Full textAbstract:
Aim: To systematically review surveys of 12-month prevalence of homeopathy use by the general population worldwide.Methods: Studies were identified via database searches to October 2015. Study quality was assessed using a six-item tool. All estimates were in the context of a survey which also reported prevalence of any complementary and alternative medicine use.Results: A total of 36 surveys were included. Of these, 67% met four of six quality criteria.Twelve-month prevalence of treatment by a homeopath was reported in 24 surveys of adults (median 1.5%, range 0.2–8.2%). Estimates for children were similar to those for adults. Rates in the USA, UK, Australia and Canada all ranged from 0.2% to 2.9% and remained stable over the years surveyed (1986–2012).Twelve-month prevalence of all use of homeopathy (purchase of over-the-counter homeopathic medicines and treatment by a homeopath) was reported in 10 surveys of adults (median 3.9%, range 0.7–9.8%) while a further 11 surveys which did not define the type of homeopathy use reported similar data. Rates in the USA and Australia ranged from 1.7% to 4.4% and remained stable over the years surveyed. The highest use was reported by a survey in Switzerland where homeopathy is covered by mandatory health insurance.Conclusions: This review summarises 12-month prevalence of homeopathy use from surveys conducted in eleven countries (USA, UK, Australia, Israel, Canada, Switzerland, Norway, Germany, South Korea, Japan and Singapore). Each year a small but significant percentage of these general populations use homeopathy. This includes visits to homeopaths as well as purchase of over-the-counter homeopathic medicines.

Full textAbstract:
This article provides multifaceted information as well as an assessment of how and why homoeopaths engage in quackery, which is neither safe, effective, or legal. The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors that influence the majority of homeopaths in Sindh to promote quackery through allopathic medical system, which is outside the boundaries of a homeopath’s practice license and competency. The study also explains why homeopathy has remained popular in Sindh, Pakistan, despite its limitations and waning popularity in the United States (USA), the United Kingdom (UK), Russia, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Switzerland, and Spain over the last decade, based on major national clinical research studies claiming that homeopathic medicines are no more effective than a placebo.

Full textAbstract:
This paper focuses on homeopaths’ strategies to popularise homeopathy from 1850 to 1870. I argue that homeopaths created a space for homeopathy in Mexico City in the mid-nineteenth century by facilitating patients’ access to medical knowledge, consultation and practice. In this period, when national and international armed conflicts limited the diffusion and regulation of academic medicine, homeopaths popularised homeopathy by framing it as a life-enhancing therapy with tools that responded to patients’ needs. Patients’ preference for homeopathy evolved into commercial endeavours that promoted the practice of homeopathy through the use of domestic manuals. Using rare publications and archival records, I analyse the popularisation of homeopathy in Ramón Comellas’s homeopathic manual, the commercialisation of Julián González’s family guides, and patients’ and doctors’ reception of homeopathy. I show that narratives of conversion to homeopathy relied on the different experiences of patients and trained doctors, and that patients’ positive experience with homeopathy weighed more than the doctors’ efforts to explain to the public how academic medicine worked. The fact that homeopaths and patients used a shared language to describe disease experiences framed the possibility of a horizontal transmission of medical knowledge, opening up the possibility for patients to become practitioners. By relying on the long tradition of domestic medicine in Mexico, the popularisation of homeopathy disrupted the professional boundaries that academic physicians had begun to build, making homeopaths the largest group that challenged the emergent medical academic culture and its diffusion in Mexico in the nineteenth century.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractHomeopathy was introduced into the USA by Hans Burch Gram in 1825. It developed largely through immigration of German homeopaths. The first homeopathic medical college was established in Allentown, PA in 1835. The American institute of Homeopathy (AIH) was founded in 1844. The American Medical Association was founded in 1847 and pursued policies hostile to homeopathy from the outset. Eclectic medicine was widespread in nineteenth century medicine, one of the greatest homeopaths, JT Kent had originally been an eclectic. The International Hahnemannian Association split from the AIH in 1880. The Flexner Report of 1910 resulted in many homeopathic medical colleges being closed down. Homeopathy in the USA was in steep decline from the 1920s to the 1960s but has had a strong recovery since the 1970s.

