   1. The subject of "alternative" therapies has been a concern for many years with the Orthodox Church and especially the Church of Greece. On the initiative of Synodal Commissions for Heresies, Pan-Orthodox Conferences have been convened, which have thoroughly looked into the "alternative" therapies, including homeopathy. All these conferences have agreed on the incompatibility between these alternative therapies and the faith of the Church.
