Research Shows Homeopathy is Clinically Effective.

There is growing body of research in support of homeopathy. The Lancet (9/27/97) published a comprehensive review of 89 double-blind and placebo-controlled studies on homeopathy. On average, those patients who were given a homeopathic medicine were 2.45 times more likely to experience a therapeutically beneficial result than those patients given a placebo.

The British Medical Journal (2/9/91) published a meta - analysis of 107 clinical trials of homeopathy; of the 22 best quality studies, 15 showed positive results in conditions such as hay fever, influenza, migraine headache, trauma, and duration of delivery.

A team of researchers led by Dravid Reilly, MD of Great Britain, has conducted a series of randomized double-blind , placebo-controlled trails of exceptional rigor. The results show homeopathic preparations effective in the treatment of allergic asthma and hay fever (The Lancet 10/16/86, The Lancet 12/10/94). Their most recent study in the British Medical Journal (8/12/00) showed that hay fever sufferers given a homeopathic preparation had a 28% improvement in nasal air flow compared to placebo.

The May 1994 issue of Pediatrics published a randomized double-blind clinical trial showing homeopathy effective in the treatment of acute child-hood diarrhea. This was the first study on homeopathy published in a mainstream peer-reviewed American Medical Journal.

A study in an AMA publication. Archives of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery (8/98), found that a homeopathic medicine produced a reduction in symptoms that was equivalent to conventional medicine in the treatment of patients with vertigo.

The National Institutes of Health Office of Alternative Medicine funded a double-blind, placebo-controlled study on the homeopathic treatment of mild traumatic brain injury which found a significant improvement (Journal of Head Trauma Rehabilitation 12/99).
