Teaching my year-long online class How to Raise a Drug-Free Family has been so enjoyable and rewarding as my students grow in their homeopathic knowledge that I just had to share one of their stories:
Elaine writes:
My husband, Rob, has been dealing with his health for some time now. He has finally figured out that his testosterone levels are extremely low. So now that he knows what is wrong with him and he is taking more action, he is in a much better place. Anyway, he was prescribed a new testosterone replacement because the one he had wasn't helping. He started using it on a Saturday, and that night he had a couple glasses of wine.
Well, he woke up with the worst headache ever and was vomiting and rolling around all over the place. I felt so bad for him. As you taught me to do, I grabbed the text book from our webinar class and choose a remedy for him, and he was back asleep in 15 minutes. I remembered that when a person falls asleep soon after taking a remedy, it means that I picked the right one. Success!
His need for homeopathy didn’t stop there. The next day, he grabbed the chicken I was cooking out of the oven. He wasn't thinking at all and grabbed it with his bare hand! Totally burned his hand and was freaking out because of the pain. It was so bad that I was getting the family ready to go to the emergency room. In between all of this, I took to our book searched for the injury module and chose a remedy for him to take for the burn pain. I also decided to make a little water mixed with the remedy to put onto the burn because you direct us in that module to spray the burn as well.
The pain became manageable, and he decided to wait to see if the burn would blister before going to the ER. Wouldn't you know, the only spot that I didn't rub the water mixture on was the only spot that blistered!
Rob was beside himself. He was ranting and raving about this stuff being a miracle cure. He couldn't believe how it healed him so fast – twice in one day! I just love when Rob gets it! He is my biggest skeptic because his mom, who's a nurse, is always telling him that drugs are good. So when he is amazed by homeopathy, I just love it!
One of my favorite parts of being a homeopath is that I get to hear amazing stories like this every day. Embrace homeopathy as your medicine of choice, and soon you’ll have your own testimonials of cure to share. The word is spreading as savvy mothers and others determine to take back control of their family’s health.

Remember Constantine Hering who formulated the famous Homeopathic Laws of Cure that I wrote about a few weeks ago? I couldn't resist sharing with you some of his amazing story.
Believe it or not, when he first began studying homeopathy, he did so as a researcher trying to disprove
homeopathy.
Dr. Constantine Hering started down a path that would change his entire future when a French surgeon
he was studying under in Dresden asked him to take on the project of writing a pamphlet discrediting
homeopathy. In order to do this, he started studying the writings of homeopathy’s founder, Samuel
Hahneman.
To his surprise, Hering became convinced that Hahneman was right, and the two men began a
correspondence and eventual friendship. Please understand that this was not some quick survey of
Hahneman’s works. In fact, he devoted two years to studying Hahneman’s principles before coming to
his conclusion.
Like so many skeptics I've come across, it took a personal experience with homeopathy to completely
convince Hering of homeopathy’s validity. During an autopsy, Hering sliced his finger, and the wound
eventually became infected. The finger developed gangrene, and amputation was recommended.
Luckily, a friend gave Hering the remedy Arsenicum album. No amputation necessary!
As a result of his amazing cure, Hering decided to devote his life to spreading homeopathy’s message.
When he immigrated to Pennsylvania in 1833, he brought knowledge of its powerful ability to heal with
him, eventually becoming the father of homeopathy in America.
Before he arrived, Samuel Hahneman’s homeopathic texts were only available in their original German,
and very few homeopaths were practicing in this country. Besides having this valuable literature
translated into English, Hering also started the first American School of Homeopathy, the North
American Academy of the Homeopathic Healing Art located in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
Working tirelessly, Dr. Hering eventually oversaw provings of 91 remedies, including such valuable
polycrests as Lachesis and Gelsemium. But his greatest contribution may have been the first Materia
Medica in English, The Guiding Symptoms of Our Materia Medica.
As Constantine Hering shows us, sometimes the testimony of a former skeptic is the best advertisement.

Here's a note about my recent speaking engagement at the Weston A. Price conference written by my wonderful husband Perry:
Five hundred plus cheering attendees joined Joette’s presentation at the Santa Clara conference (standing room only!). The enthusiasm for her message of treating your family yourself was contagious.
The more than 1700 in attendance and the food remained pure and true to Dr. Price’s ideals.
Our booth was frequently three people deep, with loads of questions on how to get started. Our two sons, staff member Aimee, Joette and I were busy answering questions on homeopathy from the moment the doors opened until the closing ceremonies.
We've come away with new friends, lots of names submitted for the Hyland’s Household Kit raffle and orders for CDs and kits to be shipped all over the world. It was a blast!
If you've been following our Facebook page and Twitter feeds, you've seen our photographs and followed the memes.
Clearly we touched a subject that has an ardent following.
Let’s stay in touch. As I write this, Joette and her staff are authoring new courses and ways to make learning homeopathy easier.
A standing room only attendance to hear Joette
Joette tells the story of her own recovery.
Hey, Mom, isn’t that the remedy that got rid of my ear infection?

