Homeopathy helps with lung cancer—or does it? Discussion demanded by holistic practitioners


In the May 2021 issue of its newsletter “Consilium,” the Lower Austrian Medical Association published a circular from GAMED (Vienna International Academy for Holistic Medicine) that was sent to all state medical associations, in which GAMED calls for more support for pseudomedicine and more serious, professional dialogue on this topic

In 2020, a study was published which concluded that additional treatment with homeopathic remedies helps patients with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer achieve a better quality of life and longer survival.

This was an opportunity to take a closer look at the above-mentioned study in a working group together with the German Information Network on Homeopathy. Continue to the critique of the study:
