From the Canadian Coalition for Homeopathy
Conducting double-blind randomized controlled trials (RCTs) is difficult, even in the allopathic medical system. Doing so within the paradigm of classical homeopathy is even more challenging. More than thirty years of experience in carrying out such trials has taught me much about the pitfalls to avoid as well as the factors that can lead to success. With examples from my own body of research, I will discuss some of the things that I wish I had done differently, as well as those that turned out well. Homeopathic research is held to a much higher standard than conventional trials. Any flaws in study design, implementation, and analysis can be used by critics to negate the results. I am hopeful that the next generation of homeopathic researchers will learn from my experiences and carry on with great success.
