Physicians who use homeopathic medicines claim that they are effective in treating ear infections, but no scientific studies have been done to prove or disprove this. Our study is a collaboration between The Washington School of Public Health and Community Medicine, Wallingfor Pediatrics, and members of the local homeopathic community. The study will take place during the ten week period of January 15 to March 22, 1996. If your child becomes ill with symptoms of an ear infection during this time, we would like you to consider joining the study. All children in the study will receive free ear examination, homeopathic evaluation, study mediciation, and follow-up ear exam with tympanogram.
Enrollment is on a walk-in basis, so no appointment is necessary.
We believe that this study could have a significant impact on the treatment of ear infections nationwide and appreciate your cooperation. Studies such as this one will help to establish the credibility of homeopathy in the United States, so if you know parents in the Seattle region please alert them to this opportunity.
