Tick bites are a universal concern during the summer months. My articles on tick bites and Lyme get more traffic this time of year than almost any other topic.
Yet, it’s one thing for me to tell you about my success stories from clinical experience. My successes after decades of practice are probably somewhat expected. However, it’s another thing entirely for me to share a success story from the direct experience of one of my students.
This is the beauty of Practical Homeopathy®. With a little education, anyone can demonstrate health care autonomy when common conditions, such as tick bites, occur in their family. With even more education, such as is available in my Protocol Courses or in The Academy of Practical Homeopathy®, the sky’s the limit.
Today, I’m going to share a story from Allison M., one of my Gateway students. Allison obviously has plenty of guts, spunk, and moxie, and a strong grasp of the basics of Practical Homeopathy®. Read — in her own words — what happened. And to think … she started out just like you.
“I was introduced to homeopathy in 2019 by one of my clients, Chris. I felt the pull to learn more immediately and registered for Gateway I and II in a group setting and completed the program with a lot of excitement.
“I continue to follow Joette and have been practicing homeopathy on myself and my family for six years. I wasn’t fearful through C[- – – -]. I’ve treated normal ailments — even refrained from providing my son Rx pain meds following surgery where he had a screw put in his hand — all because of what I’ve learned through Joette and her community. Homeopathy has always won.
“Most recently for me I noticed a small bump on my upper right arm the week after the 4th of July. It wasn’t there before and thought maybe a mosquito bite and asked my husband if it was a bad bite, he said, ‘No, just a bump.’
“A couple days later, on Saturday night, I noticed a bull’s eye in that same space where I felt the bump the other night. To be honest, I was a little anxious, and then I thought, “Okay, this is either ringworm, a tick bite or allergic reaction to a mosquito.”
“Immediately, I was looking for Ledum 200, only not successful because I remember using the last of it for my son recently, and I didn’t reorder.
“My second thought was Apis, and I had it in 30. Put some Calendula on it and went to bed.
“When I woke up Sunday morning, the bullseye was still there. No improvement and more prominent. I know this rattled me, and it really rattled my husband, especially with all the concerns with ticks and Lyme disease lately …
“I was hitting a wall and couldn’t think, so I reached out to a friend of mine in the community who knows homeopathy quite well. Hating to disturb her on a Sunday, I sent a quick text for support.
“While my husband and I were heading out the door to go to Urgent Care my phone rang. She immediately calmed me down, asking questions. I mentioned not wanting to go to Urgent Care, but I wasn’t thinking straight, and I allowed the fear to get into my head.
“I told her I didn’t have Ledum; she asked if I had Hepar sulph 200, and I said yes.
“ ‘Do you have Hypericum 200?’ I said, ‘Yes.’
“ ‘Do you have Arsenicum album 200?’ I said, ‘No, I do have 30.’ So, as Joette always says, ‘Use what you have until you get what you need.’
“I began dosing every 15 minutes for 45 minutes, and then I filled a large glass jar with water and 10 pellets of the remedies. Here’s a picture of my arm on Sunday afternoon at 2:23 pm:
“The area was still red, still warm, only I could tell it was getting better. I would also add it was itchy, almost like when I get a cold sore. Before it appears, I feel an itching on the inside of my lip.
“I continued to water dose, and here’s what my arm looked like at 5:24 pm on Sunday:
“I began to get a headache, and while my husband was making dinner, I decided to lay down for about 30 minutes. I ended up waking up after midnight — no dinner — and went back to bed. “When I woke on Monday morning, I took a picture of my arm. Here’s that picture — not even 24 hours later — at 8:22 am on Monday:
“It’s a remarkable improvement! In less than 24 hours, and the healing continued. By Monday night at 7:10 pm, it was almost gone!
“All my pictures are taken in different lighting, so forgive me, but you can see the remedies were working, and I was getting well.
“No ER, no Urgent Care, no doctor. Just in the confines of my own home, I was able to heal myself with no Rx antibiotics or permanent record.
“There it is … homeopathy for the win.
“What I realized through these last few days is how horribly hardwired and programmed we’ve become. It’s crazy to think how we, without thinking, run to an Urgent Care or the ER or a doctor for answers to things we experience — ailments or illness ourselves or with our families — and we give up control so easy and follow blindly in what they prescribe.
“Homeopathy gives us the knowledge, remedies and courage to heal ourselves and our loved ones in a gentle manner and [without] further injury to other organs in our bodies.
“I’m grateful to my client Chris, who, had she not shared Joette and homeopathy with me, I wouldn’t be the person I am today. I’m so grateful to Joette, for her generous sharing of information and teaching all of us the importance of Practical Homeopathy, and to my friend who called when I needed her. She gave me the nudge I needed to remind me I knew exactly what to do with remedies I already had.”*

Well done, Allison. We don’t disregard the aid of a good doctor, and what you accomplished could certainly have been done in tandem with conventional medical care. Had you gone for it, you could have turned the staff on to homeopathy, too!
But your homeopathic study has paid off.
This, my friends, is a beautiful example of Practical Homeopathy® at work. Not only did Allison know what to do, but she also had the benefit of an invaluable like-minded friend to help her when she was rattled.
Indeed, that’s the beauty of Gateway to Practical Homeopathy®: A Guided Study Group Curriculum. Education plus a community of support is a priceless combination. If you’ve been considering joining a Gateway group to enable you to have this kind of health care freedom, there is no better time than the present. Emergencies don’t make appointments. Be prepared.
