PREPARING FOR OUR FUTURE
Most European countries live in the fear of a second wave, even though the death rate from Covid-19 cases is declining. The strong memories of this spring are still alive in all minds.
Along with an upcoming economic crisis, a slight revival of the transmission is envisioned, which could have a detrimental impact on health care systems throughout Europe, as well as a depressive effect for its citizens.
There is an urgency to prepare for this possibility and take into account the lessons learned from the first wave.
The European Commission has published guidelines to facilitate preparation for the so feared second wave:https://ec.europa.eu/info/sites/info/files/communication_-_short-term_eu_health_preparedness.pdf
The Liga Medicorum Homeopathica Internationalis (LMHI) and the ECH are also contributing to the preparation for the possible evolution of the pandemic. The main strategy has been the support to the collection of Covid-19 cases treated with homeopathy. The analysis of the cases has been published in several bulletins produced under the direction of Dr Lex Rutten, well known epidemiologist and homeopath.
The ECH wants to thank all involved in the case collection, specially Dr Carlo Maria Rezzani and Dr Tiziana Di Giampietro, involved with the Clificol project, Dr Robbert Van Haselen, who leads the Covid-19 case collection in the Vithoulkas Compass project, and Dr Lex Rutten, who has focused on prognostic factor research of the cases. The ECH gratefulness extends also to all national coordinators and individual homeopaths that have encouraged the case collection and have submitted cases.
The ECH invites all homeopaths to continue to submit Covid-19 cases, which have received homeopathic treatment. This can be the best contribution of the homeopathic community, throughout Europe, to support their patients. This will also facilitate the proposal of alternative and adapted solutions to face the primary and secondary consequences of the pandemic.
