ABSTRACT
The aim of this project is to develop a common homeopathic terminology to improve communication. A questionnaire was sent by email to an international group of experts. As a result of an iterative process we propose that a number of terms which are inaccurate, unclear or have become outdated should be replaced by new terms. The main areas in which terminology should be updated are: concepts relating to: homeopathic pharmacology, research, homeopathic medicine, the principle of similarity, homeostasis and disease imitation, miasms, experimental homeopathy, provings and pathogenic trials.

In a pilot double blind study carried out in Scotland, the effect of supplementing a conventional treatment plan with homoeopathic Arsenicum album was studied. In the management of neonatal calf scour it appeared that more animals recovered after one day in the group that had received active medicine, than in the placebo group. These results are encouraging.
