P05.39. Clinical experiences of homeopaths
participating in a study of the homeopathic
treatment of children with attention deficit/
hyperactivity disorder

Purpose
To explore the clinical experiences of homeopaths partici-
pating in an open label pilot study of the homeopathic
treatment of children with attention deficit/hyperactivity
disorder (ADHD). Specific objectives include to: (1)
Explore how treating patients within a clinical trial was
similar or different from general practice experiences; (2)
Reflect on how clinical practices changed as part of the
trial; and (3) Identify issues or lessons for future homeo-
pathic clinical researchers and clinicians.
Methods
A series of in-person interviews were conducted at
month 11 of the clinical trial (2/3 completion) with the
two study homeopaths. The clinicians were asked a series
of open-ended probing questions to explore their experi-
ences participating in the trial and to reflect on issues
they felt significant to the study design.
Results
The clinicians described the study participants as having a
greater degree of ADHD pathology, more co-morbidities,
and as taking more medication than their daily practice
patients. The clinical approach to the study patients
deviated from the homeopaths’ normal practice in the fol-
lowing ways: a greater reliance on “water dosing” (giving
medication dissolved in water and having the participant
dose more frequently) to adapt to concomitant conven-
tional medication; and less dietary advice was given due to
the need to establish rapport and the feeling that such
advice would overwhelm the families. The homeopaths
described challenges in explaining homeopathic treatment
concepts such as remedy reaction trajectory and homeo-
pathic remedy aggravations.
Conclusion
Homeopathic medications and dietary protocols were
found to be easily adapted for use in a clinical trial. These
observations provide insights for future research in the
area of homeopathic treatment (for ADHD in particular
and of homeopathy in general) and provide insights for
the potential integration of homeopathic practice into con-
ventional settings.

Complementary therapies are widespread but controversial. We aim to provide a comprehensive collection and a summary of systematic reviews of clinical trials in three major complementary therapies (acupuncture, herbal medicine, homeopathy). This article is dealing with homeopathy. Potentially relevant reviews were searched through the register of the Cochrane Complementary Medicine Field, the Cochrane Library, Medline, and bibliographies of articles and books. To be included articles had to review prospective clinical trials of homeopathy; had to describe review methods explicitly; had to be published; and had to focus on treatment effects. Information on conditions, interventions, methods, results and conclusions was extracted using a pretested form and summarized descriptively.

This study has has identified, using primary consultation and other data, a range of factors that might account for the effectiveness of homeopathic care. Some of these, such as empathy, are non-specific. Others, such as the remedy matching process, are specific to homeopathy. These findings counsel against the use of placebo-controlled RCT designs in which both arms would potentially be receiving specific active ingredients. Future research in homeopathy should focus on pragmatic trials and seek to confirm or refute the therapeutic role of constructs such as patient "openness", disclosure and homeopathicity.

ADHD- Controlling The Mental Itch With Homeopathy

Welcome Cure LLP

Millions of children below age of 17 suffer from ADHD worldwide. Children with ADHD commonly have problems paying attention or concentrating. If not treated on time it can lead to uncontrollable anger, erratic and anti-social conduct that tends to strain relationships with parents, siblings and peers. Babies with very low birth weight have an increased risk of developing ADHD. Homeopathy reduces the aggressiveness, restlessness and obstinacy of the child. Homeopathy promotes a happy, constructive, productive, creative development of the child.

Running Head: QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH SUMMARY 1 QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH SUMMARY 10 QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH SUMMARY Student’s Name: Letzy Reyes Institution: Grand Cayon University Date: 06/10/2018 Nursing Practice Problem P-(Problem) – elderly patients aged above 50 years admitted in hospital and having shown blood pressure disease signs. Patients not included in the research were pregnant women. I-(Intervention) – the patients who are subject in this research will be subjected to therapeutic routine concerning hypertension. The blood pressure of all the patients was tested after administering hypertension medicine to the subjects. The resultant changes were recorded every day to determine the reaction and thus the group will make a conclusion. C-(Comparison) – institutionalized quality methods will be regulated for hypertension and subjected to the group. The comparison between the groups will be done towards the end of the month in the group. O-(Outcome) - there will be good relation between the hypertension medication and blood pressure. T-(Time) – for the next one month the blood pressure will be monitored closely. The nursing practice portion should be in paragraph form. PICOT Statement Elderly patients under hypertension medication together with pharmacological interventions can be maintained in hospitals to improve their blood pressure and with understanding the background and culture of the patients will be of great help in dealing with hypertension. Comment by Doreen Farley: Letzy, I know that this is not the PICOT question that we decided on. What happened to the PICOT? In patients with hypertension, does the use of meditation along with pharmacological interventions compared to medications alone improve blood pressure? This was the PICOT from out last discussion on 6-1-18 This paper is supposed to be double space only. I am not sure why there is so much space in between concepts. Introduction Background of the study The purpose of the study was to evaluate analyze how patients using hypertension medication along with pharmacological interventions compared to medications alone improve blood pressure. The bottom line of the study was to evaluate how different opinions on hypertension and the treatment of the disease and how such opinions differ from one place to another especially due to the difference in culture or ethnicity of these groups. In addition, the study will be evaluated on what the proposed interventions would do to improve the adherence to these groups. Comment by Doreen Farley: The study evaluated… The proposed interventions from the research on the two articles will be of importance to the nursing field. There is the need for the nurses to connect, care and convey treatment for various groups of patients in our diverse community. These include taking treatment to patients from different ethnic and racial groups. When it comes to hypertension, nurses have been faced with challenges .

