  • Submission from the Society of Homeopaths
    Written evidence submitted by the Society of Homeopaths (AMR005) SUBMISSION FROM: Dr Angelina Mosley BSc (Hons) Cantab, MSc, PhD, LCHE, RSHom Philippa Fibert BEd (Hons) Cantab, BSc (Homeopathy), MSc, RSHom Joint research consultants for the Society of Homeopaths ORGANISATION: The Society of Homeopaths is the UK’s largest professional organisation registering homeopaths with 1300 members. Homeopaths registered with the Society have agreed to practise in accordance with a strict Code of Ethics and Practice, hold professional insurance and have passed stringent academic and clinical assessment before being admitted to the Register. REASON FOR SUBMITTING: This written submission by the joint research consultants of the Society of Homeopaths (referred to as ‘the Society’ from here on) aims to provide evidence-based suggestions for the role homeopathy might play in the effective treatment, management and control of infectious diseases in order to support the UK Government’s 5 year strategy for the stewarding and conservation of existing antimicrobial treatments. BULLET POINT SUMMARY: This submission argues that homeopathy, as a system of medicine, can support the UK Government’s 5 year strategy to conserve and steward the effectiveness of existing antimicrobial treatments and offer an avenue for the development of novel future therapies. We provide evidence to support our claims that: Homeopathy is a demonstrably effective treatment option for a range of human infectious diseases. Homeopathic treatment can be at least equivalent in effectiveness to antibiotics for certain human infectious diseases. Homeopathy can offer an effective alternative to non-essential antimicrobial usage in animal husbandry. Homeopathy has a robust track record of controlling, managing and preventing outbreaks of infectious diseases on a large scale.

  • Taking the Case of Homeopathy Juliet Louise
    PRACTITIONER BASED INQUIRY: TAKING THE CASE OF HOMEOPATHY JULIET LOUISE SMITH A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Bournemouth University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Bournemouth University January 2012 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with its author and due acknowledgement must always be made of the use of any material contained in, or derived from, this thesis. ABSTRACT JULIET L SMITH PRACTITIONER BASED INQUIRY: TAKING THE CASE OF HOMEOPATHY 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.
