Abstract
Homeopathy and Nanopharmacology : A Review of the Conventional Medical Literature
Homeopathic medicine is a controversial system of medicine that has been used worldwide for 200 years. Drawing from research in the material sciences and in nano-scale technologies, discussion about viable means by which homeopathic nanodoses can create physiological responses and influence gene expression is provided. This review of controlled clinical trials only discusses studies that were published in conventional medical and scientific peer-review journals. A critical review of five leading meta-analyses is provided. The meta-analyses that are most critical of homeopathy are found to have significant flaws in their methodology and analysis. The most recent meta-analysis showed that there are a small number of clinical trials with a low risk of bias that verify efficacy. The impressive safety profile of homeopathic medicines is reviewed with a special acknowledgement for it representing the epitome the Hippocratic command to “first, do no harm.
