Medical Disclaimer

  • Homeopathy is a patient-centered approach that does not directly target the COVID-19 virus.
  • Instead, homeopathy aims to enhance the patient's own ability to fight and recover from an infection.
  • Homeopaths have a long experience (more than 200 years) with the treatment of epidemic diseases, often with promising results.
  • The effectiveness of homeopathy in COVID-19 patients is currently unknown.
  • Therefore homeopaths are systematically collecting and analyzing their experiences with the treatment of COVID-19 patients.
  • Given the scarcity of therapeutic treatment options for COVID-19, investigating how complementary approaches could contribute, is justified.
  • Subject to further confirmation / research, homeopathy may play a role as an adjunct to conventional treatment and offer advice in the management of COVID-19.

Why join CliFiCol?

Homeopaths have a long experience (more than 200 years) with the treatment of epidemic diseases, often with promising results, but the effectiveness of homeopathy in COVID-19 patients is currently unknown.

The CliFiCol COVID-19 Support Project has a Governance Committee representing 197 professional homeopathic associations around the world. COVID-19 experiences of homeopaths from all over the world are being systematically collected and subjected to further confirmation / research.

Aggregated data including the prevalence of the most common remedies and rubrics will be visible for all participants in real time.

The aim of the internal project is to collect data about homeopathic support in COVID-19 patients, emphasizing on improving the practice of homeopathy. The main research questions are:

  • What are the most prescribed remedies (in different regions, age, severity…)?
  • Is there evidence to support the notion of 'Genus Epidemicus' (one core set of symptoms corresponding to one remedy per geographic location)?
  • Is there any difference in symptomatic presentation between different geographical locations or even within a given geographical area?
  • What is the observed progression in severity of symptoms?
  • Do homeopathic symptom patterns correlate with successful homeopathic prescriptions of a corresponding remedy in COVID-19 patients?
  • What are the key differentiating factors between the different symptom/remedy pictures?
  • Are symptom picture correlated with factors other than geographical such as age, sex, comorbidities, diagnosis accuracy
  • Are unexpected side effects observed or safety concerns reported?
  • The eligibility of homeopaths are as follows:
    • Inclusion criteria

  • The data is evaluated by a scientific committee. The committee members together cover all relevant scientific areas (methodological, statistics, specific homeopathic philosophy requirements, clinical research, network with similar projects, etc.). More here
