Homeopathy No Better Than Placebo - Study

A recent paper published in the Lancet cliams that homeopathy works no better than placebos at treating illness. I would tend to agree with those conclusions. I've never been a fan of homeopathy so I can't say I was sorry to see these headlines today. I find it unfortunate that homeopathy gets thrown along with proven therapies such as nutrition and exercise when people talk about alternative health treatments. For more information on my experience, see my web site pages page on my experience with homeopathy.

I took my some to a homeopathic doctor out of sheer desperation one time when he had some unusual health issues our regular and even holistic doctors could not figure out. I spent a signifivant amount of time and money on the appointment and I thought it was a complete waste. The "remedy" never helped one bit.
