On Tuesday 17^th May, the Homeopathy Research Institute hosted a reception at the House of Commons in London. Sponsored by David Tredinnick MP, the event focused on placing homeopathy research on the national agenda as a valid and necessary scientific field of inquiry. The Institute utilised this event to launch a fundraising appeal to raise £2 million by 2013, dedicated to funding key scientific research in this field.

Dr Alexander Tournier, HRI Chairman, says, “Recent statements in the media have argued that further research in homeopathy is not justified, however this is far from the case as many important questions remain unanswered. Homeopathy is a complex subject, which we are only just starting to explore”.
