Many German trust in homeopathy, although their efficacy is not proven sufficiently. Even the President of the Federal chamber of physicians argues for a pragmatic use of “complementary medicine”.
A Forsa-survey on behalf of the Federal Association of the Pharmaceutical industry (BPI) showed that Many people in Germany trust in addition to conventional medicine to alternative healing methods such as homeopathy. Also, the President of the Federal chamber of physicians, Ulrich Montgomery relies on a pragmatic consideration. In an Interview with Bavarian radio, he said: It is a fact that homeopathy helps a lot of people.
It is important, however, is the Montgomery that the medical practitioner did not know when homeopathic remedies are pushed to their limits. Then he had to change to normal school medical procedures. Montgomery sees homeopathy as a complementary medicine. In conjunction with good medical training makes sense, he says.
Homeopathy – effective, method of healing, or a pure Placebo?
In homeopathy, are the ghosts again and again: it Is an effective medicine and is based on your success solely on the Placebo effect? The dispute is a religious war. On the one hand-oriented physician, the only methods of success measurement are scientific and provable.

Homeopathy is not a recognised science. Rational method will not be explained, which sets up recognition of diluted active ingredients, the essence of a person in the choice and terms are used that do not occur in the school of medicine. Nevertheless, classically trained Physicians of the many patients popular homeopathy is becoming increasingly open. Around 7000 of them have a homeopathic training.
Because the fact is: Many people swear by the use of Pessaries. The majority of Germans seems to be convinced that to you in homeopathic treatments to help, such as a study by the Bertelsmann Foundation and Barmer GEK. Of the nearly 7,000 respondents, more than 80 percent said that they have improved it a homeopathic treatment. Other research shows that every second German has used medicine balls.

If the Clinician and patient to use them correctly and responsibly, it can support the therapy success. You should therefore be an important Supplement to the conventional medicine in the sense of Integrative medicine, recognized that the patients in Germany clearly.
Also, universities should be more involved with homeopathy
The respondents are a pragmatic use of homeopathy seems to be important. It is many about homeopathy should play a greater role in research and teaching at the universities. The statement that The universities should conduct research in the field of homeopathy, and agreed with 85 percent of the respondents.
For inclusion in the Curriculum of medical studies, 78 percent. For this purpose, chairs with chairs that are dedicated to decidedly homeopathy should be created.
Homeopathy is a possible elective course in the pre-clinical and clinical section of the medical studies is according to the current version of the licensing regulations for Doctors. In fact, only about ten faculties offer but nationwide, a study of this possibility, writes to the Carstens Foundation. The Foundation was founded by the former German Federal President Karl Carstens and his wife, Veronica, to the promotion of natural healing.
School of medicine and homeopathy benefits in addition
In the survey, the BPI, there was also the payment. About 70 percent of the respondents wanted a refund of the cost of selected homeopathic services by the insurance companies.
