National Board of Health and Medical Research in Australia conducted appropriate studies and analyzed the effect of homeopathic medicines. Moreover, experts work took place in two stages:
· First, the expert commission has thoroughly studied all the available literature on homeopathy and has made a preliminary report;
· I have been invited to cooperate practicing homeopaths, who were asked to provide evidence for the study of the effectiveness of their treatment techniques.
"The Committee evaluated all studies on the subject of quality of scientific methodology. We considered only the works of high methodological quality, and only those studies where there were control groups, that is, where a homeopathic remedy compared with drug pacifier. The analysis included 57 systematic reviews of homeopathy, 176 individual studies on the 61 diseases. "
The share was posted a report of the expert committee on the effectiveness of homeopathic funds - This is done so that everyone can carefully examine it and draw conclusions for the already myself. That's the conclusion is:
there is not a single disease that homeopathy treats better than a dummy.Then the question arises - how to be with people who are treated exclusively with homeopathic remedies and convince the resulting effect? Accuse them of lying?
This PhD Alexander Panchin gives clear answers:
"Many personally know people who were ill, and after a course of homeopathy recovered. I also know people - and do not suspect them of lying. The problem is that such evidence enough of what they say, and it is connected with a number of errors, inherent in our thinking, as well as by the existence of alternative explanations for the apparent efficiency Homeopathy.
1. Error survivor. When praise homeopathy, we hear the voices of those who have recovered, but do not hear the voices of those who are not lucky. That is why you need to compare a group of people who received homeopathy, and a group of people that homeopathy did not get to understand whether there is objective improvement, drug-related.
2. After not mean due. If the cock crowed, and then the sun came up, does this mean that the sun has risen thanks to the rooster? Of course not. Recovery after receiving homeopathic preparation does not mean that the drug helped. Man could recover himself, the good is often the case.
3. Reversion to the mean. For human health condition is normal. Many diseases are themselves due to the action of the immune system. Rarely, but there are times when, without any specific treatment are even very serious diseases, such as cancer.
4. Placebo effect. If a person is sure that he receives an effective means, in response to the expectation of improving the well-being of his brain can distinguish endorphins. And they actually improve health and alleviate pain. In this case, it does not matter what is in the preparation.
5. Some homeopathic products may contain ingredients that are not listed on the packaging. For example, recently in a number of homeopathic medicines discovered the antibiotic penicillin. Such formulations may work, but can also have undesirable side effects, which are thus hidden from the patient. "
