Joette:  And it was just coming to light how dangerous antibiotics were. We really, truly don’t want these drugs in our kids’ precious little bodies. It falls onto our shoulders.

Paola:  Yes.

Joette:  And I love when someone comes pre-skeptical, already skeptical, “Ah, really. You’re going to have to prove it to me because really, homeopathy? If it was so important, why isn’t my doctor using it or how come I’ve never heard about it?” I embrace it. I loved it. I have this vision of mothers linking arms across the globe. It is transformational.

Paola:  We’ve got a great episode today and we really look at the heart of Joette’s mission which is to make homeopathy very usable and accessible to moms and families. In this podcast, we talk about Joette’s brand new system she is launching called Study Groups, A Gateway to Homeopathy. If you’re new to JoetteCalabrese.com or even if you’ve been with us for a while but haven’t known how to get started, this episode is pretty exciting because it’s your launch pad into the world of homeopathy. So let’s talk Study Groups.

Hi. I’m here with Joette Calabrese. How are you, Joette? 

Joette:  I’m doing well. Hi Paola. This is really fun. We’re going to do this to make this really extemporaneous, right?

Paola:  Yes, we are just going to talk like we’re in my kitchen right now.

Joette:  Right.

Paola:  I’m excited about this topic on Study Groups. It’s near and dear to my heart and I know it’s near and dear to your heart.

Joette:  It is.

Paola:  So tell us about Study Groups, what with homeopathy. Tell us about why you started your first homeopathy study group?

The origin

Joette:  Well, I started my first study group back in the 80s, when of course, there was no internet. It was very hard to find books on homeopathy. Most of them were from England and Germany and they had to be translated and all of that kind of stuff. I’d found a homeopath who I liked very much and she was helping me with conditions that my children might come up with here and there. And then, I asked her if she would teach a group of us.

So we got a group together and I got my friends together. Many of them didn't know what homeopathy was. They thought it meant home remedies, that kind of thing. I had to do a little bit of selling but not much because around that time, it seemed to be a big interest, at least in my neck of the woods in New York State with the problems with drugs in children. It was just coming to light how dangerous antibiotics were. It still didn't get out into the general public but it was just coming to light if you’re paying attention.

So I got this group together and we met in my living room every Thursday night for four years. It was a blast. And at the time, I had only one child. I wasn't working outside of the home. I wanted to be home with him and I didn't have time outside of the home. My whole life was our home, my parents, my child, my husband, my family. It was all about family and it was really nice to have kind of a night out. Well, it wasn't really a night out because it was in my living room.
