The Carlos Finlay Institute, Havana, Cuba.
Dr Bracho will be giving presentations on the remarkable results he and his team at the Finlay Institute in their homoeoprophylatic treatment of Leprospirosis, a complaint that affects many Cubans in the hurricane season. The study shows how effective and safe homoeopathy is when compared to traditional medical vaccinations.
In November 2007, after severe floods in three provinces of eastern Cuba, 2.3 million people were declared at risk of Leptospirosis. After the Finlay Institute administered dilutions of Leptospirosis a significant decrease in the incidence of disease, and of the accompanying mortality rate of inpatients, was observed within a two week period in the intervention regions. The expected Leptospirosis epidemic was relatively low as a result. As Dr Bracho and his team continue their studies they will be presenting updated information.
