This is the Practical Homeopathy® Podcast, episode number 141, 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: 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 the day that it was supposed to be tossed. But I was losing ground there, too.

But I didn’t realize that I could stop that until homeopathy came into the picture. So, I contacted this young girl again. In fact, she was a homeschool mother of six kids.

Joette:

That’s usually the way it is, Johnelle, those who are very busy, who come up with the answers. Yes.

Tackling Arthritis

Johnelle: (05:04 )

And she had only used homeopathy on her children. And so that got my attention.

I texted her again — we were doing all of this just through email and texts — and I said, “Do you have anything for arthritis?”

So, she gave me some suggestions, and after a few weeks, I told her, I said, “Well, it’s helping, but it’s not really dealing with it.” So, she tweaked it a little bit, and sure enough, the arthritis left me.

Joette:

Do you remember what the remedy was, Johnelle?

Johnelle:

Well, she started out with the combination of Rhus tox and Symphytum.

Joette:

Yeah, which is a Banerji Protocol that I teach. Exactly. Yes. Yes.

Johnelle:

And it just really didn’t totally close the deal. And so, she said, “Well, try dropping the Symphytum.” That’s what worked.

Joette:

And just go with just the Rhus tox. Yeah, that can often do it.

So, was she a student? Was she one of my students? And she had taken Gateway or something like that?

The Gateway to Practical Homeopathy®: From a Student to a Teacher

Johnelle: (05:56 )

I don’t know that she had taken Gateway, but she eventually contacted me and said that she had heard that there was a girl named Sheena Rice — was a very good teacher and was a student of yours. And she was going to be offering a Gateway class, and she was going to take it, and I might be interested. And so, I did that, and that’s where things began to really change for me.

Joette:

Yeah.

Johnelle:

And I realized that there’s a way for me to get this message — this good news about homeopathy — to everyone around me. And so, I started teaching the classes myself. And that’s what …

Joette:

Okay, so that’s a whole ‘nother chapter then, Johnelle. Tell me about that.

Johnelle:

Yes. So, I had so many people that had watched me literally look like I was dying in front of them. And then, all of a sudden, it turned, and I was thriving.

And so, I had a lot of people’s interest in homeopathy whenever I had earned that platform to talk about it.

So, when I was about to offer my first Gateway class, the day
