Homeopathy can treat chronic pain, but researchers don't know how

Homeopathy, a medical approach that uses the theory of "like cures like" to cure chronic pain, is not accepted by researchers as valid treatment because it defies the laws of physics and chemistry. For example, a Canadian homeopath treated a woman with chronic burning leg and foot pain by giving her very small doses of a remedy containing a substance she was allergic to. The woman's pain went away and her energy improved, but since researchers cannot understand how the same substance that hurts a person can help them, they generally do not accept homeopathy as a real treatment.
