European Central Council of Homeopaths

Annual Report 2009 – 2010

Ensuring Patients have Access to High Quality Homeopathic Treatment

Representing Homeopaths in Europe

Unifying the Homeopathy Profession

Supporting national member associations

20 years of ECCH – representing homeopaths and actively promoting homeopathy ECCH’s 20th anniversary will be celebrated during the 2010 AGM in May in Helsinki, Finland. ECCH General Secretary Stephen Gordon has been at the centre of ECCH’s birth, growth and development over the past 20 years and this will also be an important anniversary for him. Created in 1990 and maintained for 18 years under the title of the European Council for Classical Homeopathy, the Council agreed that ECCH’s name should be changed to the European Central Council of Homeopaths (ECCH) in 2008. The appropriate wording changes to the Constitution were made at the AGM in 2009. The maintenance of the title letters of ‘ECCH’ enabled the Council to keep the distinctive acronym and logo of ECCH. ECCH continues to be a forum for associations representing homeopaths in Europe who primarily prescribe according to the principles and philosophy of unicist Hahnemannian homeopathy. The new name does however more accurately state what ECCH is – the professional platform for the homeopathy profession in Europe. ECCH has achieved a lot over the past two decades, including (among other things): • Unifying the homeopathy profession in Europe in a single professional platform • Representing the homeopathy profession at a European level / with EU institutions • Obtaining NGO Participative Status with the Council of Europe • Working together with other CAM stakeholders in a broad agenda aimed at achieving a

more integrated, holistic approach to healthcare in the EU • Contributing to the foundation and being a member of:

o The International Council for Homeopathy (ICH) www.homeopathy-ich.org o The European Public Health Alliance (EPHA) www.epha.org o The European Forum for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (EFCAM) www.efcam.eu o The European Network for Homeopathy Research (ENHR)

• Cooperating with:

o The World Homeopathy Awareness Organization (WHAO) www.worldhomeopathy.org o The European Coalition of Homeopathic and Anthroposophic Medicine Producers (ECHAMP)

www.echamp.eu • Contributing to consultations by:

o The World Health Organisation on homeopathic pharmaceuticals products o The European Commission on a range of health related policy documents o The Council of Europe

• Supporting national Member Associations who are working to:

o Evolve into more effective professional associations and registers o Ensure positive regulation of the practice of homeopathy o Ensure availability of high quality homeopathic medicinal products

• Establishing guidelines in a whole range of areas, including:

o Education: undergraduate education, accreditation, CPD o Regulation: voluntary self-regulation, ethics, complaints & disciplinary procedures o Research, provings, homeopathic medicinal products, distribution of information

• Developing reports within a wide range of areas, including: o The legal situation for homeopathy in Europe o The recognition and regulation of homeopathy in Europe o The status for homeopathic medicinal products o Homeopathic treatment of animals in Europe o The effectiveness of homeopathy in several complaints o Joint policy document on the availability and quality of Homeopathic Medicinal Products

• Organising a number of professional events, including:

o Homeopathy conferences (most in cooperation with national Member Associations) o Two homeopathy education symposia o Two research symposia

2009 to 2010 – A year of informing the public An information campaign developed with the help of a group of ECCH Representatives and external advisers resulted in the development of revised guidelines for how to deal with the media, as well as production of documents on: • Information about homeopathy (research) • Homeopathy as an alternative to antibiotics • Homeopathy in fibromyalgia • Homeopathy in ADHD • Homeopathy in depression • Homeopathy in sleeping disorders • The effect of homeopathic medicines on cancer cells • Possible responses to questions and statements about homeopathy (revised) Many thanks to all those who contributed to the development of these papers.

Several of these documents were produced according to the 2010 theme of the World Homeopathy Awareness Week (WHAW) – mental health – and the information was passed on to the World Homeopathy Awareness Organization (WHAO) to be distributed among its members.

