Die Homöopathie der Zukunft! - International Hahnemann Congress

12
REFERENT / SPEAKER
DR. ANDRÉ SAINE N.D., D.C.
Specific tools for resolving difficult cases
Dr. Saine will discuss in greater depth six of the themes touched on in the
two-day workshop, such as intercurrent diseases ("mishaps" and "morbid
intercurrentes"), the importance of old symptoms, the importance of cured
symptoms for prescribing, the issue of pathological prescribing, the place of
nosodes and the importance of symptoms never experienced by the patient.
All prescribers, from intermediate to the most advanced, will learn much about
these particular but very important practical applications of homeopathy.
Participants are strongly encouraged to attend the two-day seminar to fully benefit
from this lecture.
The revival of the IHA
The International Hahnemannian Association (IHA) existed from 1880 to 1959.
Its member list included all eminent homeopaths of the time, such as Lippe,
Allen, Boger, Clarke, Nash, Kent, and others. With its publications the IHA not
only left an invaluable body of experience, but it also made a substantial contribution
to preserving an untainted homeopathic heritage in the 20th century.
Today the disagreement among different schools has given new importance to
defining the fundamentals of homeopathy. Dr. Saine is a specialist of North
American homeopathy and has collected documents and photographs from
the IHA history for many years. His animated lecture will contribute a historical
perspective to the question: Does it make sense and is it necessary today to
revive the IHA?
Whoever meets Dr. André Saine N.D., D.C. (Canada) personally will feel that
he is heart and soul a homeopath inspired by a deep conviction of Hahnemann’s
method. Since 1986 Dr. Saine has been instructing philosophy, fundamentals, and
Materia medica in a comprehensible and convincing manner at congresses and
seminars in the Americas and in Europe. He is a lecturer at the National Center
of Homeopathy in Washington, D.C., dean and senior lecturer of the Canadian
Academy of Homeopathy in Toronto, Ontario, and president of the Quebec
Association of Naturopathic Physicians. Dr. Saine has a vast knowledge of the
Golden Age of North American homeopathy in the 19th and 20th centuries,
especially the works of Adolf Lippe, whose Collected Writings he is currently preparing
for print. André Saine’s own publications investigate, among others, the treatment
of severe conditions or the concept of Pure Homeopathy he has made common.
Intent to expand the field of action and the potentials of homeopathy,
Dr. Saine attends in his large practice in Montreal almost exclusively patients with
severe pathologies. "During the three weeks we had the luck to watch [André
Saine] at work, we were witnessing patients giving extremely positive feedbacks
and saw impressive results. ... Despite our critical attitude … we were bound to
recognize that Dr. Saine’s work is extraordinarily successful. This is the more amazing,
given the fact that most of his patients see him with serious diseases.”
