Individualized Homeopathic Treatment and Fluoxetine for Moderate to Severe Depression in Peri- and Postmenopausal Women (HOMDEP-MENOP Study): A Randomized, Double-Dummy, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial
This study compared homeopathic treatment to a conventional prescription (Fluoxetine, Prozac, Sarafem, Rapiflux, Selfemra) for moderate to severse depression during early menopause and menopause, AND of course, to a placebo. The study found that: homeopathic treatment of menopause
1)homeopathic medicine was “highly significantly” better at reducing hot flashes of early menopause and menopause than either placebo or conventional antidepressant drugs
(P<0.001),
2) that homeopathic treatment was better at treating depression than a placebo (P<0.001) and was even better at treating depression (P=0.08) than the conventional antidepressant drug.
The research found that that individualized homeopathic treatment was so dramatically effective in treating the symptoms of menopause that the results were considered “clinically significant.” That means, they found that homeopathy WORKS and is NOT JUST A PLACEBO EFFECT!!
