The Lancet Can Be Wrong

A few years ago the Lancet published a meta-analysis of Homeopathic trials which claimed to show that Homeopathy is ineffective. Most people within the Homeopathic community were appalled to see how poorly the trials were chosen for this analysis.

There is a bias in medical publications against publishing anything that may prove that Homeopathy works. Often only those papers showing that homeopathy fails are published. In most of these trials Homeopathy is shown to be ineffective because they lack the individualization essential to proper homeopathic prescribing.

The following link takes you to a press release regarding 2 recent studies explaining that the Lancet paper was flawed.
