The latest volume of ‘Homeopathy’ that celebrates 100 years of its existence as a scientific and medical journal, features a piece of research first published in 2005 that indicates that individualised homeopathy may be helpful adjunctively in the treatment of patients suffering severe sepsis. In a randomised, double-blind, placebo controlled trial of patients diagnosed with severe sepsis in a hospital intensive care unit, there was a significant trend of survival for patients receiving homeopathy together with normal care. The homeopathic physicians involved prescribed individually for each patient. The most frequently prescribed homeopathic medicines were Apis mellifica, Arsenicum album, Baptisia, Bryonia, Carbo vegetabilis, Crotalus horridus, Lachesis muta, Lycopodium clavatum, Phosphorus, and Pyrogenium.
