They commented that for several reasons the homeopathy school disappeared here in Yucatan, although the practice continues to be offered through professionals who study in other schools, mainly in Mexico City.
In Mexico City are located the “Free School of Homeopathy of Mexico” that gives the career of Homeopathic Physician, Surgeon and Midwife, and the National Polytechnic Institute, which offers the career of Medical Surgeon and Homeopath; there are also more private schools that offer these specialties.
Homeopathy is considered a curative method of some diseases that is based on the application of small amounts of substances that, if applied in large proportions to a healthy individual, would produce the same symptoms that are intended to combat. He argues that a substance that causes the symptoms of a disease in healthy people will cure it similarly in sick people.
The conference will offer about 30 papers with topics such as: Advances in homeopathic research, Homeopathic Pharmacodynamics, Current state of teaching in homeopathy in Mexico, and Ecology and homeopathy, among others.
The inauguration of the event was to take place Thursday October 5 at 10 a. m. at the Hyatt Regency Hotel.
