In Philadelphia he met Ray Seidel, M.D., HMD, a 1935 graduate of the Hahnemann Medical College. Ray became his physician and introduced him to homeopathy. Ray urged him to go to the National Center of Homeopathy (NCH) summer school, and wrote a letter to the school asking that Julian be admitted to the three-week professional course. At the summer school, Julian received three weeks of instruction from some good folks – Masie Panos, Henry Williams, Richard Moskowitz and Catherine Coulter.

Julian became Registrar of the NCH educational program in 1981 and began to teach both the first-aid and the history/pharmacy components. In 1982 Julian took a sabbatical from teaching and traveled around the United States for a year, talking to doctors and considering ways of continuing his medical education. Julian was able to meet and talk to many U.S. homeopaths and spent three weeks sitting in on Dr. Karl Robinson's practice in New Mexico.

In 1982 Julian was elected to the NCH Board of Directors. He assumed the editorship of Homeopathy Today in 1984. He worked closely with NCH summer school and eventually became Dean of the NCH educational program.

In Philadelphia, Julian became acquainted with Jack Borneman at Borneman's Pharmacy and with Don Lee and Gus Tafel at B&T, and was invited to become a member of the Homeopathic Pharmacopaoeia Convention.

In 1992, Julian was invited to New Zealand for two weeks to assist the Wellington College of Homeopathy in creating a summer program. While there, Julian met Gwyneth Evans, a professional homeopath and WCH principal. The two were married in April 1994. In June, 1995, Julian gave up his tenured position at the University of the Arts and moved to New Zealand with his 4,000 old remedies, and 2,000 homeopathic books and journals.

Julian's homeopathic library and collection was one of the largest private collections in the United States and is now the largest in the Southern Hemisphere. He has original letters from Kent and Hering, original (handwritten) manuscripts of books, a repertory that belonged to J.H. Clarke, books bearing the signatures of Nash, Hering, Lippe, Fincke, and others, and a collection of homeopathic ephemera – postcards, photographs, bottles, etc.

Julian currently co-directs the Wellington College of Homeopathy and works part-time on the design school faculty at Wellington Polytechnic.

One of the last things Julian accomplished before leaving the United States was a video on the history of the American homeopathic movement. This video is available from the NCH for $29.95. It took five years to complete and is filled with over 300 images that Julian has collected over the years.

Julian continues to edit Homeopathy Today, and remains on the NCH Board of Directors. He is the editor of Homeopathy NewZ, a newsletter with nearly 200 subscribers.

Julian also plays the pedal steel guitar and five-string banjo – but that is another story . . . .
