Homeopathy wins in test with medicine

Homeopathy has been proved more successful

and cost-effective than conventional

medicine in the first comparison of the

two approaches.

Proof of its effectiveness has emerged

from an extensive study of its use in

treating chronic disorders such as back

pain. The study ignored the question

of how homeopathy might work and

focused on how well it performs.

Researchers in Germany recruited more

than 400 adults and children with

long-term health problems ranging from

sinusitis to insomnia and depression.

Half were treated using conventional

therapy; the other half were treated

homeopathically. After six months,

the condition of the patients treated

homeopathically had improved

significantly more, and more quickly,

than the others while the cost for

each was similar.