In the 1830s, a German homeopath, Constantine Hering, emigrated to the United States and became the Father of American Homeopathy. Included in his works is what today is called “Hering’s Law of Cure.” The precepts of his laws can be used to assess health history and present symptoms. They are not absolute, but should be used as a guideline in prescribing. When an illness is treated homeopathically, you might very well witness the almost unbelievable accuracy of the body’s memory as the healing processes follow “Hering’s Law of Cure.”
Hering’s First Law is that healing migrates from the innermost part of the patient, such as the emotions or lungs, to the outermost areas, such as the muscles or skin.
If we see someone with a lung infection who is relieved of coughing spasms and pain after a homeopathic prescription and then is plagued with an old case of eczema, we are comforted with the knowledge that the pathology has been shifted to the outer area of the body.
Using a cortisone-type cream will likely eliminate the skin issue but may cause the lungs to take on the pathology once again. This is why I plead with my clients to put up with temporary annoyances like rashes without succumbing to over-the-counter or prescription medications.
Once a homeopathic remedy is administered, the body begins to retrace the steps and paths it has taken throughout the illness. The good news is that the retracing of past conditions isn’t a regression, but a progression!
As the body heals according to “Hering’s Law of Cure,” one observes that its first priority is to preserve and protect its most vital organs. Dangers to the internal organs, such as the heart and lungs, are the first to be eliminated. When order is restored to them, the body can then begin healing the less vital organs and systems.
According to Hering’s Second Law, symptoms appear and disappear in reverse order from which they appeared. This is not always evident in acute illness but is often observed in a chronic one.
Hering’s Third Law states that healing proceeds from the upper part of the body to the lower parts. For example, a headache may disappear after the correct prescription, and then the pain will relocate to an old, arthritic wrist. In these cases, we are happy to see this movement towards health, but it doesn't mean we stop there. The next step may mean that we look for the next remedy that will complete the cure by eliminating the last, lodged location of pain.
Observing the direction of cure is valuable for its ability to give us information. It will clue us in to whether the correct remedy has been chosen and where the illness will take the patient.
Understanding these homeopathic laws is of utmost importance for those being treated constitutionally. Be a detective and keep an eye out for any changes. They just might be the signs of cure.

If you've read my blog posts in the past, you’ll remember that I’m no lover of flu shots. Indeed, I've seen the damage they can do, but Rite Aid’s slogan promoting flu shots did resonate with me: “Don’t hide from the flu.”
The good news is that you don’t have to hide from the flu, and the process doesn't involve injecting yourself with questionable viral concoctions. Have no fear of getting close enough to hug and kiss your loved ones, even greeting friends, regardless of the germs, with my easy-to-use remedy flowchart.
I’m all about making this as easy as possible to use at home.
The only problem is that you need to move quickly in order to take advantage of this flu protocol. If you note that your child appears to have contracted the flu, and you act on it within the first 12 -24 hours, you may be able to abort it or at least lessen it to a great degree without going to the next step.
Below are the remedies to have on hand. Use either c or x potency.
1) Ammonium carbonicum 30
2) Aconitum 6
3) Nux vomica 6
4) Mercurius sol 6
5) Arsenicum album 6
*Stop administering at any juncture when there is measurable improvement, and resume where you left off if the symptoms recur a few days later.
What happens if you didn't get to the remedies in time or you chose incorrectly and the cold lingers and lingers?
One of the best little tricks I know is to use Sulphur 30 every 3-4 hours for 1-2 days. If at any time the cold seems to be much improved, then stop the remedy. If it returns a few days later, then resume using the remedy. However, don’t continue with the treatment for more than 5 days. It’s important to mention here that a lingering cold or flu is one that lasts more than 2 weeks or so.
Another beneficial tidbit to remember is that if the flu is rampant in your school or neighborhood, and your children are particularly susceptible to it, consider using a prophylactic against it. One of the best is Influenzinum 30, four times in one day, every week for one month, then every month until the end of flu season. Be sure to stop when the threat is over.
With this chart, your remedy kit (call or email us and we’ll send you one) and a few additional remedies, have no fear of getting close to others even during cold and flu season. Then, kiss to your heart’s content!

