The Faculty of Homeopathy (U.K.) recently hosted its 100th Congress in Edinburgh, Scotland, centered on the theme Homeopathy: Integrative Medicine for a Sustainable Future. Hundreds attended from across the globe.
AIH President Dr. Lisa Amerine, AIH Board member, Dr. Molly Punzo, and AIH members Alastair Cook and Denise Straiges all made presentations to the Congress.
During the opening session (22nd November 2024), Dr. Amerine, delivered the inaugural William Kadleigh Memorial Lecture titled “Homeopathy: Past, Present, and Future.” In honor of Dr. Kadleigh, Dr. Amerine explored the foundation history of homeopathy by reflecting on important leaders and a case from the past. She then moved to the present, how homeopathy is integrated into our current culture, again by reflecting on homeopathy’s leaders and demonstrating a short case.
During the weekend session, Dr. Punzo presented on integrating homeopathy into palliative and end-of-life care, making the case that such care provides much-needed relief and comfort for patients and their families and can reduce the use of powerful narcotics, anxiolytics, and antipsychotics. Dr. Punzo is an advisor to the HOHM Foundation Homeopathy Help Now (HHN) Comfort Care program.
Alastair Cook’ s presentation looked at the demographic and psychographic of people who are using our
services, based on an article that has just been published in OBM complementary and integrative medicine. Denise Straiges discussed the use of homeopathy to treat patients with autoimmune diseases.
