It's official now, Homeopathy doesn't work

A total of 57 systematic reviews, containing the 176 individual studies, focused on 68 different health conditions - and found there to be no evidence homeopathy was more effective than placebo on any.

  1. This may appear to be a very anti-homeopathy post, and there are likely benefits in some instances, take a look at this:

    Even though, we can’t ignore that an important part of outcomes in medicine are driven by what we will call psychological factors, often not rationale ones, that have to be dealt with because they can translate in placebo positive effects for the patient. That is a great gap to fill in medicine, but I would rather it to be filled in a more ethic and scientific manner that it is dealt with by homeopathic alternative medicine.
