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
