A meta-analysis of 89 controlled trials found that the effects of homeopathy could not be fully explained by the placebo effect, BUT failed to demonstrate effectiveness for ANY SINGLE clinical condition (K Linde et al, Lancet, 350:834, 1997) Controlled trials using homeopathic preparations have FAILED to demonstrate effectiveness in: migraine (TE Whitmarsh et al, Cephalalgia, 17:600, 1997) muscle soreness (AJ Vickers et all, Clin J Pain, 14:227, 1998) or prevention of upper respiratory infections in children (ESM de Lange de Klerk et al, BMJ, 309:1329, 1994). One trial reported effectiveness of a homeopathic drug in treating influenza symptoms during an epidemic; it was NOT shown that all patients had the same infection (JP Ferley et al, Br J Clin Pharmacol, 27:329, 1989) A meta-analysis of 11 clinical trials found a homeopathic drug more effective than placebo for allergic rhinitis, BUT none of the studies used a positive control such as an antihistamine (R Ludtke and M Wiesenauer, Wien Med Wochenschr, 147:323, 1997). A double-blind trial in 119 patients with vertigo found that a homeopathic remedy was as effective as betahistine, a histamine analog not available in the US, in reducing the frequency, duration and intensity of vertigo attacks, BUT did not include a placebo control (M Weiser et al, Arch Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg, 124:879, 1998) My 0.02 worth! I showed you mine, now show me yours. RAINBOWPED@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 9, 1999 Report Share Posted March 9, 1999 You want me to show you mine? When pigs fly dear boy--------------------- I'm getting bored. Can we return to RLS please? Have you heard of anything newer than Mirapex that's being used to relieve our awful malady? Hal White seems to be having a tough time with Mirapex and just when I was going to list it as my next try after the Permax wears off. CHEERS!!

Guest guest Posted March 9, 1999 Report Share Posted March 9, 1999 Jeanne, Hal and those interested, I take Requp (Jeanne asked for suggestions other than Mirapex) and have had excellent results. I'm certainly not suggesting that anyone should take this, just relating my experience. Questions - ? I'll be happy to answer what I can.
