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: The Sky’s the Limit! Kate: (00:58) Welcome to the Practical Homeopathy Podcast. I’m Kate, and today I’m joined by Marylou, a woman who lives in two worlds that don’t often meet: the world of competitive skydiving and the world of Practical Homeopathy®. Well, let me tell you, Marylou is a professional skydiver with more than 4,300 jumps. Yes, you heard that right. She represented the United States in eight world championships. Among her honors are the FAI Leonardo da Vinci diploma and the FAI Bronze Medal and the USPA Lifetime Achievement Award and the title of Honorary Golden Knight. Wow, that is a lot! Let’s get onto the Practical Homeopathy® now after those impressive credentials — and there is more, believe me. So, after graduating from The Academy of Practical Homeopathy® in 2024, she founded Thru Wild Eyes Homeopathy, and she works with people and animals and teaches Joette’s Gateway I and II and the Protocol Courses. Her homeopathy story began about 15 years ago as a wildlife rehabilitator. It includes the end-of-life care for her mother, the healing of her cat, Prima, and the remedies she keeps in her fanny pack at skydiving competitions. Marylou, you have a lot to share. I want to welcome you to the podcast. Marylou: Oh, thank you so much, Kate. I’m happy to be here. Ready, set, jump! Kate: (2:19) I can’t wait to hear all of your stories and to share them with the listeners. I just want to get started on a light note before we dive into the serious topic of homeopathy. I want to know what made you jump out of an airplane? Marylou: Well, the honest truth is when I was a little girl, I used to dream I could fly, and now I can. Kate: Well, flying is better than hitting the ground hard, for sure. Marylou: Yes. I mean, it’s amazing. There are many, many different aspects of skydiving, and the truest one for flying is doing a multiple-plane formation. And what I would love to do was be that person that would stand on the tailgate, and when they would say … they would look … they would tell me to go, and they would start the count for everyone else to leave. And my body leaving that lead plane, flying like a flock of geese in a vertical formation, triggered the trail planes to exit. I would be alone in the air flying, and they would then dive out, and we would all converge in the middle. The base would leave the middle, and we would all dock. And flying up to dock on that and all coming together is truly flying. Kate: Wow, that sounds incredible. Marylou: It was amazing. Kate: And scary, honestly. Taking the plunge Kate: (03:38) Well, let’s move on to your homeopathy journey, which started about 15 years ago. I know when you graduated, and starting to see clients and teaching the Gateway to Practical Homeopathy® I and II study guides and the Protocol Courses … I know you said you love teaching and seeing clients. So, tell us about your journey, and where you’re at now. Marylou: It all started about 15 years ago when I was a wildlife rehabilitator in the state of Connecticut, where I lived at the time. The place that rescued the animals, taking care of the babies that would come in. If everyone that was injured with a broken leg or traumatized, taking them to the vet would’ve been...

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: Learn It, Use It, Pass It On! Kate: (00:58) Welcome back to the Practical Homeopathy® Podcast. I’m Kate, and today I’m talking with Amanda, a mom of six, a Gateway study group leader, and someone who came to Practical Homeopathy®, I’d say, the long way around. Amanda first met homeopathy through a local homeopath after she had begun questioning a lot of the standards she had trusted for so long. She saw those little white pills work again and again for a chronic issue with her husband. So, she wanted to learn more and bought a kit. She bought the books, and she taught herself. So, today she’s going to share with us about the night her youngest daughter was flushed, hysterical, and what happened in less than a minute. She’ll also share how she’s used Practical Homeopathy® for chronic ear infections, migraines, OCD, infected spider bites, depression, kidney stones, and the ordinary emergencies of a house full of children. She leads Gateway study groups and so much more, and I’m thrilled to welcome Amanda. Hi, Amanda. Amanda: Hi, Kate. It’s an honor to be here. Thanks for having me. Kate: We are excited that you agreed to do this. So, I want to ask you to start at the beginning, Amanda. Amanda: Sure. Well, it was really, I say, by the grace of God, I came to learn about homeopathy. I have six kids (and a hubby) but only had two when I had started considering homeschooling. And I started hanging out with some outside-the-box thinking homeschoolers and found myself questioning the standards of the day all of a sudden. And I realized when I started doing my research that many of the things I’d put my trust in were not the best for our family and many, downright harmful. I decided to look up “natural health,” I think it was, online, and up came the name of a local homeopath. She helped us with whatever came up, including this chronic issue — it was a swallowing/choking issue for my husband. Kate: Oh! Amanda: Yeah, it was pretty serious. It was not uncommon to have him get up from the table and be choking on food. So, it was pretty distressing to watch and for him, obviously. And so, this homeopath helped us with this issue, and we saw the power of those little white pills again and again. When I started asking questions to learn more, I quickly found out our homeopath was not one to educate on the subject. So yes, I did what you had mentioned. I bought myself a kit and all the books I could get my hands on, and I followed some different homeopaths and gleaned as much as I could. Really, I was just starving for any tips and wisdom I could get into this brain, and I knew this stuff worked. I just wanted to be more capable and confident. And you see, our homeopath was not on call for us 24/7. Kate: Right. You still had to figure some things out. Amanda: I did. Very first success: Daughter in hysterics with a hot and red face Amanda: (03:59) So, I’ll never forget my first success with using homeopathy for my daughter. I remember all the keynotes screaming at me, as well as my youngest daughter screaming at me. All of a sudden, she was hysterical. Her face was flushed, red and hot. In her ear was red too, and her pupils were enlarged too. I’ve been ...

