FAVORIT I REPRIS Franske virologen Luc Montagnier chockade sina kollegor på en konferens, genom att säga att han kanske hade kommit på mekanismen hur homeopati fungerar.

Dr. Luc Montagnier, the French virologist who won the Nobel Prize in 2008 for discovering the AIDS virus, has surprised the scientific community with his strong support for homeopathic medicine.

The children treated with homeopathy had equal or better results than those treated with corticosteroids. More intriguing is that those children whose conditions were worse at the beginning of the study had greater degrees of improvement with the homeopathic treatment.

Homeopathy really does work and doctors should recognise its healing effects, say researchers. A study found that allergy sufferers who were given homeopathic treatment were ten times more likely to be cured than those given a dummy pill instead.

Den franske forskaren Jacques Benveniste hade med sin forskning på antikroppar, kommit fram till att vatten har ett minne. Det gick till så att han spädde och skakade ett allergiframkallande ämne, så mycket att inga ursprungsmolekyler fanns kvar. Trots detta reagerade antikropparna som om de blev "allergiska"

FACULTY OF HOMEOPATHY Between 1950 and 2009, 142 randomised controlled trials (RCTs) in homeopathy have been reported. This represents research in 74 different medical conditions. Of these 142 trials, 63 were positive, 11 negative and 68 non-conclusive

Homeopatisk medicin gjord på metaller som till exempel guld, silver, koppar och järn behåller sin kraft även efter när lösningen är så spädd att inga molekyler finns kvar av ursprungsmaterien, visar forskning från Bombay.

Using market samples of metalderived medicines from reputable manufacturers, we have demonstrated for the first time by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), electron diffraction and chemical analysis by Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-AES), the presence of physical entities in these extreme dilutions, in the form of nanoparticles of the starting metals and their aggregates

”Trots att rökningens skadeverkningar konstaterades redan på 1950-talet lyckades cigarettindustrin i decennier förhala åtgärder – genom skrämsel, smutskastning och överexponering av svaga länkar”, skriver Nina Wormbs i sin under-strecket-artikel på SvD.

In a recently published article in the open access journal 'Evidence Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine' researchers compared the responses of homeopathy users and users of other forms of CAM in pediatric oncology in Germany. The study concludes that homeopathy is the most frequently used CAM treatment in Germany
