This is the medicine you’ve been searching for — my unique brand of homeopathy, PRACTICAL Homeopathy®. Introduction: If this were my last podcast, what would I say? Joette: (01:00) Hi friends, Joette here. I had some ideas the other day that I wanted to pass on to you. I asked myself, what is the one message I really want to leave with you, something that’s poignant for me in my life and perhaps might be for you. I was thinking, if this were my last podcast, what would I say? What’s at the heart of everything I teach? These are my thoughts. If you’re new here — new to my podcasts, my blog, my courses — you might think it’s just about fixing, you know, eczema or chronic fatigue or whatever acute mess your families might be suffering in now. And yes, we deliver those Practical Protocols. I teach them because they work. Eczema? Well, here’s the protocol that helped time after time. Postpartum exhaustion? We know the medicines. We’ve got them all ready for you. They’re in my blogs; they’re in my courses. Those will uproot the condition, and they’re the upfront answers. They’re what give you the interest and the excitement about being able to help yourself and your family because they get — pretty often — fast results. What happened? (02:11) But once everything clears — the skin clears, the energy returns — something bigger often dawns on moms and grandmothers and men, too. They look back and say, “Oh, my gosh. All these years, I’ve been slathering steroids on my children’s arms and legs, and it’s only gotten worse in the long run. Now there’s asthma. Now there are behavioral issues. Now there are food intolerances, dairy, wheat. Everything’s off the table. What has happened?” Well, my friends, you’re not alone. I’ve been there too. What happened is we lost our freedom — our medical freedom. We handed it over to industries, pharmaceuticals, food giants, even governments, who told us, “This is the way. Take the pill. Smear the cream. Trust the experts.” And we did. That’s a collective “we” because I was there too. We believed that the quick fix was the fix. So, I started right where so many of you did. Except for me, my health was wrecked in my 20s and 30s before I had children. I had eczema as an infant all the way into high school. I had allergies, chemical sensitivities — so many sensitivities — that by the time my kids came along, I had already been questioning and digging and trying to find answers. I learned. Conventional drugs suppress … until they later cause other issues (03:40) And the big “ahas” were that conventional drugs don’t heal. They suppress, and they kick the can down the road, and that suppression shows up later without us realizing what the connection is. And I guarantee that the doctor who prescribed it will not make that connection as well. The suppression shows up in gut issues, more allergies — more deepened allergies, more things to be allergic to, chronic fatigue. It’s the same story in tens of thousands of cases I’ve taken over the years. Nothing new under the sun. Do the opposite. (04:14) Here’s what I’ve come up with. Here’s the easy rule I taught my kids, and it’s a little oversimplified, but you’ll get the idea, I think. I taught my children from an early age that whatever everybody else is doing to do the opposite. That’s the shortcut to clarity. So, at least if nothing else, they’re questioning. I can hand you the protocol for eczema. I can give you the protocols for fatigue, and it often works beautifully. But I

So, for the next few minutes, let’s link our arms as I demystify homeopathy — what was once considered an esoteric paradigm — into an understandable, reproducible, safe and effective health care solution available to all. This is the medicine you’ve been searching for — my unique brand of homeopathy, PRACTICAL Homeopathy®. Introduction: It Doesn’t Get Better Than This: Inspirational Homeopathic Success Joette: (01:00) Hi! Kate: Hi, Joette. It is very exciting to be with you this week because we are actually in person, which doesn’t happen too often — a couple times a year — but tell us where we are and what’s happening. Joette: Well, we’re in Florida, and a number of our Mastermind members joined us here for a great weekend. This is fashioned after Masterminds that were started back in the turn of the last century when Napoleon Hill was charged with the job of gathering up the heads of industry, getting them together and having them meet and share information on what made them successful, asking each other to help. And it was basically a secret group. So now, we’re not industrialists, but we’re going to learn from them. And instead, we’ve gathered together … we’ve been doing this, now, we’re going on our third year, where we gather together. There are 12 of us in one unit, and we have gotten to know each other because we’re all asking each other for help with whatever it is we’re looking to accomplish in our lives. That help could be from “How to build my practice,” “How to teach Gateways more frequently,” “How to incorporate my family into my work,” “How to study better.” Some of the members in the group have no interest in ever practicing or even teaching. What they want to do is to just keep in touch with those people that they have a great deal of regard for and get feedback. And that’s really what it is. It’s melding of the minds. It’s concinnity at its best because it’s bringing all the minds together, and everyone is parlaying off of each other. It sounds a little bit like a cacophony, but it isn’t. It really is very organized. Each person has their specific time at which they present, and then those around the round table (of the other 11) offer their suggestions, ideas and plans to help them build their year. We’re meeting now, and then we’re going to meet every other week for an entire year. It’s really a spectacular opportunity for all of us. Prerequisites for Practical Homeopathy’s Mastermind Kate: (03:00) So, in order to be in your Mastermind group, what do students need to have accomplished in order to join the group? And I know there’s a wait list. Actually, right now we have a number of people who wanted to join, but weren’t able to necessarily get in this year, but we’re hoping in the coming years. But tell me, what do these students have to have done to get in group? Joette: They have to have gone through The Academy, which is one full year, and the Mastery, which is 11 months. So, it’s quite a commitment. And they have to be interested in growing; growing themselves intellectually, emotionally, spiritual. Whatever it is that they’re looking to accomplish, that’s what they bring to the table and ask for help and then offer their help to others. Kate: So t

