[Dana Ullman, MPH]

Friends,
Whenever you read that “there is no evidence that homeopathic medicines work,” please tell these people to stop mis-informing themselves and others.
There are literally hundreds of controlled clinical trials published in peer-review medical journals. For reference to and description of these 300+ studies, go to:

AbstractObjective

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of potentized estrogen compared to placebo in homeopathic treatment of endometriosis-associated pelvic pain (EAPP).
Study design

The present was a 24-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial that included 50 women aged 18–45 years old with diagnosis of deeply infiltrating endometriosis based on magnetic resonance imaging or transvaginal ultrasound after bowel preparation, and score ≥ 5 on a visual analogue scale (VAS: range 0 to 10) for endometriosis-associated pelvic pain. Potentized estrogen (12cH, 18cH and 24cH) or placebo was administered twice daily per oral route. The primary outcome measure was change in the severity of EAPP global and partial scores (VAS) from baseline to week 24, determined as the difference in the mean score of five modalities of chronic pelvic pain (dysmenorrhea, deep dyspareunia, non-cyclic pelvic pain, cyclic bowel pain and/or cyclic urinary pain). The secondary outcome measures were mean score difference for quality of life assessed with SF-36 Health Survey Questionnaire, depression symptoms on Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and anxiety symptoms on Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI).
Results

The EAPP global score (VAS: range 0 to 50) decreased by 12.82 (P  , Endometriosis , Pelvic pain , Homeopathic remedy , Rebound effect , Placebo , Randomized controlled trial (RCT)
