“YES THERE IS RESEARCH, BUT NO EXPERIMENTS ON ANIMALS” Homoeopathic remedies are tested on people, not on animals .Group of volunteers under supervision take a safe dose, of a substance prepared as a homeopathic remedy, repeatedly over a period of time until they produce a range of symptoms .These symptoms of the proving” are carefully recorded precisely in two types of homeopathic reference books the material medica and repertory as well as on computer. This information is then used to prescribe a remedy for a patient with same symptoms according to Law of Similars (that makes sick shall heal) There is much precision involved both in testing and prescribing them. Collective experience reinforce the understanding of their curative action and because of the way in which they are prescribed they are not made redundant (as are many chemical drugs) by ‘new’ or drug resistant bacteria and viruses. |
