The present paper is the result of a study of the literature investigating the effectiveness of potentiated agents. The object is to supply an answer to the question of the extent to which homeopathy and isopathy have a scientific basis. The most universally accepted requirements which scientific research has to comply with having been enumerated and explained, a number of experimental studies in the fields of homeopathy and isopathy are put to the test of these requirements. An important consideration is the extent to which a scientific approach to these methods of treatment is possible. In addition, the question is asked what can be the background of the increasing popularity of this method of treatment. The conclusion emerges that the literature available does not make it possible to pass a verdict on the question whether homeopathy and isopathy are scientifically justified or not. With the possible exception of one experiment, none of the studies are up to the standards set in every respect.
本文是一项关于增效剂有效性的文献研究成果。目的是回答顺势疗法和同种疗法在何种程度上具有科学依据这一问题。在列举并解释了科学研究必须遵循的最普遍接受的要求之后，顺势疗法和同种疗法领域的一些实验研究接受了这些要求的检验。一个重要的考量是对这些治疗方法进行科学研究的可能性有多大。此外，还提出了这种治疗方法日益普及的背景可能是什么的问题。得出的结论是，现有文献无法就顺势疗法和同种疗法是否具有科学合理性这一问题作出裁决。除了一项实验可能例外，没有一项研究在各方面都达到所设定的标准。
