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 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 that time.
One of the first remedies I saw success with was Cantharis. My mom had chronic UTIs. She was on a standing prescription of antibiotics. She tried herbs and diet; nothing was working.
After taking Cantharis, her UTIs were completely gone, and they never came back. So, of course, that got me even more excited to learn this.
I then joined the Gateway classes. I went through those several times. At least one of them was with Kate.
Kate:
Yes! Yes!
Melissa:
Then I took a deep dive into the protocol courses. I went through each of those.
I then patiently — or rather impatiently — waited for Joette to start her Academy. I joined The Academy and spent an amazing year in that first year of The Academy. I graduated in 2022, and then I went on to Mastery and graduated in 2023.
I’ve been in Mastermind for the last two years, and I’ve been seeing clients for the past three years. It’s been such a joy to walk with people through their suffering and give them hope with homeopathy.
Kate:
Yeah, it’s been really fascinating to watch you and your journey and how your life has really changed since you started learning about homeopathy. Right? It’s completely different in the fact that you used to have a lot more cows, and you were doing farming. Full-time, was it?
Melissa:
I mean, it really has shifted. God has just opened doors for me, and I’ve just kept walking through them. And it has turned into this almost full-time business, so that’s very exciting.
Kate:
Yeah, that’s great. Well, speaking of that, I know you have a lot of stories to share with us, so let’s get started because I know the listeners want to hear.
Success Story: Correcting anemia homeopathically without an iron supplement
Melissa: (05:45 )
Yes. I have so many stories I’m excited to share.
The first one I want to share is about a child who has chronic kidney disease. Because of the chronic kidney disease, she had extremely low iron levels. So, they reached out to me to see what could be done to help.
They were not able to find a supplement — an iron supplement — that she could tolerate. So, it was really an issue.
And so, I taught them how
