CONCLUSION: The basic active principles of highly diluted substances are still a matter of controversial debate. Although conclusions are limited due to low sample size, results from our pilot study might encourage further investigations on the role of highly diluted Sulphur in the treatment of periodontitis. Apart from a reproduction study with Sulphur, other immunological experiments, i.e. the investigation of cell limes via flow cytometry, should be performed to underpin these results.

Mind the gap! Lay and medical perceptions of risks associated with the use of alternative treatment and conventional medicine.
CONCLUSION: For the safety of CAM users, such divergent risk perceptions may have far-reaching consequences. CAM users should be taken seriously with their self-perception as decision-makers considering their approaches to experiences, knowledge, and science. An awareness of differing lay and medical risk perceptions associated with CAM and conventional medicine in research, doctor-patient communication, and education of patients and doctors is thus important to optimize patient safety in complex health care systems.

How to handle worsening of condition during treatment - risk assessment in homeopathic practice.
Authors: Stub T, Salamonsen A, Kristoffersen A, Musial F
Abstract
Even though homeopathy is regarded as a harmless intervention, homeopathic practice may not be entirely risk-free. Risk in homeopathy can be divided into direct and indirect risk. Direct risk refers to traditional adverse effects of an intervention; indirect risk is related to adverse effects in a treatment context, e.g. the practitioner. Available data suggest that the risk profile of homeopathic remedies in ultra-molecular potencies is minor, but there is a potential for indirect risk related to homeopathic practice. The concept of 'homeop...

Complementary medicine for cancer patients in general practice: qualitative interviews with german general practitioners.
CONCLUSION: Although general practitioners see themselves as an important source of information on complementary medicine for their cancer patients, they also speak of their uncertainties and lack of knowledge. General practitioners would profit from training in complementary medicine enabling them to discuss this topic with their cancer patients in a proactive, open and honest manner.

[Reimbursement for Acupuncture Treatments in the German Statutory Health Insurance System].
Authors: Trinczek K
Abstract
Since 2007, acupuncture in Germany is reimbursed by the statutory health insurance. However, this policy is limited to the diagnoses ‘chronic pain in lumbar spine’ and ‘chronic pain in knee joint through gonarthrosis’ and connected to semi-standardized specifications for acupuncture treatment that partly do not correspond with standards in professional acupuncture training. Predominantly, acupuncture is applied in orthopedic practice. High demands in qualification and quality assurance as well as the difficulty to establish an economically attractive framework in acupun...
