Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Evidence and efficacy of homeopathy" in English language version.
Within the non-CAM scientific community, homeopathy has long been viewed as a sham
within the traditional medical community it is considered to be quackery
However, homeopathy is not totally devoid of risks… it may delay effective treatment or diagnosis
In summary, our review demonstrates that well-designed and comprehensively reported homeopathic studies in psychiatry are few and far between and preclude firm conclusions about the efficacy of this treatment in any single disorder. The same holds true for safety.
CAM use [in the developing countries this study solely considered] was associated with delay in seeking medical advice (OR: 5.6; 95% CI: 2.3, 13.3) and presentation at an advanced stage of disease
Homeopathy is among the worst examples of faith-based medicine… These axioms [of homeopathy] are not only out of line with scientific facts but also directly opposed to them. If homeopathy is correct, much of physics, chemistry, and pharmacology must be incorrect… To have an open mind about homeopathy or similarly implausible forms of alternative medicine (e.g., Bach Flower remedies, spiritual healing, crystal therapy) is, therefore, not an option
... we agree with previous extensive evaluations concluding that there are no known diseases for which there is robust, reproducible evidence that homeopathy is effective beyond the placebo effect.