1 Proposal: Effectiveness of non-pharmacological in Comparison to Methylphenidate Stimulant Therapy Barbara Maclure 9/18/2022 2 Effectiveness of non-pharmacological in Comparison to Methylphenidate Stimulant Therapy Introduction Attentive–deficit hyperactivity is a psychological disorder that is well known, affecting both children and adults. Some of the associated symptoms that are associated with ADHD include inattention, hyperactivity, impulsivity, and difficulty in focusing. It is reported that in the United States, about 8.5% of children are affected by ADHD. In the treatment process, several ways have been put into place. Despite the treatment, many studies reported that some treatment methods have side effects. Therefore, knowing the method that least has the side effects is crucial. This research proposal will play an essential role as it will identify whether non-pharmacological intervention, behavioral therapy, and stimulant therapy have the same results in children aged 4 to 8. Background of the study Dr. George first identified ADHD when he was a pediatrician. He noted that his patients had uncontrollable impulsive behavior. There was an introduction of the drug Benzedrine, which was approved as it showed to improve ADHD symptoms in children. In 1950 there was the introduction of Ritalin drugs which were used in ADHD treatment in both children and adolescents. (Holland & Higuera (2017). The drug that is used in the treatment of ADHD to date is Ritalin. Despite the doctors treating patients with ADHD symptoms from the 1930s, there was no actual definition of ADHD. Still, it was given much attention in 1987 when the American Psychiatric Association (APA) redefinition of the disorder. 3 By 2020, approximately 7.1 million young children aging between 2-17 years with ADHD had been diagnosed. (Garbe (2018). Despite the prevalence of the disorder among children and adolescents, ADHD is also present in adulthood. In most cases, this disorder is noted when the child gets into the class and starts issues of failing to focus on the classroom. There are different forms of ADHD which entails hyperactive/impulsive type, inattentive type, or a combination of the two. There is a criterion that is customarily utilized in the treatment of ADHD. The parents and the teacher are required to document the children's symptoms for a period of six months. Research shows that ADHD is more common in males than women. One of the interventions utilized is stimulant therapy, considered standard treatment for children after reaching an appropriate age. The stimulus, for example, the medication, is said to have side effects which can be either mild or severe. Some noticeable side effects include upset stomach, appetite change, heart abnormalities, tics, and weight loss. Although the treated symbols are 70-80% treated, there can be the utilization of.

