Study of the Month, June, 2009:

 

Vickers A, Smith C. Homoeopathic Oscillococcinum for preventing and treating influenza and influenza-like syndromes. Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews 2006, Issue 3. Art. No.: CD001957. DOI: 10.1002/14651858.CD001957.pub3.

This systematic review is the only review published in the Cochrane Collaboration that does not present a negative result.

To find this article, we will go directly to the Cochrane Collaboration website. If you are searching from Canada, the Collaboration is offering free access for a limited time. You can freely poke around and see what other reviews have been published:

Go to the any search engine and enter “cochrane” and choose “Cochrane Collaboration”.

In the search box enter appropriate keywords such as “oscillococcinum”, or “homeopathy influenza”.

The systematic review should be the first on the list – “Homeopathic Oscillococcinum for preventing and treating influenza and influenza-like symptoms”.
