Groundwater arsenic (As) has affected millions of people globally distributed over 20 countries. In parts of West Bengal (India) and Bangladesh alone, over 100 million people are at risk, but supply of As-free water is grossly inadequate. Attempts to remove As by using orthodox medicines have mostly been
unsuccessful. A potentized homeopathic remedy, Arsenicum Album-30, was administered to a group of As affected people and thereafter the As contents in their urine and blood were periodically determined. The activities of various toxicity marker enzymes and compounds in the blood, namely aspartate
amino transferase, alanine amino transferase, acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase, lipid peroxidation and reduced glutathione, were also periodically monitored up to 3 months. The results are highly encouraging and suggest that the drug can alleviate As poisoning in humans.

Although reports on the efficacy of homeopathic medicines in animal models are limited, there are even fewer reports on the in vitro action of these dynamized preparations. In Amla Cancer Research Centre, Kerala , Ellanzhiyil Surendran Sunila, Ramadasan Kuttan, Korengath Chandran Preethi and Girija Kuttan have evaluated the cytotoxic activity of 30C and 200C potencies of ten dynamized medicines against Dalton’s Lymphoma Ascites, Ehrlich’s Ascites Carcinoma, lung fibroblast (L929) and Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cell lines and compared activity with their mother tinctures during short-term and long-term cell culture. The effect of dynamized medicines to induce apoptosis was also evaluated and they have studied how dynamized medicines affected genes expressed during apoptosis. Mother tinctures as well as some dynamized medicines showed significant cytotoxicity to cells during short and long-term incubation. Potentiated alcohol control did not produce any cytotoxicity at concentrations studied. The dynamized medicines were found to inhibit CHO cell colony formation and thymidine uptake in L929 cells and those of Thuja, Hydrastis and Carcinosinum were found to induce apoptosis in DLA cells. Moreover, dynamized Carcinosinum was found to induce the expression of p53 while dynamized Thuja produced characteristic laddering pattern in agarose gel electrophoresis of DNA. These results indicate that dynamized medicines possess cytotoxic as well as apoptosis-inducing properties.

Recently, limited investigations on the efficacy of dynamized medicines in animal models as well as clinical trials have reported that potentiated Lycopodium clavatum has protective action against CCl₄-induced liver damage in rats (3) and that chelidonium 30C could ameliorate both p-dimethylaminoazobenzene and azodye-induced hepatocarcinogenesis in mice (4,5). Anti-genotoxic effect of different dynamized medicines has also been reported (6,7): Arsenicum album was found to ameliorate arsenic-induced toxicity in mice as well as in clinical studies and could reduce the elevated antinuclear antibody titer and hematological toxicities (8,9). Homeopathic therapy for asymptomatic HIV carriers has also proven beneficial (10) and recently Rajendran (11) reported homeopathy as a supportive therapy in cancer. Pathak et al. (12) investigated Ruta 6 on regression of human glioma brain cancer cell growth clinically and found that Ruta induces severe telomere erosion in MGRI brain cancer cells but has no effect on B-lymphoid cells and normal lymphocytes. Banerji and Banerji (13) reported that Ruta was effective for intracranial cysticercosis.

Very few investigations have explored the action of dynamized medicine in in vitro cell culture systems. Podophyllum has been shown to inhibit adhesion of neutrophils to serum-coated micro plates (14). Traumeen S, a homeopathic formulation used clinically to relieve trauma and inflammation has been shown to inhibit the production of Interleukin-β, TNF- and Interleukin-8 by human T cells and monocytes in culture (15). Many homeopathic drugs at low potencies were found to potentiate oxidative metabolism in cultured cells (16).

Although the healing potential of homeopathic drugs is widely accepted, the exact mechanism of action is still unclear. In paragraphs 63–69 of Organon, Hahneman describes the mechanism of action through the ‘primary action’ of the medicine (dynamized or not) and the ‘secondary and curative reaction’ of the organism: ‘Every agent that acts upon the vitality, every medicine, deranges more or less the vital force, and causes a certain alteration in the health of the individual for a longer or a shorter period. This is termed primary action. Although a product of the medicinal and vital powers conjointly, it is principally due to the former power. To its action our vital force endeavors to oppose its own energy. This resistant action is a property, is indeed an automatic action of our life-preserving power, which goes by the name of secondary action or counteraction’. We have tried to explain the mechanism of action of the dynamized preparations taking into consideration the original proposition by Samuel Hahnemann and have approached this problem by investigating the action of dynamized drugs in various cultured cells in a systematic scientific manner.

