That Australian government report is total rubbish!

[Dana Ullman, MPH]

Friends,
What the media conveniently failed to report was that ANY study that was less than 150 subjects was deemed “inadequate,” and thus, the dozens of studies that have shown the efficacy of homeopathy in treating many ailments were totally thrown out and ignored, including those published in The Lancet, BMJ, Cancer, Pediatrics, Chest, Rheumatology, Pediatrics Infectious Disease Journal, British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, European Journal of Pediatrics, and many others!
Further, unless there were at least THREE studies conducted by THREE separate groups of researchers, with each study having over 150 subjects, the results were deemed to be “UNRELIABLE.”
Based on these definitions of what “adequate” and “reliable” research, EVERY CAM treatment would be deemed to be INEFFECTIVE and even DISPROVEN (this is what has been said and written about homeopathy).
Further, the VAST majority of drugs on the market today would also be deemed to be INEFFECTIVE and DISPROVEN.
Needless to say, not a single media source reported these definitions or provide ANY context.
Is anyone surprised about the above journalistic and scientific malpractice? Hopefully, this experience will have you question anything and everything you read.

Dana,
Thank you for this report! Sounds like Shang all over again . . and they accuse us of cherry picking?
I do have one question: Does the AU report say anything about homeopathic remedies being placebos, and/or do they suggest that the ultra dilute materials sued in homeopathic medicine are inert?

PS: Thank you for all you do and have done for homeopathy.
