DZVhÄ cuddles up to the sceptics

After all, our DZVhÄ is taking action against its own colleagues in the Hahnemann Association instead of taking substantive and political action against the enemies of homeopathy. The failure of three regional associations to sign the DZVhÄ press release and the usual weak PR work show a lack of self-confidence on the part of the DZVhÄ and expose its internal divisions. There is no evidence of a critical medical debate on the content.

For 30 years, the Hahnemann Association has traditionally assumed political responsibility when the German Central Association of Homeopathic Physicians (DZVhÄ) was overwhelmed by the tasks at hand and politically too weak - as is the case now.

It takes knowledge, strength, courage and love to send healing impulses, especially in confusing times. Not everyone has that.

The DZVhÄ press release of 28.01.2021 in response to the Christmas news ticker of Hahnemann Association of 24.12.2020 around 16.00h is a devout profession of faith by the DZVhÄ in the political measures surrounding Covid-19 in Germany, the scientific basis of which has already been refuted by corresponding evidence since the middle of last year 2020.

**Science is committed to the truth alone.

Science is at the heart of Hahnemann Association's activities. The special expertise of this society is homeopathy and its scientifically sound recommendations are a guideline both nationally and internationally.

Especially in a crisis such as the situation created by Covid-19, independent, reliable, evidence-based statements from the associations are needed. Our patients are at the center of all of Hahnemann Association's considerations and actions. In this, we are deeply connected with our medical colleagues in the various specialist areas. Together with them, we are committed to "Good scientific practice" GSP and the "Oath of Hippocrates" that we have taken within ourselves.

In the wake of Covid-19, the independent scientific community has now risen up worldwide and is supporting each other with expertise, together with independently acting lawyers and journalists Link, in order to save the situation that has arisen and is endangering democracy.

Hahnemann Association is using its expertise to review information on homeopathy in order to provide people with more severe Covid-19 cases with reliable guidance in the selection of suitable treatment management in homeopathy.

As doctors, we are academically trained. It is our duty to use what we have learned to benefit patients. We must state the hard evidence for the hygiene measures clearly and comprehensibly. The sources must be cited.

Research is an unagitated, calm, long-term process. The cultivation of scientific discourse is a matter of course. The joint struggle of the research community for truth on the basis of faithful observations is a process that is naturally cultivated at scientific congresses, conferences and meetings worldwide. The center of the joint effort is the gain of knowledge.

**At the scientific level, the quality of the research statement is decisive, not the pressure from hidden interests, assisted by media or political multiplication.
