Clinical trial, with positive findings, on 67 patients with severe sepsis (blood poisoning) in an Intensive Care Unit at a university hospital in Austria. Approximately half of the patients were randomly allocated to receive homeopathy; the others received dummy medicine (placebo). They did not know which treatment group they were in. During a period of 6 months, there was a 75% survival rate amongst patients who received homeopathic treatment compared to a 50% survival rate amongst those who received placebo.
