Top Research Papers on Homeopathy

Many clinical trials and case-control studies have been published about the effectiveness of homeopathic remedies for oral and maxillofacial problems, and some of this homeopathic application in dentistry are reviewed.

Homeopathy is often overlooked as a modality for pain management, but it deserves to be a first-line treatment due to its safety, effectiveness, and cost-effectiveness.

The first € price and the £ and $ price are net prices, subject to local VAT, and the €(D) includes 7% for Germany, the€(A) includes 10% for Austria.

Despite overwhelming evidence that it is neither effective nor rational, homeopathy still persists. We need a broad debate to discuss its damaging effects on public health and science itself.

It was detected that developed countries dominated homeopathy literature and it is suggested that physicians from least-developed and developing countries should be funded and encouraged to carry out homeopathy studies.

In inconclusive evidence, lack of rational explanation, and questions about safety make Edzard Ernst question Europe’s €1bn annual spend on homeopathy.

Changes in homeopathy research evidence since 1994 are examined: the published number of randomised controlled trials (RCTs), the use of individualised homeopathic intervention, the ‘proven efficacy of homeopathy’, and the quality of the evidence.

It is concluded that homeopathy may be viewed as ‘personalised nanomedicine’, and potentisation was the most important, though controversial, discovery.

A model of multi-level coherence for living organisms in which fractal phase oscillations of water are able to link and regulate a biochemical reaction, showing how a homeopathic medicine can bring back a patient from a disease state to a healthy one.

Homeopathy services, wherever available, are being used fully and thus sharing the patient load in the government-run wellness centres in India, and there is the potential for more homeopathic practitioners to contribute importantly to health care delivery in India.

Homeopathic medicines may be useful as stand-alone treatment of patients with severe acne vulgaris because the treatment remained efficacious long after cessation and is not accompanied by significant side-effects.

Evidence for the effectiveness of human and veterinary homeopathy in general, and in particular, of homeopathic treatment for infections, is available and individualized homeopathy demonstrates effects at all quality levels according to Cochrane criteria, even in the methodologically high-quality studies.

The low or uncertain overall quality of the evidence warrants caution in drawing firm conclusions about intervention effects and use of either Galphimia glauca or a homeopathic nasal spray may have small beneficial effects on the nasal and ocular symptoms of AR.

Homeopathy or homoeopathy (from the Greek όμοιος/homoios, and πάθος/pathos, suffering or disease) is a science created by Samuel Hahnemann in 1796. The homeopathic practice rests on three principles: The similarity, the individualization of cases and the infinitesimal. The use of the infinitesimal was proposed by Hahnemann in the early nineteenth century with the publication of Organon der Heilkunst (Organon of the art of healing). The compounds used do not become homeopathic unless they respect the principle of similarity, according to which a patient should be treated with a substance produc...

There are several crucial differences between hormesis and homeopathy, which seem to refute any idea that they stem from the same root and suggest exploring the differences between both systems may answer the key question of whether they do indeed share a root or embrace the same principles.

Abstract Cosmologically active Brans-Dicke (or dilaton) scalar fields are generically ruled out by solar system tests of gravity unless their couplings to ordinary matter are much suppressed relative to gravitational strength, and this is a major hindrance when building realistic models of light dilatons coupled to matter. We propose a new mechanism for evading such bounds if matter also couples to a light axion, that exploits nonlinear target-space curvature interactions to qualitatively change how the fields respond to a gravitating source. We find that dilaton-matter couplings that would be...

Limited evidence from two placebo-controlled double-blinded trials suggests HMPs might be comparable to antidepressants and superior to placebo in depression, and patients treated by homeopaths report improvement in depression.

An analysis of legitimizing strategies leads to the conclusion that advocates have been unsuccessful in maintaining and repairing moral legitimacy for homeopathy, thus threatening continued public funding for this unscientific medical modality.

The effectiveness and safety of homeopathic treatment for IBS was assessed and the risk of bias was unclear on most criteria and high for selective reporting in one of the clinical homeopathy studies.

The paper tries to answer the question why extremely high diluted substances may be able to result in a medical reaction of a patient even if no single molecule of the used substance may be present in the medicament.
