A Strategy for Research into Homoeopathy

Abstract

This article has been originally drafted by F Wiegant, D Koster and Ton Nicolai as a report of the European Committee for Homoeopathy to the Directorate General XII of the European Commission in Bruxelles. Since the article contains important contributions regarding assessments and standards in research into homoeopathy, it has been found that it will be useful to a larger international audience. Hence, we made part of this information available here in the context of the fundamental research presented in this book. For the original report (Wiegant et al, 1997) the European Committee for Homoeopathy has asked all individuals that are known to be involved in homoeopathic research in the European Union for their additions, comments and suggestions. The final report and this version of it, therefore, can be considered to be the shared view of all homoeopathic researchers in the European Union.
