The aim of this randomized*, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was to investigate the impact of homeopathy on the survival of sepsis patients <a href=\"https:\/\/futurelink.earth\/news\/wp-admin\/post.php?post=1168&amp;action=edit#2\">(2)<\/a>. Seventy patients received homeopathic treatment (n = 35) or placebo (n = 35). Five granules of C200 potency were given twice a day. On day 180, survival was statistically significantly higher in homeopathically treated patients (75.8% vs 50.0%, p = 0.043). There were no side effects. The data suggest that homeopathic treatment could be a useful additional method in septic patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Homeopathy with heavy mucus production in ventilated patients<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stringy tenacious mucus can delay the removal of the breathing tube in intensive care patients after weaning from the ventilator. In this prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, the effect of potassium dichromate 30c (=Kalium bichromicum 30c) on the amount of viscous mucus in the trachea was studied in intensive care patients with a history of nicotine abuse and chronic lung disease <a href=\"https:\/\/futurelink.earth\/news\/wp-admin\/post.php?post=1168&amp;action=edit#3\">(3)<\/a>. Fifty patients already breathing spontaneously received either the homeopathic medicine potassium dichromate C30 globules (group 1) or placebo (group 2) twice daily. There was a decrease in the amount of tracheal secretions in Group 1 (p &lt;0.0001). Removal of the breathing tube was possible much earlier in group 1 (p &lt;0.0001). Duration of ICU stay was shortened in group 1 (4.20 +\/- 1.61 vs 7.68 +\/- 3.60 days, p &lt;0.0001). The results suggest that homeopathic potassium dichromate may reduce the amount of tracheal mucus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>* <em>randomized means that patients are randomly assigned to either the homeopathic or the control group; The control group receives a so-called placebo, which is a dummy drug that cannot be distinguished from the real drug.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Hom\u00f6opathy in Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine.