Cytotoxic activity of a drug is often considered a first step towards elucidating its possible use against cancer and all of the drugs selected are being used by homeopathic practioners against cancer. They have  found that in short-term cytotoxicity research, some of the dynamized preparations showed significant cytotoxic actions against cancer cell lines and at times the activity was higher than that of the mother tinctures. For example, Conium at 200C potency was more cytotoxic than its mother tincture and that the cytotoxicity induced by Carcinosinum was higher at 200C than at 30C potency indicating that dynamization induces the cytotoxic potential of these medications. Results were more pronounced during MTT assay in which a longer period of incubation was involved. Many dynamized preparations at potency of 200C inhibited the growth of L929 cells. Clonogenic assay using CHO cells is a standard method to determine growth inhibitory activity of the drugs and we found that dynamized preparations of Thuja, Hydrastis, Carcinosinum and Podophyllum at 200C potency almost completely inhibited the CHO colony formation. As in other cases, Conium 200C was more active than 30C. We have confirmed the cytotoxic potential of dynamized preparations by thymidine uptake, for the marker of the inhibition DNA synthesis. As in the case other experiments, DNA synthesis was significantly inhibited by several dynamized preparations.

Cytotoxicity could be produced in cells either by necrosis or by apoptotic induction. Apoptosis, which is known as programmed cell death is highly regulated by events taking place within the cell and is highly relevant with respect to the destruction and removal of transformed cells from the body. The induction of apoptosis could be an external agent and a cascade of reactions taking place within the cell produces an ultimate cell death. Some of the events via occurring during apoptosis include morphological changes in the cell, production of apoptotic bodies, damage to genetic material and finally induction of proteolytic enzymes, which produces cellular destruction. Apoptosis could be visualized by morphology and DNA laddering. In the present study, dynamized preparations induced apoptosis as observed from their morphology and DNA laddering. Moreover, dynamized preparation of Carcinosinum could induce the p53, which is considered to be a proapoptotic protein and involved in signal transduction pathway.

The mechanism of action of some of the homeopathic drugs has been proposed. Potentiated preparation of Ruta possesses protective action on normal B-lymphoid cells against H₂O₂-induced chromosomal damage (13). Moreover, the telomere erosion was enhanced in cancer cells by treatment with Ruta while normal cells showed no change. Thus, the telomeres that protect individual chromosomes of cancer cells are damaged by Ruta, which may be the mechanism of its therapeutic action in brain cancer (13).

The protective effect of Chelidonium against p-DAB-induced hepatic cancer may occur by the modulating effect of the drug on restoration of damage caused to several gene-regulated phenomena like enzyme activities and chromosomal abnormalities. This gives insight into the mechanism of action, which may be by means of interfering with the process of carcinogenesis by actively modifying actions of oncogenes or by activating tumor suppressor genes (5). Another mechanism of actions of homeopathic drugs may occur through immune modification. Benveniste (17) has shown that human basophils undergo degranulation not only at usual anti-IgE antibody doses but also at extremely high dilutions. Bastide (18)has shown the therapeutic effect of high dilution of –β interferon and thymic hormones on cellular immunity and had good therapeutic effect in immunodepressed patients. Similarly Bentwich et al. (19) revealed that small amounts of antigens are capable of specific antibody response. The role of immunity in the therapeutic efficacy of homeopathic medicines has also been reviewed (20).

There  results indicate that the dynamized preparation initially produces a secondary action on cells that is in line with the original proposition by Hahnemann on the mechanism of action of medicines dynamized or not. However, limited knowledge in this area does not fully explain the mechanism of action of all drugs . More scientific analyses are warranted to elucidate these interesting preparations of ultra dilutions.

This Cochrane review evaluated homeopathic medicines used to prevent or treat side effects of cancer treatments.

First, the details.

• 8 studies in 664 participants were selected for review.
  • 3 studied adverse effects of radiotherapy
  • 3 studied adverse effects of chemotherapy
  • 2 studied menopausal symptoms associated with breast cancer treatment

And, the results.

• 2 studies in 254 patients reported superiority of topical calendula (aka marigold) over trolamine (a topical non-steroidal drug) to prevent radiotherapy-induced dermatitis.
• A study of 32 patients demonstrated superiority of Traumeel S over placebo as a mouthwash for chemotherapy-induced stomatitis (inflammation of the mouth).
  • Traumeel is a homeopathic anti-inflammatory and analgesic preparation containing 12 botanicals and 2 minerals.
• 2 other studies reported positive results, although the risk of bias was unclear.
• 4 studies reported negative results.

The bottom line?
Yes, there’s some supporting evidence for calendula and Traumeel S, concluded the authors. However, “there is no convincing evidence for the efficacy of homeopathic medicines for other adverse effects of cancer treatments.”

