More Research Funds For Homeopathy Needed
More Research Funds For Homeopathy Needed
The New Zealand
Council of Homeopaths (NZCH) would like to see
more
Research and Development money made available for
homeopathic research
following the presentation by a
Nobel Prize winner for Physiology and
Medicine, Dr. Luc
Montagnier. Dr Montagnier received the Nobel prize
for
his work on isolating the HIV virus.
Dr Montagnier spoke
to his colleagues at the Lindau Nobel Laureate
meeting
in Germany about his research on using a new method to
detect
viral infections, by looking for radio waves that
are emitted by
viruses in high dilutions. In 2009, Dr
Montagnier published research
[2] on the effect of
viruses on extreme dilutions (D12). The study
found
that electromagnetic waves are detectable after
stimulation.
Dr Montagnier's work shows that extremely
attenuated particles can
still be detected in a water
medium. The NZCH believes these links are
a step forward
in the understanding of homeopathy and its place in
science.
Homeopaths have been discovering the fingerprint
of their medicines by
trialing the effects of their
remedies on healthy people and observing
the effects
that are produced. These are then matched to the
symptoms
of an animal or person thus defining the
homeopathic term "like cures
like".
Dr Montagniers
work is very exciting for Homeopaths and comes just
after recognition by Rural Women earlier who awarded Tineke
Verkade
and her business Homeopathic Farm Services the
Supreme Enterprise
Award. Her homeopathic products are
used successfully by many farmers.
