Juno nominee Andy Milne created a theory of musical medicine ... and then he was diagnosed with prostate cancerIt was the fall of 2017 and the lauded jazz pianist, professor and composer had just finished recording, his most ambitious work to date. A musical suite based on the diagnostic principles of homeopathic healing as tailored to its individual musicians, it was the culmination of the music-as-remedy theory Milne had been working on for nearly a decade. He was elated.
In 2010, Milne began feeling extreme discomfort in his lower back. Over the next two years, he saw a string of specialists who failed to cure his pain. Frustrated, he turned to homeopathy. Specifically, the work of David Kramer, whose philosophy of applying the theories and pathologies of healing to contemporary life reminded Milne of his father’s diagnostic ideology.
Working with Kramer, he conceived a list of questions which each member and featured soloist would fill out: “‘Do you have an attraction to thunderstorms?’ ‘A fear of the dark?’ ‘What’s your relationship to animals?’ From there we examined what their remedy would be in homeopathy." Shortly after recording wrapped, Milne was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Following surgery in December of that year, his back pain disappeared. Ten months of cancer treatment followed.
