1. Homeopathy and conventional medicine – an irresolvable contradiction or do they complement each other?

Thez complement each other, but each one should be used separately.
Homeopathy is indicated in the beginning stages of chronic diseases, conventional medicine is appropriate in the end stages of chronic diseases.


2. Are the questions you face still the same as in the early days of homeopathy?

The questions are similar but are asked from higher educated people.


3. Is homeopathy today more accepted than ever? In which countries is it most or least accepted?

Homeopathy today is way ahead than fifty years ago. Recently it has been accepted in several medical schools like the Basdue Medical School in Spain, the Kiev Medical Academy, the Moscow Medical Academy and to a minor degree with introductory lectures in several others. An important development in Greece was the cooperation of the International Academy for Homeopathy and the Aegean University for educating medical doctors - so far about 200. The cooperation started in 2004.


4. Do we know how homeopathy works?

We don’t know yet. There are several theoretical models, but so far none has been proved beyond any doubt.


5. Why isn’t homeopathy widely spread since it is so effective?

There are several reasons. First, the lack of a proper education, which should be long enough and with high standards. Second, the resistance from vested interests (pharmaceutical industries and medical authorities). Third, the lack of proper information in the general public and among medical students.


6. What effect has the RLA had on your work?

It had a very positive effect in opening the doors for cooperation with higher learning institutions and particularly great exposure in the media.
