Homeopathy Hangout with Eugénie Krüger

Cancer care is often centered on treatment plans and test results, but this conversation with Jean-Denis Bogot focuses on caring for the whole person. Drawing from more than 25 years of experience in oncology, Dr. Bogot shares how he combines homeopathy with conventional cancer care to help patients manage fatigue, pain, and chemotherapy side effects.

Continuing the conversation with Kim Kalina, we explore her view that classical homeopathy remains the grounded foundation for all other approaches, including trituration, provings, and more intuitive methods. A central theme is whether the field truly needs more remedies, or whether deeper engagement with existing remedies may be more important. She also discusses ancestral healing, sharing how family trauma can appear to influence present-day symptoms in patients. The conversation touches on the importance of staying grounded in provings and energetic work through intention, awareness, and personal practice.

Kim Kalina’s path into homeopathy began after her son’s health struggles led her to look beyond conventional treatments and eventually discover a different way of understanding healing. From there, she went on to study homeopathy and build a career as both a practitioner and educator, shaped in part by her earlier background in social work and psychotherapy. She reflects on how this combination of experiences informs her approach, especially when working with emotional issues and trauma. We also talk through her training with CEASE therapy under the late Tinus Smits, including her experiences supporting children with autism and her reflections on individualized care rather than broad protocols. Kim also shares her long-term involvement with triturations and why she values the hands-on process of preparing remedies as part of deepening a homeopath’s understanding.

03:12 - Finding homeopathy through my son
08:10 - Full-on learning, no holding back
10:50 - Teaching that truly connects
