Gateway to Homeopathy: A Guided Study Group Curriculum

 

 

Kate:  This is the Practical Homeopathy® Podcast Episode Number 88 with Joette Calabrese.

 

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:  Welcome back to the podcast, everyone. Thanks for joining us. We're going to spend a little time reflecting today. Joette, you've been using homeopathy and seeing clients for quite some time. I believe it's been over 30 years. 

 

Joette:  Well, I've been using homeopathy, I started studying it about 32, actually 33 years ago. But I didn't go into full-time real practice where I actually hung out a shingle and met with clients full-time until about 25 years ago.

 

Kate:  Well, that's still a very long time.

 

Joette:  It is. It is.

 

The best results reserved for the purest people?

 

Kate:  Yes, and you must have seen so much in that period of time. I imagine that you have a lot of observations that you've made over the years.

 

Joette:  I have seen a lot. Many of the ideas that have come to me have changed through the years.

 

For example … we might as well just get into it. For example, I always thought — I expected — that those who would have the best results would be the purest people, meaning babies. I always assumed that babies would get well much faster from a chronic condition — I'm not talking about acute so much, but a chronic condition — much more readily than an adult would. An adult who had many years of medications would not respond as well as a child.

 

I've proven that wrong time and time again.

 

It doesn't mean that it's more one way or the other. But just when you think you're going to expect to see something that's going to take six months, you see a change in three weeks, even for a chronic condition! It doesn't mean it's necessarily completely healed, but we often see a shift that's big enough that the person can say, “Oh, my gosh! This is really making a change in my life, and so I want to keep going with this.”

 

Or with a young person, a child, a baby, that we see eczema, and sometimes it can take me many, many months to witness a dramatic change.

 

So, when people say to me, “Well, I know my case is more difficult because I've taken many drugs; I've taken lots of antibiotics; I've been on the birth control pill for 10 years; I've used steroids — that's going to really impede my movement forward.”

 

I always say, “No, not necessarily. It wasn't necessarily the best way to live our lives by taking all of those meds, but it doesn't mean that you're not going to move forward quickly.”

 

It sometimes is quite surprising how it's not what we expect.

 

Kate:  Yes. That's very interesting. I would not have thought that. Someone who has had a history of many, many chronic conditions, and you would expect thinking logically that this is going to be tough, sometimes you see that change right away and vice versa. That's very interesting.

 

Joette:  It's the same with cancer, too. I don't take cases of cancer, but I worked in the Banerji clinic (Homeopathic Research Foundation in Kolkata). I worked at the clinic for a period of time every year over a period of eight years.
