6) Myth: Homeopathy is slow to act and cannot be used in acute conditions.

It is a well-known fact that homeopathic treatment reduces the doctor’s visits by 80% especially in recurrent and ongoing illnesses of children.

7) Myth: Homeopathy is a placebo science.

Fact: Several experiments have shown that homeopathic dilutions contain nanoparticles of the original substance. Homeopathy is not merely a placebo; it has been proven effective in treating severe diarrhoea, bacterial infections, urinary tract infections, and pneumonia, even in infants who are unaware whether they are receiving medicine or food. Clinical evidence supports its effectiveness in both acute and chronic conditions in infants, as well as in animals and plants.
Homeopathy has also been shown to help control viral and fungal infections in plants and is widely used in veterinary medicine. Many veterinarians across India successfully apply homeopathy for treatment, reproduction management, epidemic control, and food security. According to the World Health Organization, homeopathy is the second-largest medical system globally.

8) Myth: Homeopathy contains steroids?

Fact: Most homeopaths use lactose as a base for powders and cane sugar for making pills, both of which can interfere with steroid testing. Additionally, homeopathic remedies often contain alcohol as a diluting agent, further increasing the chances of false-positive results when testing for steroids.
Alternative methods like the Liberman-Burchard test, thin-layer chromatography, and UV absorption are used for more accurate detection. Steroids typically show UV absorption peaks between 235–240 nm. In a study using the UV method, four homeopathic samples showed no peaks between 230–250 nm, indicating no steroids. However, when a steroid (clobetasone-17-butyrate) was deliberately added, a clear peak at 235 nm was observed.
Thus, before assuming a remedy contains steroids, it is important to verify the testing method used. Unfounded accusations harm both individual doctors and the reputation of the profession.
