On Friday, February 5, IHP Magazine was honoured to have an exclusive interview with Dr. Peter Fisher.
Dr. Peter Fisher, M.D., F.R.C.P., F.F.Hom., is clinical director of research and consultant physician to the Royal London Hospital for Integrated Medicine as well as physician to HM Queen Elizabeth II. He is a member of the World Health Organization Expert Advisory Panel on Traditional and Complementary Medicine and a Member of the Advisory and Editorial Board, Cochrane Collaboration Complementary and Alternative Medicine Field. A Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians of London, Dr. Fisher is accredited as a specialist in both homeopathy and rheumatology.
The interview with Dr. Fisher that took place at Renaissance Hotel Downtown in Toronto was focused on homeopathy and its integration into conventional medical systems.
“The whole point of integration is to combine the best of both worlds,” says Dr. Fisher. “The benefits are that it [homeopathy] can treat the symptoms that are difficult to treat otherwise and most importantly, that it can reduce the burden of the vastly used drugs that are being prescribed.”
Some of the other topics discussed during the interview included the therapeutic values and limits of homeopathic medicines, challenges the homeopathic medicine is facing today and how the perception of homeopathy has been changing throughout the years.
