Guidi was banned from Naples because of his liberal views in
1799. His property was confiscated. He became a general in the
revolutionary army that fought against queen Caroline. He was
caught and almost executed, but the English intervened on his
behalf. He went to France, where he became a Professor of Mathematics
in Lyon and Marseille. In 1820 he became a Doctor of Medicine at Strassbourg. After his wife was cured by Dr. de Romani from Napels he studied homeopathy and introduced it in France in 1830. Subsequently he practiced homeopathy in France until his death in 1863. Sources Sébastien Gaeten-Salvador Des Guidi - Pioneers of homeopathy by T. L. Bradford |
