Erik van Woensel: “Classical Homeopathy Evidence Based Medicine. Vol. 2: Case Studies, Long Term Treatment, Theory”

Both pharmacotherapy and behavioural treatment are required to relieve the symptoms of addictive disorders. This paper reviews the evidence for the benefits of pharmacotherapy and discusses mechanisms where possible. Animal models of addiction have led to some medications that are effective in reducing symptoms and improving function but they do not produce a cure. Addiction is a chronic disease that tends to recur when treatment is stopped; thus, long-term treatment is recommended.

Based Medicine

One explanation for breakdown of the traditional medical connection of diagnosis and treatment is presented. It is suggested that it was a natural process brought to life by the results of the development of genetics and the results of the application of clinical epidemiology (the theory of evidence-based medicine), which led to the beginning of the downfall of the nosological concept, so far de facto, and in the long term de jure. Medicine is painfully returning to a holistic view of a patient.

Ontological Concept

This paper seeks to inform the current debate on an alleged ‘crisis’ and the ‘unintended negative consequences’ of evidence-based medicine (EBM) from a historical perspective. EBM can be placed against the background of a long term process of medical quantification and objectification. This long term process was accompanied by a ‘specificity revolution’, which made the ontological concept of diseases as specific entities the central ordering and regulatory principle in healthcare (as well as in clinical epidemiology and EBM). To a certain extent, the debate about EBM’s alleged crisis can be understood as resulting from this specificity revolution. When the ontological concept of disease is applied too rigidly, this will contribute to ‘negative unintended consequences’ of EBM such as ‘poor mapping of multimorbidity’ and medical practice ‘that is management-driven rather than patient-centered’.