Full textAbstract:
Influenza is a common disease, widespread all over the world, that has no satisfactory treatment up to now. Homeopathy has a long tradition of being used to treat influenza and has accumulated empirical and experimental evidence showing positive effects. Large scale observational studies in different continents have never been carried out to assess the overall benefits of homeopathy in flu, what prescription strategy and medicines are more effective and for which group of patients it can be most helpful. On the other hand, there is a predicted pandemic of avian flu and it is important to be proactive and to be prepared to test homeopathy in this context. This worldwide study will collect observational data on patients with influenza or influenza-like illness treated with homeopathic by experienced homeopathic doctors during a period of 2 years. Measurements will include duration of influenza illness, change in total score of symptoms and clinical scales, as well as safety aspects (presence of adverse effects and complications). Homeopathic and any conventional medicines prescribed will be registered. Data will be entered and loaded in a web application, and will be statistically analyzed using descriptive and inferential techniques. Ethical approval will be sought, and all cases are to be submitted in an anonymous way to protect patient identity. This project aims to enable collection of useful data, together with the development of information technology infrastructure, that could be useful in future multi-centre randomized controlled trials in the treatment of influenza patients with homeopathy, besides testing a new strategy for accumulating evidence on the benefit of homeopathic treatment in other diseases and conditions.

Full textAbstract:
The article entitled "Treatment of Acute Childhood Diarrhea With Homeopathic Medicine: A Randomized Clinical Dual in Nicaragua" by Jacobs et al (Pediatrics. 1994;93:719-725) reported a study of the efficacy of homeopathy in the treatment of acute childhood diarrhea. Children with diarrhea were entered into the study if the diarrhea was not severe (type C severe diarrhea patients were sent to a hospital). Oral rehydration therapy was begun, and subjects were randomly assigned to receive either homeopathic preparations or placebos. The preparations were determined by a computerized therapeutic scheme. This scheme depended on a family observer's answers to questions from an "experienced homeopathic practitioner." The article purports to show a statistically significant difference favoring the treatment group over the controls. The report has faults of 1) purpose, 2) method, 3) diagnosis and treatment selection, 4) results interpretation, and 5) authors' editorial comments. The reported difference between treatment and control groups are of dubious significance. This article argues that the study's conclusion that homeopathy is effective for childhood diarrhea is unwarranted. Homeopaths claim that homeopathy is an "alternative" medical system. The authors justify their research in the hope that homeopathy would have public health importance. If true, one would presume the system to be equal to or better than oral rehydration therapy. Therefore, even if it were positive, this study would not prove homeopathy to be an alternative to the standard treatment of childhood diarrhea. METHODS Government agencies do not routinely assay homeopathic products. Homeopathic products have been found to be adulterated with active material.1-3

Full textAbstract:
AbstractAmong all the discoveries of Hahnemann, potentisation was the most important, though controversial. The curative effect of individualised homeopathic potencies is empirical but inexplicable by the conventional principles of science. This paradox is a highly contentious topic of debate between rationalists and homeopaths. Recent discoveries relating to the nano-particulate nature of homeopathic ultra-high potencies and their potential effect on individual gene expression give new insights into this complex issue. It is concluded that homeopathy may be viewed as ‘personalised nanomedicine’.

If there were one lacking or insufficient issue which conscious medical orientated homeopaths could regret, it would be probably high quality clinical research. A big part of the homeopathic community still insists in the traditional ways of building knowledge, leading us nowhere.

AbstractThis is another article of what we hope will be a series of interesting contributions about the relationship between art and homeopathy and the art and science of homeopathy. Many have noted this connection between art and homeopathy, and there is something about the nature of the creative force and the way in which we perceive the vital force as creative, which puts homeopathy in the same dynamic place as that which drives artistic inspiration. We would like readers to reflect on these connections and how they may have experienced, used or made art a focus of their homeopathic practice and understanding. I know from starting my group ‘Art and Homeopathy’ that the direction of our own work is diverse, but all is founded on the principle of using art in some way to clarify and enhance practice. We invite you to send us your experience or take on this, be you artist, homeopath or both. This article tries to explain how art, homeopathy and myth are totally interconnected.

