TL;DR: Abiotically stressed plant models seem to be a useful approach to investigate homeopathic basic research questions, but more experimentation and especially more independent replication trials are needed.

TL;DR: Biotherapy 7dH given before infection (7 or 30 days) produces different effects suggesting modulation of the host's immune system suggesting the use of biotherapy to treat T. cruzi infection deserves further investigation.

TL;DR: Electroencephalographic effects of repeated olfactory administration of two polycrest remedies are examined and EEG alpha offers an objective biomarker of remedy effects for future studies and potential method for distinguishing time-dependent effects of specific remedies and remedy potencies from one another.

TL;DR: Taking a neutral stance, arguments both for and against the provision of homeopathy on the NHS is presented, which includes issues such as the evidence and safety profile ofHomeopathy, but also takes into account costs and benefits of homeopathic treatment in a wider perspective.

TL;DR: Cases of blistering diseases successfully treated with homeopathic medicines are reported, which represent an alternative for the treatment of such disorders.

TL;DR: The authors found no difference in effectiveness of frequently and less frequently used medicines and confirmation bias was found for a few well-known symptom-medicine combinations for improving the use of homeopathy medicines.

TL;DR: The case of 3 children successfully treated with individualized homeopathic medicines for epidermolysis bullosa is reported.

TL;DR: A new methodological approach to assess the effectiveness of a therapeutic modality, without ad-hoc clinical trials, is demonstrated and can be used by public health institutions in which non-conventional medicines are integrated into the public health care system.

TL;DR: The misunderstanding about 'fear of ghosts' in Lycopodium clavatum exemplifies how distant current homeopathic information is from its primary sources and from Hahnemann's ideal of a symptom-lexicon.

TL;DR: The coincidence of the effect noted in the experience in the field and the evidence accumulating in rigorous laboratory studies on Gelsemium sempervirens is particularly provocative and stimulating for future controlled studies.

TL;DR: Throughout much of the twentieth century the journal largely reflected the Kentian approach, but soon after the British Homœopathic Journal began publication in 1911, a radical change occurred in British homeopathy.