Running head: UNTREATED ADHD CAN INCREASE CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR 1 UNTREATED ADHD CAN INCREASE CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR 9 Untreated ADHD can increase Criminal Behavior Jailya Wooden Walden University April 4, 2020 Introduction The treatment of ADHD and the approaches to be employed are reliant on several factors including the age of the individuals suffering the disease, whether to be employed with other approaches and the comorbidities present. ADHD is a major issue in public health and can have negative effects on the families of the patient and society as a whole. As such, understanding the underlying factors of ADHD, its diagnosis and treatment approaches is crucial to how well the condition will be dealt with in the future. This paper looks into six research articles as part of the Capstone project and their studies of ADHD related subjects. Articles Synthesis According to Lücke et al., 2017, CBT or cognitive behavioral therapy is characterized as the standard type of psychotherapy administered in adults suffering ADHD. The article recognizes that biological factors including chronic negative feedback during childhood can play a role in the characterization of ADHD as a developmental disorder and these cannot be addressed substantially using CBT. The article looks into schema therapy which has recently become popular for use as a therapy approach when it comes to chronic psychiatric disorders due to its effectiveness. The therapy is centered on the targeting and identification of beliefs and dysfunctional patterns that are formed from experiences during childhood and encapsulated as early maladaptive schemas. The article also looks into studies that were used to demonstrate the increased prevalence of these schemas in ADHD suffering adults. As such, it analyzes the effectiveness and utilization of schema therapy and its potential in utilizing maladaptive schemas to treat ADHD. The effectiveness of the approach is bolstered when there are the influence and existence of secondary problems including impaired self-perception and poor coping mechanisms (Lücke et al., 2017). The article also cites the importance of conducting controlled randomized clinical studies to support the adoption of the approach and the analysis of its effectiveness in treating attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, ADHD. According to Pan et al., 2019, the article looks into a study that compares CBT alone to its combination with medication in terms of cognitive and social functions, self-esteem, emotional symptoms and core symptoms in patients suffering ADHD. The study provides proof that CBT is an effective approach when it comes to treating ADHD regardless of whether it is employed with medication or not. There were, however, broader improvements when CBT was employed with medication in executive function but not in clinical symptoms, as compared to the use of CBT alone. This would, therefore, provide a scientific basis for the clinical selection of tr.

home

This comparative cohort study, involving more than 1,500 patients in primary care practices of at least 6 different European countries, demonstrates that homeopathic treatment for acute respiratory and ear complaints was not inferior to conventional treatment. Although no firm conclusions can be drawn about the efficacy of homeopathic treatment, these results certainly contribute to the growing evidence that homeopathy is a safe and beneficial treatment strategy for acute diseases in primary care settings.

Data of 1,577 patients were evaluated in the full analysis set of which 857 received homeopathic (H) and 720 conventional (C) treatment. The majority of patients in both groups reported their outcome after 14 days of treatment as complete recovery or major improvement (H: 86.9%; C: 86.0%; p = 0.0003 for non-inferiority testing). In the perprotocol set (H: 576 and C: 540 patients) similar results were obtained (H: 87.7%; C: 86.9%; p = 0.0019). Further subgroup analysis of the full analysis set showed no differences of response rates after 14 days in children (H: 88.5%; C: 84.5%) and adults (H: 85.6%; C: 86.6%). The unadjusted odds ratio (OR) of the primary outcome criterion was 1.40 (0.89–2.22) in children and 0.92 (0.63–1.34) in adults. Adjustments for demographic differences at baseline did not significantly alter the OR. The response rates after 7 and 28 days also showed no significant differences between both treatment groups. However, onset of improvement within the first 7 days after treatment was significantly faster upon homeopathic treatment both in children (p = 0.0488) and adults (p = 0.0001). Adverse drug reactions occurred more frequently in adults of the conventional group than in the homeopathic group (C: 7.6%; H: 3.1%, p = 0.0032), whereas in children the occurrence of adverse drug reactions was not significantly different (H: 2.0%; C: 2.4%, p = 0.7838).

Running head: NUTRITION 1 NUTRITION 8 Nutrition Student’s Name Institutional Affiliation Date Nutrition Introduction/Key Points Topic and Question Topic five: Interventions to improve additional nutritional status: What type of interventions improve adherence to recommendations on nutritional intake? Define the Topic and Question This topic question is defined by interventions to enhance adherence to dietary advice for preventing and managing chronic diseases in adults. By introducing these interventions earlier, it will be possible to prevent people from being affected by chronic diseases. Overview/Significance of the Problem The acceptance and implementation of a healthy diet has been recognized as the foundation for managing, preventing, and fighting chronic diseases. However, the inability to be dynamic and diversify one’s life diet can lead to significant problems. It is also vital that people know that people acknowledge the importance of obeying dietary counsel since one’s adherence level can determine the efficiency of dietary treatment. The ability of one to diversify his diet reduces the risk of developing food allergy and intolerance (Ball et al., 2016). Additionally, the lack of education has been mostly associated with a poor quality and less diversified diet in people with diabetes (Tiew, Chan, Lye & Loke, 2014). It is, therefore, evident how the ability to diversify and be dynamic on one’s diet improves the nutritional status. Article Search Current and Credible Sources When searching for my article, I established the Chamberlain Library as an essential tool to assist during the search. I started with my electronic database known as CINHAL where I successfully found the article. Database search-terms and methods/ Number of articles located While I was searching for the article, among the terms that I used was; what type of interventions improve adherence to recommendations on nutritional intake? The search provided me with 1,123 articles to refer from. Other search terms that I used were compliance, telemedicine, nutrition, dietary intervention, chronic disease, and adults. The types of articles were limited to be from the Chamberlain Library, written in English, academic journals, descriptive statistics, and full-text peer-reviewed articles. The publication year on the search filter was restricted to 2015 to 2020 to provide the most recent data. List additional sources outside of ATI module Main article, “Understanding the nutrition care needs of patients newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes: a need for open communication and patient-focused consultations,” written by (Ball et al., 2016).

