Hi All,

I will answer some of the posts to-day or to-morrow.

Meanwhile I looked again at Dana's article and found a name I am familiar with. The "oldies" on this list will also be.

Michael Emmans Dean used to post quite a bit on Lyghtforce and other lists. Meanwhile he has become quite renowned as a medical historian. He got the Karls prize (whatever that is - but it is something good) for the Institute of Medical History of the Robert Bosch Stiftung in Stuttgart a few years ago for his dissertation

The Trials of Homeopathy

(Which is what is mentioned in Dana's article)

This dissertation has been published now by the Karl and Veronica Carstens Foundation's publishing house (kvc-Verlag) and can be ordered at
http://www.kvc-verlag.de/katalog/tit...B646659?tid=54

Price: Euro 18.40

Here is what it says on Dana's site about it:

"The Trials of Homeopathy" is the first systematic review of all clinical trials of homeopathy, predominantly in Europe and North America, from its beginnings to the 21st century. Dean shows that homeopathy has a long history of scientifically conducted trials that have not received the recognition they deserve. At a time when the place of homeopathy in a changing health landscape is under discussion, this work provides a valuable historical context.

This book includes a CD-ROM that includes several Appendices that provide details of all clinical trials that were excluded from this review of research (and the reason for their exclusion!), an outline of all controlled trials testing "classical homeopathy," all trials testing "complex homeopathy," all trials testing isopathic homeopathy, all trials that observed any "adverse reactions" to homeopathic medicines (or placeboes), and what the quality of each trial was determined to be (according to specific scoring). Needless to say, this CD-ROM alone is worth of price of this book!

So, all and any of you who are interested in the proof of homeopathy instead of just of potentized remedies should be interested in getting this book.

It is a bargain at Euro 18.40, which is probably only possible because the Robert Carstens Foundation is a non-profit organisation and probably even sponsored the publication (or IGM Bosch did).

I just ordered it myself.

Regards

Luise
