NUMEROUS double blinded placebo controlled
tests gave POSITIVE results for Homeopathy
applied to various illnesses in
MANY scientific journals, even non-Homeopathic
ones.
Here... perhaps you do not read well,
let me spell it out for you,
and HAPPY READING! Come back in a month
or two once you've learned something:
http://nationalcenterforhomeopathy.org/articles/introductory.jsp
And here is some nice research all spelled out for you!
Just remember, in case your puny little mind can't handle the
possibility of real research,
you actually have to read and think instead
of jumping to conclusions!
It has research, even research in
"official" standard medicine journals
(wow!) such as:
Bell IR, Lewis DA, 2nd, Brooks AJ et al. Improved clinical status in
fibromyalgia patients treated with individualized homeopathic remedies
versus placebo. Rheumatology 2004b; 43 (5):577-82.
What follows is, of course, just a sample
of what's out there, for those that
are not AFRAID to look!
