Memorandum submitted by Katherine Boulderstone
(HO 05)
1. The phrase "homeopathic products"
is meaningless in this context. There are no products that are
produced by the application of homeopathy.
2. The word "homeopathic" cannot
be used to describe a product. A remedy is only "homeopathic"
when matched to an individual according to the law of similars.
It cannot be homeopathic in isolation but only in relationship
to the state it is homeopathic to.
3. Pharmacists and some homeopaths do sometimes
use the term "homeopathic" to describe a potentised
remedy, but it is scientifically incorrect and leads to confusion
over the definition of homeopathy.
4. Potentised remedies are sometimes, but
not always, used as part of the application of the homeopathic
method of healing.
5. Homeopathy is not synonymous with very
dilute substances.
6. Instead of the phrase "homeopathic
products", I suggest the more accurate term "potentised
substances" or "potentised remedies".
