Potentized medicines - used for around 100 years in anthroposophic medicine and 200 years in homeopathy - are produced by a successive process of dilution and shaking steps which, from certain potency levels, leads to degrees of dilution in which no molecule of the original substance can be chemically detected. According to molecular-pharmacological lock-and-key concepts, there can no longer be any specific efficacy. However, the question of possible efficacy cannot be answered on the basis of purely theoretical considerations, but primarily requires well-founded empirical studies. Significant progress has been made in this field of research in recent years.

For this reason, the Integrated Accompanying Studies in Anthroposophic Medicine would like to present and discuss current results of preclinical and clinical research projects on the 15th Academy Day, on the basis of which the currently available facts and at the same time the open questions of this field of research will be identified and clarified.

Invited speakers are Prof. Dr. Stephan Baumgartner, who is known for his decades of research in this field, and Dr. Harald Johan Hamre, who published the first systematic review of the available cross-indication meta-analyses on homeopathy in November 2023.

The event will be held in German.
