Annual Country Reports on Homeopathy
Clinical Efficacy of Homeopathy
This LMHI Research Working Group report has been requested by the LMHI's National Vice-President for Belgium, Dr. Léon Scheepers. He asked for scientific advice about an official Belgian report published by the Federal Health Care Knowledge Centre (KCE) on 24 May 2011. The Belgian homeopathic association Unio Homeopathica Belgica (UHB) expresses some doubts about the scientific relevancy of certain parts of the KCE report, especially the part evaluating clinical efficacy concluding that "no convincing proof of efficacy exists for any condition for which a systematic review was available". The Research Working Group (RWG) agreed to scrutinize and comment on this report using the normal scientific perspective for evaluation of efficacy in medicine.
