HRI films
Hear from the experts
At the biennial HRI conferences we gather together some of the biggest names in homeopathy research from around the world, in a forum of intensive collaboration.
As well as filming all presentations, we take these rare opportunities to interview these researchers, giving us deeper insight into the fascinating work they are doing and the stories behind their cutting edge research.
Rachel Roberts explains the reality of homeopathy research, why research is important and what is needed to solidify its position in evidence based healthcare.
Prof Oskan Tasinov, Medical University of Varna, Bulgaria
Prof Oskan Tasinov explains how the homeopathic remedy Ferrum phosphoricum D12 stimulates immune cells (macrophages), helping them fight infections more effectively.
Dr Leonardo Faedo, Coventry University, UK
Dr Leonardo Faedo, an agronomist specialising in sustainable farming systems, explains his latest research which found that homeopathy appears to enhance crop yield and increase resilience against pests whilst reducing use of harmful pesticides.
Dr Jean-Lionel Bagot & Dr Ingrid Theunissen, SHISSO, France
Oncologists Dr Jean-Lionel Bagot and Dr Ingrid Theunissen discuss the work they presented at HRI London 2023, which explores the concept of N-of-1 trials in the context of homeopathy and integrative oncology. N-of-1 trials aim to identify what works for a particular patient, rather than relying solely on double-blind randomised controlled trials (RCTs), in order to help establish optimal outcomes in a real-world setting.
Dr Esther van der Werf, HRI, UK
HRI’s Clinical Research Lead, Dr Esther van der Werf, discusses an ongoing systematic review which aims to assess the effectiveness of homeopathy in the treatment of otitis media, and whether it could be used as part of an alternative treatment strategy to combat overuse of antibiotics.
Dr Steven Cartwright, Cherwell Innovation Centre, UK
Dr Steven Cartwright summarises his body of research from the past decade, during which time he has employed solvatochromic dyes to establish a mechanism of action for homeopathic medicines.
Dr Alexander Tournier & Rachel Roberts – Unlocking the potential of homeopathy
Dr Alexander Tournier (HRI Chairman) and Rachel Roberts (HRI Chief Executive) explain the key role homeopathy could play in future, and why further funding is necessary to unlock its full potential.
Dr Jésus Antonio López Carvallo, CICESE, Mexico
Dr Carvallo, explains how he became interested in researching the use of homeopathic medicines in aquatic farming, achieving impressive results in fish, shrimp, mussels and oysters.
Scientists say…homeopathy is not just a placebo
Experts who know the current scientific literature explain how laboratory and clinical studies contradict the idea homeopathy is only a placebo effect.

Exploring Homeopathy Treatment of Wildlife
Veterinary case studies for wildlife involve rescued animals, those injured through human activity, or those cared for by veterinarians in zoological parks. They provide a useful first step in exploring how homeopathy may be able to support the health and well-being of these animals.
Using duckweed to investigate the effectiveness of homeopathy
Duckweed is a small, aquatic plant also known as water lentils. It is extremely sensitive to tiny amounts of impurities. For this reason, it is often used for water quality tests. A scientific study, led by a Swiss research group, showed homeopathic arsenic to be more effective for treating poisoned duckweed than water alone.
Prof Leoni Bonamin, Professor, UNIP, Brazil
