One Wednesday morning while cleaning, I experienced a very fast, thumping heart beat. It was quite scary!

After speaking to Joette, we decided it was a result of eating too much chocolate on Sunday and Monday. Since I am not accustomed to caffeine in that quantity, my heart was freaking out.

Within minutes of taking one dose of Nux vomica 30, my heart returned to its normal beat. If Joette had not been available, I probably would have ended up in the emergency room being put through many expensive and unnecessary tests along with prescription drugs.

My family has used no prescription or over the counter drugs for the past 5 years, thanks to Joette's classes and consults.

I've seen many people benefit from working with Joette Calabrese, including me and many of my patients.

When my beloved aunt was in her mid 80's, and her lifelong robust health began to slip, I called Joette. She reminded me of what she had taught us in class years before. And upon using the homeopathic techniques, my aunt's vitality returned within a few days or so.

A few years later, my aunt became nervous and fretful (most atypical of her). I realized that her mind was slipping and she couldn't grasp what was going on around her.

Another discussion with Joette and another miracle. This time I gave her Baryta carb. Within a short time of taking it, my aunt was her normal, poised self. Her mind was fine. Even though her body did eventually wear out, she remained alert and oriented.

Based on Joette's recommendations, my family has changed many of our eating habits in addition to using remedies throughout the course of the year and we are healthier because of it. My husband and I had to recently tabulate our medical expenditures for the past year and the previous year.

I noticed that we were in the doctor's office A LOT in 2006 and hardly at all in 2007. Next year, I expect a greater decline in medical and pharmacy bills.

A higher cost in the beginning has paid off throughout the year. The change in our health in one year was awesome. Our hope has turned to commitment to this life style.

Joette committed to teaching me how to help my son, Cameron. She was determined to help us get to the bottom of it. and although it took some time, her amazing love and devotion to our problem panned out. She believed from the very beginning that we could do it and we did!

Today he is free of medical problems because of Joette's devotion to homeopathy and to our family. She is a true blessing. God Bless Joette and homeopathy.

The body aches I was experiencing yesterday and today were so intense that it was hard to find a comfortable position. Not even sitting in the hot tub relieved the tremendous aches. I dissolved a capful of the homeopathic remedy in pure water and took a small sip.

I was so sick I could barely keep my head up and went to bed. When I woke up about an hour late, the pains in my low back and hip were 85% gone! Even though I am a true believer in homeopathic remedies, I was truly amazed. So I took another sip of the remedy. Although I still have some residual pain, the pain has subsided about 90% since I started the remedy, two sips ago!
Joette always hits it right on the nose!

I have to share this: My daughter began to not feel well with a fever and extreme tiredness. She went to lie down and looked real pale and threw up. I gave her Nux vomica, but there was no change. Joette's newsletter with info on Gelsemium had just come. I read it and the symptoms matched, so I gave Gelsemium to her. In 10 – 15 minutes, she sat with us eating, laughing and playing. Her eyes were brighter, she was up and around and her face had color. This is incredible!

We are all healthy, especially Rowan, who is no longer getting sick every month like she was last winter. Pulsatilla works!…….. And I wouldn't be where I am today with my health if I hadn't been able to talk with Joette time and again. Joette is always generous with sharing her knowledge because she wants others to have it too.

My 12 year old son accidentally slammed his 6 year old brother's hand with a car door. After determining that nothing was broken, my only mainstream choice of medicine would have been Motrin. Instead, I gave him Hypericum. Within ten minutes, he was asking for food. Within an hour, he was back to his old self and playing.

Joette's comforting word and wisdom helped me through a very difficult time. I wouldn't have made it through a frightening infection without her.

Joette's homeopathic care is the sole reason my kidney stones are no longer a problem. The first bout landed me in the hospital doubled over in excruciating pain. They gave me very strong IV medication that knocked me out.

Once I woke up, I was told there was nothing they could do and I would have to strain and “pass” the stone. Painstakingly, I did what I was told and finally passed a small black speck that was smaller than a sesame seed. About a year later, I felt another one coming one.

This time I recognized the symptoms in advance, before I landed in the ER. My wife called Joette and she instituted a program combining nutrition with homeopathic remedies. Miraculously, the stone dissolved and I was symptom free in less than two days. That was about six years ago. Since then I have not had to face the agonizing pain or the grueling trip to the emergency room again and have been symptom free every since.

Alli was more sick than I had ever seen her. She had a high fever and was listless and weak. I had tried several remedies and was getting confused and worried.

This was when I called Joette. We carefully walked through Alli's symptoms and I decided to give her Nux vomica due to the fact that the holidays had just passed and I thought her condition could have been brought on by the excitement and over indulgence the season usually brings.

The Nux vomica relieved Alli's tummy ache and her vomiting ceased, but it didn't change her overall state. It was the third day of Alli's being sick and I remembered a comment Joette had made in our conversation the night before, “Gelsemium often follows Nux vomica”.

When Alli didn't respond further to the Nux, I quickly started with Gelsemium. With one dose, the headache was gone, two and more sleep and the fever came down. By the next day, Alli was once again her old self. We had found the right remedy and just like that, the sickness was gone and this time it didn't come back.

Sebastian was colicky when he was born and had a lot of difficulty with my breast milk AND was a very frequent waker/poor sleeper. I took him to Joette when he was 10 months old and with the first remedy, he went from his usual sleep, to only waking 1 -2 times per night MAXIMUM. This happened within a week.

After about a month, I switched to another remedy and he started sleeping 10 -12 hours a night without waking, in his own crib, and hasn't been a night waker since.

He started soothing himself to sleep and for naps when he was 13 months old (without crying), and now since 16 months old he ASKS to go to sleep. When he wakes in the morning, he'll also play and talk by himself for up to 90 minutes or so. Mornings are very pleasant now.

See why I feel so strongly about homeopathy? Some of the same remedies we used for sleep we also use for teething. He still doesn't wake at night and really has only minimum fussiness with the teething now. Joette is fantastic. She has helped me enormously with postpartum depression, digestive issues, back pain, pregnancy issues and learning how to do more self-diagnosis for common ailments (like colds, sinus stuff etc.)
