SPEAKER_00 0:00

A warm welcome to Murning with Caroline. My name is Caroline Walred, and you are in for a wonderful guest and a wonderful time today with Elena Upton. Dr. Elena Upton's been in practice for 30 years, and she is an incredible homeopath. I've known her, I've known Elena for almost four decades. And when back then we talked about health and healing in our kitchens, and we read books and shared them because we certainly wanted to keep our kids away from the doctor, and we did everything we could. But then we discovered homeopathic medicine and we finished our PhDs together in homeopathy, and we followed each other's journeys throughout the years. Now she recently introduced me to Zen Rx. And you know, I used it with my family, I used it with my grandkids and my cat, and it was so accurate. I have to share it. Now I have a question for you. Have you ever wondered why the wait is so long in a doctor's office? I mean, why do you have an appointment at 2:30 and you still can't get in till 4? Sometimes you have a headache so powerful or so a digestive issue with your children, and it requires such a long wait, sometimes even for an appointment. So is there an easier way to get professional information on how to take care of your family and yourself? Elena's passion has always been to find safer ways by personalizing responses to health. She found the perfect answer for health recovery in your home and travels. And with Zen RX, you don't have to know homeopathy and you don't have to know natural medicine. The library is so extensive. And I want her to share that with you. So let's meet Dr. Upton. Hi, Elena.

SPEAKER_01 1:57

Hi, Caroline. Thank you so much for having me. It's such a delight to talk with you.

SPEAKER_00 2:03

Well, the feeling is very mutual. Talk to us about what you've done. I mean, what what is it that makes it so special?

SPEAKER_01 2:12

Let's go back. I'll tell you a quick story. I was on a flight across country, and there was a guy sitting next to me playing with his phone the whole time. And then he turned to me and he said, Have you ever heard of Chat GPT? And I said, No, this is over three years ago. Never heard of it. And he went into this whole diatribe of how fantastic that was that was all this information online and you could just ask questions and you come up with any and I was blown away by it. So I went home and I looked up ChatGPT. And I thought, wow, that's really amazing what this is. But then I asked ChatGPT a question. I said, Can you tell me what homeopathic medicine is? And the response I got was, homeopathic medicine is pseudoscience. And I thought, oh, okay, that's the end of Chat GPT for me. Because after being a homeopath for over 30 years, as Caroline mentioned, it is certainly not pseudoscience. And it is much older than what we think of as conventional medicine now, and certainly much safer and much less expensive. So I thought, I'm going to create my own online app. Who needs ChatGPT giving people incorrect information? So my idea was that I would create Xen RX, and what it has done is it's created, it's homeopathy reimagined, is what it is. So can AI make 200 plus years of homeopathic knowledge accessible to everyone? Yes, of course it can. It can certainly run through all those repertories and materia medical books that are sitting on my shelf. It can do it in seconds and much more accurately than I can. What if every mom could have a homeopathic reference library and an AI assistant right in their pocket 24-7? That's what Zen Rx is. What happens when 200 years of homeopathic knowledge is readily available to you all the time? It means you can take control of your life. So could a homeopathic AI app help parents become better observers of their children's symptoms? And it gives you a whole different view of what illness is and what health is when you learn how to observe yourself and those around you in a different way. And that's what homeopathic medicine teaches you. So my vision was to have AI-powered access to professional natural medicine for everyone, for all personal consumers, so that you don't have to go to a homeopath. You don't have to sit in a waiting room for a doctor. And I'm talking about for first aid in common conditions, because we all have common sense, so we know if you're in a car accident, you need to go to the emergency room. We know if something serious happens, you need to go to an emergency room. That's not what Zen Rx is. Zen Rx is your child has a fever in the middle of the night. I have a homeopathic kit here. Oh my God, I have no idea which remedy it would be. Can you start looking through books at 2 a.m. for which fever remedy it is? No, of course not. You're on a trip, you have you have food poisoning. What are you going to do? If you're in a foreign country or if you're out camping somewhere, if you have your little kit with you, will you even know what remedy to take? No, of course. But if you have an app in your phone and you can just type in your symptoms, in seconds you'll know what the remedy is. So this is NRX. It's homeopathy at your fingertips with Sammy, which is your personal intelligent personal guide.

