Homeopathy fails in asthma study
April 01, 2003

HOMEOPATHIC treatment has no effect on childhood asthma, a disease that is attaining near-epidemic proportions in the developed world, according to a new study.

Doctors in soutwestern England enrolled 93 children, aged five to 15 years, who used inhalers and other conventional medication to ease their asthma, which was rated mild to moderate.

In addition to this treatment, the volunteers then saw a trained homeopath, who saw each child at last six times during the next year.

The children were given either homeopathic remedies or a harmless lookalike and neither the children nor the homeopaths knew who received which remedy.

After 12 months, the children and their parents filled in a questionnaire about their quality of life, with questions on frequency of symptoms and days off school, as well as more technical data such as adverse reactions and airflow from the lungs.