Full textAbstract:
Traditionally, quantifiable research into homeopathy has largely focused on its effectiveness compared to forms of mainstream medicine. The effect of such comparisons is that homeopathy is commonly constructed as not being demonstrably effective. It becomes discredited, demarcated and downgraded as an alternative ‘type’ of practice, subsequently marginalised in terms of mainstream acceptance. Qualitative studies concerned with homeopathy and focusing on notions of personal credibility, demarcation and the marginal are primarily concerned with practitioners’ perspectives, where views are taken for granted and regarded as representative of accurate events. Thus, no study has focused on and investigated social constructions of homeopathic practice derived from practitioners, and their patients, in the semi-structured interview and in the context of the homeopathic consultation. Here, I identify and fill a gap in the literature which is currently under-represented. The corpus of twenty practitioners, seventeen patients and five homeopathic consultations drawn from interview and consultation contexts were recorded and subsequently transcribed verbatim. The innovative analytical framework is informed by discursive psychology perspectives that focus on accounts as action. Discourse analysis (DA) led to new, original and significant findings about how interpersonal experiences in relation to homeopathic practice are contingently formulated and constituted in interaction and configured over broader discourses. The analytical chapters show how talk about homeopathy is presented via four discursive strategies: by using the communicative competencies and descriptions they do, the participants’ factual accounts function to enhance their own individual credibility and that of their practices, defend their practices and attend to the notion of personal accountability as a discursive practice. For those advocates for homeopathy, managing their personal credibility is accomplished only through sensitive ways of accounting. This reflects the way in which homeopathic practice is located in a culture of scepticism, as an alternative, contested and controversial ‘type’ of practice positioned on the fringe of the modern medical market. Demonstrating an understanding of homeopathy and their expectations of it as a form of treatment, participants draw upon dichotomised categories attributed to notions of mainstream medicine and homeopathy, combined with various discursive devices to add persuasiveness to their descriptions. Overall, the originality of the research lies in the application of the innovative interactional DA framework, its broad range of participants and unique findings from within the field of homeopathy. With several implications, it forms a unique interdisciplinary, theoretical, and methodological contribution to the DA literature. It has practical implications for future policy makers, in the education and training of practitioners, and offers ways to approach future research in homeopathic encounters and in parallel health-related encounters such as other CAM therapies, Myalgic Encephalomyelitis or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Notably, the transferability of the findings has wider implications for the understanding of other contested, controversial and new medical practices in the ways that mainstream medicine is the taken-for-granted, accepted yardstick for practice. In making this distinction, the paradoxical boundaries of what is and what is not acceptable is seen as a central issue to members’ mutually intelligible sense-making practices in everyday medical encounters.

Turner, Andrew James. "Evidence-based medicine, "placebos" and the homeopathy controversy." Thesis, University of Nottingham, 2012. http://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/12577/.
Full textAbstract:
Homeopathic treatment has been available on the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) since 1948. In recent years the continued provision of homeopathy through the NHS has been increasingly questioned as part of the ascendency of evidence-based medicine (EBM). Indeed, in 2009 the House of Common’s Science and Technology committee commenced an ‘Evidence Check’ inquiry into Government policy supporting the NHS provision of homeopathic treatments. The controversy over whether homeopathic treatments ‘really’ work and whether they should be available through the NHS has generated much debate: at the heart of the controversy are questions about the nature of evidence in medicine, the validity of randomised trials and the nature and utility of ‘placebo effects’. Critics of homeopathy put forward the simple argument that best available evidence shows homeopathic treatments to be equivalent to placebo, and therefore conclude that it should not be available through publically funded healthcare. This thesis presents a critical examination of the concepts of EBM and ‘placebos’ and re-evaluates their role in the controversy around homeopathy. This thesis examines what kind of foundation the EBM philosophy of evidence provides for the arguments made in the controversy, and the role that ‘placebos’ play as both an evidential and normative standard. There are two basic arguments: first, that the arguments justifying the EBM philosophy of evidence are fundamentally unclear, but also that the interpretation given to EBM, in debates about homeopathy, cannot be sustained. Second, that the concept of ‘placebos’ should be abandoned entirely: a framework is developed for talking about the effectiveness of treatments that removes much confusion about the epistemological and ethical standards that effective treatments should be held to. In addition to attempting to provide conceptual clarity to the controversy, the main conclusion is that the Science and Technology Committee have (on the basis of their own assumptions) understated their evidential arguments, by ignoring mechanistic evidence for whether homeopathic treatments are effective, and they have overstated their ethical arguments, they do not provide good reasons to remove provision of homeopathic treatment through the NHS.

