Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by a new coronavirus, first appeared in
late 2019. What initially seemed to be a mild influenza quickly revealed itself as
a serious and highly contagious disease, and the planet was soon faced with a significant
morbidity and mortality associated with this pathogen. For homeopathy, shunned during
its 200 years of existence by conventional medicine, this outbreak is a key opportunity
to show potentially the contribution it can make in treating COVID-19 patients. This
should be done through performance of impeccably controlled, prospective, randomized
clinical trials, with publication of their findings in well-ranked conventional medicine
journals. If the homeopathy community fails to take advantage of this rare opportunity,
it might wait another century for the next major pandemic.
