This is the medicine you’ve been searching for — my unique brand of homeopathy, PRACTICAL Homeopathy®.

Introduction: “How to Raise a Healthy Child in Spite of Your Doctor”

Kate: (01:00)

Hi, this is Kate and Joette here today. Hi, Joette.

Joette:

Hi Kate.

Kate:

Hi. It’s always great to be with you. And when we were talking just a minute ago about the topic that you’re going to cover in today’s podcast, I was kind of giggling to myself because every time we meet, you have so many ideas and topics that you want to share with everyone. And so, it’s just great. We’re overflowing with information to share!

Joette:

Oh, it never ends because this topic of taking control of your family’s health — yourself — and homeopathy and even foods and meals and philosophy about family, as never ending. Those are some pretty heavy-duty topics that we could go on for decades with. Yeah.

Kate:

Yeah. But also, you are a very avid reader. You continually go through books and have new ideas.

So, you have one of those here. But it’s not necessarily new, is it, Joette?

Dr. Robert Mendelsohn

Joette: (01:51)

No, it’s not. It’s actually an old book, but it’s one of my favorites, and I encourage everyone to own this book. The last printing … last copyright was in 1984. And so, the title of the book is “How to Raise a Healthy Child in Spite of Your Doctor.”

Now, this was authored by Dr. Robert Mendelsohn, who was a pediatrician. And I actually remember when he was on television back in the eighties — the early eighties, before I even had my children. I remember him going on Phil Donahue and some other programs like that, those talk shows. Yes, he was on talk shows.

So, if you look him up, if you go to YouTube, you’ll find him. You’ll find snippets of him — maybe the entire … Actually, I think one of the entire interviews of him is still up there with Phil Donahue. And he did more than one.

He was celebrated partly because of this book and because he was questioning the status quo. And you know how we feel about questioning the status quo.

Kate:

Now, for those people who have done Gateway to Practical Homeopathy® I, you’re familiar already with this book. You might have read it. That’s part of the curriculum, at least a section of the book. So …

Joette:

Yeah, so this book, “How to Raise a Healthy Child… in Spite of Your Doctor” is on Amazon, and I’ve bought it for as little as $2, and then it goes up, and then it goes since $8.

And I must have, I don’t know, five copies? I’ve given them to my daughter-in-law, and I have a copy in the car and one in the office because this man was an eloquent writer … and prolific, also. He’s written some other great books, too.
