Abstract

The National Health and Medical Research Council's conclusion on homeopathy was not legitimate because it was based on homeopathic trials that lacked homogeneity in their intervention. In some trials the intervention was isopathic. The overview and many previously conducted systematic reviews were exclusively based on randomized controlled trials that comprised only 27% of all clinical studies so far published in homeopathy. It is not rational to leave out the evidence generated through uncontrolled studies if these studies showed consistent results.
