AIH and the Faculty collaborate for a further 3 years

Faculty of Homeopathy and the American Institute of Homeopathy Renew Historic Agreement for another Three Years.

The Faculty of Homeopathy and the American Institute of Homeopathy have signed a new Memorandum of Understanding, signaling their intention to continue to collaborate and assertively promote the growth of Homeopathy in both countries and around the world.

This historic collaboration commenced with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding on July 6, 2022, for a one-year period. Following a year of successful and cordial collaboration, both organizations have now agreed to continue to work together for a further three years.

The agreement calls for the two organizations to collaborate on joint research projects to promote Homeopathy; to collaborate on networking and education events; and to share best practice to support Homeopathy education and research. A highlight of the collaboration so far is the joint hosting of a major, first-of-its-kind, homeopathic research conference in the U.S. in October 2023 (https://homeopathyusa.org/education/2023-conference.html).

“Given the urgency of needing to find solutions to problems like antibiotic resistant diseases and pain management, the members of the American Institute of Homeopathy are excited to be working with the Faculty of Homeopathy to promote the growth of homeopathy in the U.S. and the U.K.,” said Dr Alex Bekker, President of the American Institute of Homeopathy.

Dr Gary Smyth, President of the Faculty of Homeopathy comments, “Integrating homeopathy within medical practice offers safe, cost effective and clinically effective solutions to many of the current global healthcare challenges. This historic agreement represents an important transatlantic collaboration and partnership between two of the world’s longest established homeopathic organizations. On behalf of all my colleagues at the Faculty of Homeopathy, I am delighted to be working with the American Institute of Homeopathy and collectively raising awareness of this important system of medicine.”
