Ҥ52 There
are but two principle methods of cure:
the one based only on accurate observation
of nature, on careful experimentation
and pure experience, the homeopathic (before
we never designedly used) and a second
which does not do this, the heteropathic
or allopathic. Each opposes the other,
and only he who does not know either can
hold the delusion that they can ever approach
each other or even become united, or to
make himself so ridiculous as to practice
at one time homeopathically at another
allopathically, according to the pleasure
of the patient; a practice which may be
called criminal treason against divine
homeopathy.â€
"Organon of medicine" (VI),

Classic Homeopathy –
recognized worldwide, threatened in Bulgaria
According to the Health
Law passed at its second hearing in Bulgarian
Parliament, only doctors and dentists
shall be able to heal with homeopathy
– regardless of the fact that this is
the most gentle method without any side
effects and harmful consequences for the
patient.
This Law is violating:
1. The right of the patient to choose
a medical specialist to attend in accordance
with the Chart on Human Rights.
If you homeopath is not a doctor, you
will have to choose another one, because
the Law says so, regardless of your mutual
willing and the confidence established
between you both.
2. The Constitutional
right of every citizen to practice his
profession.
Regardless of whether you have got your
Homeopathy diploma in London, Sofia or
Mombay, in Bulgaria you do not have the
right to heal if you do not have a higher
medical education diploma as well. So
the right of Bulgarian homeopaths to practice
their profession in their own country
is being restricted, although many of
our colleagues are successfully establishing
themselves as trustworthy healers in countries
such as Canada, Australia, South Africa
and the EU Member-States.

FOR THE BULGARIAN
PARLIAMENT
AND FOR THE HEALTH COMMITTEE OF BULGARIA
ATHENS, 17/12/2002
Dear Sirs and madams,
We have been informed that there are some
people in Bulgaria who are trying to pass
the opinion that doctors should practice
Homeopathy only. This does not, at all,
surprise us, because we know that these
are some doctors who are trying, by this
way, to protect their own interests. But
despite any financial interest, first
of all is ethics and what is best for
the citizens, since this is a matter concerning
health.
Something that must, at last, be understandable
is that Homeopathy was never, and can
never become part of the classical medicine.
The philosophy of Homeopathy is different,
its methodology is different, its therapeutic
means are different, its diagnosis is
different, and they even differ to its
final aim, since in classical medicine
we consider healthy somebody who does
not exhibit any pathological symptoms
while in Homeopathy we consider healthy
somebody who evolutes and realizes himself.
For many years the medical associations
of several countries, e.g. of Germany,
of Austria, of England, etc., not only
they did not want to have any relation
with Homeopathy but they were railing
at it. For a hundred and fifty years the
doctors were laughing at Homeopathy and
they systematically ignored it. Maybe
the reason that in our days some doctors
made a turn towards Homeopathy and they
want to appropriate it to themselves is
because people made a turn towards Homeopathy?
(And this of course includes everything
that this turn brings with it)
You must know it that in the countries
of the European Union, e.g. England, Germany,
Greece, Norway, Belgium, Denmark, Sweden,
etc., but in many other countries like
the United States of America, India, etc.,
Homeopathy is practiced by anyone that
has been taught properly, doctor or non
doctor, and is included in their National
Health System, e.g. in Germany.
Here it is interesting to present to you
what the United Kingdom’s medical association
believes about Homeopathy, saying that
Homeopathy is a self-sufficient method,
independent of medicine, having its own
base and criteria of education, and also
its own criteria of competence and professionalism.
You must also know that the European Parliament
by its voting (A4-0075/97) as far as alternative
medicine is concerned, has urged the government-members
of the European Union to form a committee
for the equality of value of practical
doctors (which is a fact in Germany),
but also for the recognition of Homeopathy
as a healing method independent of classical
medicine.
As our neighbors we are looking at cooperation
with the Homeopathic Society of Bulgaria,
not only for what is about Homeopathy,
but also for an approaching of our nations
inside the European Union. We hope that
you will not set an obstacle to this!
If you want more information about Homeopathy
we are very glad to help you with it.
With honor,
Gerasimos Stouraitis
Chairman of the Homeopathic Association
of Hellas
