Special therapies comprise homeopathic drugs, anthroposophic medicine and phytotherapy a heterogenous mixture, which consists partly on authorities (Hahnemann, Steiner) and partly describes the origin of the drug (herbal drugs). The field, therefore, is open to new additions (Chinese traditional medicine, American Indian drug therapy etc.). These drugs do not meet the requirements for safety and efficacy required for modern drugs and this is not required, because according to German lawyers this would be inadequate. We demonstrate examples where the health of patients has been severely damaged by this kind of medical therapies and point out that these problems continue. Reasons are presented, why the public has the right to demand proof of efficacy and safety of all drugs.
特殊疗法包括顺势疗法药物、人智医学和植物疗法，这是一种异质混合物，部分基于权威人士（哈内曼、施泰纳），部分描述药物的来源（草药）。因此，该领域对新的补充疗法开放（中医、美洲印第安药物疗法等）。这些药物不符合现代药物所需的安全性和有效性要求，而且也不需要符合，因为根据德国律师的说法，这是不充分的。我们展示了一些患者健康因这类医学疗法而受到严重损害的例子，并指出这些问题仍在继续。文中阐述了公众有权要求所有药物提供疗效和安全性证据的原因。
