What does Valentine’s Day have to do with autoimmunity?
In this episode, Denise and Alastair begin with stories of love in homeopathy — from Hahnemann’s marriages to the many professional partnerships that have shaped the field — and move into a deeper discussion about chronic disease and clinical responsibility.
Using autoimmune cases as a lens, they explore:
What it means to “know what needs to be cured”
Why not every remedy acts on the same depth
The difference between acute intervention and long-term chronic management
When to prescribe — and when doing nothing is the right decision
The risks of superficial training and casual prescribing
They also reflect on the evolution of homeopathic education, accreditation, and why serious clinical training matters.
At its heart, this episode is about loving homeopathy enough to practice it safely.