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: Pets, Parasites and Practical Homeopathy® Joette: (01:00) Welcome, friends. I’m Joette Calabrese, and this is the Practical Homeopathy Podcast. Today, we’re talking about something that makes people a little squeamish. We’re talking about worms — not earthworms — parasite-type worms. And we’ll be specifically about pinworms in this particular podcast. Now, Kate is joining me with a case about a dog who has pinworms. So, Kate, let’s get started. So, Kate has a dog. Kate, tell us about this dog. What leads you to believe that the dog even has pinworms? Cooper’s doing the bum-scoot boogie Kate: (01:38) Yeah, his name is Cooper. He’s super cute. He’s a mid-size mix, about four years old. And it makes me a little embarrassed to share this, but for the last couple of weeks, he’s been scooting across the rug. You know what I’m talking about? Joette: I do. Kate: And I’ve seen him licking back there a lot, too. Joette: Yeah, don’t be embarrassed, Kate. No, no. Itchy bottoms have been around as long as there have been bottoms. So, what else is going on with this Cooper? Kate: So, at night he seems restless, and I’ve been Googling a lot and trying to figure out what’s been going on. And everything I read points to him having pinworms. Joette: It’s not been officially diagnosed by a veterinarian? Kate: No, I haven’t taken him to the vet yet. It’s just the signs of the pinworm — or I assume that’s what it is. Joette: Well, assumptions are where we get into trouble. Have you actually seen pinworms? Kate: No, I looked, and I haven’t seen any of those white threads or anything yet, but I thought maybe I just missed them. Joette: So, what makes you think, though, that they’re pinworms, or maybe they’re a different kind of a parasite? Kate: Yeah, I guess it could be. It’s the scooting, the licking, and once I thought I saw something in his stool, but I don’t know for sure. He’s a little hungrier than usual, and I know that can be a sign. I’ve seen him rub his face on the carpet like he does when … Symptoms are important, but sometimes a diagnosis is needed Joette: (03:07) Like his nose itches, which is a part of this. Yes, yes, yes. Kate: Right. Joette: Well, listen, we really do go by observation. Symptoms are very important. We don’t want to make assumptions. However, I have to say scooting — especially if it’s happening a lot — and the itchy bottom could also be anal glands. It can be something else entirely. That’s why an official diagnosis is so useful. A fecal exam could tell you whether you’re dealing with worms at all, or if so, which kind. Now, true pinworms, Enterobius, are mainly a human story. Dogs more often have other intestinal parasites, but the picture people describe — rectal itching (because this is a human concern, too), restlessness, sometimes grinding teeth, sometimes a ravenous appetite, or the other way around, there’s no appetite. That picture is one homeopathy has spoken to for a very long time — and in people and in animals. Kate: So, you think I shouldn’t just treat Cooper based on what I think it might be … a hunch? Joette: Well, you can start observing, and you can learn. But these are medicines, these homeopathics. And I always prefer that we know a condition is present before we use a ...