So, for the next few minutes, let’s link our arms as I demystify homeopathy — what was once considered an esoteric paradigm — into an understandable, reproducible, safe and effective health care solution available to all. This is the medicine you’ve been searching for — my unique brand of homeopathy, PRACTICAL Homeopathy®. Introduction: Meet 7 Unique, Accomplished, Inspiring Women from the Practical Homeopathy® Mastermind Group Kate: (01:00) Welcome to the Practical Homeopathy® Podcast. I’m Kate, and I’m thrilled you’re joining us today. Homeopathy isn’t just a gentle, time-tested system of medicine. It’s a powerful tool that empowers families to take charge of their health naturally, safely and effectively. Joette has spent decades teaching others how to employ Practical Homeopathy® with their family, friends and beyond. So, on this podcast, you’re going to hear from some passionate students of Practical Homeopathy®, who are now helping others experience what’s truly possible with Practical Homeopathy®. Joette, we’ve just spent three wonderfully intense days together with your Mastermind students. Some of them are joining in on this podcast today. So, I’d love it if you could start by explaining to those listening what your Mastermind group is all about. What’s a Mastermind group? Joette: (01:52) Okay. So, a Mastermind group is a dedicated group of graduates of The Academy of Practical Homeopathy® and Mastery — so, that’s been two full years — who have taken their knowledge to the next level. These women — brilliant women, I have to say — have seen remarkable results in their own lives and families. And now they’ve moved beyond that, and they want to join with a small group of other like-minded students who all want to push each other to fulfill their goals, and their clients experience the life-changing power of homeopathy. So, let’s get started. Meet Heather, a health coach Joette: (02:33) Hi, Heather. Heather: Hello, Joette. Joette: I’m so glad you’re with me today … well, also that you’ve been with me this weekend, too. Heather: Yes, it’s been amazing. Joette: It’s amazing to be amongst these women, hasn’t it? Heather: Absolutely, yes. Joette: Tell us a little bit about your story. What is a little bit of your background; what brought you here? Heather: I have been a health coach for about 10 years and have been working with clients for that long, helping people recover their health and just to support them in any way that I could. But I always felt a little bit of a limitation. I couldn’t always quite get to the end of that process. And so, when I found homeopathy, one of the first things that I did for myself was to work on getting rid of my chronic headaches that were debilitating and took up way too many days of the month that I couldn’t really function or do things. And so, when I was able to do that with homeopathy, I knew that I had found that missing piece. And the fact that I can now help clients and family members alike with not just acute things that pop up in everyone’s life, but to be able to help them with some very serious chr

This is the medicine you’ve been searching for — my unique brand of homeopathy, PRACTICAL Homeopathy®. Introduction: When health fears fade: Ordinary mom, extraordinary results Kate: (00:58) Welcome back to the Practical Homeopathy® Podcast. I’m Kate, and I’m so excited today because we’re diving into the heart of why so many of us love homeopathic medicine. We’re going to hear real stories from real people living busy, full lives, who have seen homeopathy work wonders. So, today our guest is Tina. She’s a wife, a homeschooling mom of three, a student of Practical Homeopathy®. Actually, she’s going through The Academy of Practical Homeopathy®. And she’s a leader of the Gateway to Practical Homeopathy® study groups and also the protocol study courses. So, Tina, thank you so much for joining us. I’m excited to hear your stories. Tina: Oh, I’m so thankful to be here, Kate. It’s an honor. I’m just a mom, an observer. I’ve seen this medicine change things, and in the most ordinary, everyday moments Kate: And extraordinary from what you’ve told me, too. Very exciting. So, that’s why we love hearing these stories, Tina, and especially what you’re going to bring to the podcast today. You have such a rich background, and I think people would want to know because it’s so interesting. Microbiology, business, homeschooling, church music ministry, volleyball coaching, graphic design, short-term rentals and more, as we talked earlier. Yet, homeopathy has woven into all of it. So, I want to ask you, Tina, what first drew you to Practical Homeopathy®, and how did those early experiences hook you into using homeopathy as your medicine? It all started with tooth pain Tina: (02:34) I am so thankful to live a varied life and, within all of those moments, get to use homeopathy and see homeopathy shine. But it all started with my youngest daughter during the time when we were all sitting at home, and we weren’t able to get into many practices or dental practices or doctors. And her tooth started turning pretty decayed, in which we were told before that it was just a little stain on her tooth. So, I had a sister-in-law who had just taken Gateway I and Gateway II, and she had tried to convince me to get in the class. And I kick myself now because that was when I could have started. But it was in the middle of a move, and we just didn’t have time. And so, I remember getting on the phone, calling her up and saying, “Is there anything homeopathy could do? Because we need help.” At that point, my poor little youngest was in pain and waking up in the middle of the night. And we were doing all we could allopathically, and it just was not good enough. And your mom-heart just breaks to see them in pain and crying. And so, I was introduced to a protocol for infection. And it was my first real introduction, and it was a beautiful start because not only did things change within the hour, but homeopathy just gently and ever so intelligently came and not only took the pain away — my daughter was able to sleep — but when we were able to get into a dentist, the abscess was gone that they had seen before. And we were able to do what we needed to

