Did get to watch the program.
It was better than one he did a while ago which infuriated me.
His focus was strictly on acutes and he brought on MDs who used
combo remedies and multiple remedy injections which horrified me.
He clearly did not have to select that kind of a practitioner for the show.
But it certainly could have been worse.

As a former patient of Andre Saine, I wouldn't doubt his dedication to uphold classical homeopathy and case taking, he took 4 hours on my in-person visit. Unfotunately, he doesn't believe in LMs, considers them too weak, nor 6th Organon, is 4th and somewhat 5th Organon practicing, at least 10+ years ago. He didn't follow what I now know is the correct method for split water dosing and instructions rather saying to keep diluting the remedy in a gallon of water. The primary remedy he chose for me at the time turned out to be palliative and the 2nd remedy he had chosen, both were given to me at initial visit to have, is currently my constitutional anti-psoric. Since he uses grafted Dunham C potencies, which are considered quite strong, having been succussed on farm mill equipment, the 2nd correct remedy caused severe aggravations, possibly due to the way it is made. Thus was told never to take it again, which turned out to be wrong advice. Andre also wrote in one of his lecture notes Method books that using nosodes is unnecessary if you are a good homeopath, more wrong advice.
So while I would advise a new patient to see him, if they can get an appt which may be a year wait, this is an example of a wonderful dedicated homeopath with great pride who, at the time, stayed stuck in more 4th Organon prescribing using old style strong remedy potency not evolving as Hahnemann did to more gentler lasting methods for chronic diseases.
Truly an example of having the right remedy, eventually, but the wrong potency/dosing style, thus not getting the results thus abandoning a similimum, which wasted many years getting back to it and the proper potency/dosing method to match the disease. To be fair, at the time, I wasn't yet fully diabetic so presented myself in a pre-disease state and was in different physical shape, so I can see how he chose his primary remedy based more on mentals ignoring the more obvious physical. That is a judgment call that makes homeopathy an art besides a science.
