You are listening to a podcast from practicalhomeopathy.com where nationally certified American homeopath, public speaker, and author, Joette Calabrese, shares her passion for helping families stay healthy through homeopathy and nutrient-dense nutrition.

 

Joette:  We don’t know how far this would go. But, we don’t want our choices — that’s the keyword, that’s the keyword — we don’t want our choices taken away from us.

Kate:  You are listening to Podcast Number 44 with Joette Calabrese at practicalhomeopathy.com. On today’s podcast, Joette will be conducting an interview with someone who will unpack the recent FDA action on homeopathy. Learn more about what the FDA is proposing, and how you can help ensure homeopathic medicines remain accessible now and in the future.

Joette:  Hi folks! Tonight, we’re reversing the tables, and I will be doing the interviewing. So tonight, we are discussing something that’s rather important about the laws around homeopathy. We’re going to be meeting with Paola Brown. Now, some of you may know Paola; some of you may not. So, I’m going to tell you a little bit more about her. Paola used to work for me for a few years. We miss her, but she started homesteading. She has three kids and she homeschools. She lives in Texas, of course! She is a member of the Texas Society of Homeopathy. She is an activist for homeopathy. Paola is the President of Americans for Homeopathy Choice. I miss having her on my personal team, but every once in a while, Paola comes back to me and says, “Okay, can I do this with you?”

 

 

Paola:  It’s really fun to be here with you, Joette. I feel a little weird because I am so used to interviewing you for your podcast back when we used to do it together, and we had so much fun.

Joette:  Well, I know Paola when we started these study groups of, you know, Gateway to Homeopathy, you kind of took that study group and ran with it (is putting it mildly). You used to pack them in. I think you’re still doing it.

Paola:  I love teaching that study group with your curriculum. I loved it. In many ways, it’s put me in position to do what I’m doing right now for Americans for Homeopathy Choice. I have to say, Joette, I see you as my mentor — of course, as my friend. But, it all started with you — that very first class you taught, Good Gut, Bad Gut. It means a lot to me that you have mentored me and coached me and helped me learn homeopathy and given me personal advice and professional advice. I just really appreciate that. But really, I think one of the biggest things you’ve given me, Joette — that nobody else could do, it was just you that could do it — is you gave me the permission to step up and be the mom that I always wanted to be as far as taking care of my family, and caring for them, and giving me the courage I needed.

Joette:  I love it! I love it!

Paola:  I didn’t need that permission, but you gave me that permission that I needed.

Joette:  I love it! That’s my shtick. That’s truly what I’m all about — giving mothers and grandmothers the right and the permission to get back to being the kind of parents and grandparents they want to be.

Paola:  That’s right.

Joette:  It’s a beautiful thing. So, Paola, tell me what’s going on with the FDA. I mean, I have a good idea. And I’ve been in this arena for so long, I’ve seen changes around the FDA and all of that. But give us as briefly, my friend, as you can.

Paola:  I will try. I actually wrote these points out because I do want to get it real briefly. Right before Christmas …

Joette:  This was Christmas 2017.
