Can anyone link me to any double blind, placebo controlled studies showing that

homeopathic medicines work? Peer reviewed and published, please.

Thanks.
Dr. J. You are an idiot. There is a world of difference between medicines and surgical procedures.
Old Cat Lady: You write "There is no one remedy for "flu", a skin rash, high cholestorol [sic] etc. so it is impossible to set up a study."

Why, then, do I see homeopathic remedies in drug stores claim to cure those precise diseases. For the masses, not for single individuals.

Your argument is hereby rejected.

All those studies are sponsored in part financially by the drug companies and our FDA and they don't do them on homeopathic remedies. There are no such "studies" that are not contaminated in some way by $$$. FDA studies are only done for about six months and of course we have news daily about unfortunate consequences of long-term use of so many of them. Even how drug companies suppress negative information and only publish results which are favorable (many times only marginally, like 40% of any efficacy at all.)

The very nature of homeopathy doesn't really allow such studies. With over 2,000 remedies which have been used for over 100 years it's nearly impossible and not at all feasible to do those studies. A homeopath prescribes a remedy for the INDIVIDUAL - not for large groups of people who have certain symptoms. There is no one remedy for "flu", a skin rash, high cholestorol, etc. so it is impossible to set up a study - in homeopathy you would never have a significant group to test a single remedy.

In veterinary homeopathy one remedy may be used for a herd of sheep, cattle, etc. When you deal with my cat or your dog the veterinary homeopath uses INDIVIDUAL remedies.

I am sure if you question is not sincere and you are just a homeopathic "nag" my explanation won't satisfy you. People who ask such questions just don't know anything about homeopathy and how it works.

there is little to know oversight for natural medicines and homeopathic remedies. they can pretty much say what they want with just a few restrictions, even without much evidence to back it up.
