Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Yevgeny Aleksandrov, physicist-experimenter, doctor of physical and mathematical sciences, who headed the RAS Commission on the fight against pseudoscience and falsification of scientific research, signing the Memorandum of the Russian Academy of Sciences "On the Fap Homeopathy" , called homeopathy of a non-existent medieval science. According to him, she takes away 15% of income from official pharmacology in Russia.

“Homeopathy has acquired the nature of the disaster,” said Fan Alexandrov. “Homeopathy is a psychotherapy that takes away 15% of all the income of pharmacologists. Despite the fact that these drugs are not worth anything because they have nothing to do. This is a pure deception. Talking about this has been going on for more than 100 years, and Russia has repeatedly made a decision with homeopathy. Especially during the Soviet regime, but when a wild one came. Capitalism, then it turned to the fullest. "

The fact that the financial interests of pharmacological companies producing homeopathic drugs play a significant role in the issue of the future existence of homeopathy, Interfax and Vice President of the Russian Academy of Sciences, former Minister of Health of the Russian Federation Vladimir Starodubov, said today. Commenting on the decision of the commission to combat pseudoscience and falsification of scientific research of the Russian Academy of Sciences, he said: "Of course, there is a financial issue. I do not know the volume of this market, I can not say - but these are billions of rubles. Therefore, there are interested parties."

According to Vice President of the Russian Academy of Sciences, homeopathy cannot be prohibited, it must be studied. "Homeopathy does not fit into the framework of classical medicine, so the scientists who do this and expressed their doubt," Starodubov believes.

Academician Alexandrov, who heads the commission to combat pseudoscience and falsification of scientific research of the Russian Academy of Sciences, also believes that homeopathy cannot be prohibited. However, he motivates this with other considerations - supposedly then she will go underground and it will be impossible to control it.

Aleksandrov emphasized that the commission recommended the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation to remove homeopathic drugs from medical use in state and municipal medical institutions. In addition, it is recommended not to include homeopathy in the standards of medical care, in clinical recommendations and in treatment protocols, as well as prohibit advertising homeopathic remedies in official medical institutions.

Academician Aleksandrov is a long -standing critic of homeopathy, stating that she "from the point of view of evidence -based science is pseudoscience." According to him, "it is very simple to prove it, and homeopathy itself does not hide it."

“In an advertisement for some“ Anaferon ”they write that the active substance is 10 to minus the 15th degree of nanograms. If it is counted by the number of molecules, no matter what molecular weight it turns out that about a million of such tablets there is not a single molecule of the active substance,” the academician explained in 2014, Interfax reports.

"Sometimes objections appear:" And we do not need any molecule. We treat medicines. This image of the medicine will be perceived when the matrix is ​​breeding water, the water remembered, and now it began to treat. "This is absolute nonsense. It does not have any such memory, and it can not treat anything. It has been repeatedly proven by scientific research, but it surfaces once every 20 years,” says academician Alexandrov.

According to him, the struggle against pseudoscience will help the state save millions of dollars, as well as eliminate the real threat to the well -being and health of Russians.
