Pediatrician Lorenzetti: ‘Homeopathy is part of integrated medicine’

“The possibility of using, in addition to traditional medicine, another therapeutic possibility should also enter our clinical practice. I believe that integrated medicine is the best way to be able to see the patient’s problems at 360 degrees and not just the pathology for which at that moment the patient asks for help. Integrated medicine is important, homeopathy is part of it “. Thus Maria Elena Lorenzetti, pediatrician and Cedh Italia teacher, on the sidelines of the 10th International Congress of the Center d’Enseignement et de Développement de l’Homéopathie, starting today in Rome with the participation of over 500 health professionals from 22 countries including United States, Colombia, Spain, Romania, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, France, Tunisia, Belgium and Italy. A two-day discussion in which specialists will address numerous topics, including the new codes for the care of children and adolescents of the 21st century, pediatric oncology, gynecological disorders, school phobias, dermo-respiratory syndrome, as well as the role of homeopathy in the overall care of patients. “Homeopathic medicines, due to their characteristic of production and origin (from the animal, vegetable and mineral world) – explains Lorenzetti – can be used in all fields, in particular for fragile patients. So for the chronic diseases of the elderly, for pregnant and lactating women, as well as in pediatrics. In the pediatric field, homeopathy is certainly an additional therapeutic weapon. I believe that the compliance of children is enormous compared to adults and rather than to other allopathic medicines. So we pediatricians we should begin to deepen our knowledge with the study of homeopathy “. Lorenzetti complains that in Italy, in the Faculties of Medicine and Pharmacy, “homeopathy is not taught in subsequent specializations. In reality, homeopathy is a branch of medicine, homeopaths are medicines, not surprisingly classified by current legislation, both community than national, as medicines. Homeopathic products are therefore defined and considered medicines within the whole European Union and in some States they are even charged to health systems. Therefore, knowing the other medicines and learning the pharmacology of the other medicines, we must know that there are also different medicines, that is homeopaths. This is because the possibility of using other therapeutic possibilities in addition to traditional medicine should also enter our clinical practice. Nowadays – underlines the pediatrician – I believe that integrated medicine is the best thing to be able to see the patient’s problems at 360 degrees, and not just de lla pathology, for which at that moment the patient asks for help. Integrated medicine is important and homeopathy is part of it “.