ECCH continues to publish its newsletter twice a year, to update Board Members and individual members of ECCH member associations about its work, as well as some of the latest news in areas such as politics, pharmacy, education and research. The newsletter is publicly available on the ECCH website at http://www.homeopathy-ecch.org/content/view/33/49/

A year of internal review Over the past year the ECCH Council has undergone a process of internal review to improve ECCH’s effectiveness and cost-effectiveness, starting out with the results of the ECCH member survey and later considering how ECCH can better function, both at and in between Council meetings. Some of the ensuing results include: • Improved procedures for preparations for and running of Council meetings • Deciding to establish an intranet for improved work in between meetings • Improved procedures for evaluating applications for ECCH membership • Improved procedures for considering grant applications • Options for supporting small associations in financial difficulties • Options for reduction of ECCH’s expenses • Discussion on professionalisation and the definition of a homeopath • Establishment of an ECCH Scientific Advisory Board An important area that needs to be mentioned specifically is the process of revising the European Guidelines for Homeopathic Education, which, by the end of the process will be renamed the International Guidelines for Homeopathic Education. Following the ECCH & ICH joint international Education Symposium that took place in Leuven, Belgium in Spring 2009, an intranet website was set up to aid the process of revision. More than 60 educators from across the world have joined the five revision groups: • Clinical training • E-leaning and technology • Practitioner and practice development • Teaching approaches & teachers’ competence and development • Assessment Many thanks to the Guidelines Revision Working Group Co-ordinators who have volunteered to chair the work in their groups. They are: Gwyneth Evans, Rivka Klein-De Graaf, Nicky Howard-Kemp (who took over after Malene Vestergaard-Larsen), Yanai Lev-Or and Petter Viksveen. A special thanks to Peter Mohr, who has provided considerable help by setting up the revision site free of charge. Peter also started the process of developing guidelines for education of practitioners who wish to treat animals homeopathically. The Co-ordinators make up the Core Revision Group and have been meeting regularly for mutual support and to discuss the development of the process. Thank you to Yanai Lev-Or, who has been the Council’s appointed main Revision Co-ordinator, with responsibility for overseeing the entire process. He has signed a contract for External Consultancy with ECCH and payment for his work is taken from the surplus of the income of the 2009 Education Symposium. The final revised guidelines are planned to be ready by the end of 2010. The running of the Revision intranet site has also provided ECCH with valuable experience which will be used as part of the setting up of an ECCH intranet site where ECCH Representative may discuss issues on a more regular basis. The transcripts of the presentations from the Education Symposium have been published on the ECCH website at: http://www.homeopathy-ecch.org/content/view/21/38/

Improving ECCH Member Associations voluntary self regulation ECCH is concerned with the continued development of the profession. This involves continued focus on improving each member association’s voluntary self-regulation (VSR). Guidelines for VSR were agreed in 2006 and ECCH’s Member Associations now need to consider how they can implement the agreed decision. This is important in order to ensure high quality and safe homeopathic treatment of patients to a similar high standard across Europe. It is also an area that has become increasingly important with increased focus on the profession by individuals who are opposed to the practice of homeopathy. As part of this process, ECCH has over the last few years agreed Guidelines for: • Accreditation • Individual Route to registration • Education (currently under revision) • Continuing Professional Development (CPD) • Bounds of Competence • Code of Ethics • Professional Conduct Procedures • Patient Consent and Anonymity European occupational standards planned Discussions within the ECCH Council on revision of the education guidelines and a workshop on professionalism, has resulted in a proposal to develop European Occupational Standards in Homeopathy. National occupational standards have already been developed in the United Kingdom and the first set of these is currently going through a revision there. European Occupational Standards for homeopathy will provide a useful and an important benchmark for the profession. The process of the development of EOS will start after the revised education guidelines have been finalised. Continued commitment to ICH The International Council for Homeopathy (ICH) is gradually developing and currently consists of 32 Member Associations in 28 countries, including all ECCH Member Associations. One face-to-face and two telephone meetings were carried out in 2009, as well as a telephone meeting in the first part of 2010, involving Member Associations in Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Canada, USA and Europe. ICH is chaired by Gwyneth Evans (NZ) and the Secretariat is run by ICH/ECCH General Secretary Stephen Gordon. One of the main items discussed is the planning of the 2011 ICH & JPHMA International Homeopathy Conference that is to run back-to-back with the JPHMA Annual Congress in Tokyo. The event, which is to take place on 8 – 10 October 2011, will be a unifying happening for homeopaths from across the world, with an expected 1000 to 1500 participants.

