Homeopathic Syrup for the Treatment of Pediatric Colds: Randomized Controlled Nonsense is Still Nonsense.

"Jacobs and Taylor describe the results of this study as “provocative.” I disagree. After admitting their complete failure to find any benefit in the primary outcome being measured, or in any functional outcome, they focus on the finding that children randomized to the homeopathic syrup had statistically significant improvement in 2 of 4 of the arbitrarily chosen core symptoms, but only on the first day of treatment. This is extremely weak sauce."