Running Head: Research Summary and Ethical Considerations 1 Research Summary and Ethical Considerations 2 Please put your title in caps Hi, please review APA for your header sections. Please put your title in caps. Thanks. Research Summary and Ethical Considerations Student’s Name: Institution: Introduction Background of the study The main reason for the study has been to evaluate and analyze the amount of knowledge patients have concerning hypertension and how the patients take treatment and drugs which are related to hypertension. The bottom line of the study is to evaluate how different opinions on hypertension and the treatment of the disease and how such opinions differ from one place to another especially due to the difference in culture or ethnic of these groups. In addition, the study will be evaluated on what the research can do to improve the adherence to these groups. Comment by Doreen Farley: For someone reading this that doesn’t know what your subject is, how would they know what study you were talking about. In your intro/background you must either name the article that you are critiquing for the reader or the author’s name. For instance, the following information is a critique of a qualitative study authored by…… The purpose of the study was to….. Smith & Smith stated….. The study was conducted due to the….. These are just examples to help you ensure that the reader knows exactly what you are speaking about in terms of the authors, name of study, purpose of study and why it was conducted. I hope this helps. . Comment by Doreen Farley: ethnicity Comment by Doreen Farley: Is it what the research will do or what the proposed interventions would do to improve adherence? The research subject is equally important to nursing. In the nursing field, we have to deal with different groups. Nurses need to connect, convey, and care for the treatment administrations of various patients having a place with various societies and racial origin. In most cases, nurses are faced with the challenge of dealing with one treatment at a time, but they do offer modes which are different especially to patients who are suffering from the same diseases (Marshall, Wolfe, & McKevitt, 2012). In this case, nurses can administer the treatment using different methods depending on culture and racial of the community in the question. Therefore it is important that the study considers issues which are relevant to nursing practices. In addition, the study will help nurses in appreciating and acknowledging the experience the patients have especially the symptoms since there are no scientific ways to prove such symptoms. Based on the beliefs and culture of the patients, the nurses should be in a position to tell people with hypertension even with these symptoms from the patients. In fact, most of these symptoms have been found to be irrelevant since in some cases it is not a must that they have any connection to the ...

Homeopathy—quackery or a key to the future of medicine?

home

When cholera first invaded Europe in 1831, the mortality throughout Europe was generally between 40% and 60%. To the surprise of many, mortality rates reported by homeopathic physicians was generally below 10%, and commonly under 4%. Let me present two typical cholera reports, which have a stamp of officialdom. The first one comes from the territory of Raab in Hungary where in 1831 a Dr Joseph Bakody treated 223 patients with mild to severe cholera, 14 of which were in a state of collapse . He lost a total of 8 patients, a mortality of 3.6%. A similar situation occurred in Cincinnati in 1849. The Board of Health issued an order calling for physicians to report all cases of cholera. Reports of a high mortality rate were received by the Board from the city hospital and allopathic physicians. However, six homeopathic physicians attracted national attention when they reported not a single death out of their first 350 cases of cholera. Two of these homeopathic physicians, Dr Pulte and Ehrmann would eventually report treating 2646 cases with 35 deaths, or a mortality rate of 1.3%. Allopaths reported fatal outcomes in about 50% of their cases.

Multidrugresistant tuberculosis Among the most menacing forms of MDR is multidrug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). WHO estimates that were about 450,000 new cases and 170,000 deaths from MDR-TB in 2012. The number of cases reported to WHO rose by an alarming 35% between 2011 and 2012, although this probably mostly reflects increased recognition and reporting. Over half the new cases were in India, China or the Russian Federation.3 This issue of Homeopathy features a paper by Dr Kusum Chand and colleagues reporting a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial of individualized homeopathic treatment or placebo in addition to standard antituberculous chemotherapy as specified by the Indian Revised National Tuberculosis Control Program, for MDR-TB

home

Rome, 3rde5th June 2015, was the setting for the Homeopathy Research Institute’s (HRI) second conference with the theme ‘Cutting Edge Research in Homeopathy’. Attended by over 250 delegates from 39 countries, this event provided an intense two and a half day programme of presentations and a forum for the sharing of ideas and the creation of international scientific collaborations. With 35 oral presentations from leaders in the field, the scientific calibre of the programme was high and the content diverse. This report summarises the key themes underpinning the cutting edge data presented by the speakers, including six key-note presentations, covering advancements in both basic and clinical research. Given the clear commitment of the global homeopathic community to high quality research, the resounding success of both Barcelona 2013 and Rome 2015 HRI conferences, and the dedicated support of colleagues, the HRI moves confidently forward towards the next biennial conference

