Results of Indian Study Using Homeopathy to Treat Thalassemia

Encouraging results were obtained in a preliminary study using homeopathic remedies in the treatment of thallassemia, a genetic blood disorder. The results of the University of Kalyani study have been published in Evidence - Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, 2010;7(1):129-136).  The authors of the study note, “The homeopathic remedies being inexpensive and without any known side-effects seem to have great potentials in bringing additional benefits to thalassemic patients; particularly in the developing world where blood transfusions suffer from inadequate screening and fall short of the stringent safety standards followed in the developed countries.”
