One of the many lines I've seen the anti alt med ppl (ie. Kalos) say is that homeopathy has 0 evidence supporting it in any trials done. I said this was a generalization aimed to suit ones bias, rather than truth, and it's been an ongoing debate.

I was bored so I went to find a study that was ligitimate on homepathy, and this is what I came across

"Homeopathic medicines are high dilutions of natural substances
such as plants, minerals, and animals. In the most significant and
comprehensive review of homeopathic research ever
conducted, The Lancet (September 20, 1997) published a metaanalysis
of 89 blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical
trials and concluded that the homeopathic medicines in the
studies had a 2.45 times greater effect than placebo."
*keep in mind placebo does a decent ammount by itself.

Is that a fabrication, or what are the implications otherwise?

Hey there... I'm planning on going to Bastyr to get my N.D. and I was wondering if anyone (Maybe a previous graduate or ND) could tell me what related work will be useful. I just completed the first semester of my junior year, and was wondering if someone had ideas for what work might be related (and ideally paid).

Thanks!

I foud out resently that my adrenals are weak and exhasted from the extreme stress I have been under this past 2 years or so.

I just need any ideas that may work for my body. I have found that the more options I have, the more chance I have of finding something that works for me. I like to understand the hows and whys if posible.

I have rebuilt my colon, liver, and stengthened my heart, lungs, kidneys, spleen, and stomach, so I know it is possible.

I have allergies to anything that is not from plants or animals. Drugs cause problems, like pain pills cause pain, antibotics cause the infection to grow or to go dorment to be handled later. Even minerals I have a problems with if the are sulfate, sulfite, sulphite, or phosphate. Even the homeopathic forms if sulfites.

At this time of year my daughter always takes such a bad cough and cold, but I hate giving her medication every four hours (ie paracetamol and cough medicine), so I was just wondering if there was anything more natural that I could use. Her temperature is always very high and she coughs so bad that she makes herself sick, I have been to the doctors in the past and all they offer me is more paracetamol, more cough bottle and anti-biotics if it goes on too long. Thanks in advance for any help.
