This episode will feature a conversation with Jill on her remarkable and significant body of work, the mega potencies, which homeopaths and their patients may all use to their advantage going forward.

Jill Turland studied homeopathy in Sydney under Alan Jones. In practice since 1979, she is one of Australia’s most experienced practitioners. In 1984, she initiated the illustrious academic journal, ‘Similia’, which she edited for four years. Research into common trauma remedies started in 1991 when she began to refine her understanding of the psychology of injuries and the corresponding benefits of injury remedies in resolving our major epidemic of chronic diseases. Jill has been associated for many years with osteopaths and chiropractors and has been working since 1990 with Bryan Barrass, an osteopathic chiropractor with a great interest in homeopathy. Together, they have researched the homeopathic remedies applicable to muscular and skeletal patterns and the emotional origins of these patterns. This is the main thrust of the clinical, qualitative research - the use of very high-potency homeopathic remedies for the resolution of guilt, grief, and fears and their subsequent physical illnesses. Combining psychoneuroimmunology and quantum mechanics with chiropractic and osteopathic wisdom, Jill has been able to expand her understanding of how homeopathic remedies work, placing homeopathy on a sound scientific footing. Through this knowledge, many complex chronic physical problems are being resolved, and the understanding of the mental aspects of common homeopathic remedies is being expanded beyond previous boundaries - to date, Aconite, Arnica, China, Conium, Gelsemium, Hydrastis, Hypericum, Ignatia, Ledum, Natrum muriaticum, Ruta graveolens, Staphisagria, and Symphytum. These remedies and the story of their amazing new uses are written up in detail in ‘Getting Back On Track Using Megapotency Homeopathy.". Jill and Bryan have now retired and enjoy living in a small country town in NSW.