This is the medicine you’ve been searching for — my unique brand of homeopathy, PRACTICAL Homeopathy®. Introduction: Never Forget Remedies With Stories: A Closer Look at Arnica Kate: (01:00) Welcome back to the Practical Homeopathy® Podcast with Joette Calabrese. I’m your co-host, Kate. If you are looking for ways to remember which homeopathic medicines address specific conditions, today’s podcast is for you. Joette, our Practical Homeopathy® founder and trusted expert, will share her insights to do just that. But before we jump in, I want to welcome you. You, our listeners. You’re in the right place today if your goal is to become a confident, capable healer in your own family. Or maybe you’re just learning about homeopathy, and you wonder if this could help you or maybe someone that you know. This is the place for you, too. And this podcast is just one of the many resources Joette offers to help you — wherever you are on your journey. But let’s get started with today’s podcast. Joette, give us an overview of the topic of our discussion today. It’s a good one. The way most people remember their remedies Joette: (01:55) Okay. So, let’s start with homeopathy being an academic pursuit, but it’s much more than that. And I’m going to give you some insight into that today. The way most people remember remedies — learning the materia medica — is by taking cases and observing their successes by using homeopathy. I guarantee — pretty much — you’ll likely never forget when you helped that little girl down the street with hives by using, say, Urtica urens and seeing a big shift. You’ll never forget the remedy you used when it helped your husband with that horrible pain after that fall. You might forget the medicine that helped you with your cough. But when it’s touching you on an emotional level — like when you’re helping a family member or a friend or a pet or even an animal from the wild — it’s more likely you’ll not forget it. So, let me give you an example. The story of the injured bird Joette: (02:55) Let’s say a bird flew into your window. And this has happened to me a couple of times, and I’ll never forget the combination of the medicines that I used. The first one I thought of, of course, was Arnica because the bird — being that it flew into the window — hit its head. Arnica is one of our best medicines for a head injury. Now, I did not know whether or not the bird was in pain, and you might not know this either, but we do know that there was a head injury. And one time, when we had a bird that flew into our window, I gave it Symphytum with Calc phos as a combination. And I did that because the bird’s head was cocked to one side. And I assumed that there may have been an injury to the spine or to the neck or et cetera. So, I made that connection. Not sure of it, of course, but certainly, we knew Arnica, and then I added Symphytum plus Calc phos. Arnica: a sweeping medicine But did you know that Arnica has so many other uses? It is one of our most sweeping homeopathic medicines. And there are many medicines like this in our materia medica, but Arnica, because it is such a well-known medicine, ought to strongly be considered for many other conditions as well. For example, Arnica’s a great remedy for insomnia, for sleeplessness. I learned that from my own mother, who started to use it. She knew only the name of the medicine, Arnica, when I first started learning homeopathy myself. And she just remembered the name, and a couple of nights she had some insomnia and took Arnica, and it worked! And that was news to me. (This was back in the 80s.)

This is the medicine you’ve been searching for — my unique brand of homeopathy, PRACTICAL Homeopathy®. Introduction: The ‘C’ Remedy for Colic, Cramps and Cysts Kate: (01:00) Welcome back to the Practical Homeopathy® Podcast with Joette. I’m your co-host, Kate, and I’m looking forward to today’s topic because we’re diving into a homeopathic medicine that I believe every household should keep close at hand. And in just a moment, Joette, our Practical Homeopathy® founder and trusted expert, will explain exactly why. But before we jump in, I want to welcome all of you. You are in the right place today. If your goal is to become a confident, capable healer in your own family, this podcast is just one of the many resources Joette offers to do just that. So, let’s get started. Hi, Joette. Joette: Hi, Kate. This is so great. This is a very interesting topic today. Kate: It is! What sparked our topic of discussion today is a question from one of your Mighties Plus members. So, some of our listeners might be asking, what is Mighties Plus? And do you want to explain it to them just a bit, Joette? What is Mighties Plus? Joette: (01:59) Mighties Plus is a virtual group. We meet each month, where I’ll get your questions answered. And there’s much more because there’s also that community. And so, we also have a special lesson in Mighties Plus for each month, so that members can study. We have those who have been in Mighties Plus for a little while. We have them give us exciting success stories. And then, we have Remedy Riddles and all kinds of fun things that keep it alive and interesting. So, it’s not just me answering questions. Kate: So, one of those things in your Mighties Plus membership site is the flashcards that give keynotes for various homeopathic medicines. And it’s a great way — for whether it’s adults or even children — to learn the keynotes of the medicines. For those people who may not know what a keynote is, can you explain that, Joette? What are homeopathic medicine keynotes? Joette: (02:49) Well, each of our homeopathic medicines have sweeping, grand ability. They can touch on so many aspects of human suffering and human health. But there are specific aspects of each of them that rise to the top — certain abilities of these medicines — and we call them keynotes. It’s an appropriate name because these are the key aspects of this particular medicine. So, for those who only know a little bit about Arnica montana, you would understand that — Arnica montana — one of the keynotes, is elements from an injury. So, soft tissue or hard tissue injury would be met with Arnica. That’s a keynote of Arnica montana. Keynotes of homeopathic Colocynthis Kate: (3:30) So, in our last Mighties Plus live, one of the students — which is what sparked this episode, actually —asked you, “Does the homeopathic medicine Colocynthis work for just GI pain (because that’s what you were talking about) related to bullying? Or would it also help with GI pain related to anxiety?” So, can you take us through how to think about this question, and why it was a good question. Joette: Well, I discussed that moment in Mighties Plus. I was describing a case that I had taken years ago about an adolescent boy who had been bullied and had tremendous GI pain. He was practically unable to go to school most days because of this pain, and it was related to having been bullied. And those are tw

So, for the next few minutes, let’s link our arms as I demystify homeopathy — what was once considered an esoteric paradigm — into an understandable, reproducible, safe and effective health care solution available to all. This is the medicine you’ve been searching for — my unique brand of homeopathy, PRACTICAL Homeopathy®. Real-World Integration of Practical Homeopathy® and Conventional Care Kate: (00:58) Welcome back to the Practical Homeopathy® Podcast. I’m Kate, and today’s guest is going to talk about how she integrates homeopathy into her existing health practice without abandoning the credentials, training and experience as a medical professional. I’m thrilled to be joined by someone who embodies this balance beautifully. Michelle is a nurse and a homeopath who works alongside her physician-husband. She’s also gone through The Academy of Practical Homeopathy® and is now finishing the second year, which is the Mastery program. So today, she’s here to talk about how to introduce homeopathy to people steeped in the allopathic world. Michelle, welcome to the podcast. Michelle: Thank you, Kate. It’s good to be with you today. Kate: I’m so glad you’re here. You have a very unique and exciting perspective, and I’m thrilled for you to be able to share with the listeners. Michelle: Thank you. I’m glad to be here as well. Health care professionals seeking to incorporate both allopathy and homeopathy Kate: (01:56) So, tell me about what you’ve noticed. When we talked earlier, you said some things about nurses who are giving up their positions and their licenses because they’re wanting to go into homeopathy, and they’re not really sure how to incorporate both of those paradigms. Can you talk to us about that? Michelle: Yeah, especially through the last several months and getting to meet everyone, and there’s so many RNs. And I would say other health care professionals, too, that I’ve met along the way in my study groups, as well as the broader sense of the school, that so many of them seem to feel like they have to give up their nursing license or their doctor or physical therapy license in order to practice homeopathy because of the scope of practice. And I don’t know the laws in every state. However, I’m in Florida. Florida’s pretty friendly with combining those. And I just find that for us in our private practice, I find it very beneficial to have one foot in the allopathic world, as I call it, and one foot in the homeopathic world — in the sense that there’s so many things, especially that you can teach patients or clients, that they can take something homeopathically and not have side effects. Oftentimes, when they’ll come into our office, I have lots of remedies right in our office. And they can see those, and they will ask me questions about them. And we usually start with simple things like heartburn, or if they’re having issues with sleep, or as a woman with menopausal symptoms. And Boiron does a beautiful job of making remedies sort of “shelf attractive” to people that are used to more Big Pharma over-the-counter type things. And so, I educate them on some of their choices so that they don’t have to be on more Big Pharma medicines. And the reason not to be is that there’s so many side effects with the synthetic drugs in our world today. So, I feel like I can win more people over to homeopathy, and ultimately, it’s better for the person. A lot of people just don’t know. They’ve never heard of homeopathy, or that they misunderstand it. They think that it is natural or herbal, and they aren’t sure. Functional medicine, I think, has come into play and confused waters even more. So, it does take some explainin

