In Episode 116 of Strange, Rare & Peculiar, Denise Straiges and Alastair Gray recap the final Joint American Homeopathy Conference (JAHC), including Alastair’s research workshop on AI in homeopathy and Denise’s talk on autoimmune disease, chronic disease, and Hahnemann.

From there, the conversation moves into a bigger question:

What is homeopathy, really?

Is it the remedies themselves—or the medicine and principles working together?

Denise and Alastair explore why autoimmune and chronic disease challenge “kill the bug” thinking, why germ theory only takes us so far, and how a well-selected remedy may help give energy back toward life and vitality.

Strange, Rare & Peculiar is a weekly podcast with Denise Straiges and Alastair Gray of the Institute for the Advancement of Homeopathy and the Academy of Homeopathy Education.

This season, we’re focusing on truth — what it means to Aude Sapere (“dare to know”) in homeopathy today. From Hahnemann’s original insights to the realities of modern practice, research, and education, Denise and Alastair bring over 50 years of experience to conversations that challenge assumptions and invite curiosity.

🎧 If you’re ready to look deeper — beyond trends, beyond opinion — join the conversation and rediscover what homeopathy truly is.

In Episode 115 of the Strange, Rare & Peculiar podcast, Denise and Alastair begin with major updates from the Academy of Homeopathy Education (AHE) and Homeopathy Help Network (HHN)—including clinical growth, research outcomes, and new international accreditation.

They then move into a listener question from Sweden:

Can therapies like psychotherapy, acupuncture, chiropractic care, or deep tissue work interfere with homeopathic treatment?

They explore when integrative care supports healing, when it may disrupt a chronic case, and why timing and case management matter.

The episode also examines Hahnemann’s use of adjunct therapies such as mesmerism, electricity, and baths, then closes with a deep look at the origins of so-called “Hering’s Law.” Denise and Al explain why it is not truly a law, how the idea of direction of cure developed, and why complex chronic cases do not always follow simple formulas.

Denise and Alastair respond to a listener’s questions about the management of chronic homeopathic cases, with particular attention to prescribing method, follow-up, and patient autonomy.

Topics include:

• How do you know when a remedy has completed its action?

• Is it less possible to treat chronic conditions using 4th edition prescribing instead of the 6th?

• Should a homeopath tell a client what remedy they are taking?

This listener also asked about whether or not chiropractic care, massage therapy, and psychotherapy are contraindicated when working with a homeopath…we’ll cover adjunct therapies in a future episode so stay tuned!
