In this episode of the Strange Rare Peculiar homeopathy podcast, we talk about one of the fastest growing health challenges of our time: autoimmune disease. Unfortunately, most of the focus is on symptom suppression or palliation—without asking the deeper question: why is the body reacting this way in the first place?We explore how homeopathy approaches autoimmunity differently—and why Samuel Hahnemann was already grappling with these questions long before the term autoimmune disease existed.Whether you’re new to homeopathy, living with an autoimmune condition, or considering formal study, this episode invites you to slow down, think critically, and reconsider what true healing asks of both practitioner and client.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.

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.Here’s the link for the culmination of Aphorism Friday, a weekly special production of 1M a Homeopath's Podcast by Kelly Callahan we referenced. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/1m-podcast-presents-the-organon/id1635602485Where homeopathy lives and breathes.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.
