PATIENTS OF HOMEOPATHS ARE IN THE BEST PHYSICAL SHAPE AND USE LESS MEDICATION
In a large study of 8559 patients, people with upper respiratory tract infections treated by GPs trained in homeopathy, did as well clinically as those treated with conventional medicine, but used fewer conventional drugs.
Patients with Musculoskeletal disorders treated with homeopathy did as well clinically as those treated with conventional medicine, but used only half the amount of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and had fewer NSAID-related side effects
Patients with sleep, anxiety and depressive disorders treated by certified homeopathic physicians were less likely to be prescribed psychotropic drugs.
The EPI3 study was a cross-sectional survey combining unique data from patients and GPs, covering the majority of diseases. The EPI3 was conducted nationwide in France. Its aims were to assess the burden of diseases in general practice, considering the physicians' work activity, patients' characteristics, morbidity and prescriptions.
GPs were randomly selected from the French national directory of physicians and invited to participate, which meant also allowing a trained research assistant to conduct a 1-day survey in the waiting room at the doctor's practice. GPs' sampling was stratified according to the diversity of medicine practices in the country (conventional and complementary medicine such as homeopathy).
The authors of this study include Lucien Abenhaim – the French General Director of Health (Surgeon General) – and individuals from respected academic institutions such as the Institut Pasteur in Paris, University of Bordeaux and McGill University, Montreal.
