Abstract

Two hundred homeopathic practitioners were each sent a questionnaire. The main body of the questionnaire requested the analysis of a paper case, with an optional second case. The response rate was disappointing at about 15%. There was consensus of 33% for the selection of the correct medicine in the analysis of the first case. The study was small but poses further questions about case analysis and the diverse interpretations of the law of similars.