Smith, Juliet Louise. "Practitioner based inquiry : taking the case of homeopathy." Thesis, Bournemouth University, 2012. http://eprints.bournemouth.ac.uk/20976/.
Full textAbstract:
After twenty years of practising and teaching homeopathy, I am concerned that research into treatment by professional homeopaths has become stifled by evidence based medicine discourse. Homeopathy’s distinguishing features are obscured by erroneous assumptions that a homeopathic prescription is subject to the same biochemical pathways as pharmacological medication. Homeopaths are urged by external parties to ‘prove homeopathy works’ on biomedical terms. This reflexive inquiry is an attempt to redress the balance. From postmodern and pragmatic perspectives I reflexively engage with professional experiences (Smith, 2009) as a means of articulating practitioner based knowledge (Freshwater and Rolfe, 2001, Rolfe et al., 2001). The subjectivity of the practitioner researcher is transformed from a research problem into an opportunity to critically examine practitioner experience (Lees and Freshwater, 2008). The research process is a focus for the inquiry itself, with the intention of creating an open text that invites participation from the reader (Denzin and Lincoln, 1994). I ‘take the case’ of my own practice and its wider context, and enact a synergy of homeopathic practice and research methodologies. The thesis is organised around the eight principles of homeopathy. Case vignettes and homeopathy’s visual iconography (Cherry, 2008) are used to integrate clinical experience into the thesis. Multiple analytical strategies evolved, including discourse analysis, action research, narrative analysis and writing as inquiry. These are not applied to pre-existing professional experiential data (Lees, 2005), but engaging with these strategies has shaped data creation and the inquiry itself. Use of multiple methods is not an attempt to triangulate, rather the dissonance between them is essential to achieving competing and multiple perspectives on professional experience. There is no intention to present a discrete set of findings. The inquiry is framed through the inquiry process, creating an innovative approach to practitioner based inquiry as a collage of reflexive, experiential interpretations and interactions with professional practice. I redefine evidence as being the inquiry process itself and the practitioner as integral to knowledge creation and application in practice. The open dialogic text invites practitioners to adapt this model of practitioner based research in their own practices. The self-critical iterative dialogue gives voice to the practitioner researcher in discourses that are congruent with homeopathic practice. I make original contributions to knowledge by examining homeopathic practice from different theoretical and experiential perspectives, including observations on the connections between homeopathy’s enduring popularity and how the patients’ own belief systems about health and illness are still influenced by the old humoural system of medicine.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines from a medical anthropological viewpoint how the practice of the newly imported complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) has been transplanted, received and transformed in Japan. More specifically, I focus on homeopathy, which was introduced into Japan in the late 1990s. To address the research question, I focus on the practice of homeopathy from the anthropological viewpoint. The adoption of any new form of medicine is influenced by the prevailing medical, social and cultural context. So, how and why was homeopathy introduced into Japan the late 1990s? I explore this question by focusing on three aspects of the reception of homeopathy in Japan: (1) the institutionalisation of the homeopathy, including the formation of associations of practitioners and homeopathic colleges; (2) the translation of the theory and practice of homeopathy by the practitioners into a culturally acceptable form; (3) the utilisation and consumption of homeopathy by the patients, their families and self-prescribers. Over eighteen months of fieldwork in Japan led me to focus on these three elements of homeopathic practice. Regarding the theoretical framework, this mainly explores medical pluralism and the health care system in Japan from an anthropological perspective, and the globalisation and transmission of medicine. I argue that the success of homeopathy in Japan was largely thanks to the transmission strategies set by the founders of the colleges for lay homeopaths. Mothers in particular, concerned by worries over family health care, were drawn by this approach. Furthermore I also argue that this group not only be' self-help groups, creating thereby a strong tie with the lay homeopaths. I argue that mothers gained a sense of the empowerment through homeopathy. Within the Japanese health care system it was the popular sector that received and developed homeopathy.

