This review aimed to assess the evidence for homeopathy as an intervention for attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Four trials were retrieved and assessed with mixed results. Overall the results of this review found no evidence of effectiveness for homeopathy for the global symptoms, core symptoms or related outcomes of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder.

Response to homeopathynatho

Dementia is a distressing illness that has major implications for individuals with the disease and their carers. Homeopathy is a popular type of complementary medicine. It is however controversial because although there is some evidence that it is not just a placebo, no one understands how it could work. The researchers did not find any good quality trials and so cannot say whether it is or is not effective for treating this condition. As no information is available on how much homeopathy is used for dementia, it is difficult to say whether it is important to conduct more trials.

There are different types that may be used for asthma, such as classical homeopathy (tailored to an individual’s symptoms) or isopathy (for example using a dilution of an agent that causes an allergy, such as pollen). The review of trials found that the type of homeopathy varied between the studies, that the study designs used in the trials were varied and that no strong evidence existed that usual forms of homeopathy for asthma are effective. There has been only a limited attempt to measure a ‘package of care’ effect (i.e., the effect of the medication as well as the consultation, which is considered a vital part of individualised homeopathic practice). **Until stronger evidence exists for the use of homeopathy in the treatment o

I was wanting to have a Bootstrap/Bootswatch well with a background image instead of dropping the image inside, using css to jam it in in the right shape (rounded corners, etc) and trying to overlay the content in that. This was how I got around it. I suspect there's a better way of doing it (especially something with responsive images) but it's…
<div class="well well-lg" data-well-bg="path/to/image">
Content and stuff.
