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.