Ever been faced with a skeptical friend or family member who can’t understand why you would choose to treat your family with homeopathy rather than conventional medicine? I've been thinking about some of the top reasons why I made the choice to raise my family with homeopathy.
Keep this list handy for the next time you want a little encouragement or want to succinctly explain the benefits of homeopathy to others.
There’s a reason why homeopathy is the medicine of choice in countries like India, Cuba, South America and Europe. It packs quite a punch for the money. Once you have a bit of homeopathic knowledge under your belt, you can treat most ailments at home with your remedy kit and avoid paying co-pays. If you own a kit, the remedies are as low as $2.50 each and will last decades. Feel free to contact us if you’re interested in a household kit.
What medications do you know of that are safe for everyone including newborns, pregnant women, and the elderly? Rest assured that as long as they are used correctly, homeopathic remedies pose no danger to any of these groups.
It is gentle enough for your baby but also powerful enough to act deeply to fix even chronic health problems.
No matter what medications you take or procedures you undergo, homeopathy causes no negative interactions when used concomitantly. It is particularly beneficial to use when facing an upcoming surgery. Fortunately, many major medical centers are beginning to realize the benefit of homeopathy. In my home town of Buffalo, New York, our flagship hospital uses homeopathy in the emergency room.
If you consult with a homeopath, you will probably be surprised at the amount of detailed questions she asks. You might wonder why it matters, for example, whether you’re typically thirsty or not. Homeopathy takes the totality of the individual into account in a way that conventional medicine has no interest in exploring.
The human body was not designed to function as separate systems of organs.
This is the reason that resonates most with me as a fiercely independent Sicilian-American. My immigrant grandmothers would never have dreamed of letting anyone tell them how to raise their children. My dream is to see a movement of mothers and curious others committed to taking back their God-given right to decide how to care for their own family.
Indeed, it works on newborns, the unconscious, livestock, family pets and my father who years ago didn't know I was giving it to him in his soup. So don’t let anyone tell you that it’s a placebo. And more importantly, it works much more effectively than conventional drugs.
I hope my list has inspired you to be bold, be courageous and count on homeopathy for your family. Certainly, I know how much there is to learn, but if I can do it, you can too.

Check out some of the educational resources I've developed to help mothers and others master the tricks I've learned as a homeopath and mother who has depended exclusively on this form of medicine. I know you can do this!
I used to be an anti-pesticide activist. That meant I’d get together with town council members to educate them about the dangers of herbicides and insecticides and propose alternatives. I also met with every hospital in Western New York in 1988 and convinced them to halt their lawn spray programs.
The efforts of our small, dedicated group made the national press as Buffalo became the first city in the country to stop using dangerous chemicals in public spaces. Those were proud and satisfying years.
But now I have another task at hand. Not unlike protesting the use of dangerous chemicals in our schools, I have a mission to abort the use of pesticides, chemicals and superfluous substances in our bodies. This assault now comes in the form of drugs, over the counter and, worse yet, prescribed medications.
My message may seem a bit dramatic or reactionary, but the analogy between pesticides and drugs is powerful and very real.
Whereas I used to be concerned about pollution sprayed on the lawns on which our children romped, it has become increasingly clear that the worst pollutants of all are the ones we willingly place directly into our mouths and the mouths of our children. Wait a minute! Aren’t medicines supposed to be carefully crafted substances that aid us when we’re sick? Well, I say a resounding NO.
Think of your garden. You wouldn’t be caught dead spraying pesticides on it, would you? Instead you carefully collect your table scraps and garden waste, add manure and allow the mixture to cultivate and breed lovely, enzyme-producing matter called compost. Then you till your treasured compost into your soil to make sure your plants are adequately nourished with health-boosting natural nutrients.
If you see a pest, do you react with a pesticide? Of course not! To do so would weaken your plants, make them less hardy and might ultimately compromise their good health.
Then, why would we give our child an antibiotic? It acts precisely like a pesticide in the body. It not only kills the bad bugs but wipes out any beneficial microorganisms that keep the child thriving.
Next time you’re pressured by a well-meaning practitioner to give your child a medication that your intuition tells you is harmful, remember my garden analogy. Our guts, like the soil of a healthy garden, are filled with a plethora of microorganisms that live in a delicate balance.
How arrogant of us to assume that we know the lasting consequences of introducing a powerful, microbe-killing agent into this environment. Instead, let’s strengthen our gut garden with probiotic-rich foods like raw milk and overall sound nutrition and let’s learn about and use alternatives to antibiotics.
Join me. Learn how to treat your family through homeopathy.
