With Eugenie taking a well-deserved break, Marcus Fernandez is joined by Dion Tabrett and Mike Bridger for an open discussion on some of the most common myths and misconceptions in homeopathy. Drawing on their clinical experience, they explore topics such as antidoting remedies with coffee or menthol, the use of single versus multiple remedies, and why potency selection is often about fine-tuning rather than strength. The conversation highlights the highly individual nature of homeopathic treatment and challenges many of the rigid rules that have persisted over the years. They also reflect on aggravations, the importance of practitioner experience in complex cases, and their perspectives on machine-made and pharmacy-made remedies.