Regarding radiotherapy-induced dermatitis: Researchers from Princess Margaret Hospital, in Ontario, Canada conducted a review to evaluate prevention and management of acute skin reactions related to radiation therapy. They concluded, “Skin washing… should be permitted in patients receiving radiation therapy to prevent acute skin reaction.”

They also concluded, “There is insufficient evidence to support or refute specific topical or oral agents [including calendula] for the prevention or management of acute skin reaction.”

Regarding chemotherapy-induced stomatitis: NHS Trust has published an algorithm to guide management of stomatitis and mucositis for oncology patients receiving chemotherapy.

Objective: Determine efficacy of administering 4 high dilution cytokines; platelet-derived growth factor BB, insulin-like-growth factor-1, transforming growth factor beta 1, and granulocyte-macrophage colony simulatin factor (GM-CSF).

Methods: Sixteen weeks treatment group (“TX”)/placebo group (“PL”): CD4 counts 200-500 and 16 weeks open label study: CD4 counts 1250550, 10 drops/3X day/bottle p.o. growth factor type or placebo. Exclusion criteria: antiretroviral or steroidal therapy. Monthly evaluations: T/B lymphocytes, blood chemistry plus lipids, complete blood count, platelets, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), weigh, opportunistic infections (OIs) and HIV viral load (open label only). Growth factors/cytokines diluted (10-60, 10-400, 10-2000 molar), well beyond Avogadro’s number.

Results: TX/PL started with CD4s of 330±14 cells/ul (SEM). TX (n=13) raised CD4 & CD8 counts by 13±12 cells/uL and 83±4 cells/uL, respectively, vs. -55±15 CD4 cells/uL (p<0.008) by 16 weeks and -246±60 CD8 cells/uL (p<0.04 within group) by 20 weeks in placebo group (n=9). TX had no OIs vs. 20% Ois in PL. ESR with treatment decreased from 19±3 to 11±2 mm/hr between 8th and 16th week (p<0.01) vs. no change in placebo group, 20±5 to 17±4 mm/hr. TX gained +2.0±1.0 lbs vs. -4.0±1.4 lbs. in the placebo (p<0.01). Viral load was measured monthly in a separate group of patients (n=8) with CD4 count of 242±23 cells/uL. Viral decreased from 203,400±106,300 to 105,000±43,500 RNA copies/mL after 16 weeks of treatment, a decrease of 0.3 log unit. When PL patients were crossed over to treament for another 16 weeks, CD4, CD8 counts and viral load stabilized (112,000±19,000 RNA copies/mL) plus weigh loss was reversed. Eight patients completed 11 months of treatment with ending viral loads of 19,500±6,000 and 38% had no detectable virus, with CD4 and CD8 counts stable at baseline values. Twenty-five percent of patients were thrombocytopenic. During their first month of treatment, platelets rose 23% (111,000±22,000 to 136,000±29,000 plt/uL); 57% patients achieved normal values. Two patients enrolled in a single high dilution GM-CSF treatment, rose from 16,000 to 48,000 and 141,000 to 174,000 plt/uL after only one month of treatment.

Results suggest that unknown biophysical mechanisms of high dilutional growth factors/cytokines may exert immunological effects in HIV/AIDS.

Sixty per cent of doctors’ surgeries in Scotland prescribe homeopathic or herbal remedies, according to a study of nearly two million patients, published in the December issue of the British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology.

