Say it Ain't So: Homeopathy no better than placebo, says Lancet
The team identified 110 trials each of homeopathy and conventional medicine, or allopathy. They used sophisticated statistical analysis to score the results of the studies, with those below 1.0 indicating a beneficial effect of treatment versus inactive placebo.
And we're still wasting money studying this because... oh yeah, because conventional medicine sorta sucks for most problems.
Including the largest trials, which were considered the most reliable, the overall scores were 0.96 for homeopathy and 0.67 for conventional medicine.
Just imagine, all those silly people, trying to get better! What are they thinking?