So, for the next few minutes, let’s link our arms as I demystify homeopathy — what was once considered an esoteric paradigm — into an understandable, reproducible, safe and effective health care solution available to all.

Introduction: “But my doctor said …” Kate: (01:00) Welcome to the Practical Homeopathy® podcast with Joette, where we empower you to take charge of your family’s health with Practical Homeopathy®. I’m your host, Kate, and I’m here today with Joette, your teacher and mentor and the founder of Practical Homeopathy®. Today’s episode is for everyone who has ever walked out of a doctor’s office feeling perhaps dismissed or maybe confused — not sure you’ve been given an effective solution. Well, Joette is here today to pull back the curtain on the phrase we’ve all heard, “But my doctor said …” So, get ready because this podcast is going to give you courage and clarity. Joette will share why even the best doctors can be wrong (or maybe their knowledge limited), why the hidden costs of blind trust in titles and white coat can be deceiving. How to find those rare doctors who actually do think outside the box, and the life-changing moment when you finally put the mask on and see what homeopathy can really do. Joette will explain that a little more later; it’s not what you think. Hi, Joette. Joette: Hi, Kate. We’re talking about a different kind of mask, but we’ll get into it. Kate: Yes, exactly. It’s a really great analogy that you have. So, Joette, as we get started today, what were you referring to when you said, “But my doctor said …” There is a price for convenience Joette: (02:25) Let’s start with this idea. We have to step back a little bit. The idea that I want to get across today is that there is a price for convenience. We all know that convenience foods, convenience drugs — conveniences — we pay for them on one level or another. It’s easy to go along with conveniences because … there it is. That also is the same for it’s easy to go along with what the doctor said because it’s convenient! It can represent work if we must figure this out ourselves or dig about and find another doctor, maybe not even in our area. We may even have to travel, drive a distance, maybe even fly a distance, depending on the degree of the condition or the degree of commitment, or … you know, it depends on the situation, of course. So, we have to be very careful, too, because it’s easy also to get the wrong information. And what I mean by that is that if you ask a friend who their cardiologist is, it’s likely a cardiologist that’s well-known in your area. And the reason I say that is because I know that many doctors — not all — but many doctors are master marketers, and they’ve been labeled “the best cardiologist in the county” or “the best allergist” in that hospital. And maybe the doctor is the best cardiologist or the best allergist. But you want to be sure that the information you’re getting is not because the doctor is a great marketer. And so, we may have to travel to find truly the best. That can take some time that may require you to do some research. And it depends on what you mean — and what the doctor means — by “the best.” Now, for my money, I want to know that a doctor thinks out of the box. I don’t want someone who is told what to do by the pharmaceutical rep that trots up to his office and keeps his training up to snuff with the drugs that she brings in. I want a doctor who eschews drugs, will do everything he or she possibly can to help a patient get off of drugs or to not get on them in the first place. I want someone who’s aware of the

Introduction: How To Direct Our Teens To Step Into Adulthood With Responsibility: What Is Our Role? Kate: (01:00) Welcome to another episode of the Practical Homeopathy® Podcast with Joette. I’m Kate, and I’m here today with Joette. Joette: Hi, Kate. Kate: Hi. Today, we’re going to talk about parenting. And you’re going to share your thoughts on a topic that’s close to many parents’ hearts, and that is guiding our children into responsible adulthood and understanding our role in that journey. Joette, you’re going to share your personal experiences today, including the advice that you give your own children — or I should say “gave,” as they graduated high school — and how your relationship with your father shaped the way you guided your teen children. Joette, let’s begin with you sharing about your father’s influence in your life, and why do you advocate for, let’s call them, I guess, “guardrails.” I like that image of when you go bowling, and they put down those guardrails for the people that are just brand new bowlers, and it guides that bowling ball to the pins. I like that image, and it helps you to hit the mark … or hit the pins. So, talk about that for a bit. My parents were very strict Joette: (02:06) Well, let me start by saying that when I was growing up, my parents were anything but laissez-faire parents. And I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with that because if it works for a family, then that’s just fine. My parents were very strict. They were not helicopter parents at all. We were outside playing all day long. Sometimes, I didn’t see them for many hours. There were a lot of kids on the street. But once I got to puberty — high school — my parents became very strict. I was the only one that had to be in hours before their friends. My father was adamant about curfews, and my mother was adamant about what I wore. I felt hemmed in. And ˆI can call them guardrails, but then, I was resentful. I’ll be honest, I really hated it. I hated that my parents were so strict. My parents were certainly American, but they were first-generation Sicilian American, and so a lot of the older ways they brought into their parenting. I grew up in a neighborhood where everyone was Irish American, and it was their grandparents and great-grandparents who would come over, and so we were closer to the original European thinking, especially southern European thinking, and I resented it. In fact, I hated it. But I have to say, I did (in the back of my mind) — as much as I felt hemmed in — I knew that the reason that I was hemmed in was because they cared so much. I knew that I was very loved. I always felt very loved by both of them. And my brother and I talk about it, even to this day, that we never felt anything but love and care towards us, even though they were strict. Now, I look back, and I can see that they were putting in the extra effort — which was not easy for them because they were fighting against society at that time, too — to keep us in line. Now, I’m not going to tell you that it worked — constantly worked. There were plenty of times where I was able to sneak around here and get away with this or that, but I always knew that I would be in trouble. So, it hemmed me into a certain degree if I did anything that was really outside of those guardrails. Now, my parents encouraged me also. And they encouraged me to go to college, and, of course, my brother, too. My parents assumed that I would become a piano teacher because

