One of homeopathy’s greatest - and least known- successes is in the treatment of epidemic illnesses. 

​

​

This was true in the late 1800’s during several cholera epidemics. In the great Spanish Influenza epidemic of 1918, homeopaths lost less than 1% of their patients while the deaths in those treated by conventional doctors were over 30%.  

​

The most well-documented current example is in Cuba, where homeopathic remedies are being given prophylactically during the Leptospirosis season, thus reducing the incidence of that disease dramatically.

Normally, homeopathy is known for its highly individual treatment - where a roomful of sick people with a similar disease may each require a different remedy.
