Following three years of unsuccessful conventional treatment, a 55 year old male suffering from common migraine which would commence with nausea followed by vomiting every hour for 12 hours and throbbing pain well localized to the left fronto-parietal area, was refered to Glasgow Homeopathic Hospital. He remains attack free 3 years after treatment. This case is offered as an open, admittedly retrospective study, comparing the best of conventional migraine therapy with appropriate homeopathic therapy in the same patient. Forty-three children were randomly assigned to either placebo or homeopathic treatment groups, and then those initially given a placebo were given an individualized homeopathic medicine. All subjects underwent a homeopathic interview to determine which individualized remedy was appropriate.
Results show significant improvement once the patient began taking the homeopathic medicine.
This study of 131 children allowed parents to choose homeopathic or conventional medical care from their ear, nose, and throat doctor. 103 children underwent homeopathic treatment, while 28 underwent conventional care. They found that the total recurrences of the homeopathic treated group was .41 per patient, while the antibiotic treatment group was .70 per patient.
