UK homeopathy study reveals cures are effective in chronic disease cases
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
At Bristol Homeopathic Hospital in the UK, a six-year study has revealed that homeopathic cures proved effective for 70 percent of patients suffering from chronic diseases.
A study carried out at Bristol Homeopathic Hospital, UK, has revealed that more than 70% of patients with chronic diseases said homeopathy helped them feel better.
89% of under 16s who had asthma said homeopathy helped them.
In the same age group, 68% of eczema patients said they felt better after treatment.
Only a few weeks ago another study, carried out by British and Swiss researchers, published in The Lancet, concluded that homeopathy was no better than a placebo.
The term homeopathy comes from the Greek words: homeo, meaning similar and pathos, meaning suffering or disease.
Alternative medical systems are built upon complete systems of theory and practice, and often have evolved apart from and earlier than the conventional medical approach used in the Western World (and much of the rest of the world today).
Homeopathy takes a different approach from conventional medicine in diagnosing, classifying, and treating medical problems.
- Homeopathy seeks to stimulate the body's defense mechanisms and processes so as to prevent or treat illness.
- Treatment involves giving very small doses of substances called remedies that, according to homeopathy, would produce the same or similar symptoms of illness in healthy people if they were given in larger doses.
- Treatment in homeopathy is individualized (tailored to each person).
Homeopathic practitioners select remedies according to a total picture of the patient, including not only symptoms but lifestyle, emotional and mental states, and other factors.
