The renewed & more vigorous attack on the efficacy of homoeopathy as a curative therapy picked up internationally by the media is nothing but a sinister pogrom by the powerful pharmaceutical corporations the world over. The news and the discussion related to it as quoted from those at UK is only based on a series of events, a part of a decade long series of organized assault against homoeopathy triggered, sponsored and funded by the consortium of such corporations which is the most effected by the global rise in public demand of Homeopathy.
If one is keen on finding the genesis of the present tirade, one would find reported in Guardian-online, over a decade ago, that The Prince of Wales had ordered a leading independent economist to examine whether the use of complementary therapies could save the NHS money. Homeopathy was one among the priorities. A part of the report claimed up to £480m could be cut from the prescription drugs bill if 10% of GP’s offered homoeopathy as an alternative to standard drugs. The report was instantly reacted to by the pharmaceutical industry wherein they turned critical about the Prince. The report was inwww.scotsman.com
The royal family, in a series of public statements had often quoted the importance, advantages and benefits of Homoeopathy, the most sought system of medicine by them since more than a century, as the most economic, reliable and effective treatment and had urged the NHS to take up Homoeopathy more seriously, with more homoeopathic units under it in place of the few which ran at present. The possible impact on UK’s economy was huge by the growth of Homoeopathy which could save millions of pounds each year spent on allopathic medicines, and could be displaced by the use of homoeopathy in a fraction of the illnesses. A serious worry for pharma corporates !
The news pressed the ‘panic button’ and as a sequel Lancet, a leading allopathic journal suddenly come up with an article urging to give up homoeopathy and stating it as medicines which has no drug content and that the outcome as a mere ‘placebo effect’. The interesting observation is that Lancet is known to have always upheld the homoeopathic possibilities, treatment and clinical observations with frequent articles in its previous editions, from its very inception. However, Lancet did succeed in confusing its readers.
For its article, Lancet is known to have conducted drug trials in Homoeopathy. But this time the modes of study and the protocols used were purely those used for the study of allopathic medicines, well connected to the quantitative aspect of the drug with respect to the clinical diagnosis. It was far from the fundamentals of Homeopathy and they tried to prove that Homeopathic medicines are insignificant and carry only a placebo effect. Prominent U.S. scientists strongly rejected findings on homeopathic medicine to be published in the August 27, 2005 edition of the Lancet. They found that they have successfully applied a methodological approach to the articles they reviewed that is highly suitable for drawing conclusions about conventional medicine but is incomplete in evaluating homeopathic medicine. They did not include criteria that would apply to high quality homeopathic research reflecting the nature of homeopathic practice and ita fundamentals.
Furthermore, a single remedy selection for a given conventionally diagnosed condition is not homoeopathy, yet there are numerous conventionally-judged high quality studies that were so designed. Well aware about the different philosophical structure of Homoeopathy, this study was more than deliberate as anyone who know homoeopathy and its philosophic background close knows that the composite symptom structure, the totality, the miasm and the individualizing elements with respect to the patient and the drug-picture are those based on the selection of medicines and not merely the clinical diagnosis or the pathology though they give clues helping prescription. One could compare this to attempting to read a French book in English, considering the fact that the alphabets used are the same !!
With time, the lancet impact did fade away. But those that have come up off late are more vigorous, renewed and more organized assaults and well focused on the Homoeopathy ‘wash away’. Today the detractors have managed to take the antagonistic views to the House of Commons of UK and has further stimulated a situation where BBC is seen reporting that the ministers consider blacklisting of Homeopathy !.
Another totally biased study by NHMRC of Australia inspecting Homeopathy surprisingly had only Allopaths in the team and they ‘easily concluded’ their views on Homeopathy as inefficient from the research papers submitted to them ! Unlike the situation in India which has a highly developed medical education system for Homeopathy, the fact that a sizeable fraction among homeopaths in Australia are not medically trained doctors, including those who represent the system to the NHMRC, had possibly influenced the quality of submission and in turn made the conclusion a lot easier making the cause of Homeopathy weaker in Australia. The news was well picked up by international media tarnishing Homeopathy.
Interestingly, the World Homeopathy Summit – WHS by Global Homeopathy Foundation – GHF held in April at Mumbai in 2015 has exposed dozens of research papers from scientists across 9 countries in molecular biology, nanotechnology, cell-line studies, in-vitro studies, homeo-prophylaxis, phylogenetic trials etc which were taken well by the Indian and global media. The confirmation of presence of nanoparticles or quantum dots in potentized ultra dilutions of Homeopathy openly challenged the avagadro limits opening up new doors into nanopharmacology related to Homeopathy. The papers furthered into early evidence of the possibility of alternations of gene expressions and the epigenetic changes at the genomic levels by the quantum dots which can pervade across the subcellular levels where the conventional drugs act at the molecular levels. This opens up Homeopathy and it’s scope into the future of Internal medicine !
Homoeopathy has had an impact on the per-capita health expenditure in pro-homoeopathic countries where it is well evolved, like in India, Belgium etc. In India we have a well evolved Ministry of AYUSH with Homoeopathy as an integral part under a union minister with extensive reach out of national rural health mission as peripheral homoeopathic clinics apart from state facilities.
The scope of Homeopathy has been largely proven by thousands of clinical studies in almost all the specialties including Allergies, Auto-immune diseases, Psychatric illnesses, Gastro diseases, Renal, Neurologic, Lifestyle diseases, Psycho-somatic diseases, Skin diseases etc. in various countries at NGO and Government levels. In India the Central Council of Research in Homeopathy CCRH has emerged with an array of research works over the past few decades.
Today India is the seat of Homeopathy with the largest mass of Homeopaths across the country and the government patronage at its highest across the world.

While there are lots of mystery of basic science still unsolved, while lots of cosmic particles yet to discover, while we still don’t have any details about black hole or black force/matter, then why homeopathy should have to scrutinized through single theory of science “The Avogadro’s Law” to be a science and/or to be scientifically proved?
There are millions of people all over the world who personally experienced pleasantly surprising miracle of amazing Homeopathy! There are thousands of well documented audio visual recorded cases! Are those entire fake? Are all those placebo effects? Well! If all these are only placebo effects then why any other system of medicine, including most scientific contemporary medicine cannot produce miracle, that happening all the time, around the world, in the practice of Homeopathy?
Still need statistical evidence? Let’s take into account all the case of chronic non communicable disease in the world. Compare the success of each individual system of treatment. Success rate of homeopathy will overthrow all other system of treatment cumulatively. Furthermore, it does not mean that Homeopathy is not better in communicable disease. The patients of communicable diseases are trapped in the blab of modern medicine and corporate business that is why they don’t get chance to come to homeopaths.
All the above fact is well known to many of this world, even the most of the opponent of homeopathy. Even, still they are attacking homeopathy, and have the power to attack homeopathy, it means the main enemy of homeopathy is the time! We are living in a time which is only comparable with the time towards total breakdown before the Renaissance.
Again, regarding the recent attack on Homeopathy in Britain – Let the taxpayer of the Britain decide about homeopathy, have public vote as the best democratic policy. Please don’t let the decision be made in the Parliament, as most of the modern politicians are also businessman!!
