RESUMEN
Uma das questões ainda polêmicas diz respeito da relação entre homeopatia e os homeopatas e o nazismo. O presente artigo representa resultados parciais de uma pesquisa em andamento, abordando vários dos tópicos em debate. Além da menção dos casos específicos de homeopatas perseguidos pelo sistema e aspectos controversos sobre a experimentação de medicamentos, particularmente em humanos, discorre-se sobre o contexto histórico: inicialmente a conjuntura político-social favoreceu as medicinas ditas alternativas, marginalizadas até essa época pela medicina oficial. Destaca-se que a palavra homeopatia não aparece nem uma única vez nos registros dos processos médicos de Nuremberg. (AU)
A still polemical issue concerns the relationship between homeopathy and homeopaths and Nazism. This article represents partial results of an ongoing research and addresses some of the topics under debate. Besides a discussion the specific instance of homeopaths pursued by the regime and controversial aspects on experimentation of remedies, particularly on human beings, it elaborates on the historical context: initially, the political and social conjuncture favored so-called alternative medicines, which had been marginalized until that moment by conventional medicine. It is highlighted that there is not one only mention to the word homeopathy in the records of Nurnberg´s medical trials.

There has been a lack of research into the effect alternative medicine's comprehensive taking of patient histories has had on practice. Significant practitioners who influenced homoeopathic case taking are discussed and the continuity and tradition of taking patient histories emphasised. (AU)
