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

Joette: Hi, I’m Joette Calabrese, and I welcome you to our health care movement — yours, mine and the countless men and women across the globe who have retaken control of their families’ health with Practical Homeopathy®. 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: 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

I’m Kate, and I’m so glad that you’re here with us today. We have a heartfelt and inspiring episode for you. I’m joined by Jordan, a mom whose story is a shining example of what calm confidence and the right knowledge can do, especially when it matters most. She’ll be sharing how her understanding and experience with Practical Homeopathy® helped her to navigate a potentially serious health issue: cellulitis in one of her children. You’ll hear how Jordan stayed grounded through the uncertainty, trusted what she knew, and took action in a way that supported her daughter’s recovery beautifully. So, whether you’re new to homeopathy or a seasoned user, this episode will leave you feeling encouraged and empowered. Welcome to the podcast, Jordan. Jordan: Happy to be back. Thanks for having me again, Kate. Kate: Yes! So, you might have heard Jordan’s story in a previous podcast. It was Podcast 99, where she shared her story. So, you might want to take a listen to that when you have some time. But Jordan is one of the team members at JoetteCalabrese.com. She is actually an amazing writer. In fact, if you’re a Mighties Plus member, you may have experienced her delightful writing. She helps with those Remedy Riddles we all know and love and are posted each month. If you’re not a Mighties Plus member, and you don’t know what we’re talking about, you can find that information at JoettesLearningCenter.com. Check it out. It’s a really great community. Jordan, thank you for being with us, and you’re going to share mostly about a case of cellulitis that you dealt with, with your daughter. So, let’s just dive in. Can you tell us what happened? I Thought They Were Bites Jordan: (02:49) Yeah, so my daughter, Zélie, was just over a year old when this happened. So, she was very little, and it began with what seemed to be a few bites on her legs — very red, hard, swollen, definitely looked painful. The first time I noticed them was when I was changing her diaper right before bedtime. And when I saw the bites, I thought she had been off that day. She woke up early from her nap crying, and she’s normally very cheery and bubbly. But she was just not her normal cheery self that day. So, when I saw the bites, I thought, “Okay, this makes sense.” I gave a few doses of Ledum 200 and put her to bed and then kept a close eye on it through the night. Whenever she woke up to nurse during the night — which is very typical for her, she nurses quite a bit — I would give her a dose of Ledum and feel her legs to see if this swelling was going down. And it was. So, I was feeling very encouraged and thought, “Okay, good. This is going to be gone quickly.” The next morning, looked at her legs, and they definitely looked better initially. They were flatter, and they were fading. But then it took a wrong

Introduction: From Freaking to Fabulous Success Stories Kate: (01:00) Hi, I am Kate, and I want to welcome you back to the podcast. We love it that you’re here with us. Today, I have a special Mom with Moxie with me, and if you want to know if homeopathy can help you or your family member with allergies, rashes, anxiety, toenail infections, sunburns, eczema, tailbone injuries, chronic shoulder pain, and so much more, you are in the right place. Suzy’s going to share her homeopathy stories with you and how she learned to address these conditions. So welcome, Suzy. Suzy: Thank you, Kate. It’s great to be here. Kate: Yes, it’s great to see you. Normally, we get to see each other in person at least a few times a year, so it’s fun to see you even if it’s on the screen today. Suzy: Yep. It is a joy to meet you and your team. It’s been great. I love it. Kate: So, tell us a little bit about yourself. Suzy: So, I’m a homeschool mom. My family and I live in South Florida. We’re a big boating family. My husband is a mariner; he’s a captain. I have two boys, 18 and 13, and in all these years, homeopathy has blessed my family in many ways. And, yeah! So, I was always into researching things, and when my son started presenting with severe allergies and asthma issues at five years old, I decided that it was time to look into other modalities because the remedies that were being offered to me with allopathic medicines had a lot of negative side effects. And so, I began searching, and people knew that. And people were sending me articles and things that were further along in their study of natural remedies. And I found Joette, and that was a pivotal moment in all of our lives, because that was nine years ago. I can’t even believe it, nine years. Anyway, it was right when Joette was starting to offer courses, and I think I heard about her right before Allergic?! came out. So, it was a godsend, and it was timely. And we will go more into it, but that was basically how I found Joette and what springboarded me into using homeopathy. Homeopathy — and Joette — Were Life-Changing Kate: (03:02) I love something that you said. “I found Joette after a friend sent me a recording of Joette discussing fevers,” and then you wrote, “Sold.” Suzy: Absolutely. It was life-changing. I had never really heard anybody speak about

Welcome back to the podcast. I’m Kate, and I’m here with Joette today. Hi, Joette! Joette: Hi Kate. How are you? Kate: Good. I’m excited because we are going to be talking about summer remedies to have on hand for things that you do in the summertime (like go to the beach, go camping). And so, we’re going to give the listeners today some important remedies that they might need for things that occur during being out in the sun or getting bug bites. So, let’s get started. Joette: Let’s. Kate: So, I thought we would start with, Joette, the remedies that you would have on hand for all emergencies. And there are many probably, right? Because I always talk about how I bring too many remedies when I go anywhere. But some of the top remedies you would say to have on hand for any emergency, no matter the season, are what? Joette: So, let me first say that I don’t think you can have too many remedies with you when you’re on a vacation or a trip or a weekend or a picnic. I always say. “She who has the most remedies in the end, wins.” Kate: Right. And I always say, “We buy remedies instead of shoes.” Joette: Right, exactly. Yeah, because they last forever. You never wear out a remedy. Can wear out shoes. So, yeah, this is a great topic because it’s, of course, timely. Summer’s coming up, and we want to know what remedies to have on hand before an accident occurs, before a bug bite, before a sunburn, et cetera, et cetera. So, it’s really one of the main aspects of learning homeopathy is being prepared, right? As a mom, as a grandmother, as a scout leader, as a teacher, you want always to be prepared. So, of course, it’s important to have as many remedies as you feel comfortable carrying around and carrying with you, given the season and given the possibilities. Now that we’re talking about summer, then, we can also add the summer conditions such as burns, sunburn, or even a burn from touching a hot coal at the grill at the picnic site. So, we want to be prepared for all of those eventualities as well. Apis mellifica Kate: (03:11) So, I’m going to mention a few, Joette, and then maybe you could talk about why you would bring that remedy with you. So, let’s start with Apis. Joette: Well, Apis is called Apis mellifica. It’s specifically made from a honeybee; meaning homeopathically, it’s derived from a honeybee. So, hence, it’s great for bee stings. Doesn’t have to be a honeybee; it could be a wasp, could be a hornet, could be anything like that. But really, what’s most important is that it shows … the way we know to use it is that it presents as hot and swollen and maybe even water-filled, you know, kind of edematous. So, it’s a great remedy for extreme pain, burning pain — just like an insect bite would be painful — a stinging burning pain. And it swells up and it can be hot to the touch, or a person is experiencing the area as hot. It can be a great medicine for any of those kinds of bites that are not itchy. These are not itchy bites; these are painful bites. “Stings” is really a better way to put it. Kate: And bonus, is that Apis is a great remedy, also, for an allergic reaction to something.

Welcome to the podcast. Hi, Joette and Michelle. Joette: Hi Kate, Michele. Michele: Hi Kate. Hi Joette. Kate: It’s good to be here together with you guys. Today we’re doing something a little bit different. Today, we are going to share a sneak peek into the contents of Joette’s Gateway to Practical Homeopathy® I. And Joette’s going to share some of her insights along the way. So, you may have listened to podcast number 142, where Michelle and I talked about leading a Gateway study group. And we asked the question, “Can anyone lead a Gateway to Practical Homeopathy® study group?” And Michelle, what was your answer? What did we determine by the end of that? Michele: Absolutely anyone can lead a study group. Kate: Yes, yes. So today, we’re going to go deeper into what exactly is in the Gateway study group. So, if you’ve participated in or led a Gateway study group, you’ll want to share this with other people, who you might know, who might be interested. And you’ll still want to listen in because we’re going to share some insights — well, actually, Joette is. So, this might be some new information to you. And if you’re new, this is a great place for you to start. So, with that, I wanted to explain just a little bit about what the Gateway to Practical Homeopathy® entails … and it’s a physical book. You can purchase that book on Joette’s Learning Center. It’s JoettesLearningCenter.com. And there’s also special access online to some additional information, and we’ll get into that a bit later. But Michelle, do you want to explain a little bit more about what they can find on the website that goes along with the book? A website complementing The Gateway to Practical Homeopathy® study guide Michele: (02:35) Sure. In the Learning Center, you’re going to find that there are great resources in there to go along with your study guide. You’re going to have videos to study, and also, as you go through each lesson, you’ll find the homework in there that you need for each lesson there as well. You’ll also find valuable additional, supplemental blogs and information for each of the lessons for those of you who’d like to study further. Joette’s creative vision for the Gateway study group program Kate: (02:59) Okay, great. As we get started, Joette, I would love to hear your vision. Well, I’ve heard it, but so many people haven’t. What was your vision for the Gateway study guide? Joette: Okay, well, first of all, hi friends! It’s great to know that there are people interested in this because there was a time when I would be talking about this subject, and no one was listening. So, now it’s happening. It’s happening in a very exciting way. Many, many, many people — tens of thousands of peopl

