Catherine Coulter 1989 with Hering's Lachesis snake
Catherine R. Coulter
Catherine Coulter died on the evening of 24 February 2014 at the age of 80.
Her daughter Marian wrote to us: "I
send to you the tremendously sad news that Catherine passed away at
home, from a heart-related condition. It is a really heavy blow for the
whole family."
Catherine R. Coulter was one of the great
homeopaths of recent decades and was known for her vivid remedy descriptions.
Born in 1934, she first came into contact with
homeopathy when, during a holiday in France, she consulted a homeopath about her allergies. He asked her to come back the next day, and then said he had consulted the famous American physician Dr Kent about her case. When she returned to the USA, she enquired about this Dr Kent, but he had already been dead since 1916!
Her interest was piqued, and entirely self-taught, Catherine Coulter acquired her homeopathic knowledge; at first she "devoured" Boericke, later the 10-volume Materia Medica by Hering and finally also came across Kent's repertory.
She began by treating mainly her family and acquaintances. In the 1970s she met several homeopathic doctors who were deeply impressed by her knowledge of remedies and asked her to give lectures on the subject. She subsequently taught at the National Center of Homeopathy in Millersville.
