Denise Straiges MA, CCH, RSHom(NA), PCH is fiercely committed to raising the bar in academic and clinical training for all Homeopaths. She is the President and Clinical Director of The Academy of Homeopathy Education (AHE), and established HOHM Foundation, whose initiatives include the Homeopathy Help Network, a not-for-profit, research-based initiative focused on delivering high quality, affordable Homeopathy care to all. Under her leadership, AHE was named exclusive educational provider for the American Institute of Homeopathy (AIH), the oldest medical society in the US.
Denise is a 2023 graduate of Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Her dissertation, Contingent Evolution: Homeopathy and 19th Century Biomedicine explores how the uptake of bacteriological discoveries into the canon of 19th century medical knowledge was an interdependent and non-linear process in both orthodox and heterodox spaces. In conjunction with HOHM Foundation, she has published numerous peer-reviewed articles on clinical outcomes and education in integrative medicine, and her dissertation was released as a book in 2023. She is completing a compendium of homeopathic case analysis with expected publication in 2024/25.
Denise maintains a busy practice in classical homeopathy with a focus on complex neurological and autoimmune conditions and provides clinical supervision and mentorship to students and professional homeopaths around the world.
How is it that homeopathy—despite 230 years of clinical successes, many of which defy the prognosis and expectations as set forth by the medical system—has yet to break through the prevailing narrative that marginalizes it as placebo at best, or as flat-out fraud? Two arguments put forward by skeptics and critics are that our research samples are too small and cases are anecdotal, therefore declaring our research statistically irrelevant, and placing it low on the evidence hierarchy.
Restoring homeopathy to its rightful place in medicine requires a unified approach that transcends these critiques and elevates our work by presenting irrefutable evidence via large data sets that are collected and analyzed in accordance with vetted measurement tools and meeting the highest research standards.
HOHM Foundation has been able to do just that.
HOHM’s vertically integrated organization has a robust infrastructure that tracks cases from intake through to peer-reviewed publication. From its launch of HHN in March 2020 to the time of this presentation, HOHM’s team will have seen more than 5,000 acute cases in addition to the over 500 chronic cases seen each year via in its internally moderated clinician network.
This presentation tracks the evolution of the Homeopathy Help Network and analyzes over three years of data as collected by the team underscoring homeopathy’s safety, effectiveness, and rates of success. Not only will participants leave this talk feeling inspired to participate in homeopathy research—they will have received everything needed to join HOHM’s team and make a difference.
