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,

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,

This is the Practical Homeopathy® Podcast, episode number 138, with Joette Calabrese.
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: 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 …

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.

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.

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,

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.

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.

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 ...

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,