Researchers from the University of Aberdeen analysed official prescribing data from 2003-4, covering 1.9 million patients from 323 practices.
Their findings have led them to call for a critical review of homeopathic and herbal prescribing in the UK National Health Service, particularly the high levels given to babies and children under 16.
The research team discovered that:
• 49 per cent of practices prescribed a total of 193 different homeopathic
remedies and 32 per cent prescribed 17 different herbal remedies.
• Five per cent of the practices included in the study prescribed 50 per cent
of the remedies and accounted for 46 per cent of the patients receiving
them.
• 4160 patients (2.2 per 1000 registered patients) were prescribed at least
one homeopathic remedy during the study period. 73 per cent were female
and the average age of patients was 47.
• Children under 12 months were most likely to be prescribed a homeopathic
or herbal remedy (9.5 per 1000 children in that age group), followed by
adults aged 81-90 (4.5 per 1000). 16 per cent of homeopathic prescribing
was to children under 16.
• 361 patients were prescribed at least one herbal remedy during the study
period (0.2 per 1000 registered patients) and 12 per cent of these were
children under 16 years old. 72 per cent of prescriptions were issued to
females and the average age was 61.
• Doctors who prescribed patients a homeopathic remedy also prescribed
them a median of four conventional medicines during the study period.
This figure went up to five for people prescribed herbal remedies.
• Four per cent of patients prescribed a herbal remedy were, at the same time, prescribed conventional medication that has been documented to
interact with herbal treatments.
• The top five prescribed homeopathic remedies were
Arnica montana (for injury, bruising),
Rhus toxicodendron (joint symptoms, headache)
Cuprum metallicum (cramp, poor circulation)
Pulsatilla (PMT, menopausal symptoms, breast feeding problems) and
Sepia (PMT, menopausal symptoms, fatigue).
• The top five prescribed herbal remedies were:
Gentian (poor appetite, digestive problems),
Cranberry (urinary tract infection)
Digestodoron (indigestion, heartburn, constipation)
Evening primrose (PMT) and Laxadoron (constipation)
“Our study shows that a substantial number of Scottish family doctors prescribe homeopathic and herbal remedies” says co-author Dr James McLay
from the University’s Department of Medicine and herapeutics.
“This level of prescribing raises important questions about homeopathic and herbal provision in the UK’s National Health Service
“The major problem with homeopathic preparations is the lack of scientific evidence that they are effective.
“Given the rise of evidence-based medicine and the trend toward prescribing
guidance in the UK, should therapies with no convincing positive clinical trial evidence be prescribed and funded by the health service?
“Or are proponents of such remedies correct in stating that the difficulties inherent in trialling such therapies make evidence irrelevant.
“Whatever the arguments, our study shows an apparent acceptance of homeopathic and herbal medicine within primary care, including extensive use
in children and young babies. We believe that these findings underline the need for a critical review of this prescribing trend.”
“The research by the University of Aberdeen adds an important dimension to the ongoing debate about homeopathic remedies, as it shows what is actually happening at grass roots in Scottish general practice,” adds Dr Jeffrey
Aronson, Editor-in-Chief of the Journal and Reader in Clinical Pharmacology at Oxford University.
“In September 2006 the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory
Agency (MHRA) introduced new rules to regulate homeopathic medicines, allowing manufacturers to specify the ailments for which they can be used.
“This move has been criticised by a number of leading UK scientific institutions, who argue that homeopathic medicines should not be allowed to make ‘unsubstantiated health claims’ and that the policy is damaging to patients’ best interests.
“We hope that this paper will further inform the debate, as it provides clear evidence on prescribing patterns within the NHS and raises a number of important issues, particularly about prescribing homeopathic and herbal remedies to children.”

The first double-blind crossover study ever performed was conducted by homeopaths in 1906. This study was run concurrently in eleven different cities on fifteen subjects. The documentation of this experiment consisted of 665 pages, published as Research Provings of Belladonna. Also at the turn of the nineteenth century, a book on homeopathic research was published called The Logic of Figures or Comparative Results of Homeopathic and Other Treatments. This book provided dozens of charts comparing disease and death rates in homeopathic and allopathic (mainstream) hospitals. This research also investigated statistics on the epidemic diseases of scarlet fever, yellow fever, and typhoid. The research showed that homeopathic hospitals had an average of 50 to 80 percent fewer deaths per 100 people, depending on the disease compared.
During World War II, an early double-blind study of homeopathy was sponsored by the British government. The experiment demonstrated that those given homeopathic remedies experienced a significant improvement in burns from mustard gas compared to those given placebo.
Many modern clinical trials are currently underway, looking for evidence of the efficacy of homeopathy from controlled trials in human subjects. More than 100 clinical trials have been conducted, some published in highly prestigious journals such as Lancet and JAMA. In 1997, K. Linde and W. Jonas, directors of the Alternative Medicine Evaluation Department of the National Institute of Health, co-signed a meta-analysis which evaluated 186 clinical trials on homeopathic therapies. Among the 105 trials whose results could be interpreted, 81 presented positive results, while homeopathy did not have a positive effect in 24 others. The authors concluded that, “the results of this meta-analysis are incompatible with the hypothesis that the clinical effects of homeopathy are due exclusively to a placebo effect.”
Proliferation of interest in the area of clinical research abounds. In April 2003, a two-day conference was held in London on the topic of clinical research. Dick Koster  reports: “Those who are opposed to homeopathy…base their conclusion on the last negative study…. Followers of homeopathy herald all positive news and complain about serious design flaws in negative studies…. Both sides claim their successes and failures as definitive while in reality, new research…would only add or subtract a small effect to or from the already existing evidence…of homeopathy being true.” This being said, Koster goes on to say that “homeopaths look at their patient results and believe that no amount of negative research could topple their belief in homeopathy.”
A recent double-blind study has shown the antiviral effect of homeopathic remedies. Eight of the ten remedies tested inhibited viruses in chicken embryos from 50 to 100 percent depending on the potencies used. German scientists at a Veterinary College showed use of the homeopathic remedy Chelidonium lowered serum cholesterol when given twice a day to rabbits on a cholesterol rich diet.
The British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology published a double-blind experiment on patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Of those given a homeopathic medicine, 82 percent experienced some relief of symptoms, while only 21 percent of those given a placebo experienced any similar degree of improvement.
Research has also been conducted in the use of homeopathy in cancer. In 77 mice that received a transplant in fibrosarcoma, 52 percent survived more than a year when treated with homeopathic remedies. The 77 untreated mice died within 10-15 days.
Many critics of homeopathic research site flaws in the designs of the studies, weakness in reporting and measuring techniques, small numbers of study participants, and the difficulties in replicating results. Homeopathy works and the proof is in the pudding. Because the science is based on one remedy for one person, it is difficult to construct studies and judge the results. Clinical results have noted homeopathic cures taking place around the globe for over 100 years. The miniscule doses are still immeasurable by today’s science, but in the future, equipment will be designed that can adequately measure the healing effects of homeopathy.

