In Episode 118 of Strange, Rare & Peculiar, Denise Straiges and Alastair Gray begin with a question from the AHE teaching clinic, which opens into a discussion of Hahnemann’s evolving understanding of chronic disease, the “1816 problem,” and why relapsing chronic conditions required him to ask deeper questions about disease, miasms, and cure.

In this episode:

  • Why medical language still matters in homeopathy
  • Disease names, homeopathic diagnosis, and individualization
  • The “1816 problem” and Hahnemann’s Chronic Diseases
  • Psora, miasms, and the classification of disease
  • Flexner-era confusion and the loss of homeopathic clarity
  • Listener comments on "homeopathy snobs" and the availability of OTC remedies

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.
