127: Homeopathy: Misophonia, What to Expect from Chronic Care & Too Many Remedies | Listener Q&A

In this listener Q&A, Denise Straiges and Alastair Gray answer questions from the Strange, Rare & Peculiar community about working with a homeopath, chronic case management, misophonia, remedy repetition, potentization, and bowel nosodes.

Listener Q&A begins at 20:00. Before that, Denise and Alastair take on the growing conversation around “gatekeeping,” remedy access, and safety in homeopathy.

Questions answered in this episode:

• How might misophonia be addressed with homeopathy?
• How long should you wait between remedy administrations in a chronic case?
• When should a remedy be repeated or changed, and how do you know when its action is exhausted?
• Why do some people improve quickly with homeopathy while others require months or even years of careful case management?
• What should a client expect during a good homeopathic follow-up?
• What changes should you track between appointments to help your homeopath evaluate the case accurately?
• Can taking too many homeopathic remedies make it harder for a homeopath to understand your case?
• Where did Hahnemann get the ideas that eventually developed into homeopathy?
• If travel by horseback or carriage did not lead Hahnemann to potentization, what did?
• What potencies did John and Elizabeth Paterson use when prescribing bowel nosodes?
• When the Patersons recommended waiting three months before repeating a bowel nosode, was that after a single administration or a course of treatment?
• Did Elizabeth Paterson write a separate book on bowel nosodes, and where can it be found?
• What does a case in which a bowel nosode is actually indicated look like, including the longer-term management of that case?
