Deconstructing the Debate

The homeopathy sector has been under attack from anti-homeopathy campaigners for well over a decade. To many, it can feel as if our profession has been stuck in a completely immovable ‘It’s placebo”/ ”It’s not placebo” stand-off since the late 2000s. However, on closer examination, shifts in the debate are apparent. In this session we will review the latest ‘skeptic’ arguments emerging in recent times and the steps taken to counter them. This requires objective consideration of how well ‘our’ evidence really compares to the evidence base for conventional medicine; as we address this question, you will become equipped with the most recent scientific information, enabling you to educate yourself and others about the realities of the evidence behind homeopathic medicine in 2023.
