Homeopathy Doesn't Help Asthma

According to a report in the British Medical Journal last month, homeopathy offers no real benefits to asthma sufferers.

242 asthmatics with known allergies to the house dust mite were given a homeopathic remedy or a placebo. According to the researchers at Southampton General Hospital, England, homeopathy fared no better than the placebo in improving lung function or quality of life.

The results are in contrast with several recent studies, which suggest homeopathic treatment can be effective in dealing with hayfever, asthma, allergies and perennial rhinitis.

A spokesperson from Bromley Health Management commented:

"Homeopathy can be effective in treating a range of conditions, but I wouldn't have expected one standard remedy to have an effect on so many people with a condition as complex as asthma".

A homeopath treats the person, not the condition. After a series of consultations, I would recommend a combination of remedies to suit a particular person with their own unique set of conditions. There is no cure-all remedy and homeopathy doesn't work for everybody".

Dr Peter Fisher of the Royal London Homeopathic Hospital also disagrees with the way the study was conducted; "This study is contradictory. This is not homeopathy as it is normally practised".
