In this episode of the Strange Rare Peculiar podcast, Denise and Al tune in from New Zealand to talk about the rise and fall of homeopathy in Australia—and why it’s a lesson for us all. They look back at a time when Australian homeopathy was genuinely thriving: busy urban practices, families using care routinely, insurance reimbursement, and multiple schools training practitioners—and what changed it. And like Flexner, it’s not what most people think. If you care about the future of homeopathy, give this episode a listen! 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.

Homeopathy is growing —and that’s a good thing. But growth raises real questions. In episode 106 of the SRP podcast, Denise and Alastair dive into Aphorism 9 and Hahnemann’s definition of health to explore how homeopathy is being used, taught, and shared today. They reflect on the appeal of simplified approaches—protocols, shortcuts, and single-symptom-focused prescribing—and ask what happens when homeopathy is simplified for speed, scale, and market appeal. We're calling the community into a thoughtful conversation about how we carry this medicine forward without losing what makes it whole.

Melanie Hahnemann has been judged for generations — especially after Hahnemann’s death. In Episode 105, we revisit the romance, the rumors, and the real historical stakes behind her legacy — including the moment that complicates the easy labels: what Hahnemann asked of her, and what came next.

Acute cases aren’t always simple — and there’s often more to think about than you might realize. In Part 2 of this special conversation on Strange, Rare & Peculiar, Denise and Alastair explore the art of clinical decision-making in homeopathy for acute care. From case tools like LoCoMoCo (Location, Complaint, Modality, Concomitant) and CLAMS (Condition, Location, Aetiology, Modality, Sensation), to key concepts from the Organon, they break down what it really takes to prescribe well in acutes. You’ll hear: Why understanding the complete symptom is the foundation of good prescribing What makes a symptom strange, rare, and peculiar (Aphorism 153) Why Hahnemann insisted we do the work — even in “simple” acute cases Why AHE students receive intensive training in acute prescribing — and why that matters 📍New here? Start with Episode 103 (Part 1) before diving into this one. 🎧 Listen now and rethink what it really means to observe, understand, and act in acute cases. Feeling stuck in an acute situation?

This week, we’re talking about acute prescribing in homeopathy—what it is, what it isn’t, and why it’s so often misunderstood. What actually makes something acute? When should you prescribe… and when should you let the body do its job? And why don’t homeopaths just take a remedy every time they get sick? We break down how acutes relate to your chronic state, why over-prescribing can backfire, and why rest is sometimes the most “homeopathic” choice of all. If you want a clearer, smarter way to think about homeopathic acute care, this episode is your guide. Stay tuned for part 2!