  Aim: To evaluate the zootechnic performance and occurrence of diarrhea in piglets in the week post-weaning comparing supplementation with sucrose saline which contained or did not contain added homeopathic medicine. Method: Animals were randomly divided into three groups of 24 piglets each. The control group did not receive any treatment. Another group received sucrose saline, and the third group received sucrose saline with homeopathic medicine added, in the period of zero to seven days post-weaning. The homeopathic treatment consisted of Echinacea angustifolia, Avena sativa, Ignatia amara, Calcarea carbonica, all 6cH. Piglets were weighed daily for weight gain or loss, and observed for diarrhea…

  Homeopathy has been used for more than two hundred years to treat chronic disease using various approaches in a wide range of diseases. However, for acute disease and critical illness, application has been limited by inadequate training of homeopathic physicians and the small number of pertinent clinical studies. In view of the difficulty of practising homeopathy in Intensive Care Units (ICU), a protocol was developed to facilitate description of objective homeopathic symptoms with a ranking of symptoms appropriate for these situations (Protocol for Objective Homeopathic Semiology). Examples of favorable results with individualized homeopathic treatments for a series of cases of…

  How can Randomised Controlled Trials (RCTs) change our beliefs? The fact that they do update prior beliefs to different posterior beliefs is explained by Bayesian philosophy.Crucial points in Bayesian analysis include setting the first prior expectation right and sequential updating of the prior in the light of new evidence. Bayesian analysis depends highly on the evidence included.RCT evidence can only falsify the placebo hypothesis, it cannot indicate which mechanism of action could be responsible for an intrinsic effect and therefore cannot overturn existing beliefs. Bayesian reasoning could structure further discussion, but subjectivity is an inherent element of this process. In…

Boenninghausen’s Repertory by Timothy Field Allen
This is the original Boenninghausen’s repertory composed by Baron Clemens Maria Franz von Boenninghausen and translated by T.F. Allen in 1891, although it is not as complete as Boenninghausen’s Repertory from C.M. Boger, it certainly does not lack the originality of approach. In this repertory we can clearly see the original Boenninghausen’s approach of dividing symptoms into their components according to Locality, Condition, Modality and Concomitants and repertorizing by putting these symptoms together based on patients symptomatology.

Sensations as if by Herbert Roberts
This is a truly unique repertory containing rare symptoms expressed as Sensations as if. It contains unique symptoms not listed even in the most modern repertories. This repertory is a must for a thorough prescriber.

Homeopathic Repertory by James Tyler Kent
This is a the classic among all the repertories. All the modern repertories have taken to some extent this repertory as their basis. It is the biggest and most complete of the older repertories.

Boenninghausen’s Repertory by Cyrus Maxwell Boger
A truly unique repertory that uses the characteristic approach of Boenninghausen. Although this repertory does not contain modern addition, from the point of view of completeness of remedies available in the repertory, it is considered the most complete and homogeneous repertory. The version you can find in OpenRep is the version from 1937 including Dunham’s notes.

General Analysis by Cyrus Maxwell Boger
Although small in size, this repertory is considered to be a life-saver when encountering difficult cases. It consists of a small number of very general symptoms with a lot of cross-references that allow to perform a general analysis of a case based on general symptoms and conditions.

