"Health Series: Building Health: The Homeopathic Hospital Revival with Melissa Kupsch."
By Jennifer Walters, BSN-RN, PHN, MFA
Welcome to Part 3 of Solari’s Health Series on homeopathy! In Part 1 (with Leslie Manookian) and Part 2 (with Dr. Michelle Perro), we discussed homeopathy—founded in the early 19th century by German physician Dr. Samuel Hahnemann—as an energetic system of medicine based on the principle of “like cures like.” Homeopathic remedies aim to boost the body’s natural healing process, using only the energy of the substance in the remedy to facilitate healing.
This week, I am thrilled to welcome Melissa Kupsch, BSc (Hons) Homeopathy, a distinguished homeopathic practitioner in Australia. She graduated in 2015 from Endeavour College of Natural Medicine. After a number of years of clinical practice—during which she supported clients in overcoming health challenges, improving fertility, and embracing a vibrant, fulfilling life—she was inspired to found RMDY Academy of Homeopathy, where she is academy director, and RMDY Collective.
I grew up using homeopathy, and homeopathy remains an invaluable tool in my family’s arsenal, but after our homeopath retired, I learned how challenging and costly it can be to find a replacement due to high demand and limited options. With her vast knowledge and enthusiasm, Melissa wants RMDY Academy to change that. Dedicated to “Building Health” for the future, Melissa aims to revive the homeopathic hospitals that were once widespread, while also training more practitioners to serve in those hospitals and nearby communities.
Melissa starts by discussing some of homeopathy’s history, pointing out that homeopathic hospitals thrived during the late 1800s and early 1900s. In his book Sane Asylums: The Success of Homeopathy Before Psychiatry Lost Its Mind, Jerry Kantor notes that during this period, there were more than 100 homeopathic hospitals, over 1,000 homeopathic pharmacies, and 22 homeopathic medical schools. Homeopathy psychiatry also flourished, with “thousands of documented successful outcomes in treating mental illness.” However, supporters of the allopathic medical model, including the Rockefellers and the American Medical Association (AMA), actively worked to dismantle homeopathy and other natural treatments and reshaped medical education. As a result, most homeopathic hospitals had closed or rebranded by the 1920s. Sadly, according to a 2021 article in The New Yorker titled “The Death of Hahnemann Hospital,” Philadelphia’s Hahnemann University Hospital, which was the last to shut its doors in September 2019, was acquired by a private equity firm that plans to transform the site into luxury condos. In India, in contrast, homeopathy is still thriving, with more than 300 homeopathic hospitals, 7,500 government clinics providing homeopathic remedies, 250 homeopathic medical colleges, and 300,000 registered practitioners.
Melissa’s RMDY collective is in the process of establishing the first of several homeopathic centers in Australia, with plans to launch in the U.S. soon. Together with two senior homeopaths, RMDY Academy initiated its first two-year program in 2024 and aims to graduate over 500 students in that initial cohort, with another two-year cycle starting in fall 2026. Her goal is to increase the number of trained homeopathic professionals to the thousands.
In an interview on another podcast, Melissa noted that Dr. Hahnemann tops her list of personal heroes. I thought of a quote by Paracelsus that in my view describes both Hahnemann and Melissa:
“Thoughts give birth to a creative force that is neither elemental nor sidereal. Thoughts create a new heaven, a new firmament, a new source of energy, from which new arts flow. When a man undertakes to create something, he establishes a new heaven.”
In our conversation, we also discuss examples of miasms (energy distortions that can lead to chronic illnesses) and how to eliminate them, cover the concept of homeopathic “cell salts,” and consider methods to detoxify from various toxins (including Covid shots). Join us and be inspired by the RMDY initiatives to Build Health!
