Homöopathie hilft nichts

Auch wenn es bisher nur ein Entwurf ist, ist es dennoch sehr aufschlussreich, was australische Forscher bei National Health and Medical Research Council über Homöopathie zu berichten haben:

There were no health conditions for which there was reliable evidence that homeopathy was effective. No good-quality, well-designed studies with enough participants for a meaningful result reported either that homeopathy caused greater health improvements than a substance with no effect on the health condition (placebo), or that homeopathy caused health improvements equal to those of another treatment.

• For some health conditions, homeopathy was found to be not more effective than placebo.
• For other health conditions, some studies reported that homeopathy was more effective than placebo, or as effective as another treatment, but those studies were not reliable.
• For the remaining health conditions it was not possible to make any conclusion about whether homeopathy was effective or not, because there was not enough evidence.

To be confident that the health benefits of homeopathy that were reported in some studies were not just due to chance or the placebo effect, they would need to be confirmed by other large, well-designed studies.
