seek connection with other homeopaths as well as purchase Arnica for her 'global collection'! In 2000 she began to practice yoga on and off but it was not until a trip to a healing centre in India, where she practiced daily, that yoga helped tremendously unlocking her own health issues due to stress at the time.
 
This experience sparked her desire to teach yoga and she went on to complete the 200 hour yoga training in 2011 with Yoga London. Homeopathy, which explores the mental/ emotional, physical and spiritual aspects of dis-ease through case taking and remedies, and the breath work/ asana (postures) of yoga, which move the vital energies, combine beautifully to bring about transforming a patients experience to health. Adding therapeutic touch and reiki is the icing on the cake allowing Mel to bring a unique and dynamic approach to caring for those willing to embark on a healing journey. A love of food and in particular a wandering palate has lead Mel to create tasty foods that are plant based, free of common allergens (dairy, gluten and nuts). Knowing that food is not only sensory but ideally for nourishing the body, keeps the inspiration for seeking foundation through food as building blocks for heath for herself and her clients. These modalities and approaches complement each other incredibly well, giving clients the opportunity to transcend illness and transform into a new state of being. Life is journey - for Mel it is one of fun, healing and devotion and by embracing this there is quest for deep connection and understanding of herself and others.

Throwback Thursday - Ep 96 - Sane Asylums - Jerry Kantor

Jerry Kantor is the author of several books and today's episode focuses on his new book - "Sane Asylums - the success of Homeopathy before Psychiatry lost its mind."
• Examines the success of homeopathic psychiatric asylums in the United States from the 1870s until 1920
• Focuses on New York’s Middletown State Homeopathic Hospital for the Insane, which had a treatment regime with thousands of successful outcomes
• Details a homeopathic blueprint for treating mental disorders based on Talcott’s methods, including nutrition and side-effect-free homeopathic prescriptions
In the late 1800s and early 1900s, homeopathy was popular across all classes of society. In the United States, there were more than 100 homeopathic hospitals, more than 1,000 homeopathic pharmacies, and 22 homeopathic medical schools. In particular, homeopathic psychiatry flourished from the 1870s to the 1930s, with thousands of documented successful outcomes in treating mental illness.
Revealing the astonishing but suppressed history of homeopathic psychiatry, Jerry M. Kantor examines the success of homeopathic psychiatric asylums in America from the post–Civil War era until 1920, including how the madness of Mary Todd Lincoln was effectively treated with homeopathy at a “sane” asylum in Illinois. He focuses in particular on New York’s Middletown State Homeopathic Hospital, where superintendent Selden Talcott oversaw a compassionate and holistic treatment regime that married Thomas Kirkbride’s moral treatment principles to homeopathy. Kantor reveals how homeopathy was pushed aside by pharmaceuticals, which often caused more harm than good, as well as how the current critical attitude toward homeopathy has distorted the historical record.
Offering a vision of mental health care for the future predicated on a model that flourished for half a century, Kantor shows how we can improve the care and treatment of the mentally ill and stop the exponential growth of terminal mental disorder diagnoses that are rampant today.

Throwback Thursday - Ep 95 - Using Cell Lines for Homeopathic Research - Dr Alexandra Melo

Alexandra C. Melo (PhD) is a Homeopath and Microbiologist (PhD) practicing in London and worldwide online. Following her PhD in King's College London in Applied Microbiology and subsequent Post Doctoral position at Glaxosmithkline she embarked on a quest of finding the optimal approach to health. She has found the Homeopathic approach to be most complete, bringing real and lasting health benefits as it focuses on the cause of disease, rather than just the superficial removal or suppression of symptoms. She loves homeopathy, because it focuses on the study of Nature! Given her academic background, she thoroughly enjoyed embarking on the most incredible learning journey; the healing secrets of the energetic contents of every substance on this planet, everything is a clue, every substance can be curative. There is the structure initiated by the mineral Kingdom, the sensitivity of plants in the Vegetal Kingdom, the competitiveness of the animal Kingdom and the liberation of stuck, deep miasmic states that the nosodes allow. Since she was a child, she always loved children and animals (particularly horses and dogs). Whilst living in Greece became involved with many rescue operations and as a horse lover and rider my interest fell particularly on horses, dogs, amongst other animals. Children’s health is one of the most concerning aspects of parenthood. Although homeopathy works well in variety of diseases, it has special affinity for childhood problems. With over a decade of experience working with paediatricians and veterinarians she still finds remarkable to see how people and creatures respond to this wonderful system of medicine