SPEAKER_00 5:45

So can I ask you a question? What what does what is what does the app look like?

SPEAKER_01 5:53

So when you open the app on your phone, you mean to find it in the app store, or you mean when you open it up?

SPEAKER_00 5:59

Well, we we can start finding it in the app store, but I really would like to take it through who Sammy is and what it would be like if you have a cough or something and what happens.

SPEAKER_01 6:10

So the first thing that happens when you download the app, and it is on the Apple Store in the Google store, is that, but we're going to give you also another way that you can go and download it directly from our website where you'll get some extra perks with that. So when you download the app, and now it's you're looking at it on your phone and you open it up, the first time you open it, you have to fill out, just like when you go to a new doctor, you have to fill out an intake form, takes about five minutes. You just click and slide and click inside and you check the boxes, and so that Sammy has an idea of who you are and what your history is, and then he can help you with much more accurate remedies, just like if you were sitting in front of your own homeopath. It's the same questions we would ask a patient on the first visit. So that's the first thing that happens, and it only takes about five minutes. And then Sammy comes up and he says, How can I help you? And you can either speak or type in your symptoms. And Sammy will come back within seconds and give you a suggestion for a remedy, but he'll also 99% of the time come back with questions, and he'll want to validate some of those symptoms, or he'll want a little bit more information, and it's very interactive in that way, so that you'll then respond to those questions, and he'll either come back and say the first remedy he suggested was correct, or wait a minute, there's another remedy that's more specific for these extra information that you just gave me, and there it is. The remedy will pop up, and hopefully, you'll have a homeopathic kit at home, which we will have on our shop shop shortly. They're not there yet, but they're coming. Or you can get remedies at any health food store or even on Amazon. But anyway, just to so that you have a better understanding of how this is actually built, Zen RX is a private library. Usually most of the apps that you go on, they're all connected to the internet, to Chat GPT. This is not. This is a privately curated library. It's most of my books by the masters that are written over 200 years ago with all the best information that's been curated for you. So when Sammy goes and does a search, he's not going to the internet to look up your particular issue. He's going within, deep within the homeopathic books that have been chosen in this library. So this is homeopathy at your fingertips.

SPEAKER_00 8:40

Sammy, he's so cute. I mean, you see him. So much fun that even kids love.

SPEAKER_01 8:45

I suppose I mentioned that Sammy is named after Samuel Hahneman, who developed homeopathic medicine in the late 1700s. And he our little caricature actually looks like Samuel Hahneman. We sent his picture to an artist, and he was curated to look like the original Samuel Hahneman. So I wanted to represent him since he is the one who brought all this medicine to us. The problem was that healthcare is expensive, it's complex, it's inaccessible for many, and that's whether it's conventional medicine or holistic medicine. And natural medicine knowledge is also fragmented and it's difficult to use, and it requires years of expertise, which is a roadblock to everyday use. So instead, people want and need natural solutions, but they can't access them easily or inexpensively. So that's why I developed Zen Rx. This is the solution to these problems that we've been experiencing in modern times. This is why you now have your own personal assistant that's AI-driven or symptom analysis, as I mentioned. You get these instant remedy recommendations and it's built from a private library, so you know that the source of the information is sound.

SPEAKER_00 10:04

And that's very accurate. That's what was so much fun for me. And how he used to call how he comes back and he asks you more questions to be even more clear. So that is my remedy. It's not just a generalized remedy, it's my remedy for my headache. And when you match that, it's so it the remedy makes it a very instant match, a frequency to a frequency. It's amazing.