Two New Studies Find Anti-Homeopathy Review Wrong

Source: Natural News

In August of 2005, the prestigious British medical journal the Lancet published a review comparing clinical trials of homeopathy with trials of conventional medicine. The conclusion of this study, which was widely hailed as evidence that homeopathy is worthless quackery, stated that homeopathic medicines are non-effective and, at best, just placebos. What’s more, an accompanying editorial in the Lancet said this “evidence” should close the door on the non-toxic, alternative treatment method, and flatly proclaimed this review should mark “the end of homeopathy”. Now two newly published studies, one in the journal Homeopathy and the other in the mainstream medical Journal of Clinical Epidemiology, have both gone on record to say the Lancet review was enormously flawed and downright inaccurate. Instead of showing homeopathy doesn’t work, the conclusion should have been that, at least for some ailments, it is effective.
Homeopathy involves giving very small doses of substances called remedies that, according to homeopathy, would produce the same or similar symptoms of illness in healthy people if they were given in larger doses. The goal of homeopathy is to stimulate the body’s defense system in order to prevent or treat illness. Homeopathy treatment is tailored to each individual and homeopathic practitioners work to select remedies according to a total picture of the patient, including not only symptoms but lifestyle, emotional and mental states, and other factors.
The original claim made in the Lancet review that homeopathic medicines are worthless treatments (other than being placebos) was based on six clinical trials of conventional medicine and eight studies of homeopathy. But what trials, exactly, were studied? It turns out the Lancet did not reveal this most basic information and, as the new studies point out, seriously flawed assumptions were made about the data that was presented. There are a limited number of homeopathic studies so it is not difficult to pick and choose facts to interpret selectively and unfavorably, which appears to be just what was done in the original Lancet anti-homeopathy article.
Bottom line: the Lancet’s report showing homeopathy is worthless lacked the academic care and scientific approach called for in medical journals. In fact, it could well be seen as a hack job.
In a statement to the press, George Lewith, Professor of Health Research at Southampton University in Great Britain, stated: “The review gave no indication of which trials were analyzed nor of the various vital assumptions made about the data. This is not usual scientific practice. If we presume that homeopathy works for some conditions but not others, or change the definition of a ‘larger trial’, the conclusions change. This indicates a fundamental weakness in the conclusions: they are NOT reliable.”
The two recently published scientific papers that investigated the previous Lancet review conclude that an analysis of all high quality trials of homeopathy show positive outcomes. What’s more, the eight larger and higher quality trials of homeopathy looked at a variety of medical conditions. The new studies point out that because homeopathy worked consistently for some of these ailments and not others, the results must indicate that homeopathic remedies can’t be simply placebos. In addition, the studies conclude that comparing homeopathy to conventional medicine was a meaningless apples-and-oranges approach. There are also concerns that the original anti-homeopathy review used unpublished criteria. For example, the researchers didn’t bother to define what they meant by “higher quality” homeopathy research.
The new studies not only cast serious doubts on the original Lancet review, which was headed by Professor Matthias Egger of the Department of Social and Preventive Medicine at the University of Berne, but they strongly indicate Egger and his team based their conclusions on a series of hidden judgments that were prejudiced against homeopathy. So far,Professor Egger has declined to comment on the findings of the new studies in Homeopathy and the Journal of Clinical Epidemiology,
A press statement from the National Center for Homeopathy explains that an open assessment of the current evidence suggests that homeopathy is probably effective for many conditions including allergies, upper respiratory tract infections and flu, but agrees that much more research is needed. To that end, the National Institutes of Health’s National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) has announced it is currently supporting research in these areas:
* Homeopathy for physical, mental, and emotional symptoms of fibromyalgia (a chronic disorder involving widespread musculoskeletal pain, multiple tender points on the body, and fatigue).
* Homeopathy to help relieve or prevent brain deterioration and damage in stroke and dementia.
* Homeopathy (specifically the remedy cadmium) to potentially prevent damage to the cells of the prostate when those cells are exposed to toxins.

OZONE
A New Medical Drug

    by

Velio Bocci
Medical Doctor, Specialist in Respiratory Diseases and Haematology and Emeritus Professor of Physiology at the University of Siena,
Siena, Italy

Oxygen-ozone therapy is a complementary approach less known than homeopathy and acupuncture because it has come of age only three decades ago. This book clarifies that, in the often nebulous field of natural medicine, the biological bases of ozone therapy are totally in line with classic biochemical, physiological and pharmacological knowledge. Ozone is an oxidising molecule, a sort of superactive oxygen, which, by reacting with blood components, generates a number of chemical messengers responsible for activating crucial biological functions such as oxygen delivery, immune activation, release of hormones and induction of antioxidant enzymes
, which is an exceptional property for correcting the chronic oxidative stress present in atherosclerosis, diabetes, infections and cancer. Moreover ozone therapy, by inducing nitric oxide synthase, may mobilize endogenous stem cells, which will promote regeneration of ischaemic tissues. The description of these phenomena offers the first comprehensive picture for understanding how ozone works and why, when properly used as a real drug within the therapeutic range, not only does not procure adverse effects but yields a feeling of wellness. Half of the book describes the value of ozone therapy in several diseases, particularly cutaneous infections and vascular diseases where ozone really behaves as a "wonder" drug. The book has been written for clinical researchers, physicians and ozonetherapists but also for the layman or the patient interested in this therapy.