This is the medicine you’ve been searching for — my unique brand of homeopathy, PRACTICAL Homeopathy®. Introduction: “How to Raise a Healthy Child in Spite of Your Doctor” Kate: (01:00) Hi, this is Kate and Joette here today. Hi, Joette. Joette: Hi Kate. Kate: Hi. It’s always great to be with you. And when we were talking just a minute ago about the topic that you’re going to cover in today’s podcast, I was kind of giggling to myself because every time we meet, you have so many ideas and topics that you want to share with everyone. And so, it’s just great. We’re overflowing with information to share! Joette: Oh, it never ends because this topic of taking control of your family’s health — yourself — and homeopathy and even foods and meals and philosophy about family, as never ending. Those are some pretty heavy-duty topics that we could go on for decades with. Yeah. Kate: Yeah. But also, you are a very avid reader. You continually go through books and have new ideas. So, you have one of those here. But it’s not necessarily new, is it, Joette? Dr. Robert Mendelsohn Joette: (01:51) No, it’s not. It’s actually an old book, but it’s one of my favorites, and I encourage everyone to own this book. The last printing … last copyright was in 1984. And so, the title of the book is “How to Raise a Healthy Child in Spite of Your Doctor.” Now, this was authored by Dr. Robert Mendelsohn, who was a pediatrician. And I actually remember when he was on television back in the eighties — the early eighties, before I even had my children. I remember him going on Phil Donahue and some other programs like that, those talk shows. Yes, he was on talk shows. So, if you look him up, if you go to YouTube, you’ll find him. You’ll find snippets of him — maybe the entire … Actually, I think one of the entire interviews of him is still up there with Phil Donahue. And he did more than one. He was celebrated partly because of this book and because he was questioning the status quo. And you know how we feel about questioning the status quo. Kate: Now, for those people who have done Gateway to Practical Homeopathy® I, you’re familiar already with this book. You might have read it. That’s part of the curriculum, at least a section of the book. So … Joette: Yeah, so this book, “How to Raise a Healthy Child… in Spite of Your Doctor” is on Amazon, and I’ve bought it for as little as $2, and then it goes up, and then it goes since $8. And I must have, I don’t know, five copies? I’ve given them to my daughter-in-law, and I have a copy in the car and one in the office because this man was an eloquent writer … and prolific, also. He’s written some other great books, too. I have to say that “Confessions of a Medical Heretic” and “Male Practice,” MAL-E Practice … It’s the practice of OBGYN practices, and how they have gone too far — even back in the seventies and eighties —with how women are treated in these specific practices. So, I like everything he’s written. But this one particularly because it’s so useful for mothers. A And what I love about him is that he’s very practical; he’s easily read. He’s got a bit of a caustic edge, which I love. He’s sarcastic, and he’s fun. And if you watch him on YouTube, you’ll see what I’m talking about. He’s got a great personality — or had, he’s no longer with us. Childhood illnesses: We just have to take them with a grain of salt and not worry. Joette: (04:30) So, what’s particularly interesting about this book, there’s not even a whisper of the word

This is the medicine you’ve been searching for — my unique brand of homeopathy, PRACTICAL Homeopathy®. Introduction: Podcast 144 — Moms with Moxie: Success Stories from Horses to Humans Kate: (01:00) Hi, my name is Kate, and I want to welcome you back to the podcast. Whether you’re new here or have been using homeopathy for a long time, we are so glad that you’re here, and I can’t wait for you to meet our guest today. Her name is Jane. Hi, Jane. Jane: Hi, Kate. Thank you for having me. Kate: Yeah, welcome. Jane: I’m very humbled. Kate: As am I. I look forward to hearing your stories. Well, actually, I’ve heard it, but those who are listening have not heard your story yet. And so, let’s just dive right in. Tell us where you’re from and a little bit about yourself. Jane: Well, I’m almost 60 years old. I’ve been a physical therapist for over 30 years. I’ve been married for 30 years, born and raised on a farm in the Midwest, and after high school, I left during the farm crisis. I went to California as a nanny, went to college to be a physical therapist, stayed in California and traveled for 10 years. Then I came back home to help my dad and my mom when my dad was ill, started dating my childhood family friend, and we got married. He had bought his family farm that he was raised on, and it’s an organic farm. So, we’ve been organically farming for many years. We raised nine children. We have one child still at home, and we homeschooled them all through high school, and we have 12 grandchildren. And gradually through those years, we transitioned from what the mainstream medical was to using more alternative medical, natural health, and now, homeopathy, which has been great. We feel that we love the homeopathy because it helps empower us to take care of ourselves and our families. Doesn’t mean we don’t use mainstream medical when we need it. My intro to homeopathy, since I lived in California, I heard of homeopathy, dabbled in it over the years, using Arnica mainly. That was the main thing that seemed to always come back to, like using it topically or with the pellets. Probably 15 or 20 years ago, there was a mom’s homeschool meeting which featured two homeschool moms, and it was about 40 minutes away from me. And they were speaking about homeopathy, but it was classical homeopathy. I loved it. I thought it was so interesting, but I just could not wrap my head around classical homeopathy. So, I abandoned, basically, my journey with homeopathy at that time. Fast forward about two or over two years ago, I belonged to a homeschool email group. And a homeopath, Wendy, on her journey, she introduced us to homeopathy. And she invited us to a Gateway I class in homeopathy — one of Joette’s classes, the first class, I guess. And I took that with my sister and two of my daughters. And basically, I was hooked. Right away took Gateway II. Started using it right away. I still practice some physical therapy, and now I’ve integrated using homeopathy. And it’s really helped my practice quite a bit as far as making suggestions to people: what they can use for homeopathy to help them with their own healing while they’re healing from injuries that I helped them with, also with manual therapy and exercise. Homeopathy and the Amish Community Kate: (04:28) So, Jane, you have a very interesting story about the clients that you work with, and who you see, and how you integrate homeopathy with physical therapy. Can you tell

This is the medicine you’ve been searching for — my unique brand of homeopathy, PRACTICAL Homeopathy®. Introduction Kate: (01:00) Hi, it’s Kate! Joette and I are back for another podcast. Hi, Joette. Joette: Hi, Kate. Kate: We’re going to record this because we were just having a conversation, and we thought it was so good that you wanted the listeners to hear this. So, let’s get into it. This is just off the top of our heads, and we’re just going to have a conversation about what to do. When Should I Use a Remedy? Joette: (01:19) Should I use a remedy for this? Should I not use a remedy? Should I ignore it? Should I live with it? Should I allow it to pass naturally, et cetera. I think that’s kind of what the upshot of this conversation was. Wouldn’t you say, Kate? Kate: Yes. And that’s something that you talk about in your Mastery™ program because we have a whole lesson on “Is It Normal?” I think that is something that most people wonder and have fear about. “Is this normal?” “I’m experiencing this thing, is it normal?” “Is it something I should be concerned about?” “Is it something I should take a homeopathic medicine for?” Joette: “Be tested for this?” “Should I be checked for this?” “Should I be worried about this?” “Can I assume that if it’s (on a scale of 1 to 10), a 4, now that it’s going to go to an 8, it’ll progress that it could get worse.” “I could die from this?” (Whatever “this” is.) What Could Be Extrinsic? Joette: (2:10) Alright, so let’s go back to Kate, because you had mentioned to me that you had this sensation in your chest. And my first thought always is, what could be extrinsic? What could be from the outside coming in? And, of course, diet matters, food matters, but that’s not what I was thinking. I was thinking that I know, Kate, that you were taking a medicine (a homeopathic) for appetite, right? To curb your appetite? Kate: I was, but I actually stopped taking that a while ago. Joette: Oh, okay. Okay. So, my first thought is in looking at that medicine — at any homeopathic medicine — if we have new symptoms, then my first thought is it’s likely the medicine — the homeopathic medicine. Kate: That’s a good point because I actually did stop taking that medicine because I had a new symptom. Now, I don’t know for sure if it was from that medicine or not. Joette: We don’t know. We don’t know. All we can do is, yes, check it out. That’s right. Kate: Yes. But I did stop taking it, and I haven’t had that symptom since. So again, it could be, or it could not. But it wasn’t a medicine that I absolutely needed to take. Joette: No, you were kind of testing it out. “Let’s have some fun with this. Let’s see if this will work for me and see if it reduces my appetite, et cetera.” So, that’s always my first thought, is what’s coming in. And if there is, whether it’s a conventional drug, whether it’s a vitamin, a supplement (which are, by the way, often synthetic) or a homeopathic medicine, we do have to consider that. Because what we’re doing is … we are — even if it’s for good — to a certain degree we’re manipulating our bodies. And so, it would behoove us to consider that the manipulation is working. Perhaps in other ways we might get some good from it, but if we get other symptoms, even if they’re mild … This description that you were giving me today, the sensation you were having in your chest, it’s rather mild, but it’s new, and it’s something you say, “Hmmm. I don’t know. I’ve never had this before.” That’s my first clue that it could be something that you’ve been taking. Now, even if you stopped taking that homeopathic — say, even four days ago — it doesn’t mean that it&#82

Kate: (01:00) Hi everyone. Welcome to the podcast. We are back, and we’re so glad that you’ve joined us today. I’m Kate, and today I’m here with Michele. Hi, Michele. Michele: Hi, Kate. Kate: Hi. It’s fun to do a podcast together. We’ve known each other for quite a long time. And for those people who don’t know you, I would love for you to just give a little introduction about yourself. Michele: Sure. I live in Chico, California. My name’s Michele Kumangai, and I have raised five boys, homeschooled all the way through. Now they’re out on their own being independent. Well, some of them are. And I am so excited to be here today to share about Gateway study groups, and it’s actually how Kate and I met. So, thank you for having me, Kate. Kate: Yes, yes. I’m excited to share with the listeners who may not know much about the Gateway to Practical Homeopathy® study groups, a little bit more information about them. And our title today is “Can Anyone Lead a Gateway to Practical Homeopathy® Study Group?” So, we’re going to get into that, but first, I thought we should tell people how we met and how the Gateway to Practical Homeopathy® study groups have really affected our lives. So, we are dear friends now, and we met in a Gateway to Practical Homeopathy® study group that I started leading, oh gosh, I think it was about 12 years ago or so. So, you joined, and then you kept coming to the study groups that I led and … Michele: Yeah, you couldn’t get rid of me. Kate: Yeah. Well, I didn’t want to get rid of you. And we became good friends in there. And then eventually we joined forces and decided to lead the study groups together, which was really fun. And so, we’ve been really good friends ever since that time, and now we even work together every day. So, I guess you’re probably going to get sick of me at some point. Michele: Never. Are You Ready to Lead? Kate: (02:55) So, talk to us, Michele, about how you felt initially when I presented the idea to you about joining me to lead the Gateway to Practical Homeopathy® study groups. Michele: Well, I was actually really anxious about that. Even though I’d been in so many of your groups, Kate, I was just so nervous. I was afraid I would say something wrong. I was afraid I would, you know … we worked on spreadsheets, so I was afraid I would enter something wrong. I’d never even seen a Google doc before, and that’s what we were using to keep track of things. So, I know I never shared that with you before, but I was really hesitant of leading study groups, and now, it’s what I love to do. I’m just really passionate about sharing this with anyone who wants to listen. Kate: Yeah, we did that for many years together, and it just grew and grew. And I would love for us to just talk a little bit about how we’ve developed such great friendships through these study groups. And because we each had our strengths when we came together to lead these study groups, and we each took on certain roles in putting together the study groups. And you were really the people person, Michele, and you still are! Study groups is your thing. You love connecting with people. And so, you started some Signal groups for the study groups. And talk a little bit about that and how important it is and how we’ve stayed connected with our people. Staying Connected With Your Group Michele: (0

