In this episode, I’m joined by homeopath and author Andre Saine and his longtime collaborator Ralf Jeutter for a wide-ranging conversation on the foundations and practice of homeopathy. Andre shares how he first discovered homeopathy during chiropractic school and the early case that convinced him of its power. We talk about the discipline required to practice classical homeopathy and why returning to the teachings of Hahnemann and Lippe still matters today. A large part of the discussion focuses on their ongoing Materia Medica Pura Project, including why revisiting lesser-known remedies and provings is so important for modern clinical work.

About my Guests:
Dr. André Saine, N.D., F.C.A.H. is a highly respected naturopathic physician and homeopath based in Montréal, Canada. He graduated in 1982 from the National College of Naturopathic Medicine in Portland, Oregon, and became board-certified in homeopathy by the Homeopathic Academy of Naturopathic Physicians in 1988. Dr. Saine has been teaching, lecturing, and practicing homeopathy since 1985, and is widely regarded as one of the world’s foremost experts in classical (pure) homeopathy, particularly in the care of patients with serious chronic conditions.
Since 1986, he has served as Dean and main instructor of the Canadian Academy of Homeopathy, where he trains health professionals in deep clinical prescribing and the foundational principles of the homeopathic art. Dr. Saine also directs the ongoing Materia Medica Pura Project, an international initiative to systematically revise and expand the homeopathic materia medica for better clinical use. Over decades of study and practice, he has contributed significantly to homeopathic education and scholarship through teaching, seminars, and long-term projects rooted in the works of historical homeopathic masters.