Introduction: Practical Homeopathy® Success Stories: From the Family to the Farm Kate: (01:00) Welcome to the Practical Homeopathy® Podcast, where we dive into the world of Practical Homeopathy with real stories and how homeopathy has transformed lives. I’m Kate, and I’m joined today by Melissa. She’s a Practical Homeopath™ who lives on a small farm in Nebraska and is passionate about helping her family, friends, clients, and even her Guernsey cows using homeopathy. She’s going to share, today, her journey and experiences. Melissa learned the art of homeopathy through Joette’s Academy and Mastery programs. She has some amazing stories to share with us about how this gentle medicine has made a difference in her life and those around her. So, let’s get started. Welcome, Melissa. Melissa: Hi, Kate. I’m so honored and excited to be here. I think I’ve listened to every single previous podcast, and I’ve learned so much from everyone’s stories. Kate: Oh, it is great to hear about people’s success stories with homeopathy. I find it so inspiring, and I, too, am honored to be able to talk with people about how they’re using homeopathy. So, I’m excited about what you’re going to share today, Melissa. You have some pretty amazing things to share with us. So, let’s get started. Can you tell us about your life on your small farm in Nebraska with your cows? I know they mean the world to you. Melissa: Yeah, I love my life on my small farm in Nebraska. It’s so beautiful and peaceful here, and I get to connect with a lot of people. I even end up writing remedy suggestions on paper towels in the milk room. People come in with their ailments, and I’m able to give them some suggestions. So, that’s fun. And giving the remedies to the cows is a lot of fun … to see them turn around with a homeopathic remedies and just to watch them. They come up, and they want their remedies. They’ve taken them since they were little calves. How do you give homeopathy to cows? Kate: (02:57) So, do you just put them — the pellets — into their mouths, or how do you do it? Melissa: I actually dissolve the remedies in syringes of water and then squirt them in their mouth. It’s hard to keep a big cow’s mouth closed while the pellets dissolve. Kate: I know because I’ve done it with horses. And I’ll actually kind of just put my hand gently under their mouth as they’re chewing to keep them from putting their head down and everything just falling out. Melissa: Yeah, for sure. Kate: Yeah, there’s a lot of ways I think that you can give homeopathy to animals, and so thanks for sharing that. So, tell me, what sparked your interest in homeopathy? An interest in natural healing and helping people led to Joette Melissa: (03:33) I have always had an interest in just more natural healing and just a heart for helping people with that. It’s about 13 or 14 years ago, my mom actually came across Joette’s blog and showed it to me. I just kind of took that and ran with it. I devoured everything that Joette wrote. I read through all of her blogs. Anything I could find during

This is the medicine you’ve been searching for — my unique brand of homeopathy, PRACTICAL Homeopathy®. Introduction: Why Did You Stop Taking the Remedies? Kate: (01:00) Hello and welcome back to the Practical Homeopathy® Podcast with Joette. I’m Kate, and whether you are a longtime listener or joining us for the first time, we’re so glad that you’re here. Today’s episode is one I think many of us can relate to, especially those of us who’ve been using homeopathy and have seen results either for ourselves or our loved ones. So, today we’re asking the question: Why do people stop taking the homeopathic medicines that are helping them, and what’s going on when something is clearly working, and yet we drop it? So, Joette is going to help us shed some light on this mystery in today’s episode. Whether it’s forgetfulness, skepticism, or just falling back into old habits, we’ll be talking about what’s behind this and, more importantly, how to stay on track with homeopathy. Hi, Joette. Joette: Hi, Kate. I think this is a compelling subject. It’s super-common that people kind of lose track of what they’re doing. Working with clients for all of these years, I find that many of them are really tight to their schedule, and they stay true to it — the schedule of remedies, two remedies or maybe, sometimes, even three remedies. And others, when I meet with them, they’re not doing so well. And the first question I have to ask is, “Well, have you been taking the remedies since the last time we met?” And I get a variety of answers to that question, but one of the most common is that “No, I stopped taking that because I just wasn’t sure,” or “I ran out,” or “I forgot.” This is so common. I think it’s just part of human nature. Most people don’t even like to take pills at all — even though these are not the usual pills. They’re not the big fat purple pill, and they’re certainly palatable. But when you’re feeling better, you’re not thinking about, “I need to do something about not feeling better,” because you’ve improved. Kate: Right? And you can stop taking the remedies when you are feeling better. I think the question is — the reason we brought this up, Joette — is because I have a friend that I’ve noticed that when they stop taking the homeopathic medicine, then they fall into the same … symptoms start reappearing, and they don’t even notice it. And then I ask the question, “Well, are you taking the homeopathic medicine?” And they say, “Oh, no, I forgot,” because they were better for a period of time. But now it’s creeped in a little bit again, and so they need to start taking it again. But they didn’t realize it. And so, that’s what we were talking about when this question came up, and … Falling Back Into the Status Quo Joette: (03:28) Well, what happens is they fall back into the status quo, and they say, “Well,” when you say … So, if you were to ask them, “How long have you had those joint pains?” And they might say, “Oh, my goodness, for 25 years.” But what we really are asking is the comparison from the last time we met with that person (and we try to keep up with meeting with them every couple of months, if we’re talking about clients). But even if we’re talking about friends, what we want to know is “You were doing well” “Yes.” (You have to put together a timeline of essence.) “Yes.” “You were doing well while you were taking the medicine?” “Yes, that’s correct.” “And then you felt well enough that you could back off.” “That’s correct.” All good stuff. This is exactly where we want to go. But then it came back again.

