Carol Boyce joins me to share her extraordinary journey and deep commitment to the practice of homeopathy. From discovering the subject during her PhD studies to working on remarkable cases in India, Carol reflects on the moments that shaped her belief in homeopathy's ability to change lives. She also talks about her time with the Gulf Peace Team during the first Gulf War, her arrest in Amman, and her efforts to bring homeopathy into mainstream healthcare through projects like HINT. Throughout our conversation, Carol highlights the importance of community, self-care, and mentorship, leaving us with both inspiration and practical wisdom for the future of homeopathy. Episode Highlights: 04:49 - Why Homeopathy Instantly Made Sense to Me 11:19 - Work in Iraq during the Gulf War 16:55 - Overview of Carol's various projects 19:49 - Making documentaries about homeopathy 22:23 - What Is HINT and Why It Was Created 26:04 - Why Silence Isn't the Answer 33:59 - Growth of interest in homeopathy 36:28 - Project to help homeopaths avoid burnout 41:01 - How to get involved in Carol's new project 43:54 - Importance of homeopaths taking care of themselves 48:03 - What “Saving the World” Really Means in Homeopathy   About my Guests: Carol Boyce BSc, LCH, MCH, RH.Int Homeopath, teacher, filmmaker, published author. Carol was headed for academia and was in the last months of a PhD in Biological Anthropology at King's College London when she “found” homeopathy. And as they say, the rest is history. She graduated from the College of Homeopathy in 1985 and, three months later, was in India at the Bengal Allen Medical College. In 1987, she co-created the Mobile Clinic project in Kolkata, adopted by the Banerjeas and still running today. In 1991, she was in Iraq doing aid work before and after the first Gulf War, and stopped in Cairo on the way home to start what became the Egyptian Society of Homeopathy. She co-founded Homeopathy For a Change, the forerunner of Homeopaths Without Borders, and set up clinics and training programmes on four continents. In 1996, she was at film school in Los Angeles, determined to make documentaries about homeopathy, but with no digital cameras, no interest in documentaries, and nothing in common with Hollywood, she hit the pause button and joined the faculty as clinical supervisor for the American University of Complementary Medicine's Master's programme. In 2009, she and her daughter filmed homeopathy in Tanzania and went back in 2011 to collect the data for a research project about malaria. In 2010, she taught in medical schools in Cuba as Director of Homeopaths Without Borders US. There is a theme! ☺ Eventually, Carol made a series of short films about autism, her one-hour film "Homeopathy Around the World," and, most recently, was Co-Director and Producer of the full-length documentary film "Introducing Homeopathy." She co-founded HINT – Homeopathy International, an out-and-proud registering body in the UK that believes homeopathy is primary care medicine and that this is not the time to play small or run the fear factor, and has run the homeopathy group within the People's Health Alliance since its inception. She currently teaches mostly philosophy and practitioner development at the Centre for Homeopathic Education and the North West College of Homeopathy.

(Sept 04, 2025)Florida to end school vaccine mandates. The Governors of California, Oregon, and Washington announced yesterday the creation of the West Coast Health Alliance. One of the most beautiful stretches of highway 101 is falling into the ocean. Drying and water depletion brings deepening crisis around the world.

Now, the Hollywood-based company MicroCo is launching a new version of that idea. Today’s protein-obsessed culture is rediscovering cottage cheese. On social media, people are blending it into ice cream, dips, pancakes, and even pasta sauces.  Downtown LA’s iconic Mayan Theater’s current operators have run the venue since 1989. KCRW looks at the history that’s showcased everything from Gershwin, to porn, to Mexican wrestling.

The Mary Robinson Centre and University of Galway, along with partner Mayo County Council, will host the third Mary Robinson Climate and Nature Conference. The conference will bring together climate justice advocates, scientists, activists, community groups and policymakers to address local, national and global challenges and opportunities in relation to climate justice and nature conservation. Centering on the theme "Courage in Crisis", the annual conference will take place in Ballina, Co Mayo, on May 26th and 27th where the former president grew up, and where the new Mary Robinson Centre is located. Mary Robinson Centre and University of Galway host 2025 climate and nature conference Mary Robinson said: "The Mary Robinson Nature and Climate Conference will centre on a call to courage in the face of the climate and nature crisis, a crisis that touches every part of our shared world. In these urgent times, it is through meitheal, the Irish tradition of coming together in collective effort, that we find strength, purpose and hope. Only by standing together can we meet this moment with the boldness it demands. I'm looking forward to being in community in my hometown of Ballina, imagining together what each of us can do to build a better future." Along with Mary Robinson, the conference will feature a distinguished lineup of Irish and international speakers including: Dr Aoibhinn Ní Shúilleabháin, DCU; Anja Murray, ecologist, policy analyst, broadcaster and author; Dearbhla Richardson, youth climate justice activist; Dr Elaine McGoff, An Taisce; Dr Gerard McCarthy, physical oceanographer and climate scientist; Professor Hannah Daly, UCC; Professor John Barry, Queens University Belfast; Professor Navjot Bhullar, University of Canberra, Australia; Tom Arnold, Ireland Africa Rural Development Committee; Dr Omnia El Omrani, Global Climate and Health Alliance; and Laura Cook, Project Dandelion. The conference will feature a diverse range of workshops, panel discussions, walks, music and art, and aims to create space for people to connect, share ideas, and collaborate, with several of the conference events open to the public. Dr Caitríona Carlin, School of Natural Sciences and Ryan Institute at University of Galway and conference co-chair, said: "It was uplifting to hear Mary Robinson recognise the interconnections between climate and biodiversity, when she changed the name of the conference to climate and nature in 2024. This is the first year that the conference formally addresses climate and nature and we are grateful to the funders and sponsors who have supported us. The conference enables us to acknowledge that actions for climate, for nature are also for us. We are part of the environment, and in finding common ground, we can make space for courageous conversations and actions to meet the multiple challenges ahead." Dr Sinéad Sheehan, School of Psychology and Ryan Institute, University of Galway and conference co-chair, said: "This year, while we are bringing the conference to Ballina, we also want to bring Ballina to the conference! There's a great programme of events planned around the conference, including an art exhibition at the Mary Robinson Centre, a 'Connecting With Trees' walk in Belleek Woods on Sunday, and an eco-gathering on Tuesday featuring groups working on climate and nature. We're also looking forward to a special 'Oíche Cultúr agus Craic' on Monday night with music, poetry and storytelling - it should be a brilliant few days for Ballina and the wider community." Dr Alma Clavin, Lecturer in Sustainability at University of Galway and conference co-chair, said: "This conference creates a necessary courageous space for those activated in climate and nature work to connect with each other and new ideas. The conference is taking place in a county that has a fantastic network of community-led climate and sustainability initiatives and a distinctive biodiversity-rich landscape. We're delighted to host this important ...

In this special 4 part series, we’ll be highlighting The Coalition to Advance Public Safety (CAPS), a coalition of organizations working to intercept and prevent violence in communities across the U.S. The coalition’s work builds on years of knowledge of public health, gun violence prevention and the particular needs of different locales, as well as the lived experience of community members on the ground. With these tools, CAPS creates and maintains community violence intervention (CVI) ecosystems around the country.
