Scientific Studies Prove the Effectiveness of Homeopathy for Acute Diarrhea
Jacobs J, Jiminez J, Gloyd SG, et al. “Treatment of Acute Childhood Diarrhoea with Homoeopathic Medicine.” Paediatrics, May, 1994 93, 5, 719-725.
In a randomised, placebo controlled trial with 81 children suffering from acute diarrhoea, individually prescribed homoeopathic medicines were found to be superior to placebo.
Jacobs J, Jimenez M, Malthouse S, Chapman E, Crothers D, Masuk M, Jonas WB. “Acute Childhood Diarrhoea- A Replication.” Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, 6, 2000, 131-139.
In a replication of a previous trial carried out by Jacobs and others, 116 Nepalese children aged 6 months to 5 years suffering from diarrhoea were given an individualised homoeopathic medicine or placebo over a 5 day period. Results assessed at the end of this period showed homeopathy to be superior to placebo as a means of relieving diarrhoea.
Jacobs J, Jonas WB, Jimenez-Perez M, Crothers D. “Homeopathy for childhood diarrhea: combined results and meta-analysis from three randomized, controlled clinical trials.” Pediatr Infect Dis J. 2003 Mar;22(3):229-34.
In this meta-analysis (an analysis carried out to determine overall trends in a group of similar studies) three double blind clinical trials of diarrhoea in 242 children aged 6 months to 5 years were analysed as one group. The children received either an individualised homeopathic medicine or a placebo, for 5 days after each unformed stool. Records were kept by parents and the duration of diarrhoea was defined as the time until there were less than 3 unformed stools per day for 2 consecutive days. Diarrhoea ceased in those taking homeopathic medicines after 3.3 days and after 4.1 days in those using placebo.
