Why the Researchers Can't Agree About Homeopathic Medicine?

By Greg Cooper

For decades, researchers have been arguing about their conflicting results when they investigate homeopathic medicine. I point out in my 2010 article, which is still relevant today, that the reason for the disagreements is that the researchers usually use randomised, double blinded clinical trials, and I make the case that this type of test is not suitable for homeopathy, because these tests track only a very small number of variables, while homeopathy affects a wide array of mental and physical health issues at the same time.

  I propose a way around this problem is to use a different type of study called an 'outcome study', which measures overall outcomes rather than specific variables. These have been used on a small scale.
