RESUMO
The evolution of the medical practice passed by through several paradigms in the last two centuries: the medical police, as a result of the mercantilism; the urban medicine which integrated the poor people in the French productive structure; the English sanitarism, result of the industrial policy and the scientific medicine, subordinated to the economic system. The objective of this research is to demonstrate the effectiveness of Homeopathy in epidemics, having the Dengue disease as reference, with a conception of systemic health, no more fragmented or reductionist, in accordance with the new paradigm that promotes the empiric clinical approach as the fundamental guideline. This paradigm takes into account the physical, biological, psychological, cultural and social aspects of the human being according to an inter-relational and cientific vision. The Homeopathy, appeared in the end of the XVIII century, differently of the ones that suppose treating just of placebo effect, it has been proving its action, as well as its therapeutic effectiveness along extensive accumulated clinical practice. Results of a research made in São José do Rio Preto have pointed out favorably to the validity of the use of Homeopathy in collective health, by means of the implementation of a protocol directed toward the prophylaxis of Dengue epidemic.
