  Homeopathy, non-specific effects and good medicine
  Edzard Ernst


  Have we lost core medical values?
  This editorial refers to â?~Homeopathy has clinical benefits in rheumatoid arthritis patients that are attributable to the consultation process but not the homeopathic remedy: a randomized controlled clinical trialâ?T, by Brien et al., doi:10.1093/rheumatology/keq234, on page 1070.
  In this issue, Brien et al. [1] report the findings of a five-armed randomized controlled trial, which was aimed at differentiating between the effects of homeopathic remedies and patient consultations. The authors demonstrate that homeopathic remedies are placebos and show that â?~the benefits of homeopathy are attributable to the consultationâ?T [1].
  Critics of homeopathy have always pointed out that homeopathic remedies are so highly dilute that they must be devoid of specific therapeutic effects. They are biologically implausible [2], and the â^¼150 published trials collectively fail to indicate clinical effectiveness [3]. At the same time, we know from several observational studies (e.g. [4]) that patients do improve after consulting a homeopath.
