This paper aims at considering all important aspects of the scientific framework of homeopathic practice, looking at the levels of scientific evidence of each aspect in an objective way, through an extensive review of literature. Levels of evidence considered are: I) existence of meta-analyses and/or systematic positive reviews of literature; IIa) multiple positive randomized controlled trials (RCTs); IIb) some positive RCTs; IIIa) positive multiple cohorts studies; IIIb) positive studies with some cohorts; IV) opinion of experts (clinical and daily practice cases). Conclusions are clear: home...

Cosmologically active Brans-Dicke (or dilaton) scalar fields are generically ruled out by solar system tests of gravity unless their couplings to ordinary matter are much suppressed relative to gravitational strength, and this is a major hindrance when building realistic models of light dilatons coupled to matter. We propose a new mechanism for evading such bounds if matter also couples to a light axion, that exploits nonlinear target-space curvature interactions to qualitatively change how the fields respond to a gravitating source. We find that dilaton-matter couplings that would be excluded...

Homeopathy is approximately two hundred and fifty years old medical system. In homeopathy, extremely small dose of original substances is used to treat diseases that produce similar symptoms of the disease. Therefore, two principles of homeopathy are the law of similars and the law of minute dose. Hahnemann proposed that similar symptoms produced by remedies occupy the space of the disease. Reaction or withdrawal effect of the remedy goes against the symptoms of the disease and thus the disease is cured. Although similar substances are used to treat diseases, some substances produce both simil...
