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.