CORE-Hom: A powerful and exhaustive database of clinical trials in homeopathy

home

The CORE-Hom database was created to answer the need for a reliable and publicly available source of information in the field of clinical research in homeopathy. As of May 2014 it held 1048 entries of clinical trials, observational studies and surveys in the field of homeopathy, including second publications and re-analyses. 352 of the trials referenced in the database were published in peer reviewed journals, 198 of which were randomised controlled trials. The most often used remedies were Arnica montana (n = 103) and Traumeel (n = 40). The most studied medical conditions were respiratory tract infections (n = 126) and traumatic injuries (n = 110). The aim of this article is to introduce the database to the public, describing and explaining the interface, features and content of the CORE-Hom database.

Controlled clinical studies of homeopathy

home

Observations about controlled clinical trials expressed by Max Haidvogl in the book Ultra High Dilution (1994) have been appraised from a perspective two decades later. The present commentary briefly examines changes in homeopathy research evidence since 1994 as regards: the published number of randomised controlled trials (RCTs), the use of individualised homeopathic intervention, the ‘proven efficacy of homeopathy’, and the quality of the evidence.

Clinical trial of homeopathy in rheumatoid arthritis

home

The conclusion of the study that the effect was due to ‘consultation’ and not to the homeopathic remedy appears to be biased for two reasons: There was no substantial amelioration of the pathology in any group to compare and on which to base conclusions. The placebo effect in such deep pathology cases is superficial and transient as the patient remains in essence with the same frame of pathology.

Blisters and homeopathy: case reports and differential diagnosis

home

Blisters are skin lesions characterized by accumulation of fluid between the layers of the skin. Their severity varies from the common blisters caused by friction to severe autoimmune and congenital bullous disorders, some of themcurrently without treatment in conventional medicine or requiring drugs with potentially severe side-effects. This article reports cases of blistering diseases successfully treated with homeopathic medicines, which represent an alternative for the treatment of such disorders.

A short history of the development of homeopathy in India

home

Homeopathy was introduced in India the early 19th century. It flourished in Bengal at first, and then spread all over India. In the beginning, the system was extensively practised by amateurs in the civil and military services and others. Mahendra Lal Sircar was the first Indian who became a homeopathic physician. A number of allopathic doctors started homeopathic practice following Sircar’s lead. The ‘Calcutta Homeopathic Medical College’, the first homeopathic medical college was established in 1881. This institution took on a major role in popularising homeopathy in India. In 1973, the Government of India recognised homeopathy as one of the national systems of medicine and set up the Central Council of Homeopathy (CCH) to regulate its education and practice. Now, only qualified registered homeopaths can practice homeopathy in India. At present, in India, homeopathy is the third most popular method of medical treatment after allopathy and Ayurveda. There are over 200,000 registered homeopathic doctors currently, with approximately 12,000 more being added every year.

A homeopathy user utilized on average homeopathic remedies worth EUR 15.28. The corresponding figure for herbal drug users was EUR 16.02, and EUR 18.72 for overall medicinal CAM users. CAM use among 15-year-old children in the GINIplus cohort is popular, but decreased noticeably compared with children from the same cohort at the age of 10 years. This is possibly mainly because German health legislation normally covers CAM for children younger than 12 years only.

CAM use was prevalent among breast cancer patients. Excluding PFH from the definition of CAM reduced the prevalence of overall CAM use. Overall, CAM use was associated with higher education levels and household incomes, advanced cancer and lower chemotherapy schedule compliance. Many patients perceived MBP to be beneficial for improving overall well-being during chemotherapy. These findings, while preliminary, clearly indicate the differences in CAM use when PFH is included in, and excluded from, the definition of CAM

In order to prevent serious events as a consequence of homeopathic treatment, the identification of an unwanted adverse event is of critical importance. A differentiation of adverse events and homeopathic aggravations, which is accepted as a concept in homeopathy, should be a part of a reporting system where risk and safety are assessed. This is of particular significance in a treatment system like homeopathy, which is in most European countries regulated as an alternative treatment and as such not included in the supervision system of health care.
