2. Homeopathy in the World
The World Health Organization
has cited homeopathy as one of the
systems of traditional medicine that
should be integrated worldwide with
conventional medicine in order to provide
adequate global health care. (WHO Traditional
Medicine Strategy 2000-2005)
Homeopathy is used by 300 million patients and
400,000 healthcare providers worldwide. (OMHI - 2003)
3. Homeopathy in the United States
Homeopathic medicines have been regulated
as drugs since 1938.
(Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act – 1938
The FDA regulates the manufacturing and
distribution of homeopathic medicines.

The official compendium is the Homeopathic
Pharmacopeia of the United States (HPUS),

illness to the human body.” 1755 - 1843 Hospital
“Repeated experimentation shows that the use of small doses
is sufficient to cause a favorable effect without causing
the violent reaction that would delay healing.”
5. Homeopathic Medicines
Homeopathy is a therapeutic method
a reactional therapy
non substitutive
non coercive
that stimulates, modulates or initiates an
individual and adapted reaction
6. Substances that induce disorders,
accidentally or experimentally, are at
the origin of homeopathic medicines
used to cure similar disorders.
The homeopathic medicine can be used in every clinical
situation similar to the clinical picture induced
experimentally by the “raw substance”
HOMEO-PATHY = SAME SUFFERING
The use of active substances in ultra-low doses
ensures that the homeopathic treatment is safe, non-
toxic and without interference with other medicines.
7. The clinical indications that are retained
are those considered as:
reliable = verified by daily practice
ethical = coherent with current medical knowledge
and the possibilities of other therapies
The homeopathic medicines can be prescribed:
alone, in first intent
in association with other medicines
as complement to other therapies
