In this week’s episode, we dive into antidotes like coffee and mint, aphorism 260, food as medicine, obstacles to cure, and Hahnemann: the inventor of telemedicine!

In this week’s episode, we dive into whether or not homeopathy is all about similars, potentization vs. dynamization, how Hahnemann developed his system of potency, LMs, and more!


Welcome to Strange Rare Peculiar, a weekly podcast with Denise Straiges and Alastair Gray discussing everything you REALLY need to know about homeopathy.
We’ll look at philosophy, practice, research, and education–all with a little bit of history. If you want to know why we still can’t get enough homeopathy after a combined 50+ years of study and practice, we invite you to join the conversation!

Why do we emphasize academic writing at AHE? What does writing have to do with being a homeopath, anyway? Writing improves critical thinking! It forces us to think through complex and nuanced concepts and arguments.

Alastair Gray, PhD shares his favorite screen, microphone, webcam, ring light, and tablet for virtual school and meetings.

If you are just getting started in homeopathy school at AHE or another virtual program, this post is for you! Every year we receive questions about AHE President and Clinical Director, Denise Straiges’ must-have office supplies, technology, software, drinks, and snacks. She’s a whiz in the kitchen, but she’s also a whiz when it comes to finding the best tools to get the job done. Because we are in a virtual learning environment here at AHE, we have unique needs when it comes to technology and we know you want all the details.
This post will focus on Denise’s favorite note taking software and must have items for class and case taking!

It’s no secret that we LOVE books here at AHE. People always ask what our favorites are and it’s time to spill the beans. We thought we’d start at the very beginning to help our friends who are just getting started with homeopathy. These are the top five books we recommend for beginners. We are thrilled you’ve decided to embark on this journey of discovery and are here to support you along the way. There are MANY more books we love, so check back for more recommendations as you build your homeopathy book library!
