Compelling Truths…

  • Homeopathy is a system of medicine used by over 500 million people and hundreds of thousands of physicians worldwide.

  • Overview of Global Systematic Reviews with Meta-Analysis:

    In October 2023, an overview of systematic reviews was published, analyzing meta-analyses comparing homeopathy to placebo across various medical conditions. This study included six reviews: four historical reviews published between 1997 and 2005, as well as two reviews of placebo-controlled trials by Mathie et al. (2014 and 2017).

    The primary objective was to determine whether meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) demonstrated a significant effect of homeopathy beyond that of placebo. Using established methods for evidence synthesis, Hamre et al. concluded that:

    • The confidence in the evidence supporting a significant positive effect of non-individualized homeopathy beyond placebo is Moderate.
    • When all types of homeopathy treatments are combined, the confidence level is also Moderate.
    • For individualized homeopathy, the confidence in the evidence is High.
  • Health care in France is rated by the World Health Organization as the very best in the world. It is interesting to note that 95% of all French general practitioners, dermatologists, and pediatricians and 75% of all midwives use homeopathy for their patients.
  • In 2011, Swiss government released an official and comprehensive evaluation of homeopathy. That inquiry was undertaken by a distinguished panel of eleven (11) medical doctors and research Ph.D.s. and was initiated by the government to determine whether homeopathy was an effective medical treatment option for consumers.For their review, the panel examined all available systematic reviews as well as the literature on all particular indications.Their conclusions: “after analysis of the reviews on homeopathy: in a three-tiered evaluation scale of ‘real world effectiveness’ (effectiveness likely, questionable or unlikely), homeopathy falls within the category: ‘effectiveness likely’. In summary, it can be said that there is sufficient evidence for the preclinical effectiveness and the clinical efficacy of homeopathy (evidence grades I & II) and for its safety and economy compared with conventional treatment.”
  • Research scientists in twelve separate laboratories in the U.S., Russia, France, Italy and India have confirmed that homeopathy may well be the first form of nanomedicine (albeit natural) ever discovered.
  • In addition to 200 years of positive clinical outcomes and the extensive positive evidence for homeopathy found in reliable public health records, there are literally hundreds of basic science, pre-clinical and clinical studies (including very large observational studies) that show homeopathy to be an effective therapeutic intervention.
