We are writing in response to the special article by Sampson and London critiquing our May 1994 publication, "Treatment of Acute Childhood Diarrhea with Homeopathic Medicine: A Randomized Clinical Trial in Nicaragua." We are pleased that Pediatrics provided an opportunity for further debate on this topic. However, we were surprised by the general tone and the number of statistical mis-statements and incorrect inferences in this critique. Because space has been limited in this rebuttal, we would like to limit our comments to a few key points: 1) misrepresentation of our claims, 2) methodological issues, and 3) the importance of open scientific discourse.

Disease-related malnutrition is frequent in patients with chronic pulmonary diseases. Though there is no doubt about the usefulness of Oral Nutritional Supplements (ONS) in managing malnutrition in such patients, only a handful of publications are available in the literature on clinical trials with ONS in this patient population. Since the digestion of macronutrients results in a strain on the respiratory functions in severe pulmonary diseases, the source of energy may also play a crucial role in the efficacy of nutrition with ONS in such patients. Here we present the study protocol of a randomized, open-label, multicentre clinical trial aimed to determine whether a new, condition-specific ONS (with a composition tailored to the needs of patients with decreased pulmonary functions) is more effective compared to a general ONS in improving the nutritional status in patients with compromised respiratory functions.

I am writing concerning Sampson and London's article, "Analysis of Homeopathic Treatment of Childhood Diarrhea" (Pediatrics November 1995) that critically reviewed the article by jacobs et al, "Treatment of Acute Childhood Diarrhea with Homeopathic Medicine: A Randomized Clinical Trial in Nicaragua" (Pediatrics May 1994). The primary problem with the criticisms that Sampson and London raise is that they have not thought through the implications of their arguments. Thus, plausible sounding objections that they offer often lead, upon careful scrutiny, to the opposite conclusion that the authors proclaim.
