Drug tests.
Remember when early radio and television shows closed by saying, “Keep those cards and letters rolling in?”
Well, believe me. Cards, letters, emails and phone calls roll into my office every day. In fact, my team receives scores of correspondence from readers and students alike — most of them containing questions.
Now, many questions are too specific to an individual’s unique experience for me to answer without taking the entire case.
Additional questions, unfortunately, involve relatively obscure topics that wouldn’t interest a broad section of my readers. It’s not that they’re not good questions. It’s just that I endeavor to serve as many folks as possible with each post.
Often, requests for information are just too detailed to get into a short format, such as my blog or my Memos to Mighty Members. But I do carefully consider each question and request for information that comes my way.
Recently, one of you wrote in asking whether anything in homeopathic remedies could potentially show up on a workplace random drug test.
I can tell you right now that I know people who use homeopathy and have drug tests for their employment on a regular basis, and nothing improper has ever shown up on the tests.
I even had a client some time ago who was utilizing homeopathic Cannabis sativa 30C for inability to concentrate and passed his employer’s drug test with no concern!
Now, I'm not going to say homeopathy absolutely won't ever show up on a drug test someday. An extraordinarily sensitive test to identify nanoparticles of a gross substance may be invented making this answer outdated.
But as of right now, I don't care if a person is taking one of our more commonly utilized medicines, like Arnica 200C or homeopathic Nux vomica 200C. It doesn't matter.
Our medicines are so diluted that very little of the original gross substance remains in each homeopathically prepared remedy.
In fact, that’s one of the points that naysayers make against homeopathy. They say there's nothing in it.
That’s, of course, not true. It’s just that they can't readily identify the molecules — at least not with the usual ways of testing — because each medicine is so highly diluted.
The whole point of homeopathy is that the substance is no longer in its gross form. For instance, when we employ homeopathic Belladonna, we are not utilizing it in its natural state—deadly nightshade. My goodness, no.
Instead, homeopathic Belladonna has been highly diluted by the manufacturing pharmacies to precise specifications (see Answering Questions: X or C). There's nothing in our homeopathic medicine that would resemble a relationship to the toxic downside of the gross substance from which they are derived.
Homeopathy may be used with confidence. Our medicines are on such a higher plane — a completely different level. With homeopathic medicines, there are no side effects. They're not narcotic. They're not synthetic pharmaceuticals. They’re not addictive.
Although, I may have to amend that last statement. Indeed, homeopathy can be addictive. Because it's a heady experience to help someone, many of my students can't stop amassing knowledge and collecting remedies. So, I suppose the successful use of a polite, natural, gentle, efficacious medicine can be very addictive.
But good news: The ardent desire to keep healing one’s family autonomously won’t appear on a drug test either.
My friends, pass on the good news of Practical Homeopathy®!
Warmly,
P.S. My friends, if you are new to homeopathy — even if you’ve used homeopathy before with mixed success — the Gateway to Homeopathy: A Guided Study Group Curriculum was developed to provide a much-needed foundation as you develop your knowledge and hone your skills.
I promise this endeavor will not fatigue you. This kind of thinking — the thinking behind my Practical Homeopathy® — won’t mire you in complex, over-intellectualized methods or esoteric thinking.
Instead, its simple and clean approach will likely amaze and energize you. It will empower you beyond your wildest imagination. It will invigorate you and nourish you for the rest of your life. It will galvanize you into knowing something you’ve suspected all along — that you can treat your family yourself.
I urge you to step through the Gateway and begin a journey to healthcare autonomy that no other paradigm can provide. All it takes is one click.
I am a homeopath with a worldwide practice working with families and individuals via Zoom. I'm also a teacher and most importantly, a mom who raised my now-adult children depending on homeopathy over the last 31 years. I lived decades of my life with food intolerances, allergies, and chemical sensitivities until I was cured with homeopathy, so I understand pain, anxiety, and suffering. You may feel that your issues are more severe or different than anyone else’s, but I have seen it all in my practice and in my work in India. My opinion is that nothing has come close to the reproducible, safe and effective results that my clients, students and I have achieved with homeopathy.
Call today and learn how homeopathy might just be the missing piece in your health strategy.

Interesting story-not about a drug test, but related, I think.
When my son went off to the USAF Academy in 1990, I bought him a homeopathic remedy kit to take along. It was in his duffle bag when he boarded a bus back to the airport. There was a drug sniffing dog checking all the bus baggage and he ALERTED on the duffel bag. After much searching, the officer concluded that it must be the homeopathic kit. It still had an unbroken seal, so they let him keep it! So, a drug test might not detect it, but this dog sure did!
interesting
Hopefully, this explanation makes sense, as I trust Joette’s feedback and believe 100% this dog did not alert to his homeopathy.
Having experienced drug sniffing dogs do their job, he probably hit on the duffle bag itself or its (prior?) contents. Even money can alert dogs, due to the many hands it has traveled through, (including drug dealers). Another possibility is that it wasn’t a hit at all, but a claim the officer made to justify a search he wanted to do. Otherwise, it could have been a false “alert” whose owner was too proud to admit his canine missed the mark, (a reflection on his owner’s training or lack thereof). I’ve seen a variety, including one who totally miss the drugs that were planted for him to establish his credibility. More training was needed, lol.
Thank you Joette for all the amazing work you do and education you provide to so many of us!
Thanks for your confidence in me Lisa.
