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

Introduction: A Skeptical Nurse Becomes a Confident Homeopath

Kate: (00:59)

Hello everyone and welcome back to the Practical Homeopathy® Podcast. I’m Kate, and I’m so glad that you’re here with us today.

I can’t wait to introduce you to our special guest. If you’ve ever felt stuck between conventional medicine and natural options or if you’ve wondered whether homeopathy could really work for serious everyday family health challenges, today’s episode is going to speak straight to your heart.

Joining us today is Erin. She’s a registered nurse with decades of experience. She’s also a mom, a breast cancer survivor, and now a successful homeopath.

Erin went from being deeply skeptical of the little white sugar pills to using Practical Homeopathy® confidently for everything from insomnia and vertigo to abscesses, injuries and chronic conditions in her family.

So, Erin, I want to welcome you to the podcast. It’s so great to have you here, finally. We’ve been waiting for the listeners to hear your story.

Erin:

Thank you, Kate. I am so happy to be here.

Why look for alternatives to conventional medicine?

Kate: (02:03)

Oh, I’m happy you’re here.

So, let’s start at the beginning. You are a registered nurse — have been for many years — and you followed the conventional medicine paradigm with your family. What finally made you start looking for alternatives?

Erin:

It actually started with our oldest child, when he entered kindergarten. After about two weeks, the school called us and told us that he needed to be medicated because he couldn’t sit still, and he was too disruptive.

My husband and I weren’t willing to jump to medication as a first step. That led us down the common path many people take. We tried herbalism, essential oils, naturopathy, functional medicine, but everything felt so complicated and time-consuming or just managing symptoms without really giving any lasting improvement.

We stayed in those approaches for a while simply because we didn’t know there was anything better.

Kate:

Right. And then you faced a health crisis. Tell us about what that was and what happened afterward that led you to homeopathy, if you wouldn’t mind sharing.

Erin:

Oh, sure. So again, I was completely in the Western medicine paradigm with my routine checkups. And I went to just a regularly scheduled appointment, and they found something that led to more tests. Eventually I ended up with a diagnosis of breast cancer.

Again, I followed every recommendation they had. I did the surgery and the treatments — the whole protocol. But when it was over, I was left with all the side effects
