AB: OBJECTIVE.: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a homeopathic gel vs an NSAID (piroxicam) gel in the treatment of osteoarthritis of the knee. METHOD.: One hundred and eighty-four out-patients with radiographically confirmed symptomatic osteoarthritis of the knee were entered into a pragmatic, randomized, double-blind controlled trial and treated with 1 g of gel three times daily for 4 weeks. Main outcome measures were pain on walking as a Visual Analogue Score (VAS) and a single-joint Ritchie index. RESULTS.: One hundred and seventy-two of the 184 enrolled patients had endpoints for the main outcome parameters. The pain reduction was 16.5 mm VAS in the homeopathy group (n = 86) and 8.1 mm in the piroxicam group (n = 86); the difference between treatment groups was 8.4 mm (95% confidence interval 0.8-15.9), and after adjustment for pain at baseline it was 6.8 mm (95% confidence interval -0.3 to 13.8). There was no significant difference between treatment groups in the single-joint Ritchie index (P = 0.78). Adverse events occurred in 28 patients (12 homeopathy group, 5 withdrawn; 16 piroxicam group, 9 withdrawn); 18 of the events involved a local reaction (7 homeopathy group, 2 withdrawn; 11 piroxicam group, 5 withdrawn). CONCLUSION.: The homeopathic gel was at least as effective and as well tolerated as the NSAID gel. The presence of a clinically relevant difference between treatment groups cannot be excluded. The homeopathic gel supplemented by simple analgesics if required may provide a useful treatment option for patients with osteoarthritis.

AB: Most of the studies related to the use of unconventional methods of therapy by cancer patients have been carried out in the developed countries. This study was conducted to ascertain the frequency, type, and duration of use of unconventional methods of therapy by cancer patients in Pakistan. We also wanted to identify individuals who are most likely to use these methods and to compare the findings with those reported from the developed countries. Between 1 April and 30 May 1994, all patients with histologically proven cancer who visited the oncology unit were interviewed. A printed questionnaire with questions and options was used as an interview guide. Informed consent was obtained. One hundred and ninety-one patients were interviewed, on average, for 25 minutes each. Use of unconventional methods of therapy by cancer patients was widespread (54.5% of all patients). The majority (83.7%) were influenced by family members to use these methods. Traditional herbal medicines (70.2%) and homeopathy (64.4%) were the most commonly employed methods. Thirty-six percent of the users employed these methods before receiving any conventional therapy. Only 15% used these methods after conventional therapeutic options had been exhausted. Patients generally perceived these methods as useful, non-toxic and inexpensive. Age, marital status, socio-economic background, education level and status of underlying neoplasm did not influence the frequency of use of unconventional methods. The use, however, was influenced by gender, family size, and type of underlying malignancy. Patients aware of their diagnosis were less likely to use these methods. This study suggests that use of unconventional methods by cancer patients in Pakistan is widespread. Unlike western countries, these methods are often employed before receiving any conventional therapy. This probably results in a significant delay which can be expected to adversely influence the subsequent disease management and survival. Public education, reduction of cost and easy availability of conventional therapy may be helpful in reducing the use of methods which otherwise may have no proven value.

AB: OBJECTIVE: To establish, using a systematic review and meta-analysis, whether there is any evidence from randomised controlled clinical trials of the efficacy of homeopathic treatment in patients with any disease. DATA SOURCES: Published and unpublished reports of controlled clinical trials available up to June 1998, identified by searching bibliographic databases (Medline, Embase, Biosis, PsychInfo, Cinahl, British Library Stock Alert Service, SIGLE, Amed), references lists of selected papers, hand searching homeopathic journals and conference abstracts, and contacting pharmaceutical companies. TRIALS SELECTION: Trials were selected using an unblinded process by two reviewers. The selection criteria were randomised, controlled trials in which the efficacy of homeopathic treatment was assessed relative to placebo in patients using clinical or surrogate endpoints. Prevention trials or those evaluating only biological effects were excluded. One hundred and eighteen randomised trials were identified and evaluated for inclusion. Sixteen trials, representing 17 comparisons and including a total of 2,617 evaluated patients, fulfilled the inclusion criteria. DATA EXTRACTION: Data were extracted by two reviewers independently, using a summary form. Disagreements were resolved by a third person. DATA SYNTHESIS: The evidence was synthesised by combining the significance levels (P values) for the primary outcomes from the individual trials. The combined P value for the 17 comparisons was highly significant P = 0.000036. However, sensitivity analysis showed that the P value tended towards a non-significant value (P = 0.08) as trials were excluded in a stepwise manner based on their level of quality. CONCLUSIONS: There is some evidence that homeopathic treatments are more effective than placebo; however, the strength of this evidence is low because of the low methodological quality of the trials. Studies of high methodological quality were more likely to be negative than the lower quality studies. Further high quality studies are needed to confirm these results.

AB: Neoplastic diseases are now among the most commonly seen conditions. Orthodox, non-surgical approaches, including chemotherapy and radiotherapy, have variable results, but many adverse affects that limit their use. These are sometimes the direct cause of death. More patients are choosing alternative treatments, mainly the homeopathic and herbal-nutrition approach. Homeopathy does not have highly effective remedies for cancer in its literature, and has been limited to palliating the adverse effects of chemo/radiotherapy. Research into substances that can produce neoplastic diseases (carcinogens), may lead to them being used to treat the cancer they cause, according to the principle of similarity. I have used ultra-low doses (1 x 10(-10) to 10(-12) molar) of chemical carcinogens for 3-24 months, which have been given to cancer patients, usually in conjunction with conventional treatment. Using this procedure, complete remission or life extension has been achieved for some cancer cases. Three clinical cases are presented: a man with undifferentiated lung cancer; a child with an astrocytoma and a woman with leiomyosarcoma.

AB: Nux vomica 30c, 200c and 1000c were administered orally to three batches of albino mice for three days. Six hours after the last dose on the third day the mice were injected i.p. with ethanol 4g/kg body wt. They lost their righting reflex and lay motionless apparently sleeping due to alcohol. Mice treated with three potencies of Nux vomica regained their righting reflex more quickly than the corresponding untreated controls. Each of the three batches of mice was tested twice for ethanol sedation, once with a potency of Nux vomica and another time with a placebo control. The time interval between drug treatment and control was 10 days. NMR spectra of Nux 30, Nux 200, Nux 1000, alcohol 30, alcohol 30 (unagitated) and 90% alcohol showed significant difference from each other with respect to the spin-lattice relaxation time (T1) of the deuterium nuclei. This gives a measurable physical basis of the effective high potencies of Nux vomica.