This is the medicine you’ve been searching for — my unique brand of homeopathy, PRACTICAL Homeopathy®. Introduction: Practical Professionals: The Gospel of Medicine — Homeopathy Is the Purpose That God Has Given Me Kate: (01:00) On today’s podcast, join Joette as she sits down with Johnelle to uncover the incredible ways that homeopathy has transformed her life, helping her to overcome dry eyes, arthritis, and more. Discover how Johnelle is now inspiring her community by sharing her journey with homeopathy and even sparking interest among physicians. Don’t miss this empowering conversation. Let’s listen in. Joette: Hi, Johnelle. Johnelle: Hi. Good to talk to you. Joette: Good to talk to you, too. Nice to see you again. So, the reason I wanted us to meet today, as I just mentioned a moment ago, is because I want folks to see what can happen, what comes of learning just a little homeopathy, and then learning a little more, and then taking it to the next level and the next level and the next. So, just give us a little background about yourself, if you don’t mind. Johnelle: Well, I guess I come from a family of foodies and health nuts, and I really took good health for granted until my health fell apart in 1997, when I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I became a student of my body. I began to really take responsibility for learning more and not just trusting other people — especially doctors — to know what’s best for me. So, for two years, I pretty much just checked out of anything and studied fibromyalgia, studied my body, went to all different types of treating modalities, and just learned how to deal with fibromyalgia without drugs. Because I first started out with doctors, and all they offered me was just prescriptions, and my body sees those as toxins. Joette: Your body’s a pretty smart entity. Surgery Led to Discovering Homeopathy and Finding Relief From Dry Eyes Johnelle: (02:52) That’s true. Yes. And so that put me on the right path, but I didn’t know how much more I had to do until my health fell apart again in 2020 when I had a horrible lung injury and landed in the hospital. Had to have surgery because the fluid on my lungs was causing a lot of pressure on my heart, and my heart was going into AFib. And so, they had to do surgery, and they did every test imaginable and turned me loose with a lot of prescription drugs, and I did not thrive. And within six months, I had lost 25 pounds, and I could not sleep at night because of steroids. I could not eat because of the distorted sense of taste. I was exhausted, and I was losing ground every day, and I knew it. And I didn’t know what to do about it. And that’s when I discovered homeopathy because a friend came through town and just said that her daughter had healed her of her dry eyes with homeopathy. So, I pursued that with her daughter, and she cured my dry eyes with a remedy that was $7.99 at Target. Joette: Isn’t it amazing? These medicines are so inexpensive. Johnelle: Yes. Yeah. And after that, I, gosh, I was so taken by the fact that she had rescued me from years and years of a very expensive prescription drug that was not even doing any good for my dry eyes anymore. But I was so brainwashed into believing that I had to have it, that I was still paying over $600 per prescription for the dry eye …. Joette: How often did you have to repurchase that prescription? So, what was that for? Three months? Johnelle: Yeah, it was probably two to three months. Yes, I would string it out because I would make one vial last more than

Introduction: Joette Interviewed on ‘Trending With Timmerie’ Kate: (01:00) Welcome to the Practical Homeopathy® podcast. We’re doing something a bit different on today’s podcast. We’re sharing Joette’s interview from the Trending with Timmerie podcast. So, let’s listen in as Joette talks about homeopathy and answers listeners’ questions. Timmerie: Thanks for listening to this podcast of Trending with Timmerie from the Relevant Radio app. Anything you share in terms of episodes — whether it’s texting it to a friend, posting on social media — helps to build up the Kingdom for God to help confront the challenging issues we face as a culture, but with joy, with hope, and with an eternal perspective where our faith collides with everyday life, bringing eternal principles to help us live our life joyfully. Announcer: So, what’s trending? Bridging your Catholic faith with your everyday life. You’re listening to Trending with Timmerie on Relevant Radio. Timmerie: We are taking a deep dive into the world of homeopathic medicine today, along with combating loneliness — how this is key for us as Catholics. I grew up with homeopathic medicine. If you don’t know what that is, I will be sharing with you in just a moment with my guest. But I grew up with it. Some people call it the “Witch Doctor book.” Whether it’s any remedy that is used at home or administered by yourself in your own family. I’m always a little enamored by that. But I grew up with this, and I was always amazed at how effective it was. I think a lot of people today, it’s pretty trendy to use homeopathic teething remedies, especially a lot of people love the Hyland’s Teething tablets. I know that’s a big one. but even when I was a kid, my mom would use this and always look back on her book for helping to treat various ailments. So, it would help to keep us, sometimes, out of the doctor’s office, away from having to navigate some of those urgent care-type situations. And as an adult and a parent now, I have used it as well. Everywhere from helping friends to overcome shingles — that can be so painful if you’ve experienced that as well. I have — to navigating for myself severe allergic reactions at times or morning sickness while pregnant. Or I remember I was traveling to … I was in Washington State, and I ended up getting a bit by a bug, and I was having this severe allergic reaction. And I’m sitting here going, “I don’t have time for this!” We’re on a big family vacation with all of our extended family — with all of the first grandkids at the time. And I thought, “Okay, I’m running to Sprouts, and I’m finding a homeopathic remedy. And after hours of pain and not being able to walk, it kicked it, and I was able to keep going. Even my husband has jumped into or onto the homeopathic medicine train with his experience of using it to help with sleep. So, my guest today … to dive into what on earth is homeopathic medicine, we’ll also dive into ways to use it and just treating day-to-day ailments and even chronic illness as well. And then, we’ll dive into kind of just some neat little facts about homeopathy and take your questions. So, if you&

What Dentists Think Prevention Is: Fluoride, Pastes, Rinses, Flossers, Brushes, Scrapers and Sealants Kate: (01:00) This is Kate. I want to welcome you back to the podcast. I’m here today with Joette. Hi, Joette! Joette: Hi Kate. Kate: And we love doing these podcasts because we have a lot to share. You have so much wisdom that you have really gained over your many, many years in practice and teaching. And so today, we want to welcome those of you who maybe are listening to the podcast for the first time. You are in the right place, and you’re going to love what is shared today. It’s information that you are going to be able to use right away. And for those listeners who’ve been with us for a while, we want to welcome you back. Thanks for being here. So, Joette, you have an adventure that you went on recently. I called an “adventure,” but you may not. Tell us what you’ve been up to. JOETTE’S DENTAL “ADVENTURE” Joette: (01:45) Well, I just got back from the dentist. Kate: Ewww. Most people are thinking right now, ugh! Joette: Ugh. I know. So, I don’t go to a local dentist. I actually travel five and a half hours to get to this dentist in Ohio, and it’s worth it to me. My husband drives. I sit in the car. I often work, and I see the dentist, and then we turn around and drive another five and a half hours to get back home again. Kate: Okay, so why travel five and a half hours? Joette: The reason I travel that far is because I don’t find someone locally that I have the same kind of regard for. I find that a dentist is worth spending the time traveling to get to because I want good quality care, and I want someone who thinks like I do. And this dentist is a Weston A. Price Foundation contributor. He believes in the Weston A. Price Foundation methods, and he’s seasoned. He’s got a nice amount of gray hair. So, he has a lot of experience, and I’ve been going to him for a few years. I don’t go very often. I only go once a year now. But he’s a unique man. Interestingly, his father was a dentist. But his father was a conventional dentist, and I would call this particular dentist “biological.” And that’s the only kind that I would ever consider going to. So, his father was a conventionally trained dentist and remained so. But his grandfather associated with Dr. Weston Price, and they knew each other! And that influenced what this dentist is doing. So let me also say parenthetically, if you think you’re only influencing your children with your ideas, with your use of homeopathy, with your nutritional information, you are wrong. You’re actually influencing the next generation after them because it’s not uncommon for children to question or even deny what their parents have been teaching them. But the grandchildren often listen to their grandparents instead of their own parents. And this is a case in fact. Kate: I think it’s true. Grandparents have a large influence on grandchildren, for those grandchildren who spend time with them. I remember spending a lot of time with my grandparents and how the traditional cooking methods that they used … the farming. And I got a lot of those skills and the desire to do things that way from my grandparents. So, it’s very

