Because research in homeopathy cannot bring the multi-billion pound/dollar rewards that are the result of research into patented drugs, it is not easy to find funds for research into homeopathy. Funding has to be a matter of altruism, a rare commodity these days. Furthermore, methodologies must be developed which are both suited to the practice of homeopathic medicine and stand up to scientific scrutiny. In homeopathy, we are trying to stimulate healing and a curative process. This is a very different and infinitely more complex phenomenon than the direct suppression of a given symptom, which is the aim of conventional drug medicine and the targeted object of its research methodology. Of course, observation is the first principle of good science and observation gives us evidence that is very suggestive of efficacy.

 

Nonetheless, there are some good pieces of research, some of which have been published in peer-review journals.