POLITICS The legal situation for homeopathy in Europe ECCH has over the years produced several updated reports on the legal situation for homeopathy in Europe. Although the last version was published in March 2009, there is a need to develop a more comprehensive revision. The main reason is that the current report does not sufficiently present the heterogeneous situation that exists for the legal status of the practice of homeopathy and CAM in Europe. The revised revision will hopefully be available later this year. The current version may be found at www.homeopathy-ecch.eu Legal to practise in some countries – legal restrictions in others ECCH is committed to patients throughout Europe having legal access to homeopathy, irrespective of their age, gender, condition or socio-economic status. Patients have access to homeopathic treatment in all countries in Europe and may self-refer to either a homeopath and/or a homeopathic doctor in all countries. There are legal restrictions in about half of the countries and it is illegal for someone who is not a medical doctor or recognised healthcare professional to practise homeopathy in 15 countries. Legal case campaigns have been considered as a means to change restrictive legislation that has been introduced in some countries. ECCH is continuously supporting Member Associations to work for patients’ and practitioners’ right to receive and provide homeopathic treatment in individual countries. Finally, hope for Swedish children

Sweden is the only country in Europe that has a law prohibiting children under the age of 8 from being treated with Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM). It also prohibits the treatment of pregnant women and women in labour with CAM. In 2009 the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) expressed its concern and recommended the Swedish Government to consider reviewing and changing its law. This is a breakthrough that came about after a

Swedish network called Heal the Children, which includes the Swedish ECCH Member Association SAKH, put forward a petition to the UNCRC and were invited to Geneva to present their case at a UNCRC hearing. Swiss vote for CAM and unification of ECCH Member Associations Switzerland became the first country in Europe to enshrine complementary medicine in its constitution when 67 percent of voters opted in favour of a new constitutional article on complementary medicine in a national referendum in May 2009. The result, which followed a public campaign, might open up for the possibility that CAM therapies, including homeopathy, can be re-instated into the basic health insurance scheme for all Swiss citizens. In the first part of 2010 the two existing Swiss ECCH Member Associations merged into one association. The former Homöopathie Verband Schweiz (HVS) and the Verband klassischer HomöopathInnen (VKH) are now united in the new Homöopathieverband Schweiz (HVS).

UK House of Commons homeopathy ‘evidence check’ ECCH contributed to the UK House of Commons’ Science & Technology Committee’s so-called ‘Evidence Check’ on homeopathy by submitting a 14 page long memorandum for the Committee’s consideration by 30 November. ECCH also informed associations and prominent individual homeopaths outside the UK about this event and many handed in their comments to the Science & Technology Committee. The Committee’s report was published early in 2010. It is ECCH’s impression that the negative results that the enquiry produced were predetermined. The way the ‘enquiry’ was carried out was deeply faulted from beginning to end and was clearly the brainchild of one of the members of the Committee who drove the report through to give vent and support to his own very strong sceptical views. The evidence provided by ECCH and many others does not seem to have been was read and seriously considered by the Committee. ECCH complains to WHO about sceptic tactics As part of the ongoing sceptic campaign against homeopathy in the United Kingdom, a group called ‘Voice of Young Science’ (VoYS) published a press statement that purported to speak on behalf of the WHO. The statement criticised the use of homeopathy for the care of patients with HIV/AIDS in Africa. VoYS is a subsidiary mouthpiece of a UK lobbying group called Sense About Science that receives a third of its annual running costs from the pharmaceutical industry. The letter was put together in a dishonest manner using short quotes from some WHO officials. In response ECCH wrote to WHO Director General Margaret Chan making a formal submission of complaint. Unfortunately the Director General chose not to reply, not to just ECCH but to other similar letters from other organisations. This lack of a reply reflects badly on WHO and raises serious questions about the internal biases and affiliations that influence their ongoing policy and decision making. In the early part of 2010 WHO was accused by officials of the Council of Europe of being unduly influenced by the pharmaceutical industry in changing its defining criteria for a pandemic so that it declared what was in fact a false H1N1 pandemic. Further Progress at EU Level 2009 has been a busy year at EU level for ECCH General Secretary Stephen Gordon. Representing ECCH he has worked together with representatives of other CAM therapy organisations representing patients, doctors, practitioners and manufacturers. The work has brought progress on a number of fronts. Plans for a high level conference on CAM to be held in Brussels in 2011 are well under way and the formation of a CAM Interest Group of MEPs within the European Parliament is also being actioned. Meanwhile the EU Commission Directorate for Health and Consumers has initiated a new project called the EU Partnership for Action Against Cancer – an inclusive grouping of all stakeholder groups who consider they have something worthwhile to contribute to the prevention and treatment of cancer in the EU. ECCH is signed up to be involved as a member.