INTRODUCTION: PEEK INSIDE JOETTE’S PASSIONATE MASTERMIND GROUP: 7 WOMEN, 7 HOMEOPATHIC SUCCESS STORIES Kate: (01:00) Hi, this is Kate, and I’m so glad that you’re here with us again today. We love it that you are learning about homeopathy — that you are excited and want to know more. And today, we have a very special treat for you. Joette, we’re here together! Joette: Hi, Kate. Kate: Yes, in person. Joette: I know. It’s usually not in person. Kate: I know! Joette: We meet often, but it’s on Zoom. Kate: It’s great! Joette: Yeah, it’s really great. Kate: So. Exciting thing, that we’re just finishing up a big weekend for us. We have some amazing students gathered together. Can you tell us a little bit about what we’ve done this weekend and what the listeners are going to hear? MEET SOME OF MY MASTERMIND STUDENTS Joette: (01:32) Well, what we’ve finished — and I’m pretty excited about it because it’s been such a spectacular weekend — we have 12 people, and it’s called Mastermind. And it’s our second year of doing this. And in order to be in Mastermind, you have to go through The Academy (which is a year long) and then Mastery (which is 11 months long). And then this just happens to be the second year of working together in Mastermind with a really tight group of ladies. And it’s always exciting because we get to know each other really well, and we help each other. That’s a big part of this. And the goal is to move people along in their lives as quickly as we possibly can so they can achieve their goals: whether they’re for teaching, whether the goals are to help their family, or the goals are to become a better practitioner, or wherever they are in their lives. We want to move it along faster. So, today, you’re going to be listening to a number of the students who are willing to share some ideas and some information about how homeopathy — especially Practical Homeopathy® — has touched their lives. Kate: And I think one of the things that’s exciting, Joette, is that this isn’t someone who is a doctor or a nurse or a professional, necessarily. These are people from all different walks of life, from all over the country, really. And some of them are stay-at-home moms, as you’ll hear. Some are professionals working in the medical field, some are … Joette: … physical therapists, nurses. That’s right. Educators. Yes. Kate: Real estate. Yeah. So, you’re going to hear from a number of different people, and I want this to be encouraging to you because you don’t have to fit into a certain mold in order to learn homeopathy or even, for that matter, go through these steps and into the Mastermind program. You, too, can do it. Joette: That’s true. That’s true. Yes. Kate: Let’s get started. Let’s take a minute and hear from some of the students who are in Mastermind. Joette: Let’s go. SUCCESS STORY: BLOOD CLOTS, INFECTION, HEART FAILURE, PAIN FROM A POSSIBLE BROWN RECLUSE BITE Joette: (03:20) I’m Joette Calabrese, and we’ve just had our first meeting of our second year of Mastermind.

This is the medicine you’ve been searching for — my unique brand of homeopathy, PRACTICAL Homeopathy®. INTRODUCTION: LEARNING PRACTICAL HOMEOPATHY®: ‘WHERE DO I GO FROM HERE?’ Kate: (01:00) Hi, I am Kate, and I want to welcome you back to the podcast. We are so glad that you’re here. And if you are new to this podcast, this is the perfect podcast for you because we’re going to be giving you some direction about how to learn homeopathy if you’re new. But if you’ve been studying homeopathy for a while — or even many years — this is also for you. So, Joette, let’s get started. Joette: Yeah, let’s, Kate. We have a subject, right? I’M NEW TO HOMEOPATHY. WHY AM I HERE? Kate: (01:24) Yes. We’re going to talk about “Where do I go from here?” And so that might be someone who is new or has been using homeopathy for a while or even many years. So. let’s start off, Joette, with someone who is brand new to homeopathy. Maybe they just found homeopathy or just found you and learned about it. Where does that person get started? How do they learn more? Joette: Let me start half a step back. Why is it that they’re here in the first place? Usually 90 — probably 90% … I don’t have numbers, but I can take a pretty wild guess — is that the reason that they’re here looking at what we have to offer is because they’ve already suffered under the hands of another method. They’re tired of the old way. It’s like having a wound, and instead of it healing, it gets rubbed with salt. And it’s being rubbed and abrased. And so that the person is constantly suffering or frequently suffering, or they’re observing their family suffering from something. And gee, darn it, those drugs just don’t seem to pull it all the way to the end. Instead, drugs cover up. They make somebody a little more comfortable for a short period of time, and then in the long run, they suffer even grander. So, they’re looking for the same thing that you’ve looked for, that I looked for, that all of us who have found homeopathy were looking for. And some people come to it sooner and some people come to it later. And so, I welcome all of you who are new to this. Welcome! The water is just fine. It’s really comfortable on this side of the discussion. So, what people are looking for is, “What do I use? What can I give my child, who has frequent ear infections?” Or, “What can I do about these aches and pains that I have all the time? Isn’t there another way other than just taking acetaminophen?” Or, “Is there not another way to deal with these allergies that are driving me crazy so I can never leave the house — and I can’t eat this, and I can’t go here, and I can’t go there, et cetera, et cetera — because I am so sensitive to the world around me. There’s got to be another way other than these insufferable shots that I get every month that I’ve been taking for the last 15 years of my life. There’s got to be another way.” And so, there is another way, and that’s homeopathy. Now, many times, people get homeopathy. The word … unfortunately, it’s a word that includes the word “home” in it, an

INTRODUCTION: THERE’S NOTHING SPECIAL ABOUT ME; YOU CAN DO AMAZING THINGS Kate: (00:59) Hi, I want to welcome you to today’s podcast. I am Kate, and we are so glad that you’re here. I’m here today with Wendy. She’s going to share some very interesting stories. I can’t wait for you to meet her and hear about how she’s using homeopathy. But first, I want to thank you for taking the initiative to learn about homeopathy. It will no doubt have an impact on your life and those around you — as you will hear it has in Wendy’s life in just a minute. If you’re new here, we want to welcome you to the podcast. So, as I said, let’s meet Wendy and get started. Hi, Wendy. Wendy: Hi, Kate. Kate: It’s great to have you here. I can’t wait for everyone to hear your story. So, as always, we like to get to know the people that are joining us on the podcast. Can you tell us a little bit about yourself and your family? Wendy: Sure. My husband and I have been married for 30 years. We live in eastern Iowa. We moved back here a couple of years ago to be closer to our parents and young adult children. We have five kids; three, I still homeschool. They’re 25, 21, 13, 12 and 11. We call ’em our “bigs and our littles” — although the littles aren’t so little anymore. Our youngest two are adopted from foster care, and I only share that because with that — for anyone who is familiar with adoption — there’s lots of unique things that come out of that, both beautiful and difficult. And so, I have a lot of opportunity to use what I’ve learned. I’ll just say that. And then we also have kids with different challenges with learning and just different ways of learning — different ways of looking at life that I’ve had lots of practice in that regard as well. So, yeah, I think that covers pretty much mostly about me. Kate: Alright, that’s great. Let’s dive into your homeopathy story, as we like to call it, and hear about your journey from not knowing anything about homeopathy until now where you have a business actually helping people with homeopathy. IS IT EVER TOO LATE TO LEARN HOMEOPATHY? Wendy: (03:08) It’s interesting; I feel I’m a little late — compared to some people — to the natural healing modality. Kate: You’re not late, let me tell you. We have people who go through The Academy who are in their seventies and even eighties! So, I hear that all the time from people. So, you are not that old — and not that that’s old. And isn’t it funny what we consider old now? Wendy: Yes, absolutely. Kate: Yes. You’re young, and so you’re not late. But I understand what you’re saying … that those who learn it at a younger age or maybe as they’re first starting their families, they have a lot more time. Wendy: I think as we get older — if we discover this older — we lament what could have been, maybe, had we known. But that’s okay. We just start fresh from where we are and plow forward. IN SEARCH OF AN ANSWER TO LYME DISEASE Wendy: (03:57) But yeah, my story actually began about five years ago. Well, a little bit prior to that, actually. I took my first Gateway class about five years ago, Gateway I. But a few months before that, our daughter had — just within a period of three

This is the medicine you’ve been searching for — my unique brand of homeopathy, PRACTICAL Homeopathy®. INTRODUCTION: HOMEOPATHIC MEDICINES FOR WINTER AND FREEZING COLD Kate: (01:00) Hi, friends. Welcome back to the podcast. We’re so glad that you could join us today. We want to thank you for taking the initiative to learn more about homeopathy. We know that it’s going to have a huge impact on your life, and so we’re excited for you and glad that you’re here. If you’re new here today, we want to welcome you. Today’s podcast is going to be about winter remedies. And Joette’s here to tell us about the remedies that are commonly used — or could be needed — in the wintertime. Joette: Hi, Kate. So, I’m looking out my window, and there are squirrels running all over the place. It’s beginning of December, and they are fat, fat little squirrels. They’re the chubbiest. They almost look as large as a small raccoon. They are huge where I am, and they look really healthy and robust. So, it got me thinking about how different it is in the winter — of course, it is because I’m up north — and how they’re preparing. Their cheeks are just loaded with acorns and all kinds of things, and I see them scampering about and planning for the winter. And so, I thought, why don’t we plan for the winter, too, regardless of where we live … even in the South. Now, certain tropical areas, this may not be a problem, but even where it gets just a little cold — say, even Tennessee and those states do have little cold times. And people complain all the time, and it’s understandable that they don’t feel the same. Well, they always say “when the heat goes on.” So, I thought we’d talk about that. WHEN THE HEAT GOES ON, PETROLEUM Joette: (02:29) And so, one of my favorite medicines in the winter when the heat goes on — and I don’t believe it’s from the heat necessarily, it’s because it’s just winter — and that is the remedy Petroleum. It’s so good for people whose skin gets dry in the winter — even just a little bit. It doesn’t have to crack, doesn’t have to flake. Doesn’t have to erupt. Kate: That’s what I was going to ask you, actually. You know how the cuticles of your fingernails, they get dry, and they start peeling and your skin gets really dry, like the elbows and everything. So, you’re suggesting Petroleum could help with even that? Joette: Yes. Petroleum 6 is the potency I would like. I’ve used it in a 30; I’ve also used it in a 200. But what I like about using Petroleum 6 is that you could use it twice, maybe three times, in a day. So, dry lips … if there’s cracking and flaking, we can still use Petroleum. I would start with Petroleum. In a way, it makes a lot of sense because if we’ve been using Petroleum on our skin in the past, it often can cause this problem. So, I remember years ago — I’m old enough to have been influenced by someone like Doris Day. And for those of you who are my vintage, you might remember that she put out in general to the public — I don’t know why it was that everybody seemed to know this about Doris Day — that she would smear petroleum jelly all over her body in the winter and then wrap herself up in cellophane. And everybody thought, “Well, if Doris Day does that, and she’s so attractive, maybe that’s what we all should be doing.” So, I actually remember sometime in the early sixties or so that that’s a lot of what women did, using a lot of petroleum jelly. But the problem with petroleum in its gross form is that it can suppress the condition and