आरम्भिक परिणाम तो कुछ –२ इसी तरफ़ इशारा कर रहे हैं । हाल ही मे स्पेन और कोलम्बिया यूनिवर्सटी से आये दो अलग-२ दलों ने कोलकाता के डा. प्रशान्त बैनर्जी कैन्सर रिसर्च सेन्टर ,  मे आ कर कैन्सर मे होम्योपैथिक दवाओं के परिणामों  की जानकारी और अध्यनन किया । कोलम्बिया यूनिवर्सीटी ने तो फ़िलहाल पिछले साल से इस सेन्टर से अनुबंध भी कर रखा है । देखे यहाँ और यहाँ ।

लेकिन बात रूटा और कोलकाता के डा. प्रशान्त बैनर्जी कैन्सर रिसर्च सेन्टर की । कुछ साल पहले पबमेड पर प्रकाशित एक रिसर्च पेपर ने कैन्सर से जुडॆ कई शोध संस्थान और स्वंयसेवी संस्थाऒं का ध्यान आकृष्ट किया । डा प्रशान्त बैनर्जी का तरीका हाँलाकि क्लासिकल होम्योपैथों को भले ही रास न आये क्योंकि यह होम्योपैथी के मूलभूत सिद्दातों के खिलाफ़ है , फ़िर भी मिलने वाले परिणाम होम्योपैथी मे एक नये युग की शुरुआत अवशय कर सकते हैं । प्रिसक्राबिग का तरीका आसान है और मूलत: disease diagnosis पर ही आधारित है जब कि क्लासिकल होम्योपैथी रोगी को संम्पूर्ण रूप से लेकर चलती है।। नीचे देखें साउथ कैलीफ़ोर्निया यूनीवर्सिटी  की एक कान्फ़्रेन्स मे प्रशान्त अपने तरीकों को श्रोतागणों को समझाते हुये । रुटा से संबधित डा. प्रशान्त बैनर्जी के इस लेख को आप यहाँ भी देख सकते है । रूटा पर चल रहे क्लीनीकल परीक्षण की जानकारी के लिये यहाँ देखें ।

Anti-tumour activity of Ruta graveolens extract.

An extract of Ruta graveolens was found to be cytotoxic to Dalton’s lymphoma ascites (DLA), Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC) and L929 cells in culture (IC100=16 mg/ml) and also to increase the lifespan of tumour bearing animals. The extract further decreased solid tumours developing from DLA and EAC cells when given simultaneously with elongation of the lifespan of tumour-bearing animals. A homeopathic preparation of Ruta graveolens (200 c) was equally effective. Neither was effective for reducing already developed tumours. The Ruta graveolens extract was found to scavenge hydroxyl radicals and inhibit lipid peroxidation at low concentrations. However, at higher concentrations the extract acted as a prooxidant as inhibition of lipid peroxidation and scavenging of hydroxyl radical was minimal. These data indicates that the prooxidant activity of Ruta graveolens may be responsible for the cytocidal action of the extract and its ability to produce tumour reduction.

Although conventional chemotherapies are used to treat patients with malignancies, damage to normal cells is problematic. Blood-forming bone marrow cells are the most adversely affected. It is therefore necessary to find alternative agents that can kill cancer cells but have minimal effects on normal cells. We investigated the brain cancer cell-killing activity of a homeopathic medicine, Ruta, isolated from a plant, Ruta graveolens. We treated human brain cancer and HL-60 leukemia cells, normal B-lymphoid cells, and murine melanoma cells in vitro with different concentrations of Ruta in combination with Ca3(PO4)2. Fifteen patients diagnosed with intracranial tumors were treated with Ruta 6 and Ca3(PO4)2. Of these 15 patients, 6 of the 7 glioma patients showed complete regression of tumors. Normal human blood lymphocytes, B-lymphoid cells, and brain cancer cells treated with Ruta in vitro were examined for telomere dynamics, mitotic catastrophe, and apoptosis to understand the possible mechanism of cell-killing, using conventional and molecular cytogenetic techniques. Both in vivo and in vitro results showed induction of survival-signaling pathways in normal lymphocytes and induction of death-signaling pathways in brain cancer cells. Cancer cell death was initiated by telomere erosion and completed through mitotic catastrophe events. We propose that Ruta in combination with Ca3(PO4)2 could be used for effective treatment of brain cancers, particularly glioma.

