Joette turned her back on conventional medicine over 35 years ago, became a highly respected homeopath, has met with and taught tens of thousands of people in her practice and teaching career, and most importantly, raised her now adult children without a single visit to a doctor, relying on homeopathy and sound nutrition instead.

She empowers people with the ability to cure themselves and their families using her Practical Homeopathy® methods and some guts, spunk and moxie.

William Walsh, Ph.D, is president of the non-profit Walsh Research Institute near Chicago, and directs doctor training programs in the U.S., Australia, and Norway. During his 30+ years as a research scientist and engineer, Dr. Walsh developed a science-based nutrient system that has helped thousands of patients challenged by behavioral disorders, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, ADHD, autism, and Alzheimer’s disease, and is used by doctors throughout the world. Dr. Walsh has researched biomedical details for individuals previously considered as untreatable: from personality disorders to others insufficiently treatable with modern psychopharmacology. Dr. Walsh’s approach recognizes that nutrient imbalances can alter brain levels of key neurotransmitters, disrupt gene expression of proteins and enzymes, and cripple the body’s protection against environmental toxins. His book, Nutrient Power (Skyhorse Publishing, 2012), describes his findings and the advanced nutrient therapies which correct biochemical and methylation imbalances that are causing learning, behavioral, developmental and mental health issues.
