Webinars

• Frei H: Reflections on Study Design of Homeopathic Randomized Controlled Trials (Part 1). Content: this presentation is based on our experience with the Swiss homeopathic randomized controlled trial (RCT) in ADHD patients. Part 1 elucidates and discusses the special conditions met by researchers in homeopathic RCTs. You will learn about the pitfalls encountered by the study team, and you are introduced to the consequences drawn for further research in homeopathy.
• Frei H: Polarity Analysis - a Treatment Method Suited for Homeopathic RCTs (Part 2) Content: part 2 introduces polarity analysis (PA), the treatment method developed for use in the Swiss RCT. Thanks to PA it was possible to demonstrate a significant difference between placebo and homeopathic medicines. The method has since been tested in all fields of homeopathic treatment and has proved to be effective in general. The excellent results obtained so far clearly warrant further study of PA. National Center for Homeopathy/NCH, Alexandria/VA, USA, 2012. http://www.nationalcenterforhomeopathy.org/nch-webinars – Download

Books

This textbook introduces you to the method of polarity analysis and provides numerous case studies of acute and chronic disease, psychiatric disorders, ADHD as well as multimorbid illness. The case studies illustrate the method and provide an opportunity to learn polarity analysis step-by-step with practical exercises. The checklists and questionnaires included can be used by readers to implement the procedure in their own practices. Several outcome studies demonstrate the effectiveness of the method.
