It was established in 1993 for Peter Matthiessen, who had previously been commissioned by the German government to conduct the first academic survey of complementary medicine in Germany "unconventional medical directions (UMR)" and "unconventional methods of cancer treatment (UMK)"[1], continued this, and was then one of the founders of the Dialogforum Pluralismus in der Medizin.[2] He was also a co-founder of the University of Witten/Herdecke.[1][3] Throughout his life, he advocated pluralism of methods and theories in medicine.[4]

Heusser was for many years an expert on the evaluation for complementary medicine for the Swiss Federal Ministry ("Bundesämter") for Social Security and for Health. He is still an extraordinary member of the Swissmedic Medicines Expert Committee as an expert in anthroposophic medicine.[7]
Through his initiative, a Clinical Research and Teaching Center (FLZ) was established at the Herdecke Community Hospital,[5] where GCP-compliant studies on Anthroposophic Medicine(AM) procedures and homeopathy are conducted.
