Can isotherapy cure COVID-19?

Isotherapy is a form of homeopathy that uses a dilute solution of a pathogen to treat that same disease. This method is sometimes mentioned in alternative medicine circles. However, there is no scientific evidence that isotherapy is effective in treating COVID-19.

COVID-19, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, is a serious infectious disease that has caused significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. The treatment and prevention of COVID-19 are mainly based on vaccinations, antiviral medications, supportive care and measures such as wearing masks and social distancing. These measures have been thoroughly researched and have proven to be effective in the fight against the pandemic.

On the other hand, isotherapy lacks scientific substantiation. There are no randomized controlled trials or clinical trials demonstrating the effectiveness of isotherapy in treating COVID-19. Using non-scientifically based treatments can be risky because it can deter people from seeking proven effective medical care.

It is important to base treatments for COVID-19 on robust scientific data and guidelines from health organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). If you have questions about treatment options for COVID-19, consult a qualified healthcare provider.
