There are currently more than 5,000 studies on homeopathy available for review on Pubmed, the leading search engine for scientific research. The Results are in – hard facts support Homeopathy, as seen in these brief videos courtesy of MonHomeoMonChoix: 

Want more? Here are just a few of the links to available scientific studies that evaluate the efficacy of Homeopathy. All of them are published in peer-reviewed journals indexed on the NIH database of medical literature, PubMed:

In 1997, The Lancet published a thorough meta-analysis which showed that of 89 clinical trials, 44 reported homeopathy to be significantly more effective than placebo. (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9310601/)

An [Indian study of the treatment of ear infections](http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22226309) showed that homeopathy outweighed conventional treatment. (Sinha MN, et al. Randomized controlled pilot study to compare Homeopathy and Conventional therapy in Acute Otitis Media. Homeopathy 2012 Jan;101(1):5–12). Eighty-one children were randomly assigned to a homeopathically or conventionally treated group. The trial was also “blinded” — neither the parents nor the researchers knew who belonged to which group. Conventional treatment involved use of anti-inflammatories, analgesic, and fever-reducing medicines for three days, followed by antibiotics if the child hadn’t improved by at least 50%. Homeopathic treatment used LM potencies. The results were statistically significant in favor of the homeopathic group, with the odds being less than 1 in 1000 that the findings occurred by chance.

A randomized, double-blind trial comparing homeopathy to Prozac (Fluoxetine) in the treatment of moderate to severe depression took place at a state medical school in Brazil. It found homeopathic treatment comparable to Prozac on all measured parameters (actually, homeopathic treatment was superior on all parameters, though not in a degree rising to “statistical significance”). Additionally, “a higher percentage of patients treated with Fluoxetine reported troublesome side effects.” https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3136538/

A 2007 German prospective study published in the journal Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine found a specific homeopathic product to be comparable (actually slightly more effective) when compared to Ativan (Lorazepam) for the treatment of various nervous conditions (insomnia, distress, anxiety, restless, burnout, etc.) https://www.hindawi.com/journals/ecam/2009/851249/

Another otitis media study can be found at https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11224838/

In 2005, the European Journal of Pediatrics published a study entitled [Homeopathic treatment of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder: a randomised, double blind, placebo controlled crossover trial](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16047154/), which concluded there was “scientific evidence of the effectiveness of homeopathy in the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, particularly in the areas of behavioural and cognitive functions.”