We’re so glad that you’re here today. I want to thank you for taking the initiative to learn about homeopathy because it’s going to have a big impact on your life if you learn about it and you use it. So, if you’re new here, just jump right in. We want to welcome you, and we’re going to get started. Today, I have a special guest. Her name is Beth. She’s joining me. And I met Beth through studying homeopathy. Believe it or not, that’s where I met all my closest friends, honestly, that I have now. Beth and I are dear friends, and I’m so thankful for her, and I can’t wait for you to get to know her a little more. You may have listened and heard her on Podcast 116 called, Moms with Moxie: A Close-Knit Study Group. And she’ll explain a little bit more about that study group as we talk. But for now, I want to welcome Beth to the podcast. Beth: Hey Kate, how are you? Kate: Good. It’s so fun to be with you here today. I want our listeners to get to know you a little bit. I know if they’ve listened to Podcast 116, they may have heard from you. But for those who didn’t listen to that podcast, can you just tell us a little bit about yourself? Beth: Sure, Kate. So, basically, I have been studying homeopathy for about 10 years. I started off as my daughter was a client of Joette’s … and then my whole family. And then, I started studying it and teaching it. And I have a group that’s just awesome, as you mentioned. And then I worked with you guys for a little while, and now I’m in The Academy. So, it’s just awesome. Kate: We probably started using homeopathy about the same time. I think you were in the Gateway II study group that I was leading, and that’s how we first met. Beth: Yes. Kate: And we’ve been talking ever since then. Beth: Exactly. Kate: So, you live in Florida, and I get to see you, and I come down there a couple times a year at least, which is super-fun. I love your family and your dogs. They’re great. I’ve adopted them, or maybe they’ve adopted me. Beth: Yeah. Kate: So, I know you have a lot to talk about today. You have many things that you’ve used homeopathy for in those last 10 years. Just kind of give us a rundown about all the different things that you’ve used homeopathy for with your family, your friends, clients and so forth. WHAT HAS BETH TACKLED WITH HOMEOPATHY? Beth: (03:23) Okay, so how long do we have? Okay, so I kind of broke it down a little, like some of the acutes and then some of the more chronic things.

INTRODUCTION TO THE STORY OF GEORGIE Kate: (01:00) Hi, I am Kate, and I want to welcome you to the podcast. We’re so glad that you’re here with us today. I want to thank you for taking the initiative to learn about homeopathy, which will have a big impact on your life. So, if you are new here today, we want to welcome you, and we’re so glad that you’ve joined us. On today’s podcast, I’m joined by Joette. Hi, Joette! Joette: Hi Kate. Kate: Hi. And you have a story to tell us today, and I’m excited to hear it. So, let’s just dive right in and hear about the story of Georgie. Joette: Yes, this is a story about Georgie. This is not my story. This is Dr. James Compton Burnett’s story. He’s the author of a number of books, but one book that I have read chapter by chapter over the past year or so to Joette’s Mighty Members. And that’s something you folks might want to consider joining because you’ll hear me teaching and teaching and teaching there. So, I read this book chapter by chapter, and one of the first chapters from this book: “Fifty Reasons for Being a Homeopath.” Dr. Compton — James Compton Burnett — authored this book back in the 1800s. And he was a medical doctor — conventionally trained medical doctor — in London and the area around London. And so, he worked in a large hospital, and he describes how — before he became a homeopathic physician, and he was still conventional — he worked in this large hospital. And there were a lot of people that were dying around that time from — I think it was around … it was in winter. There were some beds that were no longer available. And so, there was a young man who worked in the hospital. My guess is he was the equivalent of an orderly. His name was Georgie, and he described him as a waif, I think … pretty sure that was the word he used — and that he was just a “fixture” in the hospital. And he actually lived in the hospital because he didn’t have a home. And it was the benevolence, of course, of the administration and Dr. James Compton Burnett, that Georgie was able to live there and work there, and he was fed and taken care of. Dr. Compton Burnett was in his office when he saw somebody — another orderly — pushing a gurney past his desk and he said, “Oh my goodness. Who is it now? Who just passed away?” The man who was pushing the gurney along said, “Sir, I’m sorry. It’s Georgie.” And he had a tear in his eye because this man, Georgie, was quite loved by the staff at the hospital. And it touched Dr. Compton Burnett deeply because of course he knew him and was fond of him. Years later, after learning homeopathy, he recognized that the reason that — likely — that Georgie passed away — got very sick with pneumonia and passed away — was because he — Dr. Compton Burnett — had told Georgie that he couldn’t stay in this room because they needed the beds. He had to stay in that room. And this room was warm and cozy in the cold, damp winter of London. And that room, where Georgie had to stay, was drafty. And he realized later that it was the draft in which he caught cold and ended up with pneumonia in short order. And he reminisced — is it “reminisced” the word? I guess he suffered from his decision — from not having known that Georgie could have stayed in that drafty room — but once he got sick, he should have been given a specific homeopathic medicine. WHICH SPECIFIC HOMEOPATHIC MEDICINE WOULD HAVE HELPED? Joette: (04:35) Now, he didn’t talk about this medicine right away — the one I’m going to mention — but he

INTRODUCTION: A MEDIC FIREFIGHTER Kate: (01:00) Hi, I am Kate, and I’m so glad that you joined us today. If you are new here, I want to welcome you and let you know that you are in for a treat. I have an inspiring guest with me today, and I can’t wait for you to meet him. If you’ve been with us for a while, I want to commend you for continuing to study homeopathy and helping those around you. You are inspiring in what you do. So, on today’s podcast, I want to ask you a question. Have you ever wondered if homeopathy really can uproot chronic illness? If so, this podcast is for you. I’d like to introduce you to a sharp young man who has done not only just that but is now studying homeopathy to help others. In fact, he just graduated from The Academy of Practical Homeopathy® and will be starting the Mastery™ program soon. So, I’m very excited for you all to meet Nigel. Welcome, Nigel, to the podcast. Nigel: Hey Kate, thanks for having me. Kate: We would love to get to know you a little bit. So, tell us about your life. Nigel: Alrighty then. Well, I’m a mid-20-year-old medic firefighter. I’ve been a medic firefighter now for about seven years. Got into it when my dad passed away. My brother convinced me to go through EMT, and then I ended up using that EMT to get my first job with a transport company. Some other things that I’ve really enjoyed doing is the hobby farm that I’ve grown up on. Done a lot of outdoor stuff: shooting, construction and hiking. Those are some of my favorite activities. A lot of high activity, outdoors, lots of risk. I tend to end up injured. Kate: Oh, no! Nigel: Particularly with farm work. Lots of interesting injuries or just exposures to woods and stuff like that. So, that’s really been useful to be a medic firefighter, put a lot of that into use. So, yeah, that’s basically where I’m at, what I do right now and the things that I’m interested in. Kate: Nigel, you’re supposed to help other people in your profession, not have to use it with yourself! Nigel: Yeah, that’s what most people think, and I’ve only had to use it on myself a few times, thankfully. But my siblings/friends had a lot of very interesting experiences, where out in the wild, people were getting bug bites, poison ivy, cuts — had some very, very unique stuff just in my close-knit group as we go through life together. Kate: Yeah. Oh, well, I wish you lived near me because it would be nice to have someone I knew in that profession, for sure. My family always tells me I tend to be accident-prone, but I don’t think so. Anyway, let’s find out more about your upbringing and some of the chronic health conditions that you had that led you on this journey to healing and now to homeopathy. A CHILDHOOD CHOCK-FULL OF HEALTH CONDITIONS AND STYMIED DOCTORS Nigel: (04:21) Yeah, so I’ve had a lot of health issues my entire life. Besides the accident-prone self that I am, I have had chronic headaches since like 10 years old … food allergies out the window. I think the highest I ever got up to was 52 allergies. Ended up also becoming allergic to the cold — breaking out in hives and

