Homeopathy Rising:
A Deep Introduction to Earth’s Fastest Growing Medicine
This project began as a very short booklet, intended to be given away to curious newcomers. My goal was to keep it under ten pages. But it kept getting longer and longer, because there was always more to say. It seemed like every time I tried to do a final, FINAL proofread, several more pages appeared. The two weeks I meant to give it became six months. Eventually I realized that I had to let it grow up and move out. The whole point was to share the ideas with other people!
But it’s still useful to have a very brief overview, so that original version is still available on my healthcare website. You can find it here, along with links to many interesting articles and other resources.
Homeopathy Research
In recent decades research has accelerated around the world, due to the extraordinary advances in technology. This image is one of a set from a landmark 2024 study which gave the world the first transmission electron microscope (TEM) images of the complex nanostructures formed by homeopathic remedies in an aqueous solution. Shown here is Aurum metallicum in 200c potency.
Research falls into two broad categories: fundamental research studies the makeup and physiological effects of homeopathic medicines. Clinical research collects data on the outcomes of homeopathy in practice.
Americans for Homeopathy Choice is an excellent place to start learning about the clinical results of homeopathic care.
For more technical scientific studies, try the International Journal of High Dilution Research and Homeopathy Research Institute.
The truth is sometimes these databases are not easy to navigate, especially if you’re not accustomed to the research world. In the bibliography below you’ll find links to many carefully selected individual studies about homeopathy and other relevant medical topics.
