Despite the homeopathic doctors studying medicine, they treat their patients against the basis of scientific knowledge. Allegations of fraud surround the topic. In the film, homeopaths embark on adventurous explanations of their popular belief system.
Not an easy task with drugs like ‘North Pole‘ or ‘Laser‘, which are administered in the form of globules. Homeopathy, which is often confused with naturopathy, is "one of the most popular medical systems worldwide". This is how Jens Behnke of the Carstens Foundation puts it. After investing about 30 million euros in research, pressure is increasing to prove that homeopathic drugs are more than just placebos. MD Christine Laschkolnig prefers to trust the positive feedback from her patients: “Children throw themselves on the floor and scream for their globules. They clearly feel this in their bodies.” Her colleague MD Maria-Lucia Kaut says: “What you observe is true. Period!“ But if all homeopaths make different observations and believe they are true, then critics are no longer needed to make the discussion exciting.
‘Homeopathy Unrefuted?‘ is an argumentative piece without an opponent. In any case, the protagonists are armed for defense. Too much is at stake, their own profession and how they view the world.
