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,

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,

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 i...

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,

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”?

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.

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'm here today with Joette. Joette: Hi Kate and friends. Kate: Hi. We want to thank you — all of our listeners —for taking the time to be here with us today. This is so important, and we commend you for taking these steps towards deepening your knowledge with homeopathy. This will help protect you and your family and your loved ones. So, welcome! Joette: Knowing how to use these medicines will keep you not only on par with what's going on in your family on a day-to-day basis, but as you age, it keeps you relevant. “Grandma, what do I do for a back that aches?” “Grandma, my ear hurts. 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,

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.

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,

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,

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.
