When I saw there was a film in the making, aiming to make Homeopathy a household name, I knew I needed to be involved to help bring this vision to reality.

She graduated with distinction from the College of Homeopathy, London in 1985 and describes herself as Homeopath, teacher, activist, published writer and filmmaker. For the last 40 years, Homeopathy has been her life and taken her to four continents, setting up or working on Homeopathic projects. She is thrilled to be part of the core production team working together to bring this project to the public.
In all the 40 years I have been in Homeopathy I truly believe there has never been a better time to make a film like this. The world of health and medicine has changed dramatically over the last three years, and the public are searching for options. Homeopathy has the tools and people now understand the concept of censorship and vested interests, in a way they never have before.
Micki Elia
Micki serves as coordinator for the many aspects of this project. Some people have grown to think of her as a nudge, and she channels her bossy side occasionally. The best part of the project by far has been the amazing people I’ve met. I am so privileged to be working with such a talented and inspired team, united by our shared calling to bring Homeopathy to the world!
This film will provide a message of hope to those seeking a better way to find or restore health and ease to their lives. Safe, effective and affordable are things we all want to hear. May this film inspire many, and offer solutions to those who are in need. It will be a legacy of which our community can be proud.

I was first introduced to Homeopathy as a young man in India. I’ve had a deep interest in Homeopathy for almost 50 years because I appreciate, from experience, the Homeopathic healing process. I believe that this film will give viewers an opportunity to learn more about Homeopathy, which certainly deserves to be better known and better understood.

We are reaching a critical historical moment on every level of society. Disillusionment with mainstream medicine continues to grow; there is an active search for solutions by both individuals and institutions. With this film, we have an opportunity to showcase the beauty and power of Homeopathy. I am honored to be a part of the creative team, knowing that ‘knowledge is power’, and that we have a golden opportunity to unleash a groundswell of support for Homeopathic Medicine.

By sharing Homeopathy with the world, this film creates space for a global healthcare revolution to uplift the well-being of all in harmony and without division.

Also a Certified Public Accountant and financial consultant, Christina is currently the Executive Director of the National Center for Homeopathy.
When I tell people about Homeopathy it is by way of stories – how Homeopathy helped when I tripped on a hiking trail or how a remedy helped my cat with advanced asthma avoid meds. That’s why I am excited about this movie – the ultimate way to introduce Homeopathy to the world, in a package of beautiful cinematography and healing stories. I fully expect to see this movie at the Cannes Film Festival!

This film is probably the single most important contribution that we as Homeopaths will make to the greater health, well-being and spiritual evolution of humanity. At this time in human history, when the health and well-being of people worldwide are being threatened and undermined by the multinational pharmaceutical industrial complex for outrageous profits, and by toxic, allopathic, conventional drugs and vaccines that squander life, this incredibly informative and entertaining documentary film, “Introducing Homeopathy,” about the many health-promoting, safe, cost-effective, life-affirming benefits of Homeopathic medicine is so necessary, desperately needed, and a true blessing and gift to all humankind.

Homeopathy has been the best kept health secret for 200 years. Homeopathy almost disappeared in the second half of the 20th century, during the golden years of allopathic pharmacological medicine. Now we know that one therapeutic system is not able to solve all medical health conditions. More people are discovering the therapeutic benefits of Homeopathy and its remarkable safety track record. It is time to show Homeopathy to the world.

Lynn Connolly
Why Lynn Thinks the Film is Important:
“I have directly experienced the healing benefits of using Homeopathy and am grateful for the freedom I now have. I hope that every person who struggles with ill health will understand and use Homeopathy to bring that same freedom to their life! From this film, I hope all who watch it will learn and have an understanding of Homeopathy, realize its gentle healing power, and learn what a powerful and economic medicine it truly is!”
Johnelle Donnell
Why Johnelle Thinks the Film is Important:
“After a catastrophic health event, I found myself in the hospital, too sick to question the treatment I was given, and I was advised that my lungs would never heal if I didn’t take the pharmaceutical drugs I was prescribed. After a short period of time, I was not thriving, and the treatment turned out to be worse than the injury. When I discovered the power of Homeopathy, it proved to be the lifeline I desperately needed to receive healing. I have been educating people in this God-given system of medicine ever since, and I feel compelled to share the good news about Homeopathy with as many people as will listen with an open mind.”

Lorraine Kimmel
Why Lorraine Thinks the Film is Important:
“Why would people use medicine with complications like depression, death, and everything in between when they can use safe, gentle Homeopathic medicines? Because they don’t know there’s a choice. That’s why this film is important.”
Chris McGregor
Why Chris Thinks the Film is Important:
“I wholeheartedly believe that medical freedom to choose my own path to wellness including nutrition, health provider, medicines, etc. is the best way to preserve the freedom of an individual. The documentary film being produced opens a door for people to learn and utilize a tried and true, effective, and gentle system of medicine to support best health outcomes.”
Kelly Weatherly
Why Kelly Thinks the Film is Important:
“Homeopathy is different, but different doesn’t make it bad. This film helps shine a light on just a small speck of the vast world of Homeopathy. The Homeopathy community spreads around the world and the practice of this beautiful, versatile and successful medicine meets people where they are, as individuals, not a herd. Why would we want to keep such a successful medicine secret? It needs to shine!”