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: Combining Nursing, Faith and Practical Homeopathy® Kate: (00:58) Hi everyone, and welcome to the Practical Homeopathy® Podcast. I’m Kate, and I am so glad you’re here with us today. This is the place where we show you how Practical Homeopathy® can become a real, everyday tool for taking care of yourself and the people you love. Whether you’re brand new to homeopathy or you’ve been studying it for a while, these conversations in this podcast are meant to encourage you, equip you, and remind you that you are not alone on this journey. Today, I have the pleasure of talking with Kena. Kena has been married nearly 40 years. She’s the mother of three adult children and a proud grandmother. Arizona has been her home most of her life, and faith, family and nursing have always been the foundation of who she is. After years of working as a nurse, Kena discovered faith community nursing, and immediately, she knew it was where her heart for people and faith could come together. She’s currently serving as a volunteer faith community nurse in her church, caring for others physically, emotionally and spiritually. Her path to homeopathy began when her aunt received a serious diagnosis and conventional medicine offered limited options. Watching her aunt improve with homeopathy and lifestyle changes lit a fire in Kena. She spent years searching for solid homeopathic education until she found Joette’s podcast a little over a year ago, and she just recently finished The Academy of Practical Homeopathy®. She’s seen beautiful results with homeopathy, and I can’t wait for her to share some of her stories, including a story about eczema. Her heart’s desire is to blend her nursing experience with Practical Homeopathy® so she can serve her family, friends, church, community and the next generation. Kena, welcome to the podcast. Kena: Hi, thank you. Thanks for having me. Faith Community Nursing Kate: (02:49) Absolutely. I can’t wait to get into your story. So, let’s start out by — if you wouldn’t mind — sharing a little bit about your journey. And I’m really interested in that nursing component where you made a little bit of a shift after a career in nursing, and now you went into faith community nursing, and now that’s becoming integrated with your homeopathy education. So, talk to us a little bit about that journey. Kena: Sure. Interestingly enough, my mother was also a registered nurse, so it kind of runs in the family — or a miasm, I guess. (A little humor there.) But that to be said, I did traditional bedside nursing, medical floor, went through the AIDS epidemic at bedside, so it was really relevant to things that we’ve encountered in more recent years with that experience. But somewhere along the way, I knew that I wanted to take the education I had and be of service to others outside the hospital setting, with people that would come to me saying, “Well, you’re a nurse, what do you think?” And I had to be so thoughtful about what to do with that. So, I discovered that there was a way to combine that with my faith. It used to be called parish nursing, but they broadened that term to be called faith community nursing. And every state board of nursing is regulated differently, so it may not apply to every state...

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: Types of Sore Throats and Their Associated Homeopathic Medicines Kate: (01:00) Welcome back to the Practical Homeopathy® Podcast. I’m Kate, and I have a question for you, Joette. Joette: Let’s go. Kate: I’ve been thinking. A sore throat is one of those symptoms that seems so ordinary, yet it can keep you from everyday things like talking, eating, sleeping, even sometimes thinking clearly. So, I want your perspective. When that annoying sore throat occurs, many people reach for lozenges, maybe a saltwater gargle, sometimes even an antibiotic. Joette: Exactly. But we know, of course, with Practical Homeopathy®, we have some really efficacious solutions. We don’t think of a sore throat as just a sore throat, regardless of the presentation. We often look at the kind of sore throat that’s in front of us. Because a fiery red, sudden, painful sore throat is not the same as one that’s pus-filled, splinter sensation in the throat, and neither is the same as the one that makes the pillow wet from drooling. They’re all a little different. Kate: I’d like to ask you, Joette, to give us some homeopathic solutions to different kinds of sore throats. Can we look at three very different sore throat pictures, and will you share the medicines that might match those pictures? An easy go-to combination medicine for sore throat Joette: (02:24) Sure. I’ll give you some clear practical tools you can use the next time a sore throat shows up in your home. But let me also say, before I discuss the different types of sore throat, I’d like to share an easy go-to combination homeopathic medicine by Boiron. It’s called ThroatCalm®. Now, I also have to say parenthetically, Boiron’s not the only manufacturing homeopathic pharmacy that we can buy combination medicines from. But this is just one of them that I’d like to talk about today. So, these combination medicines, I think, have extraordinary value because they’re so easy to use and easy to share with loved ones and friends. So, I’m looking right now at the back of the box of the product called ThroatCalm. Every ingredient is, of course, homeopathic. There’s also a spray that they call ThroatCalm Spray. And what’s interesting is that remedies that are in it are Echinacea 1X and Plantago major 1X. Kate: And that’s the spray, right? Joette: That’s the spray. Yes. I should have made that clear. Yes. Yes. Kate: I love these combination medicines from Boiron and other manufacturers, like you said, Joette, but can you share some specific types of sore throats now and what specific single homeopathic medicine we might consider for each of those types of sore throats? And friends, I just want to mention that we’re coming into cold and flu season, depending on when you’re listening to this podcast, of course. So, I want to suggest that you have these medicines on hand so you don’t have to try to get them when someone comes down with a sore throat. Joette: That’s prudent. No doubt about it. A painful, fiery red, quick-onset sore throat Joette: (04:09) So, the first homeopathic remedy I think of for a sore throat, especially if it’s really painful and fiery red, and especially if it has a quick onset. In other words, one minute the child or the person (whomever it might be) is fine, and then the next minute, oh my gosh, it is really, really painful. And so, it’s a quick onset. It’s sore, it’s bright red, sometimes with high fever. Sometimes, ...

