Research into Homeopathic
Medicine is not with out its controversy. Homeopathy is often lazily dismissed
as lacking in serious research but there is actually 200 years of considerable
evidence. Without doubt some is unconvincing, many trials are underpowered,
many are biased and poorly constructed but some is stunning. It is often
forgotten that it is in homeopathy that the first clinical trial was ever
conducted, and also homeopathy where the first use of placebo was
implemented.
There are trials testing
homeopathy and hay-fever, influenza, menopause, rheumatoid arthritis. There are
trials examining the cost effectiveness and cost benefit of homeopathy in
different conditions. There are studies examining homeopathy and patient
satisfaction. There are trials looking at the degree to which the medicine or
the consultation is the influencing factor. In addition, there are trials
involving millions of people examining the use of homeopathy to protect
populations in epidemic diseases.
Not all are positive. But not
all are negative either. Many of the results cannot be explained by what we
think we know about conventional physics, chemistry or medical science.