This is the medicine you’ve been searching for — my unique brand of homeopathy, PRACTICALHomeopathy®. INTRODUCTION: A HOMEOPATHIC VETERINARIAN Joette: (01:00) Hi, Janie. Janie: Hi Joette. Joette: Is that your trailer that you’re in? Is it a trailer or an RV? Janie: It’s a truck. It’s a Ford E-450. It’s 26-foot long. I have a DOT number. If you’d have told me 30 years ago, I was going to be a truck-driving, practice-owning, holistic vet, I’d have told you, you were nuts! Joette: Yes. Janie: You can see the remedies in the background hanging. Joette: I see that. So, you have them hanging. Oh, so much to talk about here, Janie. I’ve got so much I want you to tell us about. Please pronounce your last name because I don’t want to ruin it. Janie: Well, I go by Dr. Janie, and it’s Wilson. But I’m married to a Schreibeis. Joette: Schreibeis. Janie: But I’m Dr. Wilson. Joette: Okay. That makes it super easy Janie: Easy to pronounce. Yeah. Joette: Yes. Hi, Dr. Wilson. It is such a pleasure to get to know you better. You’ve been in The Academy for one year, right? Janie: Well, when it started this summer, yes. We’re on Week 13, something like that. Joette: You’re moving along into it now. You haven’t gone a full year. You’ve gone … yes … you’re into Week 13. It’s very exciting to have you. So, I wish that I could describe to people — and I’m going to try to do that with your help — what I’m looking at here. But tell us what you do. A SMALL ANIMAL, HOLISTIC VET Janie: (02:23) Well, I mean, I do a lot of things. But, so, I’m a small animal, holistic vet. I graduated from Purdue 30 years ago. They just had their 30-year reunion — I couldn’t go. And I, just a few weeks ago, celebrated 10 years of my practice. It’s called On a Roll Housecalls. Joette: “On a Roll.” ROLL because you’re on wheels. Janie: I am! I thought that was clever. And I’m on a “role” … doing what I’m supposed to be doing. So, I have a 26-foot truck that is my vet office. I have … in the background, you can see I got digital X-ray. I have an ultrasound — point-of-care ultrasound. I have it back in the back room. I can do blood work, like a 12-panel in 12 minutes. I have two different lasers. I have homeopathy. You can see in the back there. That’s my favorite … favorite modality to use. But I’ve done some Chinese herbs, western herbs and nutritional food supplementation. Not synthetic … Joette: Different than, yes, than synthetic. Big difference. VETERINARY HOUSE CALLS (AND HOMEOPATHY) Janie: (03:33) Yes. And so, I can do house calls — obviously in the truck. But I’ve gotten so busy with my holistic practice that if I’m driving, I’m not seeing patients. So, a lot of times, I stay parked, and they come to me where I am in my office. That way, I can get a lot more patients seen. I live in southeast Indiana. They’re coming from Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, and I even had one come from Tennessee. So … Joette: When they come in, Dr. Wilson, do you have a waiting room? Janie: No. Joette: So, in other words, you’re seeing one at a time, and they need to maybe stay in their car and wait a while? Or they can sit there, perhaps, and sit off to the side a little bit. Is that how you work it out? Janie: Well, outside the truck … the truck is parked inside a storage unit. Joette: Okay. Janie: So that way it’s protected. And there’s kind of an office. I call it the kitchen. There’s a little table and chairs, and people can wait there. But the way I schedule it, there’s not tons of people coming in. Joette: Yes,

This is the medicine you’ve been searching for — my unique brand of homeopathy, PRACTICAL Homeopathy®. INTRODUCTION Kate: (01:00) Hi, I am Kate, and I want to welcome you to the podcast. We’re so glad that you’re here. I want to thank you also for taking the time to learn about homeopathy. It’s such an important medicine. It’s going to have a huge impact on your life. So, if you’re new here, we want to welcome you. On today’s podcast, I have a lovely, precious woman. Her name is Franicia, and I know that you’re going to love her. It’s just amazing stories that she has to share with us today. So, I want to dive right in because there’s a lot to cover. So, I want to welcome Franicia to the podcast. Hi Franicia! Franicia: Hi Kate. Kate: It’s so great to be here with you. I would love for the listeners to get to know you. So why don’t you tell us a little bit about yourself? Franicia: Thank you. Well, I am a mom of 10 beautiful children and my husband Tim. I look forward to joining us briefly later on. And we live in Florida. We used to be a military family, retired now, and I’m originally from the tropical island of Saipan, the U.S. territory. Kate: Wow, that’s so interesting. Where is Saipan? You have to tell us. Franicia: Saipan is a 30-minute flight from the island of Guam in the Pacific. Kate: Oh, okay. And you lived there until you were how old? Franicia: I lived there until I was 17, and then I went to the Naval Academy Preparatory School, and then the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland where I met my husband. Kate: That’s very interesting. And for those of you listening, you can’t see Franicia, but she’s this very petite woman, and she’s also very strong. So, were telling us the other night when we were studying together that you have some degrees in … was it you’re a black belt? Franicia: Yes, I’m a black belt in karate (aikijutsu). Kate: Wow. So anyway, it’s just so ironic because you’re so petite and tiny and cute. So, watch out for Franicia. Thank you for sharing that. And I’d like to also hear a little bit about your story and, how you were introduced to homeopathy and your journey. Franicia: Well, as most of us were introduced to homeopathy through health issues, I had been studying herbalism, and I had significant health issues. And I tried Arnica — like most of us have — about a decade ago. Didn’t know what I was doing. Then somebody gave me a Hyland’s kit, tried to help me with mastitis. Again, I didn’t know what I was doing. And then a church friend heard about Joette and wanted to start a study group. I wasn’t able to join. It wasn’t on Zoom, though I had asked at the time — that was around 2019. And then, about a year or so later, a friend really wanted to help us with some significant health issues, and she thought the best way that we could learn how to use the remedies — because we didn’t understand — was by studying Gateway. So, she became my first Gateway leader. And I only had a bandwidth of ab

INTRODUCTION: OVERCOMING ANXIETY AND PANIC ATTACKS Kate: (01:00) Hi, I am Kate, and I want to welcome you to the podcast today. We’re so glad you’re here. I want to thank you for taking the initiative to learn about homeopathy, which will have a big impact on your life. And if you are new here, we want to welcome you. Today’s podcast: Joette is going to share some tips on how to overcome anxiety and panic attacks. So, let’s get started. Hi, Joette! Joette: Hi, Kate. Kate: It’s so exciting. This is a huge topic because I know anxiety can be so debilitating. So, I’d love to hear your thoughts on how to address this homeopathically. It’s really the only way that I know of that can really calm down anxiety and panic attacks. What are your thoughts? DOWNSIDE TO THE CONVENTIONAL APPROACH (PHARMACEUTICALS) Joette: (01:44) Well, there are psychotropic drugs that someone could use, and that can calm down a certain amount of anxiety, but then you pay for it in another way. There’s no such thing as a synthetic drug of commerce that is as simple as, “Oh, just take it and you’ll be just fine.” No, there’s always a downside, and the downside can be pretty sobering. We don’t want to get into a situation where someone depends on a synthetic drug. So, one of the ways that we can look at this — or actually the main way to look at this — is that, with homeopathy, the homeopathic medicines correct the problem. They don’t just cover it up for the next opportunity that the panic or the anxiety attack presents again. Whereas, with conventional drugs, you are assigned to those drugs for months, years, decades. In homeopathy, after using the homeopathic medicine — sometimes only a couple of doses, sometimes only a couple of doses here and there over a period of weeks or months — it’s over. WITH HOMEOPATHY, IT’S OVER Joette: (02:52) Now, what do I mean by “over”? It means there are no more panic attacks. They simply don’t occur. And it’s not because it’s been suppressed or stuffed down into the person only to come up (like pressing down on a water balloon) so that it bulges up somewhere else. No, it uproots the condition. It stops it. It ends it so that then it becomes a mere memory — even a dim memory in your thinking — so that you can get on with your life. So, I talk about this all the time — a problem with anxiety or panic attacks, either one. I mean, we’re going to be talking about both today. But I talk about them in my blogs, which you really ought to take advantage of. They’re free. You can access them on a regular basis anytime you’d like. In my courses, we have a course called Mindful Homeopathy in which I go into greater depth of exactly how to utilize these medicines. Although, I’m going to give you good information today, even without perhaps taking an entire course. Because here’s the thing: When someone has anxiety, it is such a huge roadblock that it seems as though nothing else can be taken care of in that day. Nothing else matters. It doesn’t matter that you have to tend to the children. It almost doesn’t matte

I am Kate, and welcome back to the podcast. I’m so glad that you’re here joining us today to learn more about homeopathy. I can’t wait for you to meet our special guest today. Actually, for those of you who have listened to some of Joette’s podcasts, you may have already heard our next guest on Podcast 60, but she is going to share so much information. Really, if you are at a desk or somewhere where you can take notes, you want to do that. And if not, you can always catch up later with the podcast on JoetteCalabrese.com where the transcript is also available. So, don’t worry if you’re driving; you can take notes later or read the transcript. So, with that, I want to get started … dive right in. Lisa, welcome to the podcast. Lisa: Thanks, Kate. Lovely to be here once again. Kate: Yes. I can’t wait for you to tell us what’s been going on since the last time that we talked. So, tell us a little bit again for those students who may not have heard Podcast 60, who you are, and a little bit about your story. Lisa: Love to. My name is Lisa Heinrichs. I am a Practical Homeopath®. I am a wife; I am a mother; and I solely use homeopathy for my family. I am located in Sylvan Lake, Alberta, Canada. And so, my journey began actually with Joette when I was reading in a Weston A. Price magazine years ago. And she had said, “We need to be the healers in our family. We need to be able to take care of them.” And that resonated with me very deeply because I had always been interested in health and wellness. I did not have a family at the time, which was … I do have an advantage over some people because I was able to start fresh with my kids and know that I didn’t want to raise them using medications … unnecessarily, of course. Because there’s a time and a place. I always say that. Okay? So, I listened to Joette. I got all of her recordings and her little books and just dove right in. Got myself a Top 100 homeopathic kit and just was practicing on anybody who would let me. DIVING RIGHT IN AND GOING TO CLASSICAL HOMEOPATHY SCHOOL Lisa: (03:09) So, fast forward a couple of years, I decided that this is what I wanted to do. Loved it. And so I started to research schools. I wanted to go to a Canadian school. I wanted to go to a reputable school, obviously, and found one in Ontario that I went to. So, I went to this school. It was the only option. Joette did not have her school then. And most of the time I was simply just doing my best to get through it, as we call it. And some of us have mentioned in The Academy, classical school is kind of like busy work. It’s like, why are we doing this? But we have to do it, and I’m sure we’ll get to the meat of it soon. So, I just plowed through, and I did actually very well because I like school. I like learning. But it was also very slow going, and it was lonely. I had a tutor, sort of, that I can call on if I needed to, but I was essentially by myself. THE ACADEMY OF PRACTICAL HOMEOPATHY® Lisa: (04:02) So, when The Academy of P

