Imagine yourself sitting at one of these tables? Eating amazing food, drinking delicious wine, chatting with interesting people….
India was amazing. We came home with hours and hours of footage. I am now ready to begin to edit Just One Drop.
However, we need to raise lots ore funds to do this. So I got an idea…
One of my great passions is cooking. My good friend Dan, who has donated to this film numerous times and has been the recipient for many of my dinners offered to sponsor a fundraising dinner party at his home near the New Jersy shore.
I create the menu, he buys all the food, and invite the guests and I cook! !
I mentioned this dinner to a friend today, and she offered to host a dinner party on her houseboat in RI, and project clips of the film on a sail at night!
Since you are one of the supporters of this film, you are a perfect person to host such an event.
You host, buy the food, invite your friends. I create a multiple course gourmet dinner. Or a brunch, or wine and cheese, afternoon tea — endless possibilities — and have a brief presentation of the film.
I am willing to travel to any location I can get to by car — New York, Boston, Maine, NH, Marthas Vineyard, Washington DC, CT, Baltimore, etc. This will be fun!
Please let me know if you would like to host one of these events. We are putting the schedule together now for the summer and maybe fall. I promise you it will be a dinner you will never forget!
If you live too far away, you can also host the dinner on your own.
Or you can just make another tax deductible donation. All donations over $500 will be mentioned in the films credits.
Together we will get this money raised, finish this film, and get the word out about homeopathy!
Over the course of almost five years, we have filmed in new York, Los Angeles, Washington DC, England, and Haiti!
After our recent shoot in Los Angeles where we interviewed many wonderful homeopaths including Dr. Rajan Sankaran, we decided we now should go to India. We want to show Americans how homeopathy is successfully used around the world and what better place than India!
We are all volunteering our time because we all believe that this documentary Just One Drop is going to help a lot of people.
Please consider a tax-deductible donation of any amount– all contributions will go directly to covering our travel expenses.
We have set up another “registry” to show all the line items we need for this two week shoot.
Please visit our registry . As always, all donations are tax deductible and all donations over $500 will be listed in the film credits.

Donate the price of a cup of coffee to help us finish this film! (we promise we won’t let it antidote!)
Everyone volunteered their time for this shoot and I created a registry, that has all the various out of pocket costs for the trip. You can give a DONATION for any of the items.
AMCH also showed a short promo reel I created for them, that showed at the dinner on Saturday night.

We have an important mission and opportunity with this film; to explore the history, mystery, controversy and promise of homeopathy for the 21st century.
It is crucial to get this documentary made and get this information out into the world. Lives are at stake. Daily, we witness the cycle of human suffering from hopelessness and depression to disease and despair. Homeopathy provides a break in this cycle and offers a ray of hope.
Please consider making a tax deductible donation.

FILM SYNOPSIS
In Haiti, Ricot lives in a “tent city”. In another part of town a residential school for the handicapped collapsed after the earthquake. The surviving children and staff live in temporary shelters. No one is receiving proper medical care.
In Cuba, people get sick from an infectious disease every hurricane season. Vaccines have little success.
In Queens, NY, Nancy has one dream in life—to become a mother. She and her husband Evan finally get pregnant and give birth to a healthy son, Lucas. At age two, Lucas is diagnosed with autism.
In New York City, Marc develops a small infection that refuses to go away. It is MRSA, an antibiotic-resistant and potentially lethal infection.
All of these people, while seeking a cure, have found a path that leads them to homeopathy. We focus on the most pervasive modern disorders in the United States: autism, addiction, depression, Parkinson’s, MRSA, and more. In developing countries, we tackle epidemics, and other acute and chronic illnesses. The characters’ struggles and triumphs illustrate the concepts of this medical system — its philosophy, science, controversy, and rich and unknown history. The film also includes a portrait of the founder of homeopathy, Dr. Samuel Hahnemann. It challenges conventional medical notions of what is and isn’t possible.
We want this film to reach millions — to broadcast on national and international television, community screenings, and distribute it to educational institutions including medical schools, nursing schools, etc. Our goal of this film is to change the world of medicine and make homeopathy known worldwide.
]]>We have been researching and filming for this film for almost two years, and are now ready to go on the road and shoot this film full time! We have most of our stories, we are ready to go! If we had the money in our hands, we could shoot the entire film in about six months. Are you ready to let the world know about the wonders of homeopathy?
We have applied for numerous grants but will not hear back for a while. But we are ready to start shooting now! Alas….

Eileen Torpey, a co-producer for this film, is headed down to Haiti in 10 days. She is going to hand deliver the computer to Ricot, and train him on it, as well as get an update on what he is doing, and the St Vincents School for the Handicapped (see the deaf camp footage on this site)
More soon. Stand by…