This is the medicine you’ve been searching for — my unique brand of homeopathy, PRACTICAL Homeopathy®. Introduction: Quashing the Pain of Fibromyalgia With Homeopathy: Rhus tox Kate: (01:00) Hello and welcome back to the Practical Homeopathy® Podcast with Joette. I’m Kate, and as always, we are thrilled to have you joining us today. If you are new here, welcome. This is the place where we dive deep into the power of homeopathy and how it can offer real, practical solutions for you and your family. Today, we’re exploring the topic of fibromyalgia. It’s a condition that’s often misunderstood and notoriously difficult to manage using conventional approaches. But what if there was another way, a gentler yet powerful system of healing that addresses this chronic condition? Well, that’s exactly what we’re diving into today with Joette: how homeopathy can offer and help those suffering from fibromyalgia. We’ll be talking about some real cases, practical remedies, and what makes the homeopathic approach so unique and effective. So, let’s get started. Hi, Joette. Personal Experience Dealing With Fibromyalgia Joette: (02:00) Hi, Kate. This is one of my favorite subjects, you know. I used to have fibromyalgia, and I’ve actually written about it. I think it might even be on my blog, but I think it’s time to go over it again because it’s such a common condition, particularly for women. And it’s something that seems like all we can do is take an analgesic, and it simply is not so. In fact, analgesics only cause more trouble. Some of them cause liver disease and cause gut problems, and we can keep going on all the problems that are related to taking drugs just to soften some pain. And all that does is it drives the condition to a deeper state and causes more conditions that we call side effects. And side effects, my friends — I have to just add this one little aspect to this — doesn’t mean that it just happens right away, and you know what it is and okay, and you’re calculating it into your determination or a decision as to whether or not you want to stay with the drug. No, no. Side effects can be very subversive without us ever really realizing. They can cause liver damage that you’ll never know, or you may not know for many years. They may cause side effects that seem like, “Oh, no, that’s not a side effect, that’s just aging.” No, my friends, we don’t want any “effects” from a drug. We want to use a medicine that’s relatively safe — as long as it’s used properly — is relatively safe, is efficacious, and is very inexpensive and often resolves the condition once and for all. And that’s why I say that I really appreciate this particular condition or subject we’re talking about today, because this topic is dear to my heart. As a result of having used homeopathy, I no longer have fibromyalgia. Symptoms of Fibromyalgia Kate: (03:43) Joette, can you talk about the symptoms of fibromyalgia? Because I think everyone has heard the word fibromyalgia, but they may not know what it actually is or what the symptoms might be. Joette: Well, “myalgia” means pain, and “fibro” means fibrous tissue, such as muscles — mostly muscles — but it can also be tendons. And there’s a tendency for there to be a kind of tenderness. And so, the muscles are inflamed; they’re in pain. So, there’s a tenderness, but it’s also accompanied by a couple of other sy

This is the medicine you’ve been searching for — my unique brand of homeopathy, PRACTICAL Homeopathy®. Introduction: From Hopeless to Hopeful, Homeopathy Addresses Serious Conditions. Kate: (00:58) Welcome to the Practical Homeopathy® podcast, where we dive into the transformative world of Practical Homeopathy® and how it empowers families to take charge of their health. I’m your host, Kate. And today I’m thrilled to introduce our guest, Shannon, a remarkable woman whose journey with homeopathy is nothing short of inspiring. Shannon is a dedicated stay-at-home homeschooling mom of three on a small farm near the Amish community in southeastern Pennsylvania. Shannon and her family embrace a holistic lifestyle, where they raise chickens, goats, and even pigs to ensure they know exactly what’s in their food. Her passion for natural living began 20 years ago when she started exploring the impact of food and lifestyle on health, leading her to embrace organic eating, fermented foods, and traditional practices, inspired by the Weston A. Price Foundation. From crafting bone broth to sourdough bread with freshly milled flour, Shannon’s commitment to a chemical-free life is truly inspiring, but it’s her journey with homeopathy that we’re here to talk about today. Shannon’s introduction to homeopathy began with her son’s diagnosis and a classical homeopath’s suggestion to explore homeopathy. This eventually led her to Joette’s teachings. Homeopathy was also instrumental to help her husband who suffered a devastating accident. We’ll hear more about these incredible stories in just a few minutes, and you won’t believe what this family has been through. Now, on a lighter note, Shannon is a soon-to-be graduate of Joette’s Mastery program. She’s taken her knowledge to new heights, helping others with complex health issues, from supporting a woman with chronic Lyme, Epstein-Barr, and mold toxicity to helping a man lower his PSA levels naturally. Shannon’s success stories highlight the power of homeopathy. Her message is clear. There is another way, and there is hope. So, let’s get started. Shannon, welcome to the podcast. Shannon: Thank you, Kate. It’s wonderful to see you again. Kate: It’s great to see you. We’ve known each other for a little while now. It’s been about four years, I think you said, since you joined our Gateway to Practical Homeopathy® study group. And so, that was fun getting to know you then. And since that time, you’ve really taken your knowledge of homeopathy to a new level. And I would love to just hear a little bit more about the story of what happened, how you got into homeopathy and where it’s led you. It All Began With a Diagnosis of Neurofibromatosis Shannon: (03:27) Sure, Kate, thank you. I love sharing my story. So, it began with my oldest son, who is 16. (We do have three children. So, I have another son who’s 14, and our daughter is 12.) And he was diagnosed with neurofibromatosis type 1. Kate: What is neurofibromatosis? Did I say that right? Shannon: You did. What that is … it’s a rare genetic disease, and it causes tumors to grow on the outside jacket of your nerve, and they can grow anywhere in your body. Now, 20% of these cases have what’s called a plexi n

