The National Health and Medical Research Council's conclusion on homeopathy was not
legitimate because it was based on homeopathic trials that lacked homogeneity in their
intervention. In some trials the intervention was isopathic. The overview and many
previously conducted systematic reviews were exclusively based on randomized controlled
trials that comprised only 27% of all clinical studies so far published in homeopathy.
It is not rational to leave out the evidence generated through uncontrolled studies
if these studies showed consistent results.
