Very little is known about the range of diagnoses, course of treatment, and long-term outcome in elderly patients who choose to receive homeopathic medical treatment.
Until now.
Medical researchers recently investigated homeopathic practices in Germany and Switzerland to understand the effect of homeopathic care on older patients. Their conclusions: “The severity of disease showed marked and sustained improvements under homeopathic treatment. . . . Our findings might indicate that homeopathic medical therapy may play a beneficial role in the long-term care of older adults with chronic diseases and studies on comparative effectiveness are needed to evaluate this hypothesis."