Introduction: Homeopathic Stramonium for Violent Tendencies Kate: (01:00) Hi, and welcome to the Practical Homeopathy® podcast. I’m Kate, and I’m thrilled to be here with you today as we explore the wisdom and real-life applications of Practical Homeopathy® with Joette, where homeopathy is distilled down to be practical and accessible to moms, dads, grandparents, and even busy college students and skeptical uncles who just want results. Joette has spent her decades teaching families how to take the reins of their health using time-tested homeopathic protocols that are simple, effective, and most importantly, doable. Hi, Joette. Joette: Hi, Kate. We’ve got an interesting case to go over today, haven’t we? Kate: Yes, we do. So, we’re going to talk about how to find the right medicine. So, turning the tables a little bit. I think you are going to ask me some questions about a case that I’ve encountered recently. So, let’s get started. The Emotional Case of a Young Man Joette: (01:57) Yes. As I recall, this was a case of a young man, right? Kate: Right. Yes. Joette: And he had some behavioral problems. Kate, why don’t you explain what behavioral and plaguing thoughts and then an interesting history. Kate: Right. So, we’re going to focus on some of the emotional components of this case. There are some other things that came into play, but as you say, Joette, “Look at what symptoms are the most prominent.” And it’s clear in this case that the emotional component was definitely the most serious — the most dire — of the symptoms. So, I’ll talk a little bit about it. There was some violent thoughts, like wanting to kick people — so, almost rage. And the person was embarrassed by the fact that they’re thinking this. They don’t know where it’s come from, but it was really plaguing thoughts of just wanting to reach out in anger. And I don’t know if this person actually kicked the door at one point or not, but it was pretty severe as far as the almost depression and the rage. Joette: And he was about how he wanted to do that. He wanted to hurt someone. Kate: Yes. Joette: He wanted to kick someone or harm someone, and it turned out that he kicked the door. But that’s as far as he went, at least as far as we know. Kate: Right. Yeah. I don’t think it was action as much as just those plaguing thoughts. Joette: Plaguing thoughts. Right. So, how has this case opened, Kate? Kate: The person is someone that has used homeopathy on and off for years. So, they did, at one point, take Camphor. Joette: So, this is a person whose mother has been using homeopathy on and off for years. Kate: Yeah. Correct. Joette: Right. It’s in his blood of sorts. He knows enough to start thinking this through and asking for some help homeopathically. Kate: Right. And when the mother started thinking about it, she realized that at one point her son had a head injury, and so that played into it. But even though it was a pretty prominent head injury, where there was actually some broken bones in the back … Joette: And so, do we know how long ago that injury occurred before the case was taken regarding these? Kate: I think it was about a year or so. Joette: Okay. My guess is, if the mom knew — I’m just going to take a guess on this, and correct me if I’m wrong — she knows enough homeopathy, she probably treated that injury. Kate: Yes. Joette: At the time, correct? Kate: Correct. Joe

This is the medicine you’ve been searching for — my unique brand of homeopathy, PRACTICAL Homeopathy®. Introduction: I Can Predict Your Future Kate: (01:00) Welcome back to the Practical Homeopathy® podcast with Joette Calabrese. I am your co-host, Kate. And I’m thrilled to be here with Joette, our homeopathy expert, who always shares her wisdom and practical insights and experiences so that you can become a confident healer in your family. Today, we’re diving into a fascinating topic: the art and power of observation and homeopathy, or what we’re calling “I Can Predict Your Future.” I know you’ve got some insights, Joette, to share about how observing people — and even pets — can reveal so much about their health and guide us to the right remedies. So, let’s get started, right? Joette: Yes. Hi, Kate. Kate: Today, you’re going to tell us how we can predict our future or the future of someone else. Joette: That’s right. As you know — I have to say this — that one of the most powerful tools in homeopathy isn’t a remedy bottle necessarily, or repertory, or even a materia medica. It’s our ability to observe. So, within a few minutes of meeting someone, I can often get a sense of whether they’re headed toward a robust, vibrant life or if they’re veering towards illness. And it’s not about judgment. It’s about noticing patterns and priorities that tell a story about their health and their thinking. The Art of Observation: What Are We Looking For? Kate: (02:21) That’s so interesting. Tell us more about that. What kinds of things are you looking for when you observe someone? Joette: Well, sometimes it starts with the little details. For example, what are they drinking? Are they sipping sparkling water, or is it a martini? (And maybe the second or third one.) What they choose gives a window … What they choose to drink gives us a window into their priorities. Are they reading a book on self-improvement? You can find that out by talking to them and asking them what they do in their spare time. Are they consumed — you can see this immediately — by gossip or about complaints. And are there conversations focused on problems like an upcoming … an event? Caring for a loved one? And it depends on how they care for that loved one. Is it done with joy? Is it done with humor? Is it done with a burdened attitude? Or raising their children. Raising their children with intention or saying, “Well, I don’t know how to do that, so I just go to the doctor and get a medication for the child. I don’t have any interest in learning how to take care of this or that. That’s the doctor’s job.” But I also notice physical cues, and those are the ones we see right away. I mean — these others that I’ve just discussed — are, really, once you get into a conversation with someone. But physical cues: Where is their weight distributed? For example, if the weight is all in the belly, then we start thinking about insulin resistance. How they carry themselves: Are their shoulders back or their shoulders leaning forward? And how they speak: If they look you in the eye, and they speak to you with intention. These things aren’t just random. They’re clues to their overall, I don’t know, shall we say, vitality and their overall attitude towards life. Now, I don’t want to be unfair. I have to say this, that there are times when we all have downsides in our lives. To catch a vignette of someone’s life could be unfair. They might’ve just gotten really bad news. And they’re normally buoyant, but right now they’re thinking differently, and it feels as though the weight of the world