European Federation of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (EFCAM) ECCH General Secretary Stephen Gordon, who is a founding member of EFCAM, remains active at the

centre of EFCAM’s activities and currently acts as its General Secretary. In March 2009 EFCAM was part of the stakeholder group of patients, practitioners, doctors and industry that met with DG SANCO Director General Robert Madelin for wide ranging discussions on the future of CAM in the EU health agenda. EFCAM and ECCH are both members of the Advisory Board of the successful CAMbrella consortium that gained the FP7 contract for a 3 year project into CAM in Europe. EFCAM is being increasingly recognized as an effective interlocutor for the CAM community and now has been awarded the CAM seat on DGSANCO’s advisory Health Policy Forum. European Information Centre for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (EICCAM) During 2009 formation of EICCAM was consolidated and the scientific work progressed. The scientific board has now produced ~ 30 short papers ready for dissemination and a web-site has been created to facilitate this. ECCH General Secretary Stephen Gordon is founding member of EICCAM and continues to serve as a member of its management board. European Coalition for Homeopathic and Anthroposophic Medicinal Products (ECHAMP) ECCH continues to play an active role as a Corresponding Member of ECHAMP and to support its objective of improving the EU Pharmaceutical legislation so that homeopathic and anthroposophic medicines can remain on the EU market subject only to legislation that is proportionate and appropriate to their nature. There is also a parallel battle to be won in encouraging and supporting EU Member States’ medicines authorities to interpret and implement the EU legislation in ways that maintain availability in each country. In November 2009 ECCH General Secretary Stephen Gordon attended an ECHAMP 10th Anniversary conference in Brussels entitled ‘Homeopathy and Anthroposophic Medicine – Is EU legislation fit for purpose?’ and in April 2010 he gave a short presentation on the work of the CAM Stakeholder Group in Brussels in a symposium that was part of ECHAMP’s AGM in Madrid, Spain.

Third EU Homeopathy Day in Brussels The Third EU Homeopathy Day took place in the European Parliament hosted by MEP Marian Harkin for the second year running. ECCH General Secretary Stephen Gordon was the invited Chairman and facilitator of the event and gave brief introductory presentation on homeopathy in the EU. The programme included a presentation entitled ‘Because it works for me! – the patients’ perspective’ by the Mrs Enid Segall, Chairwoman of the European Federation of Homeopathic Patients Associations (EFHPA); a presentation on ‘Forty Years of Integrative Medicine in an Anthroposophic Hospital in Germany’ by Dr Thomas Breitkreuz; a talk entitled ‘Hahnemann and the Organon – Its Relevance to EU Health Policy Today’ by Dutch Homeopath Mr Ewald Stöteler; and a presentation entitled ‘Integrated Health Care – the Northern Ireland Pilot Project’ by Mr Ken Mayne RSHom.

