OBITUARY TO DR JACQUES IMBERECHTS

It is with great sadness that the Liga Medicorum Homoeopathica Internationalis (LMHI) honours the passing of Dr Jacques Imberechts on 02 November 2020_ in Brussels. Dr Imberechts (1937-2020) was a stalwart of the homoeopathic profession_ having studied under Dr Pierre Schmidt in Geneva_ and practiced and taught homoeopathy across the globe in a medical career that spanned nearly 60 years.

Dr Imberechts was one of the early teachers at the  Ecole Belge d Homéopathie and an active member of the Board of the  Société Royale Belge d Homéopathie . On the international stage_ Dr Imberechts was unrelenting in his commitment to homeopathy and to the homeopathic profession. Dr Imberechts was recognised by the LMHI as one of its Presidents of Honour_ having servers as President of the LMHI from 1998-2001 and as Prime Vice-President between 1995-1998. Furthermore_ he was instrumental in the development of a clinical data collection initiative which ultimately found expression in the international Clificol project_ as well as being one of the founders of the European Committee for Homoeopathy (ECH).

Dr Imberechts was a true champion of truth who devoted his entire life to the treatment and management of patients through classical homeopathy of the highest order. His charismatic personality and joie de vivre was an inspiration for an entire generation of homeopathic doctors_ who appreciated the importance of tradition_ scientific rigour and community as hallmarks of the homeopathic life.

May his gentle soul rest in eternal peace. Non inutilis vixi
