 Bibliography: Homeopathy (827 records)
Homeopathic medicine cures in as much as it depicts the disease of the sick body as an external object which is, at the same time, similar to the illness itself.
The most popular form of alternative medicine was chiropractic (21.1% and 26.4%, respectively), followed by homoeopathy/naturopathy (18.8% and 12.7%, respectively), acupuncture (9.4% and 10.9%, respectively), and herbal medicine (4.7% and 6.4%, respectively), while the remainder (20.3% and 11.8% respectively) was distributed among iridology, osteopathy, hypnosis, faith healing and megavitamin therapy.
Since official medicine is well aware of the scientific basis and favourable results of placebo treatment in psychosomatic and self-limiting diseases, it does not appear necessary to integrate varieties of alternative medicine into graduate and postgraduate medical training.