This is the medicine you’ve been searching for — my unique brand of homeopathy, PRACTICAL Homeopathy®. Introduction: Raising 11 Children With Practical Homeopathy® Kate: (00:58) Welcome to the Practical Homeopathy® Podcast. I’m Kate, and I’m thrilled you’ve joined us today for this podcast. I think you’re going to find this particularly interesting because it will have you on the edge of your seat and give you some ideas that you can use in some scary situations. So, today I have the pleasure of introducing you to Mary. Mary has homeschooled 11 children, and she is now thoroughly enjoying her 10 grandchildren. She has a deep love of learning and an affection for classical literature. So, today in this podcast, Mary will be sharing her extensive experience with acute trauma cases — as you would expect with having 11 children, right? Mary has handled snake bites, scorpion stings, brown recluse spider bites and a wide range of sports injuries, always with a calm presence with homeopathy coming to the aid. And it all started with autism. So, Mary, welcome to the podcast. Mary: Hi, Kate. Kate: I’m so glad you’ve joined us, Mary. Thank you for doing this. You have many interesting things to share. So, let’s get started with how you came to homeopathy. It all started with autism Mary: (02:11) All right. It all started with our twin daughters acquiring autism after they had their infant shots. And I found out our family was sensitive to pharmaceuticals, so we had to find a way to take care of our family’s health. I first started learning about herbs and added essential oils in, but I became really curious about homeopathy. It just worked so well. It was very efficient. First time I used it was for my son, and he was getting injured in wrestling. So I went to the store, and someone helped me find something for that. And she pointed out homeopathy, and she gave me two vials of homeopathy. And I brought it home, and it must have worked because he ended up asking me for more. Kate: Wow! Mary: Yeah, right? A high school boy asking for more homeopathy. Kate: Yeah. Mary: Yeah. So, I thought, “Oh, maybe it’s time to learn this.” Kate: Maybe. The mystery of the little tubes Mary: (03:06) It was a mystery to me … all the little tubes. That was around 2006. And so, we went to a classical homeopath to get some help, and she was a sweetheart. She was really good at it because she taught it, but I wanted to learn more. She helped me with some acute situations, but I thought there was more I wanted to learn. And then another friend showed me Joette’s website. The first course I took was Allergic?! because my food allergies had gotten so bad I needed to do something. And I fell in love with Practical Homeopathy® because it was a way I could learn it and get pretty well caught up in learning it quickly. It was usable, and my food allergies started to go away. So then, of course, I was using it with the whole family for their allergies also. We just saw it; we made some really great gains in the allergy area. Then ...

