In Episode 117 of Strange, Rare, and Peculiar, Denise Straiges and Alastair Gray answer listener questions about what happens when homeopathic principles meet real-life complexity.

They take on polypharmacy in emergency situations, veterinary homeopathy with traumatized rescue dogs, and the harder question many people quietly carry: What if I’ve tried homeopathy—and nothing changed?

Get your Organon out for this one. Denise and Alastair discuss Aphorisms 148 and 260, exploring what Hahnemann had to say about the labor of true homeopathic practice, obstacles to cure, and why homeopathy asks for more than shortcuts.

In this episode:

• When, if ever, more than one remedy makes sense
• Homeopathy for animals in acute stress
• Why “nothing happened” may not always mean nothing happened
• Obstacles to cure and case management
• Hahnemann, roasted pigeons, and the work homeopathy requires

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.
