BACKGROUND: Use of homeopathy is not frequently reported in critically ill
patients. We describe our experience treating such patients homeopathically
in the emergency room, on the wards, and in the intensive care unit of
conventional hospitals in Austria and Israel. METHODS: We describe a case
series of patients treated in the ER for multiple casualty incidents, two
case reports of remarkable cures in the ICU, and two RCTs demonstrating the
efficacy of homeopathy in septic and intubated patients. RESULTS: A case
series documents favorable results in homeopathic treatment of patients in
the ER and wards after multiple casualty incidents. Two case reports
narration e remarkable homeopathic cures to imminently terminal illnesses.
Finally, homeopathy was demonstrated effective as compared with placebo in
improving long-term survival in severely ill septic patients and in
hastening extubation ICU patients. CONCLUSIONS: Our report suggests that
homeopathy may be applicable even for critically ill patients. We discuss
the obstacles encountered, including a dearth of tools for successful
homeopathic prescription in these situations, suspicion and lack of
cooperation by patients and conventional colleagues, and the highly
suppressive nature of concomitant conventional therapies. We suggest the
development of algorithms and other tools to aid rapid homeopathic
prescription in critical care patients and discuss the importance of
familiarizing physicians and medical students with homeopathy in order to
facilitate communication and cooperation between these complementary
branches of medicine.
