Homeopathy has become a popular form of CAM, and while it is generally regarded as safe, it has not been proven e!ective. Most scienti\"c professionals mistrust homeopathy due to the lack of scienti\"c rigour and credibility in studies that seek to analyze homeopathic practices; many argue that any positive outcomes may be attributed to the placebo e!ect. While homeopathy cannot replace conventional medicine, the therapeutic e!ects of homeopathic consultation addresses the impersonal nature of traditional medicine. PART 1: HOMEOPATHY LACKS SCIENTIFIC BASIS AND SHOULD NOT REPLACE CONVENTIONAL MEDICINE INTRODUCTION Developed over 200 years ago by German physician Samuel Christian Hahnemann, homeopathy is a form of alternative medicine practice based on belief in “#e Law of Similars” —the idea that a natural substance that causes symptoms in a healthy person can be used to cure the same symptoms in a sick person.1 Several types of homeopathic treatments exist, ranging from auto-isopathy, whereby treatments for ailments stem from the patient’s own body, to classical homeopathy, in which individualized natural remedies are given.2 Physicians are wary of recommending homeopathy and other forms of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) due to a lack of proven e%cacy and long-term risk assessments.3 As the trend towards distrust in the healthcare system and medicine increases, it is important that patients are aware of the risks of pursuing homeopathy in place of traditional pharmacological interventions.4 THE DILUTION EFFECT #ere are several principles of homeopathy that contradict scienti\"c ideology. One such principle is the dilution e!ect, wherein remedies that are more dilute have more potent e!ects. #ese remedies are prepared by diluting a mixture several times, shaking vigorously between each dilution.5 Almost none of the original remedy remains at the end as the dilutions o)en fall below 1 mol/L, the scienti\"cally determined limit for dilutions.6 As such, any e!ects from these treatments would be implausible.7 Hahnemann explained the discrepancy by stating that water is able to change structures to capture the “essence” of the diluted molecule.8 Several studies have attempted to corroborate this claim using techniques such as magnetic imaging and thermoluminescence, but strong conclusions have not been reached.9,10 Since this principle con-icts with scienti\"c knowledge, it is hard for the medical community to consider such an e!ect to be possible, let alone e!ective. For this reason, homeopathy is o)en dismissed as “the ultimate fake,” and “concentrated nonsense.”11,12 Unless convincing research emerges, there is no plausible reason that such heavy dilution would cause any e!ect whatsoever. EFFECTIVENESS Few studies have been able to demonstrate the positive e!ects of homeopathic remedies.
