Ma võin täiesti mitteteaduslikult väita, et minu homöopaatia praktikas on 2 halvatud koera […]
Mõni kuu tagasi järeldas Doubtful News alligaatori nõelravi uudise peale, et nn alternatiivravivõtete rakendamine loomade peal on pigem nende väärkohtlemine.

… we found insufficient evidence from these studies that homoeopathy is clearly efficacious for any single clinical condition.

Panen ühe positiivsete teaduskirjanduse ülevaate siia lingina – jah, seal on palju just homoöpaatiale pühendunud ajakirju (pole objektiivsed praeguse teema mõttes), kuid seal on ka teisi ning korralikke metaanalüüse. Üks näide positiivsest platseebo vs homoöpaatia metaanalüüsist:
.
“Meta-analysis of 89 trials of homeopathic medicine versus placebo. Result: significantly in favour of homeopathy (OR 2,45 (95% CI 2,05-2,93)). This meta-analysis included 186 placebo-controlled studies of homeopathy published until mid-1996, of which data for analysis could be extracted from 89. The overall odds ratio was 2.45 (95% confidence intervals 2.05-2.93) in favour of homeopathy, which means that the chances that homeopathy would benefit the patient were 2.45 times greater than placebo. When considering just those trials of high quality published in MEDLINE listed journals, and with predefined primary outcome measures, the pooled odds ratio was 1.97 and significant. Even after correction for publication bias the results remained significant. The main conclusion was that the results “were not compatible with the hypothesis that the effects of homeopathy are completely due to placebo”. If the result of new trials were to show no difference between homeopathy and placebo, we would have to add 923 trials with no effect with 118 patients in each in order to balance the two.

Maailmas on palju asju, mida ka tänapäeva teadus ei suuda seletada, niisiis on vaja ikka avatud meelt
