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.
