Studies on homeopathic remedies are conducted quite regularly. And no matter how many scientific minds say that homeopathy is not suitable for the treatment of diseases, there are always those who are trying to prove the opposite.
Over the past 15 years, several different studies have been conducted in the field of homeopathy. AT 2002 An article was published this year, which is now available in the American Medical Library, that homeopathy is nothing more than the use of medications in a diluted form.
В 2010 year, a group of pediatricians urged not to use homeopathic remedies for the treatment of children, as it did more harm than good.
В 2014 year another study was conducted, proving that the use of homeopathy is comparable only with the placebo effect.
And just recently a magazine Smithsonian published a new scientific study. Now from the National Board of Health and Medical Research Australia (Australia's National Health and Medical Research Council).
Scientists analyzed more than 1800 research in the field of homeopathy and only in 225 of them could they find a sufficiently serious approach to studying the problem. A systematic review of these studies has shown that there is no evidence to support the claim that homeopathy is effective in the treatment of diseases.
The Australian study, which is the first serious position based on such an extensive review of medical literature, dealt a final blow to treatment, developed by a German doctor with no interest in detailed pathology, as well as in conventional diagnostics and treatment. This method was developed by Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843) 200 years ago and is now practiced all over the world. And this is despite the fact that there is no evidence base for the effectiveness of homeopathic medicines.
The Washington Post reports that the authors of the study are concerned that people who continue to choose homeopathic medicines instead of evidence-based medicine face real health risks.
Chairman of the National Board of Health and Medical Research Australia told The Guardianthat he hopes the findings will lead to changes in the Australian health and pharmaceutical system. But he also warned that there will be a group of people who will not respond to this report and will say that this is all a conspiracy of scientists.
News about the Australian study followed the article. National Health Interview Survey which describes a small but significant increase in the use of homeopathic medicines from 2012 year.
And recently Canadian Homeopathic College came under fire for his anti-vaccine stance and for recommending homeopathic “microdoses” as an alternative to vaccines.
Will the news that homeopathy is ineffective affect consumers spending their money on alternative medicine? If the homeopathic medicine industry is growing, then the answer is probably no, the journal's author notes. Smithsonian.
But in so doing, the consumer exposes himself and his children to the more serious consequences of diseases, using homeopathic remedies instead of traditional treatment.