mercado competencial de consultorios y dispensarios junto con la relación del remedio
homeopático con el mercado farmacéutico y la consecuente transformación del paciente en
cliente; y la introducción del laboratorio y los discursos experimentales como aspectos claves en
la consolidación científica de la medicina. A partir del estudio de las relaciones bidireccionales
en estos diferentes ámbitos, la tesis muestra los debates, las controversias y los cambios
epistemológicos que tuvieron lugar dentro del propio movimiento homeopático y que fueron
claves en el desarrollo de la disciplina. A la vez, esta investigación introduce como, a partir de
las estrategias utilizadas para su legitimación, la homeopatía participó en la consolidación de la
sociedad liberal / capitalista, dotando a la capital catalana de instituciones para el mantenimiento
del orden social y resignificando la terapéutica homeopática para incluir el remedio
homeopático en un mercado potente, y a la vez revela las conexiones entre las clases
aristocráticas y burguesas con la presencia pública de la disciplina a través del análisis del
Hospital Homeópata del Niño Dios. Esta memoria presenta desde una perspectiva
historiográfica novedosa y caracterizada por su enfoque crítico, las estrategias de legitimación,
los procesos de inclusión, exclusión, recepción y adaptación de los nuevos descubrimientos
científicos por parte de un sistema médico que pretendía legitimar sus postulados para no ser
excluida de la medicina oficial. La tesis revela las estrategias claves en la construcción social y
científica de la homeopatía en Cataluña: la estrategia institucional, la discursiva y la
metodológica o experimental, que paradójicamente en algunos casos provocó la legitimación
social y la deslegitimación científica de la homeopatía.This research aims to contribute to the historical understanding of the role played by homeopathy in scientific and social development in Catalonia at the beginning of the 20th century (1890-1924) from the efforts of this group to professionalize and relate to the orthodox science of this time. The thesis explores the different strategies of legitimation used by the group of homeopathic doctors not to be excluded from the scientific current that was being defined, and part of the hypothesis that in the first decades of the 20th century, in a context in which the conceptual framework of today’s medicine was being defined, the processes of social and scientific construction were key in the legitimation and the consequent obtaining of authority, of each of the medical systems that made up the medical science of the moment. In this sense, the memory deepens in key areas in the development of medicine: the institutionalization of the discipline and its organs of diffusion; the competence market of clinics and dispensaries along with the relationship of the homeopathic remedy with the pharmaceutical market and the consequent transformation of the patient into a client; and the introduction of the laboratory and experimental discourses as key aspects in the scientific consolidation of medicine. From the study of bidirectional relationships in these different areas, the thesis shows the debates, controversies and epistemological changes that took place within the homeopathic movement itself and that were key in the development of the discipline. At the same time, this research introduces how, from the strategies used for its legitimation, homeopathy participated in the consolidation of the liberal / capitalist society, endowing the Catalan capital with institutions for the maintenance of social order and resignifying homeopathic therapeutics to include the homeopathic remedy in a powerful market, and at the same time reveals the connections between the aristocratic and bourgeois classes with the public presence of the discipline through the analysis of the Hospital Homeópata del Niño Dios. This report presents, from a novel historiographic perspective and characterized by its critical approach, the strategies of legitimation, the processes of inclusion, exclusion, reception and adaptation of new scientific discoveries by a medical system that sought to legitimize its postulates so as not to be excluded. of official medicine. The thesis reveals the key strategies in the social and scientific construction of homeopathy in Catalonia: the institutional strategy, the discursive and the methodological or experimental, which paradoxically in some cases caused the social legitimization and the scientific delegitimization of homeopathy.

