Gateway to Homeopathy: A Guided Study Group Curriculum

Kate:  This is the Practical Homeopathy® Podcast Episode Number 104.

 

Joette:  This is Joette Calabrese, and I’d like to welcome you to the Practical Homeopathy® Podcast. Women and men worldwide are taking back control of their families’ health and learning how to heal their bodies naturally, safely and effectively.

 

So, if you’re hungry to learn more, you’ve come to the right place. Stay tuned as we give you the tools — and the inspiration — you need as I share my decades of experience and knowledge using this powerful medicine we call homeopathy.

 

 

 

Kate:  Hi, this is Kate, and I want to welcome you back to the Practical Homeopathy® podcast. I'm here today with Joette. We have some very interesting things to talk about.

 

Hi, Joette!

 

Joette:  Hi, Kate. It’s always fun.

 

Classical or Practical Homeopathy®?

 

Kate:  Yeah! We're going to dig deep today. We're going to be talking about sort of a heavy subject.

 

So, I have a question for you. When I go online and try to look up remedies for certain conditions, I can find an abundance of information on acute conditions, but it is super-hard to find information on how to treat chronic conditions.

 

Tell us what your perspective is on that, Joette.

 

Joette:  Well, that was exactly my frustration when I was a young mother dealing with my children. I was happy to find how to treat a fever and otitis media and conjunctivitis and strep throat and an injury. But boy, when it came to food intolerances or allergies or my mother's chronic arthritis or my mother's insomnia, et cetera … my father's heart condition — it drove me crazy (which is why, of course, I decided to start studying classical homeopathy).

 

That's where there's a division. Because what you'll find online and in homeopathy books (we're talking about books that are directed to the general public), is they'll teach only those acute conditions. Because the goal of the classical homeopaths and the classical homeopathy schools is to encourage moms and grandmothers that the only way they can learn how to treat a chronic condition is if they become classical homeopaths.

 

And that is a very expensive and time-consuming endeavor. In the end, when these moms and grandmothers finish these courses, they are able to understand classical homeopathy, but they still don't have the practical experience or results. They don't have practical methods.

 

Kate:  So, you're not saying it's a bad thing to study classical homeopathy. You're just saying that even though you've gone that route, there's still something that's missing.

 

Joette:  Classical homeopathy offers a good foundation if you want to become a practitioner.

 

As a practitioner, you need to understand the history of homeopathy. You need to be very familiar with Dr. Samuel Hahnemann’s aphorisms. Many of them should be memorized. You should know how to navigate a repertory (inside and out, not only manually but also in a program), medicines in the materia medica and know their keynotes. That gives a very good foundation for someone who's going to hang out a shingle. Except that's all it gives — is a foundation.

 

It does not leave the student (once they graduate) with a practical aspect of how to treat the person. That's what's missing.

 

You're left with a very vague notion of what needs to be done. Because the goal of the classical homeopath is to find THE simillimum — the one medicine — the constitutional remedy that will stimulate that person's ability to correct everything in that person's body,
