Abstract
Since the nineteenth century the theory of conventional medicine has been developed in close alignment with the mechanistic paradigm of natural sciences. Only in the twentieth century occasional attempts were made to (re)introduce the ‘subject’ into medical theory, as by Thure von Uexküll (1908-2004) who elaborated the so-called biopsychosocial model of the human being, trying to understand the patient as a unit of organic, mental, and social dimensions of life.

Abstract
An outcome series was conducted over a five-year period of patients attending a community NHS homeopathy clinic in Dorchester, Dorset. 273 new patients were seen. 183 (67%) questionnaires were completed at six months after initial consultation. 44% of patients had been unwell for more than five years; 19% of all patients for more than 15 years.

CONCLUSION: These preliminary results seem to confirm a positive therapeutic effect of homeopathy in atopic children. Furthermore, according to the data from the literature paediatric patients treated with homeopathy seem to show a reduced tendency to maintain AD and develop asthma (and allergic rhinitis) in adult age.

CONCLUSION: Individualized homeopathy is an effective conventional treatment in AOM, there were no significant differences between groups in the main outcome. Symptomatic improvement was quicker in the Homeopathy group, and there was a large difference in antibiotic requirements, favouring homeopathy. Further work on a larger scale should be conducted.

  The cold weather is around the corner.  We asked this question quite a bit.  Which remedies should I purchase for the flu season?  This question is individualized to a certain extent.  However, there are certain homeopathic remedies for the flu that nearly everyone can take.

The most popular homeopathic remedy for the flu is Oscillococcinum.  This is actually the homeopathic remedy Anas babariae hepatis et cordis 200C.  This remedy should be taken at the first sign of flu.  It helps to shorten the duration of the flu by about 6 hours or so. 

Other popular homeopathic remedies during to take during the flu season include Nux Vomica, Byronia Alba, Pulsatilla and Belladonna.  Nux Vomica is for the flu with a running nose, chills, aches and gastric issues such as diarrhea.  Byronia Alba is for a slow setting flu with a painful dry cough.  You feel flu like but you really do not have a full blown full like symptoms.  Pulsatilla is for a stuffy nose with thick yellow discharge.  You will generally feel worse at night.  Belladonna is the used if you have a high fever and headache.  Cold air seems to worsen your condition.

These are just some of the homeopathic remedies that one can take to combat the flu.  Try to match your symptoms as close to the remedies as possible.

Mortality in patients with severe sepsis remains high despite the development of several therapeutic strategies. The aim of this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was to evaluate whether homeopathy is able to influence long-term outcome in critically ill patients suffering from severe sepsis.
