Open Letter to the WHO-Regional Office for Europe in Copenhagen
Re: Very urgent request for an appointment
Dear Regional Director Dr. Kluge,
on the WHO-Europe website, when searching on the topic of Traditional Medicine (TM), there is NO single entry! – On the other hand, the new Global Center for T&CM in India refers to your website as "Naturopathy" and "Homeopathy". When I enter these search terms on the WHO-Europe website, no result is found. This is not acceptable...

"Living traditional healing knowledge - our cultural heritage"
Report of the two-day symposium in Unken near Salzburg, September 9 + 10, 2022.
In cooperation with the Austrian associations TEH and TEM, ANME accompanied a very intensive and successful two-day event in theory and practice.
At the Campus Oberrain in Unken, about 60 people from all health professions, as well as interested lay people, exchanged views on the topic of "Traditional European Medicine and Healing". One focus was on the difficult situation for a health profession with permission to diagnose alongside that of the physician. In contrast to Switzerland and Germany, only a medical doctor is currently allowed to do this in Austria. However, the current development in the health sector shows that, in addition to scientific and business-oriented guideline medicine, a separate field for traditional medicine and healing has emerged, which is enjoying an ever-increasing demand. Actually, it should be a matter of course to establish an umbrella profession for this field in Austria as well.

Statement on animal health practitioners to the Conference on the Future of Europe by the Professional Association of Homeopathic Practitioners for Animals in Germany / BKTD
In October 2021, BKTD issued a contribution to the “EU-Conference on the Future of Europe” on the future of CAM therapists in animal health care. You can support it by liking and sharing this declaration on the Conference's website:
The text is as follows:
Preservation and promotion of complementary and alternative medicine for animals in the EU
Complementary and alternative medicine for animals contributes to
- ensuring animal health, thus making it a valuable addition to veterinary care
- the prevention of animal diseases
- the prevention of AMR (antimicrobial resistances)
- the protection of the environment.
Professions practicing CAM must be given legal frameworks that allow them to practice freely within the EU.
The member states of the EU should therefore
- value and recognize animal health practitioners as an independent profession,
- guarantee freedom of therapy to animal health practitioners,
- preserve the availability of human medicines that have proven harmless to humans, animals and the environment (in particular homeopathic and herbal remedies) as well as their use to animal health practitioners,
- preserve CAM treatments (in particular leeches, TEN, TCM, neural therapy) and promote them as contributing to animal health,
- recognize animal health practitioners as a (state-recognized) profession that requires training,
- allow animal owners to choose between CAM and conventional medicine in accordance with animal welfare laws,
- fully involve animal health practitioners as stakeholders in public deliberation processes regarding animal health and pharmacovigilance,
- maintain and promote the quality of remedies intended for use in animals, e. g. by defining manufacturing standards and keeping homeopathic remedies compulsory in pharmacies.
