Abstract
"This conceptual article aims to establish connection between medical research in humans, non-maleficence and homeopathic self-experimentation. Medical research in humans, usually performed in the other, has been permeated by expressive abusive practices in relation to participant subjects. It is in this context, therefore, that non-maleficence, the basic ethical principle limiting these violations, emerges. Nonmaleficence is an assumption that must guide the decisions on the field of medical research, representing its harmlessness or moderation. In regards to the subject who experiences it, the investigation in humans can also be conducted as self-experimentation, that is, performed in one self. Self-experimentation, which is of great value in different areas of the medical science, is called in homeopathy as homeopathic self-experimentation. Homeopathic self-experimentation has important non-maleficent characteristics, which makes it an ethical, safe, viable, reproducible alternative, consistent for the therapeutic medical research in humans."
