[post_content] => Dr Clare Relton, an honorary fellow of the Society and a senior lecturer in clinical trials at Queen Mary University London, was one of the five international keynote speakers at the Homeopathy Research Institute’s fourth International Research Conference in London in June.
Clare’s presentation centred on randomised controlled trials and asked if they could actually prove that homeopathy worked.
She explored how trials were designed and established to help patients, clinicians and homeopaths make informed decisions, particularly within economic, political and cultural contexts.
The conference featured more than 30 presentations by 35 top academics and 48 poster presentations.
Research categories included clinical research (studies involving patients) with a range of trial designs, including pragmatic, RCT and observational trial designs; agrohomeopathy and veterinary homeopathy; cell and plant-based research (laboratory based studies); and fundamental and basic research (laboratory-based studies, including water science).
They included a study involving Magellanic penguins who, after becoming stranded off the coast of Brazil on their migration route, were often sent to rescue centres and zoos if they were unable to be returned to the wild.
Once there, they were kept in penguinariums where antifungal cleaning agents were detrimental to their liver health. After homeopathic remedies were used to treat the penguins, lab results showed clear improvement in their liver enzyme counts, without the significant side effects of the drugs normally administered to the birds.
“The Homeopathy Research Institute’s remit is in no small part to offer a counterpoint to those who claim that ‘there is no evidence’,” said Suse Moebius, Society board member, who was one of several Society representatives at the conference.
“The weekend offered a great overview and celebration of the ever-increasing body of clear, incontrovertible evidence base for homeopathy, and the high level of academic achievement worldwide, in spite of chronic underfunding."