Yeah, let’s turn those bathroom dashes into a thing of the past with a little — I don’t know — I guess I’d call it “homeopathic know-how.” Homeopathy: the little nudge the body needs Kate: (01:33) Agreed. Okay, so how about we start with the fundamentals? For anybody who might be new to this podcast, can you explain a few of the basics about homeopathy and why it’s such a game changer for issues like diarrhea? Joette: Yeah, absolutely. Let’s get started. So, homeopathy is based on the principle “like cures like.” We use highly diluted, potentized — which means it’s highly diluted — medicines from natural substances that in larger amounts might cause similar symptoms. But in these tiny, micro or nanodoses, they very gently nudge or stimulate the body’s own ability to heal itself. And these medicines … they have been helping families for over 200 years. There are no side effects, just smart support that works with the body. It’s actually our first stop for all sorts of woes, including belly troubles. Think of it as giving your system the precise little nudge or whisper it needs to remember its own ability. It’s beautiful, isn’t it? Kate: Yes. Oh, I love it. Okay. It also empowers us, I would say, to handle things at home, and so helps alleviate that fear that we don’t have something to help. Intense diarrhea? Veratrum album Kate: (02:57) So, we’re going to get practical right now. What are the top medicines for diarrhea, and how do we match them to the various kinds of diarrhea that one might experience? Joette: Okay, first, let’s talk about Veratrum album — two words: Veratrum and then the word album — for the more intense cases. Doesn’t have to be intense, but we know that if it is intense, we are going to be thinking about this. So, there might be severe, voluminous diarrhea, even with vomiting or nausea, cold sweats, clammy skin and weakness. There’s kind of a real weakness. It’s an in-depth weakness. It’s the big debilitating picture. And often I’ve paired it with Cuprum metallicum — two words, Cuprum metallicum — in a Banerji-style approach for cramps. So, Veratrum album steps in like, I guess I’d call it a “steady hand,” helping restore balance and strength. Used judiciously and hydrate well and watch what I’d call the “bounce back.” Kate: It’s pretty incredible. I’ve used Veratrum album many a time in our family for this condition, and it is a game changer. Absolutely. Burning diarrhea from food poisoning? Arsenicum album Joette: (04:12) Yeah. Then we have another remedy that I like to consider, and that’s Arsenicum album. So, we have Veratrum album and Arsenicum album. And so, Arsenicum is my hero for diarrhea that feels like food poisoning or something that didn’t sit right. So, think frequent, watery stools with burning — often there’s burning. It can be at the site, or it could be in the belly. It could be burning anywhere in the body. Plus, a sense of restlessness and anxiety. And sometimes the person can be chilly, and they want ...

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: Sinus infections and other stuffy situations Kate: (01:00) Welcome back, everyone, to the Practical Homeopathy® Podcast. In today’s episode, Joette will be talking about how we handle stuffy situations, you know, the ones that require endless tissues, nasal rinses, maybe a hot shower to get relief from the steam, and anything else that brings comfort to help with the pain and congestion of a sinus infection. And worse yet, sometimes those sinus infections can even go to our ears and cause earaches. Joette, sinus infections seem to last a lifetime when we’re experiencing them, and if it’s allergy season, that can make it even worse. Joette: Yes, I suffered for years from allergic states, but now I no longer suffer. I don’t at all, actually. We have our homeopathic medicines that we can turn to … should I need to. But it’s so occasional now, I might use a dose or two, and it’s gone for another year. So, we don’t have to sit in a stuffy suffering or resort to drugs. What is Practical Homeopathy®? Kate: (02:00) I think you should take a minute, just talk about what is it that you’re referring to when you refer to homeopathy? Joette: Yes, because I’m not referring to just any homeopathy. This is different. What I teach is a method that I call Practical Homeopathy®. Why we call it that is because it’s straightforward. And it’s protocol driven, which means that there’s a specific condition, then we use a specific homeopathic remedy. The potency and frequency are often baked into the whole protocol. And it makes it easy for families to confidently use homeopathy instead of wondering, “Oh my. What remedy again? What potency? What frequency? How often should I be using this?” I make it extremely easy. It’s like a recipe of sorts. When the symptoms first start presenting, you can address them right away, even if you have a few remedies or a small kit at home. And I hope that, should this condition plague you or someone in your family, that you have these medicines at home already. Because there’s nothing worse than saying, “Okay, I know what to use, but, ohhhh, I don’t own it.” Kate: Right, right. So, as you listen to these podcasts, read Joette’s blogs, be writing down the names of those remedies and start purchasing them when you can. We say, Joette, that we don’t buy shoes. (Well, maybe we buy a few shoes.) But instead of buying lots of shoes, we accumulate homeopathic medicines. Joette: Yeah, it becomes a source of pride when you go to your cabinet and say, “Oh wow, look at all the choices that I have for all the different conditions that my family suffers or may suffer.” A closer look at Boiron’s SinusCalm® Joette: (3:33) So, getting back to sinus infections, let’s start with something that you can definitely find at a local drug store or even many grocery stores or even big box stores. Yes, these homeopathic medicines can be found there. And usually, they are the combination homeopathic medicines manufactured by a homeopathic pharmacy, such as Boiron. And one of my favorites is SinusCalm® made by Boiron. And yes, you can find this in grocery stores. Now I’ll share some other single homeopathic medicines shortly, but this is a great option to start with. And it’s so easy and so accessible, and it looks like any other drug of sorts because it’s not in the little blue tubes (although we also consider those), but they’re in bubble packs, and you’ll see that it’s got all the directions and everything is laid out perfectly. Kate: Yeah. I keep those Boiron combination remedies around. I like to have them on hand just in case, ...