MEP Marian Harkin and

ECCH General Secretary Stephen Gordon on the event of EU Homeopathy Day 2010

EU antibiotic resistance day In response to the rising crisis of antibiotic resistance across the EU and the fading powers of antibiotics in dealing with infectious illnesses the EU Commission has initiated ‘EU Antibiotic Awareness day’ in November each year. In response to this initiative ECCH produces a press release to go out at the time of the event. On 18 November 2009 ECCH again created press material for its members to use. ECCH’s PR material referred to a large 3 million person population study from Finland that identified a clear statistical correlation between frequent antibiotic use and the frequency of certain types of cancer in patients. While it is not proven there is a true causal effect, if this correlation is confirmed, it is one more reason why the use of antibiotics must be drastically reduced to cases where their use is sufficiently justified. Other therapeutic interventions such as homeopathy must increasingly be used to treat patients suffering from complaints such as viral illnesses for which, in the past, antibiotics have mistakenly been over-prescribed.

Research EU-funded CAMbrella project The CAMbrella project last year received EU funding to carry out a pan-European CAM research project. The project is aiming at doing the following at a European level: • Developing consensus on definitions for terminology used in CAM • Reviewing the legal status of CAM • Evaluating citizens’ use, needs, beliefs, attitudes and demands for CAM • Exploring providers’ perspectives on CAM • Proposing appropriate research strategies for CAM • Facilitating and fostering a sustainable, high quality collaboration of CAM researchers ECCH and the European Forum for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (EFCAM) are Advisory Board Members to the CAMbrella project. ECCH General Secretary Stephen Gordon participated at the first joint meeting of the Advisory Board with the Project Consortium in Berlin in January 2010. ECCH Chair Petter Viksveen is in communication with the person responsible for the CAMbrella report on the legal status of CAM in Europe. ECCH Scientific Advisory Board ECCH occasionally receives requests for advice related to homeopathy research for which the ECCH needs expert advice. This may involve e.g. proposals for projects that homeopaths wish to establish or applications to ECCH for funding research activities. A Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) has been established in order to advise the Council in such matters. Nine individuals have agreed to be members of the ECCH SAB and most of these are experienced in areas ranging from basic to clinical homeopathy research. The cost-effectiveness of homeopathy ECCH is in the final stages of developing a document on the health economics of homeopathy. This document will provide an overview of cost-effectiveness studies with the aim of showing that homeopathy can be of financial benefit to the individual and the public. ENHR is still growing The European Network for Homeopathy Research (ENHR) continues to grow and now includes 75 members from 17 countries. Anyone who is involved in or has a particular interest in homeopathy research may join this email network free of charge.

HoA HMPWG Consultation During 2009 ECCH responded to further consultation documents from the Heads of Agencies Homeopathic Medicinal Products Working Group. The group is made up representatives from all the medicines agencies of all 27 EU Member States and is currently chaired by Dr Emiel van Galen of the Dutch Medicines Agency. ECCH Pharmacy Consultant Carl Classen developed the ECCH responses in coordination with representatives of the European Committee for Homeopathy (ECH) representing homeopathic doctors in Europe. It is difficult to see what impact the work of the HMPWG is having. If its aim is to facilitate a harmonized, proportionate implementation of the EU Pharmaceutical legislation with respect to homeopathic medicines across the EU, it is not succeeding. The situation is currently deteriorating country by country. European Coalition for Homeopathic and Anthroposophic Medicinal Products (ECHAMP) ECCH continues to play an active role as a Corresponding Member of ECHAMP and to support its objective of improving the EU Pharmaceutical legislation so that homeopathic and anthroposophic medicines can remain on the EU market subject only to legislation that is proportionate and appropriate to their nature. There is also a parallel battle to be won in encouraging and supporting EU Member States’ medicines authorities to interpret and implement the EU legislation in ways that maintain availability in each country. In November 2009 ECCH General Secretary Stephen Gordon attended an ECHAMP 10th Anniversary conference in Brussels entitled ‘Homeopathy and Anthroposophic Medicine – Is EU legislation fit for purpose?’ and in April 2010 he gave a short presentation on the work of the CAM Stakeholder Group in Brussels in a symposium that was part of ECHAMP’s AGM in Madrid, Spain.
