Homeopathy and clinical research

Homeopathy and clinical research


Now a day’s all pharmaceutical companies are doing clinical research medicine. They are according with their principles and practice of medicine. And they are doing research in other alternative systems of medicine. But with that they are getting opposite results to those systems. Why?

In homeopathy we have certain principle to treat the diseased persons.

The homeopathic principles are

• Law of Similia
• Law of Simplex
• Law of Minimum
• Doctrine of Drug Proving
• Theory of Chronic Disease
• Theory of Vital Force
• Doctrine of Drug-Dynamisation

But in clinical research work on homeopathy they are not considering these principles. For example when we take one disease like asthma they are giving homeopathic drugs randomizing and blinding way. But according to homeopathic principles we have to individualize every patient according with his symptoms. For this reason they are not getting positive results.
In homeopathy when we want to do research as per principles we have to individualize every patient and not to take as disease aspects it will not give any positive results and when we take disease aspect give one remedy and collect all the symptoms and compare with previous symptoms list.

Take lab results as prognostic way. In homeopathy don’t take placebo control trials. It will not give positive results. Because when we give placebo it will not produce symptoms in patients so it will not give any data.
