Comparative StudyAbsorption spectra of electronic-homoeopathic copies of homoeopathic nosodes and placebo have essential differences.
Electronic-homoeopathic copies (EHC), i.e. preparations made by 'imprinting' the parent substance onto water (or other carriers) with the help of M. Rae devices, have gained certain acceptance in some fields of alternative medicine as homoeopathic nosodes. ⋯ The result obtained supports the existence of an electronic-homoeopathic copying effect.

Randomized Controlled TrialProspective controlled cohort studies on long-term therapy of breast cancer patients with a mistletoe preparation (Iscador).
Mistletoe preparations such as Iscador (Weleda, Schwäbisch Gmünd, Germany) are commonly used in complementary and alternative / anthroposophic medicine for many cancer indications, particularly for solid cancers. Efficacy of this complementary therapy is still controversial. ⋯ Iscador shows a clinically relevant effect on breast tumor progression as measured by overall survival as well as by the time to recurrences, lymphatic or distant metastases. In the short term, psychosomatic self-regulation increases more markedly under complementary Iscador therapy than under conventional therapy alone.