A utilização de preparados homeopáticos tem se tornado crescente na agricultura em especial nas plantas. Vários segmentos como a germinação, a produção de mudas, o controle de pragas e doenças de planta, o aumento de princípios ativos, desintoxicação de plantas por meios contaminantes e no metabolismo tem sido abordados através dos conceitos de Homeopatia. Os procedimentos que permitem reverter o quadro de estresse salino são pouco conhecidos, os custos são elevados e os recursos não são renováveis, tornando-se necessárias a adoção de novas tecnologias. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito de preparados homeopáticos no desempenho agronômico e parâmetros fisiológicos em tomateiro-cereja submetido a estresse salino. O delineamento estatístico utilizado foi inteiramente casualizado, com oito tratamentos e cinco repetições. Foram avaliadas diferentes dinamizações de Natrum muriaticum (3CH; 5CH; 7CH; 9CH; 11CH; 13CH), e as testemunhas (água destilada e etanol 70%). As características avaliadas foram: altura (cm), diâmetro do colo (mm), número de folhas, número de flores por cacho, número de frutos, número de frutos por cachos, fluorescência da clorofila A, condutância estomática, teor relativo de água, potencial hídrico, determinação da área foliar, determinação de fitomassa fresca de frutos (gramas), teor de sólidos solúveis (°Brix) e teor de prolina do tomateiro-cereja. A aplicação da Ultradiluição de Natrum muriaticum promoveu incremento em todas as variáveis avaliadas referentes ao desempenho agronômico do tomateiro. Natrum muriaticum 11CH e 13CH atuam positivamente no desenvolvimento vegetativo e reprodutivo de tomate-cereja submetidos à estresse salino.
The use of homeopathic preparations has become increasing in agriculture, especially in plants. Several segments such as germination, production of seedlings, pest control and plant diseases, increased raw material assets, detoxification of plants by contaminating means and at metabolism had been reached by the concepts of Homeopathy. The procedures that allow the reversal of the salinity stresses are little known, the costs are high and the resources are not renewable, becoming necessary the adoption of new technologies. The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of homeopathic preparations on agronomic performance and physiological parameters on cherry tomatoes submitted to saline stress. The statistical design was completely randomized, with eight treatments and five replicates. Different dynamizations of Natrum muriaticum (3CH; 5CH; 7CH; 9CH; 11CH; 13CH) and the controls (distilled water and 70% ethanol) were evaluated. The evaluated characteristics were: height (cm), lap diameter (mm), number of leaves, number of flowers per cluster, number of fruits, number of fruits per bunches, chlorophyll A fluorescence, stomatal conductance, relative water content, hydric potential, leaf area determination, fresh fruit phytomass determination (grams), soluble solids content (° Brix), and proline content of tomato-cherry. The application of the ultradilution of Natrum muriaticum promoted the increase in all evaluated variables related to the agronomic performance of the tomato. Natrum muriaticum 11CH and 13CH acts positively on vegetative and reproductive development of cherry tomatoes submitted to saline stress.

Mini-dissertation submitted in partial compliance with the requirements for the Master's Degree in Technology: Homeopathy, Durban Institute of Technology, 2003.From the world wide sales of homeopathic products for 1997, which were estimated to be $1.15 billion homeopathy is growing and becoming an important aspect of healthcare. In South Africa homeopathy is relatively new and there seems to be limited awareness of homeopathy amongst the public and healthcare authorities. A collection of basic data on treatment and prescribing patterns is urgently needed. A clinical audit, namely, practice based clinical research that allows the effectiveness of homeopathy to be evaluated under 'real-life' circumstances, is required. ABSTRACT A clinical audit includes three areas, quality assurance, treatment outcomes and economic outcomes. The study addressed the first two of these areas. Quality assurance includes documenting practitioner and practice demographics, procedures of diagnosis, care and treatment. The treatment outcomes were assessed by the practitioner and the patient. Patients also gave feedback on consumer satisfaction. The study was carried out by using the survey method and the measuring tool was a series of six questionnaires. The sample of practitioners (n = 30) was drawn from registered homeopathic practitioners of Kwazulu Natal (KZN). Data from 158 patients was collected. The study was completed in 5 stages. Stage 1, was a telephonic contact of all registered homeopaths by the researcher. In Stage 2, a face to face interview of participating practitioners was conducted by the researcher. Stage 3 was the initial consultation, where both the practitioner and patient completed questionnaires. Stage 4 consisted of a follow-up consultation where again the practitioner and patient completed post treatment questionnaires. Stage 5 was the exit questionnaire administered to drop out patients by the researcher telephonically.