SPEAKER_01 10:28

So let me talk about how you gain access and what the cost is. So you know any AI bot, there's a cost involved in that because every time you tap into an AI bot, and it's it's pennies, but those pennies add up. So every time you use it, there's a cost to it. So we've been able to put it together in a way that anyone could afford. So we create, we developed a private membership situation. So it's private subscriptions, and that also keeps us out of the eye of Big Brother because now we're a private club. For an individual, it's $99 for a year, which is less than the cost of one visit to any kind of a doctor. And it's $199 for a family of five for your immediate family members. So it could be a husband and wife and three children. Again, for only $199, you're covering your entire family for a whole year, and then it renews at the end of the year. And now recently we've just finished the Animal Act. We haven't launched it yet. Animal membership is $89 a year. However, if you already have one of the other memberships, if you're an existing member, you receive double the amount of Zen Rx user credits, and you can either use those credits online for all your questions, or you can redeem them in our Zen Rx shop, which will be coming soon. And we'll have other, there are others coming in the future also. We're working in an agro homeopathy for home and garden. A lot of people may not know you can use homeopathic remedies in your garden. You don't need to have pesticides or chemical fertilizers. And there'll also be a pro version for practitioners.

SPEAKER_00 12:17

Well, you really you really have done an incredible service, but it's just not for homeopaths. I mean, the bridge is the fact that you're offering this to the general public, right? And they don't have to know anything except understand the symptoms and how to express them. But the more you use it, the more what symptoms are because Sammy helps you learn that. I mean he he shows you what a symptom is.

SPEAKER_01 12:55

Your kids can bring it on a trip. You know, so you can put it in your purse if you have a fairly good sized purse. It's just so easy to use and to carry with you. And then we'll have a 50 remedy home kit, and there'll be a 100 remedy home kit. And pretty much all the remedies that you need for basic first aid and common conditions are in those kits. So you have your home pharmacy, and that combined with your app in your phone, you're good to go. And it covers so many areas where anything from a bee sting that's swelling up out of control, or a sprained ankle, or a cut that won't stop bleeding, or any of these issues that come up. You'll have everything you need right there between the kit and the app, you're good to go. I wanted to mention before I let you go that I think you might be interested in. First of all, Zen RX has an extensive library. Most of the library is for members only, but there's actually another whole aspect of the library that anyone can go to zen-rx.com and access. So if you want to learn more about homeopathy, if you'd like to learn more specifically how to dispense remedies, if you wanted to look up a cold remedy, pain, fever, eczema, there are many, many articles, and I try to make them as brief and concise as possible. And I'm adding new articles all the time. But the other thing that I wanted to mention about having this app in your life is that you become a member of a community. We have a private chat group for members only that you can contribute to. You can just read, you can ask questions. I drop in and I answer questions within that chat group. We also have private Zoom meetings twice monthly, so you can ask questions there and communicate with each other. So you really don't feel like you're out there by yourself just because you have an app on your phone and you have some remedies at home, but you actually do belong to a community and you can tap into that community whenever you need to. You know, I guess the question is why now? And for me, the reason I created this is because now AI is becoming a tipping point in our society, and it was an amazing opportunity to take thousands of pages of knowledge of over 200 years and be able to put them all into a giant brain that you can access within seconds. And also, we have a growing consumer distrust of conventional systems. So this puts more of your control of your health in your own hands. It's also that preventative health trend accelerating because it has become more difficult for conventional medicine to hide the results of natural medicine and holistic health. Of course, no known side effects. So I find that more people are actually looking to the other side of the fence. So it was a good time to put this information out there to everyone. I really want to thank you, Caroline, for extending me this invitation and for putting this information out there to your listeners.

SPEAKER_00 16:07

You are so welcome. It's been more than my pleasure because I really think it's supposed to be in people's hands.

SPEAKER_01 16:13

Caroline, I'm going to be giving you a link that is your own private link for your listeners. And when they go on the website and they use that link when they're in their shopping cart, they will get 10% off for the download of either one of the apps, whether it's the human app and just the individual or the family. And then very soon we'll have the animal app that will be up and ready for them. Hopefully you will all be able to take advantage of that.

SPEAKER_00 16:40

Thank you. That's great. 10% is is very welcome. Thank you, Elena, so much for your time and for your expertise and for what you've done. This is going to make homeopathy a household world because it works. And now you found a way to make it easy. Thank you.

SPEAKER_01 16:58

You're welcome. It was my pleasure because that is my point in all of this is bringing homeopathy so to the public so that everyone has their hands and has access to it. Well, have a great day. Thank you. We'll talk soon. Okay. Bye, Caroline. Bye, Elena.
