Abstract

La controverse à propos de la “mémoire de l’eau” ne peut se comprendre que si le volet médiatique de cette “affaire” est dissocié des publications scientifiques sur ce sujet et des sources médicales homéopathiques qui en ont été à l’origine. Si l’aspect médiatique a été excessivement développé, la répétabilité des travaux scientifiques s’est avérée insuffisante, les efforts faits par la communauté homéopathique ayant été limités. Ceci a eu des conséquences sur l’évolution de la recherche en homéopathie et indirectement sur l’arrêt du remboursement de l’homéopathie par la Sécurité sociale en France. The controversy surrounding “water memory” can only be understood if the media component of this “affair” is separated from the scientific publications on this subject and the original homeopathic medical sources. While the media aspect was out of proportion, the reproducibility of the scientific work proved to be insufficient, the efforts made by the homeopathic community having been limited. This had consequences on the evolution of research in homeopathy and indirectly on the decision to stop the reimbursement of homeopathy by the French social security system.
