Because the basic concepts are totally different!



Conventional medicine either treats and make disappear symptoms or is very
happy when numbers go back to a statistical normality: "normal" blood
pressure, blood sugar, behaviour, whatever, end of the treatment until next
named disease appears.



Homeopathy (and Herbalism, and Acupuncture, and others) consider a person
who happens to have one or more of those "abnormalities" as part of a
reaction mode or behavioural mode, so those named diseases are only a
fragment of everything that has to be addressed. Sometimes those fragments
are life threatening and must be solved before going further, but this would
only be one or the first step in the cure.



Conventional drugs do the work for the patient. Remedies give the impulse to
the patient's own physiology to do the work.



Light-years apart!



The only possible comparison is populations treated by either mode
exclusively and how they fare in the long term.

WHy does nobody say that for a really correct trial you would need to

Find a large number of people HAVING THE SAME DISEASE (to assure the

Standard of action, that is to permit a resonably good comparison with

Control - placebo) and NEEDING THE SAME REMEDY at the same time. This,

Given that any homeopath will say that the frequency of prescribing the

Same remedy even for people with different sort of complaints is not

Quite high to say the least - this is something that is being dismissed

As far as I was able to ready any discussions, - is something it would

Be very difficult to do without support from a large number of

Homeopaths, maybe, or in any case, something rather difficult to deal

With.



For obvious ethical reasons you would not want to suppress the

Condition in people with a superficially "similar" but unindicated

Remedy, if you are familiar with the homeopathic method enough to see

This?
