The Lancet just published a study claiming that homeopathy doesn't work beyond a placebo-effect. (The Lancet, Vol. 366, 27. Aug. 2005) Anyone with medical knowlegde here who can evaluate this study?
Reply to above
Children and Animals aren't effected by the concept of a Placebo. It would be interesting to see if there is any studies proving homeopathy this way. IMO, the best proof is direct experience though. I grew up using homeopathy (there were times i did have to use conventional medicine, but only a handful of times). In my experience, homeopathy worked.
Now, because it doesn't fit into someones modeltheistic view, thats another thing. They could say that i am super malleable and suggestable to placebo. Yet, they aren't in my nervous system, they cant know for sure. -Kunda 19:15, 13 Sep 2005 (CEST)
Maybe Homeopathy could also be explained by that Morphogenetic fields theory by Rupert Sheldrake ? mutante 20:30, 13 Sep 2005 (CEST)
