La organizacion HOMEOPATHES SANS FRONTIERES inicio en marzo de 1991 un programa de ayuda a los afectados por la epidemia de colera de Peru, que ha durado, en diversos periodos, hasta la primavera de 1992. El tratamiento homeopatico se realizo en combinacion con la rehidratacion. En el transcurso de la mision se realizo un protocolo de estudio con el objetivo de evaluar la importancia del uso de los medicamentos homeopaticos en asociacion con la rehidratacion en el tratamiento del colera, cuyos resultados estan actualmente en curso de analisis en la Universidad de Montpellier