So, for the next few minutes, let’s link our arms as I demystify homeopathy — what was once considered an esoteric paradigm — into an understandable, reproducible, safe and effective health care solution available to all. This is the medicine you’ve been searching for — my unique brand of homeopathy, PRACTICAL Homeopathy®. Introduction: Chronic Fatigue Through the Lens of Practical Homeopathy® Kate: (01:00) Hi Joette. Joette: Hi, Kate. Kate: Today, we have a subject that I think a lot of people encounter, and that is chronic fatigue. We just had a long conversation about it, and you have some amazing insights of how people can think about chronic fatigue, because that diagnosis can sound scary. But it can also be a little misleading and not help us to get to what we should use homeopathically. So, can you let us know how we should think about it if we hear the words “chronic fatigue?” “Syndrome” Sounds Scary Joette: (01:31) Well, often, it’s called “chronic fatigue syndrome, which means that there are other aspects to the condition other than just the fatigue. Kate: Well, and it makes it sound scary too, right? “Syndrome.” Joette: Yeah, syndrome, I know. But syndrome doesn’t necessarily mean that. It means that there are a couple of additional conditions that are associated with the main condition — kind of like satellite conditions. In the world of Practical Homeopathy®, knowing the name of a condition or a diagnosis can be useful. After all, there are well-established protocols for many ailments. But sometimes those labels can be misleading, especially when they come from a medical, a conventional or a functional medicine approach. And they might sound super-precise, but they often fail to give us the true nature of what’s going on so that we can make a good decision on choosing a homeopathic medicine. Challenging the “One Size Fits All” Definition of Chronic Fatigue Kate: (02:23) Well, today we’re going to challenge some of that thinking and those intimidating diagnoses, Joette. So, help us to reframe our thinking when we hear chronic fatigue or chronic fatigue syndrome, and how do we zero in on the symptoms that really matter? So, help us to know how do we think about it? How do we frame our thinking so that we can dial in on and find a correct homeopathic medicine? Joette: Sure. Well, chronic fatigue. There is a protocol — and there is a Banerji protocol — for chronic fatigue, and you’ll find other protocols as well for chronic fatigue, in general. But what’s probably more important in this particular situation is what’s happening in that person’s life? Is this a person … let’s say a woman who just had her third baby, and the baby was born, say, five months ago. And she still feels fatigued after the birth. We’re really not even supposed to feel fatigue after a birth. We should feel exhilarated, but she’s feeling fatigue after the birth. We can call that chronic fatigue, but there’s an underlying hormonal issue here. How about people who eat a lot of carbohydrates? They have Kix for breakfast with skim milk, and then for lunch they have a peanut butter sandwich, and then for dinner they might have a little protein with rice or pasta on the side. And they have chronic fatigue, thinking nothing of those kinds of meals that could be potentially causing a fatigue that’s related to what they’re eating. And then what about someone who has just come out of surgery — say, a month ago — and ever since then they’ve been fatigued? Well, first of all, surgery is like World War II on your body. That’s a big deal. You’re being generally anesthesed. You are being cut open! You are being given an antibiotic. You are given an anti-inflammatory, steroids afterwards, et cetera, et cetera. There’s so many drugs: tranquilizer to fall asleep because you&

Introduction: Silicea Helps the Body Successfully Push Out Painful, Embedded Foreign Objects and Much More Kate: (01:00) Welcome to the Practical Homeopathy® podcast. I’m Kate, and I’m here with Joette. Hi, Joette. Joette: Hi Kate, and actually, hi to many, but we’re going to find out more about that in a minute, right? Kate: Yes. Today, we have a very special gathering of some of your inspiring students who are going to share their real stories, their successes, surprises and heartfelt moments. And they’ve been using a homeopathic medicine called Silicea, along with many others. So, we are going to welcome them here to share their stories. What Is Silicea? Joette: (01:30) Hi, ladies. So, we’re going to talk about Silicea, and there are the top 100 homeopathic medicines we can use. There are the top 300, if we want to go a little bit deeper. There are the top thousand. Silicea is just one of them. But it was so fascinating when we started to talk about this in one of the classes. Everyone just came up with fascinating stories of their use of Silicea, which is made from flint. And for those of you who know anything about homeopathy, it is a cell salt. Doesn’t mean it’s any different than any other medicine. It just is in its own special little category. I’m dying to hear the stories. I’ve kind of heard little bits and pieces, but I haven’t heard the full picture, the full measure of everyone. So, I’m looking forward to getting to know what these stories are. Silicea for Bunions (and Pushing Out Glass From an Old Car Accident) Kate: (02:10): All right, so let’s start with Christy. Welcome to the podcast, Christy. Christy: Hi, Kate. It’s so fun to be here today. See everyone and meet some new faces. Joette: Christy, you have a story about your mom. Christy: Yes, I do. Joette: And glass, please relay that. I remember that story. It’s pretty interesting. Christy: Yeah, it’s pretty crazy. Yeah. My mother and I were going through the Gateway courses, and we were studying the cell salts. And she’s a nurse, so, she’s pretty self-reliant and used to practicing things on herself. So, she wasn’t shy about diving right in, and she noticed all the things that Silicea was appropriate for. So, she began to take Silicea, especially for her bunions. After about two weeks, the strangest thing started to happen. She had tiny shards of glass coming out of her face. So, at first, she didn’t know what it was, and then she realized it was glass from a car accident she had been in over 25 years ago. So … Joette: She was working on bunions on one end and on the other end … So, did it frighten her? Christy: No, it didn’t frighten her. She kept taking the Silicea, and more and more glass started coming out of her face and her head. But after a while, she was kind of getting tired of it, so she decided maybe she’d try some higher potencies to see if it moved things along. But what she noticed was that larger pieces were coming out, but