What should I do?” That’s where we want to be. We want to be in that position as we age. Kate: All right, so today we’re going to talk about back pain. So, Joette, let’s just dive right in. Tell us about what we can do when we have the pain in our back. And maybe it’s something that’s just mildly irritating, or maybe it’s something debilitating that stops us from our daily lives. And I also want you to talk about thinking outside the box and what might be causing the back pain. Because sometimes, it truly might just be muscles or something with our spine, but it could also be some other things. So maybe let’s start there. BACK PAIN CAUSED BY KIDNEY ISSUES Joette: (02:29) Yeah, let’s start with that because it could be the kidneys. If you know where your kidneys are — and you should know where they are — it’s the rather lower back right around the waist on either side. And … could be kidney stones. Could be kidney colic (which doesn’t really tell us much of anything. It just tells us that there’s pain in the kidney or kidneys). Could be a kidney infection, and that’s something that we don’t play around with. You want to make sure that that gets attention right away. But you can also get back pain — I know this is going to sound strange to some people — from eating foods that are not good for you. Some people are so sensitive to wheat that if they eat a sandwich, they get back pain. And that doesn’t mean that they’ve had it all their lives like that. Could have just been developed since they were given antibiotics. Because antibiotics are often the cause of food intolerances — subsequent food intolerances — after their use. So, it could be any of those. BACK PAIN FROM DEHYDRATION Joette: (03:29) And interestingly, years ago, I was in my thirties, and I was nursing one of my babies. I don’t remember which one it was. And so, I did not drink enough water. I know I didn’t because you lose your thirst sometimes. And when you’re nursing, you really have to pay attention to drinking a good amount of good water. And so, I went to the chiropractor, and he adjusted me. And I was going about twice a week, and the pain was really … wasn’t excruciating, but it certainly was a nuisance-plus. And so, every time I went to him, he would adjust me, and I would feel a little better. And it was fine, but then I’d have to go back again. It was going on like this for weeks, many weeks. And then, one day, I got a newsletter that I used to subscribe to. In those days it was snail mail. And in the newsletter, it said, “Back pain. Are you sure you’re not dehydrated?” So, I thought, “Wow, that’s awfully simple.” And so since I’m nursing and perhaps the reason … maybe that is it … because I don’t drink much water at all.” So, I started to … I actually fl

We’re so glad that you’ve joined us today. We love that you’re here and are so excited about your homeopathy journey. So, thanks for being here. Today, we have a special treat. Joette is going to be talking to a special guest, so I’m just going to let her take it away. Joette: Thanks, Kate. So, I’d like to introduce Kirsten Decca. I’ve gotten to know Kirsten pretty well through the last few years because she’s been a student of mine for some time. She joined The Academy — and we’re going to hear all about that — and then, she went into the next year, the Mastery™ program. And now, she’s in our Mastermind program, and I really wanted you to hear her story. So, welcome, Kirsten. Kirsten: Thanks, Joette. It’s a pleasure to be here. Thank you for having me. Joette: Yeah, this is going to be good today. So, I’m interested in knowing — as many people are — a little bit about your life, what you do and what brought you to homeopathy. WHAT BROUGHT KIRSTEN TO HOMEOPATHY? PEDIATRICIAN PUSHBACK AND PIZZA Kirsten: (02:04) Okay. Well, I’m a mom of six. My husband and I live here in the northwestern part of Florida. My husband is retired Air Force, and we have moved up here kind of out into the country. We have a little homestead, and we raise chickens, and we have dogs and some goats and horses. My journey to homeopathy is interesting. I have a background in health care. I’m a licensed physical therapist assistant. Although I’m retired, I haven’t been in a clinic for probably, oh gosh, over 20 years now. But I’ve always loved anatomy and physiology. I’d like to say health care, although I feel different about what it actually is now. But my dad was actually a pharmaceutical rep, so I was raised with drugs. They were everywhere. It’s just what we did. In fact, I didn’t really know that there was even another way. If you were sick, that’s just what you did. You took a pill. Or actually, we used to have — I don’t know if you remember Kaopectate®, Joette. You remember? Joette: I do. Kirsten: So, we used to have it everywhere. And I don’t know why I thought it tastes good, but we would just drink it. We would go sneak it out of my dad’s samples and take Kaopectate. I don’t know how we ever went to the bathroom. But anyway, so to say that drugs were commonplace is just an understatement. I went to school to be the physical therapist assistant. I had played sports for years and years, had gotten injured and had had multiple surgeries. So again, drugs, drugs and more drugs during surgery after surgery. And then I didn’t really question until probably most of us … when we had children. So, I had my kids. And then, I had a son that began displaying some behavioral issues. And we just noticed something was different, and he was diagnosed with Asperger’s. So, that really kind of started me on my journey of questioning kind of what I had done. Was anything that I had done contributed to this? And so, I started reading, educating myself, and then I started asking questions at the doctor’s office, which that did not go over really well, and I began to get pushback. And so that even pushed me further in questioning. “Okay, why is this an issue? These are my kids. You would think they would welcome it.” I really expected the doctors to pat you on the head and go, “Good job!” But that was not the case. So, we started deciding not

This is the medicine you’ve been searching for — my unique brand of homeopathy, PRACTICAL Homeopathy®. INTRODUCTION: IT’S CALLED A COLD FOR A REASON Kate: (01:00) Are you concerned about getting sick or your kids going back to school and being exposed to something that makes them sick? Well, let’s examine that today on this podcast. We’re so glad that you joined us. I’m Kate, and I’m here with Joette. Joette: Hi, Kate. Kate: Hi! I want to start with the basics. Joette. It seems like every year, especially in the fall, people can expect to get a cold. What do you think about that? Joette: Well, it’s called a cold for a reason, in my estimation. It’s because, generally, it’s the shift in weather. The weather gets cold, or, even if you’re not in an area where the weather gets cold, there’s a shift — an environmental shift. And it has been commonly understood that if someone gets a chill that they, you know, “Put your hat on, or you’ll catch your death of cold!” Well, I believe that that can be so. You can get quite sick if you get a chill … especially after you’ve been perspired or children running around in a playground or a park or something. And then they get a chill, And often, that’s what can lead to this. So, I believe that it does have something to do with the environment. But now, I also believe that it has to do with immunity. Now, when we say “immunity,” I don’t mean immune from bugs necessarily. I believe it has more to do with the terrain. WHAT IS THE TERRAIN? Joette: (02:20) What is the terrain? Well, it’s making sure that there’s strength in that terrain. And the terrain is upon which the person is depending to get through those times when their body might need to make a shift, like releasing toxins, et cetera. So, let me be more specific. I believe that if germs are ever-present — and that’s the way people see them — then why is it that people only get germy colds and flus at a certain time of the year? Pretty much it’s only in the fall, sometimes in the winter — January, February. (I’m talking about those parts … I’m talking about the U.S., but also in Europe, et cetera.) When that cold comes — that cold weather comes — and now are the germs more virulent? Do they get excited and start hopping onto people? Or are the germs always there, and those who have a good immune system are able to fend them off? THE IMMUNE SYSTEM Joette: (03:22) Well, if that’s so, then why are we even looking to germs? Why are we not looking to the immune system or the ability to be able to withstand an onslaught of this or that? Why not just count on that to start? So, the way that I look at it is that if we are taking care of ourselves, we’re eating good food — and I mean real food, food that’s made at home. Doesn’t mean we can’t go out to dinner occasionally, but homemade food where there are no ingredients listed on the package. Because if you’re reading ingredients, it means you’re already buying something that someone else has manufactured, and that is no longer whole. So, whole food — a beef roast put into the oven with carrots and onions and potatoes — and that’s dinner. That’s what I’m talking about. Eggs — well sourced — for example, cooked in butter. Yes, butter. And so that’s step one. Step two is making sure that your family and you are getting enough sleep and good rest. Going to bed early; getting out of bed early; sleeping in a room that’s clean with the windows slightly ajar, even in the cold weather (windows should be ajar so that there’s fresh air seeping through); keeping hands clean and the body clean and the home clean. Also

Indeed, you, too, can heal yourself and your family through my brand of homeopathy — Practical Homeopathy®. INTRODUCTION Kate: (01:30) Welcome back to the podcast. I’m Kate. Today’s guest is someone I’ve known for years, and I’ll let her tell you more about that. But let’s just say that what she’s accomplished in the past four years has been amazing. I can’t wait for you to hear her story. She will share some dramatic stories using homeopathy and some tips on studying homeopathy. So, with that, everyone meet Susan. Susan: Hi Kate. It’s great to get to chat with you today, and I was so happy to get to meet you in November in Florida. Kate: Yes, it was great! Susan: And it’s amazing how a few years have changed so much for us. As you said, my name is Susan. And my husband and I have been married for 39 years, and we have three sons and four grandsons. We love to be outside, and we love to go camping and cook our food in the Dutch oven and just take our books and relax. And my passion had been homeschooling my children. And when they grew up and left home, it was a very good opportunity for me to plunge into studying homeopathy. That has become my passion. Kate: Tell me, Susan, how did you first hear about homeopathy? Because I know we connected in a Gateway to Homeopathy study group years ago, and that’s how we first met. But how did that come about? FROM CONVENTIONAL MEDICINE TO HOMEOPATHY Susan: (02:43) Well, like many other people, I had a lot of health problems, and I had a team of doctors working on my conditions, and I was getting some help. They did the best they could. They offered me a handful of prescriptions, and I said, “No, thank you.” And my doctor said, “I know. These come with many potential harmful effects.” So, I had ongoing fatigue and many food intolerances. Anything I ate would upset my stomach. I began listening to medical seminars and searching for answers: why I would have such painful fatigue, one good day and three bad days. So, I was looking into this. There’s a popular medical doctor talking about the M-T-H-F-R gene and mitochondria and your homocysteine levels. So, I was plunging into that. And at the same time, a good friend said to me, “You know, you should really look at Joette’s blog.” She said, “I’ve been helped with my food intolerances with that.” And I was really skeptical because I had not had a good report about homeopathy. It seems kind of strange. But for my regard for my friend — and I knew she was a good researcher and her whole family relied on her for medical information — I thought, “Okay, I’ll take a look.” I was very pleasantly surprised. Kate: That’s funny. You were skeptical. You looked, and then you have really exploded from there — from that first interaction with homeopathy, I guess you could say. Susan: Yes, Joette was different from anything I had been exposed to homeopathy-wise. She was a no-nonsense approach to health, and that really resonated with me. And I even saw that she had raised and homeschooled three sons in the country, just like me. I studied Joette’s blog for a year and a half. And I made a sp

