Hundred million Europeans use homeopathy

On March 23, the EU Homeopathy Day was celebrated, ending with a debate in the European Parliament. An estimated 100 million Europeans use homeopathy and bioregulatory medicine, the latter considered a second generation of homeopathy. In Spain, around 3000 primary care physicians, 2000 paediatricians, and 4600 physicians from other medical specialities, among which traumatologists and ENT specialists stand out, prescribe homeopathic and bioregulatory remedies. Dr. Jesus Agudo, president of the Spanish Association for the Study of Bioregulatory Medicine (Asembior) and professor of the Autonomous University of Madrid, points out that “bioregulatory medication is as safe as the homeopathic remedies, but higher doses are used and there is more scientific evidence”. In conventional homeopathy, minute amounts of herbs and minerals are used. In bioregulatory medicine, doses of approximately 20 micrograms are employed, which allows obtaining provable results and there are no side effects. Dr. Santiago de la Rosa, president of the Commission of Natural Medicine of the Medical Association of Madrid, points out “the effectiveness and safety of bioregulatory medications and their availability in various presentations”, while Dr. Assumpta Mestre, who is in charge of the homeopathic division of the Medical Association of Barcelona indicates that “their use is expanding to all medical specialities, both for treatment and prevention, because for most diseases there is involvement of the immune system”.
