Hello new here... get some Qs
Posted: Wed Aug 06, 2003 6:35 pm
Hi everyone here. It was when my wife used some Boiron's OTC medicines
and found effective, then she asked me what does the word "Homepathy"
on the package mean? I said "No idea". Later I searched some info
about homeopathy, and started to get interested (I like the
non-invasive and wholistic approach it promotes). Then, one of my dog
has a itchy skin... vet's drugs (antibiotics and antihistamine) does
not help too much. I tried to use sulpfur 30C on him... and he
definitely becomes less-itchy than before! OK... now I am really
interested.
I guess most of you are aware of a "negative" paper by H. Walach, W.
Haeusler, T. Lowes, et al. "Classical Homeopathic Treatment of Chronic
Headaches". National Center of Homeopathy gave the comment that "did
not allow for adequate time according to homeopathic method in order
to assess conclusive results." However, the same group did a follow-up
study after 1-year "The long-term effects of homeopathic treatment of
chronic headaches: 1 year follow up.", Cephalalgia 20: 9, 835-837. The
conclusion remains the same... no difference between homeopathic
treatment and placebo. I know there are TONS of positive articles out
there proving homeopathy... but this one (two?) really bugs me. Can
anyone please help comment?