Full textAbstract:
In this paper we examine the evolving roles of digital technology in shaping the professional identity and therapeutic encounters of homeopathic practitioners. Homeopathy is a form of alternative medicine that relies almost exclusively in making a diagnostic on patients’ verbal description of their symptoms. In contrast to the biomedical diagnosis, the homeopathic diagnosis does not place the patient in a disease category, but in a remedy category. The software that aids homeopathic professionals in their practice is based on a digitalization of books that organized the homeopathic knowledge of remedies and symptoms (repertories and Materia Medica). Organized as an inventory of descriptions of remedies and symptoms, the software operates algorithmically in helping the homeopath to match patients’ symptoms to possible remedies and select the most adequate remedy. During the consultation, the homeopath makes a patient file by writing a selection of words extracted from patients’ talk that express symptoms in great detail – including feelings, signs of suffering and various lifestyle preferences. In this process the homeopath and the software co-create the patient’s “person” as a collection of more-or-less idiosyncratic symptoms, in their attempt to match the patient’s symptomatology with the description of one single remedy. Drawing on interviews with patients and homeopaths, observations of consultations and homeopathic seminars, we argue that the use of digital technology is practiced as boundary work. Firstly, digital technology becomes a boundary marker between the patient and the homeopath. Secondly, digital technology helps homeopaths to legitimize their practice as a rigorous one, being one of the strategies used to gain acceptance in the health-care ecosystem. Last but not least, by presenting the software as only a time-saving device, a neutral aide for making “intelligent suggestions” that can be confirmed but also rejected by the homeopath’s judgment, homeopaths create a distinct professional identity oriented around a central principle of their practice: “Treat the patient as a whole person”.

ABSTRACT In the spirit of the Traditional Medicine Strategy 2014-2023, published by the World Health Organisation, for the first time in Bulgaria an empirical study was conducted aiming to improve the quality and organization of homeopathic treatment. A direct individual questionnaire on paper, filled in anonymously, was used to investigate patients’ and doctors’ attitudes and satisfaction with homeopathy. Respondents are 527 doctors and 547 patients. The study (2015-2019) was done by the National Center for Public Health and Analysis (NCPHA) under the guidance of Assoc. Prof. Iliana Yaneva, MD. According to the study, 97.4% of doctors share the opinion that “conventional and unconventional methods of treatment should complement each other”. Leading arguments for patients’ satisfaction: the „positive results of the treatment“ – 81%; “the individual attitude towards the patient as a person“ - 44.2%; „the good attitude of the doctor - attention, responsiveness, understanding“ - 33.3 %. Long-term amelioration is affirmed by 60.5% of the patients, and 26.7% feel completely cured. The data analysed show very high satisfaction in patients and good quality of homeopathic care in the country.

Full textAbstract:
Arnica montana flower extract is a popular ingredient for production of ointments, gels, and homeopathic preparations. Due to nomenclatural confusion, particularly the use of the vernacular name ”arnica” for a number of plant species, difficulties in cultivation, and high prices for wild-harvested plant material, adulteration is quite common. Some of the known adulterants and confounding species for A. montana flowers are other Arnica species (A. angustifolia, A. chamissonis, A. chamissonis subsp. foliosa), “Mexican arnica” (Heterotheca spp.), and different species from the Asteraceae family (Gaillardia spp., Grindelia spp., etc). This Laboratory Guidance Document (LGD) presents a review of various analytical methods used to differentiate between A. montana flowers, and products containing plant material from other Arnica species or adulterating materials. This document can be used in conjunction with the “Arnica montana Botanical Adulterants Prevention Bulletin” published by the ABC-AHP-NCNPR Botanical Adulterants Prevention Program in 2016.
