The Evidence for Homeopathy
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Skepticism regarding homeopathy is based on the belief that there is no evidence to support its efficacy and that any effect is just a placebo because it can’t work according to laws of physics and chemistry. However, when considering all of the facts, there is sufficient evidence to conclude that homeopathy does have biological effects in-vitro and in-vivo and can be a viable therapeutic modality. The question is not whether or not there is evidence, this would be an all-or-none scheme, and as such, a false proposition; the issue is what type of evidence there is and its quality; it is not about whether or not there is an ideal set of evidence, but whether there is any evidence at all; there is, as well shall review.