This is true health freedom, my friends. This is my PRACTICAL Homeopathy®. INTRODUCTION Kate: (01:30) Hi, Joette. We’re here in another podcast, and I want to know what’s on your mind. What would you like to talk about today? Joette: Hi Kate. A couple of things. I like to be able to discuss things that I think are going to be the most useful for the largest number of people. HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR A REMEDY TO ACT? Joette: (02:00) One of the things I want to talk about is how long does it take for a remedy to act? I hear it often. And given this background: that there are thousands of conditions. Some say there are about 6-10,000 human sufferings/diseases (maybe it’s closer to 6,000). And there are just about equally the same number of homeopathic medicines. Now, we’re not going to cover all of these human conditions, and we’re certainly not going to be talking about 6,000 homeopathic medicines. But given that there’s such a grand landscape, we have to get what can seem complex (because it’s so voluminous) and focus it down so that it makes it easier. And so, when someone asks me, “How long does it take for a homeopathic medicine to act?” It depends on a number of factors. The first one is, is this condition that the person is about to approach an acute or is it a chronic? and that really matters. Now, sometimes, it’s a species of both. But let’s not go with the outlier. Let’s go with something that’s pretty obvious. For example, you’re driving home. And you’re in the car and suddenly — here’s the key word —suddenly you feel ill. Something’s wrong. “It feels like maybe I caught something.” That kind of feeling. “I feel as though something’s going on in my sinuses or my chest, and I feel weakened.” And you were just caught in the rain the day before or the night before, and it feels as though you’re going to be strapped with a flu or a cold or something. That is an acute. Because if you left it alone, you would not have it if you took nothing, and you just went to bed when you got home — which is not a bad idea. But if you did nothing, it’s not going to live with you for the rest of your life. It’s going to be over with in a few days or a week or maybe two weeks. But it will be over with. That is one of our definitions of an acute. If, on the other hand, you’re driving home. And you’re seated in your car, and your back is aching like it always does when you sit in your car for any length of time. And you can feel that it’s kind of arthritic in your hips and in your knees and in your back. That is generally … if it’s happened time and again, and it’s — for the most part, every time you get in your car, it occurs. That tells us that it’s likely a chronic. And it could be muscle weakness; it could be arthritis, could be tendon pain, et cetera. … IN ACUTE CONDITIONS Joette: (04:41) So, if we have an acute condition — generally speaking — and we use a homeopathic medicine to treat it, it works pretty quickly because the disease is not going to last very long. The condition’s not going to last long anyway, even if you did nothing. So, our expectation is that within a few doses, the person can

I’m Kate, and today I want to welcome a couple studying homeopathy together. Yes, you heard me right. It’s a couple! And they have some inspiring stories to share with us about how homeopathy has been, in their words, “Amazing, eye-opening and saved them thousands of dollars each year.” So, I want to welcome Kris and Gary to the podcast. Hi! Kris: Hi Kate. Glad to be here today. Gary: Hi, Kate. Kate: Hi. Let’s get started. Gary, I know you wanted to share a little bit of a background about who you guys are, where you live … so, let’s get started with that. Gary: So, we’ve been married for 44 years, and we have two grown children who are gainfully employed. Unfortunately, no spouses, no grandkids, but we have granddogs and grandcats, so we’re blessed. Kris was born and raised in Iowa. I was born and raised in Kansas. Her background … her father was a pharmacist, and her sister and brother-in-law were nurses. Her mom worked in administration in the hospital. After high school, she went to school to become a medical assistant. Kris: To work my way through school while I got my physician assistant degree. Gary: We met when she came down to Kansas because, in the seventies, out-of-state tuition in Kansas was cheaper than in-state tuition in Iowa. I’m a retired engineer. Kris is a retired PA (physician’s assistant). When she started taking homeopathy about two years ago … my background is in physical sciences, so I’ve taken chemistry, physics, that kind of stuff. When she started talking about potentization, it blew my mind because my chemistry was always if you diluted something, it weakened it. And so, let’s just say I was highly skeptical of the whole thing. Kate: You’re very analytical, I’m sure. Gary: Yes. Kate: Yes. Okay. So, Kris, you have this analytica,l skeptical husband, and I’m sure from your background too, you really had to think about this closely. But why don’t you give me — from your take — how did your journey to homeopathy look? DISCOVERING HOMEOPATHY Kris (03:55): Okay, a little over 10 years ago, our nieces were researching alternative medicines and treatments for their father who had multiple sclerosis. So then, essential oils came into all of our lives, and we saw it do miraculous things for all of our health. And it even helped heal some skin cancers in her father-in-law. Then one of the nieces joined what I call a “crunchy” Facebook group. She lived in a very large metropolitan area, and these people were women always searching for the safest product and the best product for their families. And

This is true health freedom, my friends. This is my PRACTICAL Homeopathy®. GOOD HEALTH IS A DAILY PRACTICE Kate: (01:30) Hi everyone. Welcome back to the podcast. We love our community and are so thankful you’ve joined us today. I’m here with Joette, and she’s going to share some simple but important health tips that you are going to use to learn how to become a detective and connect the dots and discover clues that will help guide you to the right homeopathic medicines. But first things first. Sometimes, we forget to begin with the simple things, the things that are right in front of us. Maybe it’s not even homeopathy! You all know we get excited when we learn homeopathy, and we can have a tendency to just jump right to homeopathy, But we really should consider some of the basics. We were talking about this the other day, Joette, and you had some really good ideas toward that end. Joette: Hi, Kate. Well, these are not unusual ideas. They’re more gentle reminders. Good health is a daily practice. And instead of thinking of it as, “I’m doing this for my health,” just make it part of your … if not daily, at least a number of times per week for some of these things. So, some of them are so simple that it’s going to seem kind of strange that we even mention it. WALKING Joette: (2:51) And one of them is just walking — making sure you’re getting some exercise in. And if you can walk barefoot. Walk barefoot in your garden, walk barefoot in the park if you can take the shoes off. A lot of shoes, I hate to say it, are made in China. And we don’t know what the ingredients are in the inside of those shoes. And do we want to absorb something in the bottom of our feet? Especially where we are supposed to be releasing those elements or toxins, for example, out of the bottom of our feet. Do we want that to be touching some kind of a plastic or a formaldehyde or something like that? So, walking barefoot … walking barefoot, even around the house. Kate: I might add Joette that we have to be careful — or cognizant — of the possibility that pesticides were sprayed where we are walking. So, we don’t want to take that … Joette: No doubt about that. No doubt, obviously. I think it’s obvious. Yes, yes, of course. So, that means if we’re going to walk around in the garden barefoot, why not do some gardening? It’s great exercise. It is an activity, a hobby, a way of living that really doesn’t have to be big. It could just be a couple herbs. Could be bigger than that … could be much bigger than that. You could really make it into something that’s a real avocation. But gardening is a great idea. HELPFUL HINTS ON GETTING SUN WITHOUT TOXIC SUNSCREEN CHEMICALS Joette: (04:16) And then that also leads to getting out in the sun. And I mean without sunscreen! Anything we put on our skin is absorbed … instantly! The first time I ever realized that was when my son — my oldest son — got a fever. I didn’t know anything about homeopathy, or I knew very little about it. But I did know about herbs, and I knew that garli

Indeed, you, too, can heal yourself and your family through my brand of homeopathy — Practical Homeopathy®. INTRODUCTION Kate: (01:30) If you want to hear about some amazing homeopathy success stories, how to become a “cool kid” who knows about homeopathy, understand what The Academy of Practical Homeopathy is, or maybe what it looks like to create a thriving homeopathy consulting business, or even just how to help those around you and those you love: this is the podcast for you. We’ve got a lot to cover today with a very special guest. So, let’s get started. Today’s guest is Leanne Burns. She’s a physical therapist, a homeopath, a homeschool mom, and embodies all things adventure. So, everyone help me welcome Leanne to the podcast. Leanne: Hi Kate. Kate: Hi! It’s so great to be with you today. We have a ton to talk about, and I know you and I could talk for hours and hours, but we won’t do that to the listeners today. But we’re going to pack a lot in this 20 to 30 minutes that we have together, and I would love for the listeners to get to know a little bit about you before we begin. Tell us about some of your adventures, Leanne. Leanne: Oh, boy. I still like to get out in the outdoors. I’ve always been an outdoors person, so I like to ski. I like to paddleboard but prefer to kayak. I’m a little bit faster on the kayak than the paddleboard. I boat; I hike; I walk every day. I just like to be outside, and a lot of things come to me when I’m outside. So, I’ve found some animals in distress when I’m out there, and I’ve been able to help them. Also, I hike a lot with my family, so I’m always carrying remedies and always prepared for whatever comes at us. Kate: And in fact, I remember one class that we had in The Academy — I don’t remember if it was a Mastery™ or Academy — but you were actually rock climbing. And you joined us for one of our classes — our live lessons — and that was pretty fun. Do you remember that? Leanne: I do remember that. That is another thing I do. Actually, my son’s a big rock climber and has been doing camps every summer. And last year, we did something different. We went as a family, and he took a couple of friends. And the guide said, “Hey, I’ll throw you in. Why don’t you do it too?” So, I got to do it for the first time on real rocks and not in a climbing gym. And other than that, I hike on rocks and climb around on ’em, but I’ve never been roped in and being belayed, so it was kind of fun. I got to belay my son, and he got to belay me on the rocks, and it was great. Yeah, great fun. Kate: That was commitment, Leanne, to join a class while you’re rock climbing. Anyone who has an excuse, I don’t think that there is one b