Thesis Paper

Ontario College of Homeopathic Medicine

By: Bryce Wylde and John vanDyk

Sports medicine is a branch of medicine that specializes in the prevention and treatment of injuries that result from physical training and participating in athletic events. Homeopathy is a branch of medicine that specializes in the prevention and treatment of a vast majority of disease and can include within its scope the treatment of injuries that commonly result from athletic participation. Homeopathy can be effective in treating common sports injuries as well as chronic diseases. It more specifically involves treating the vital life force, which provides resiliency, flexibility and ability to adapt to circumstances that we experience in daily life when under stress. In the case of sports injuries, conventional treatment modalities should also be considered as an adjunct to homeopathy.

Homeopathy should be the initial consideration for sports injuries, as homeopathics are non-toxic and do not have the dangerous side effects that are common with conventional medicine. Homeopathic remedies do not interact with other drugs, are non addictive, and will not affect drug tests that some athletes are required to perform. With the use of homeopathy, healing time can be cut by 50-85 % (American Homeopathy, June 1984). A well prescribed homeopathic remedy can help the body eliminate lactic acid and other toxins that build up during physical exertion and increase the oxygen supply in blood, improving stamina and recovery time. Because treatment of sports injuries is a first aid type treatment we can propose that there is not the same need for the level of individualization found in the treatment of chronic conditions. As in treating first aid conditions, many sports injuries result in very similar symptoms in individual sufferers, so theoretically a single remedy should be equally effective for any person suffering that particular sports injury. But whether the common homeopathic medicines that are well known for specific complaints of sports induced injury should in fact be considered primary and best indicated- even when implementing classical methodology- is an argument of this paper.

When prescribing acutely, it is important to get a remedy that matches the symptoms as closely as possible because it is important that a medicine is found which acts as quickly as possible. In regards to the latter, it is important to note that lower potencies should be used. For more severe pain you may go as high as 30CH. The more your remedy matches the symptoms, the higher you can go with the potency, even if the pain is not so severe. With a well-matched remedy at a high potency, you can expect to see results within the first few hours for most injuries. When initially giving a remedy for an injury, the remedy can be given every hour, or even more regularly, depending on the severity of the pain, and the frequency of repetition can be decreased as the pain decreases to a frequency of one dose every four hours.

Most sports injuries are due either to muscle strains and sprains from overuse or too much effort, injuries to the joints, and tears- all of which frequently result from not doing enough “warm-up” exercises. Among some of the most common sports injuries are runner’s knee, pulled hamstring muscles, Achilles’ tendonitis, ankle strain and sprain, and inflammation of joint connective tissue (bursitis) to name only a few. (Johnson, 1998)

The homeopathic treatment of any individual patient should be carried through using the defined classical homeopathic methods described in the Organon. That is the prescription should always be- based on homeopathic convention- that remedy which best fits the case by holistic symptom analysis whilst remaining unbiased of the “common” or most often prescribed homeopathic medicines and those symptoms recognized solely by physical indication. But it follows that in an acute situation and without any major differentiating or strikingly unusual symptoms, any athlete with a sprained ankle will likely be given that remedy which was prescribed for any other athlete with the same chief complaint. It is without a doubt that classical homeopathy can be effective in the acute relief or chronic recovery of any sports induced injury.

It is therefore the goal of this paper to define sports related injury in relation to classical homeopathy; to investigate anatomical predispositions for sports injury; to define conventional treatment plans; to study the efficacy of homeopathy in the treatment of those patients having suffered from acute or chronic sports induced injury; and finally to decipher whether the common homeopathic medicines that are well known for specific complaints of sports induced injury should in fact be considered primary and best indicated even when implementing classical homeopathic methodology.

अन्य चिकित्सा पद्दतियों की तुलना मे अगर देखें तो होम्योपैथिक चिकित्सा पद्दति  नवीन ही  है । सन १८०५ मे हैनिमैन ने होम्योपैथी के सिद्दातं को  खोजा और वर्ष १८१० मे इसे प्रतिपादित किया । लेकिन होम्योपैथी की राह आरम्भ से आज तक बिल्कुल भी आसान नही रही । हैनिमैन के जीवन काल मे हैनिमैन के समकक्ष चिकित्सकों ने उन्हें जर्मनी मे टिकने न दिया , अपने घर जर्मनी से बेधर  और भटकती हुयी इस चिकित्सा पद्दति को आखिरकार फ़्रांस मे जगह मिली ।हैनिमैन के जीवन काल मे ही होम्योपैथी भारत मे प्रवेश कर चुकी थी जब डां होनिगबरगर ने पंजाब के शासक महारजा रणजीत सिंह जी का इलाज किया ।

विशव के कई देशों मे होम्योपैथी काफ़ी लोकप्रिय है ; हाल ही मे एक सर्वे की रिपोर्ट के अनुसार  ६२ % भारत में , ५८ % ब्राजील मे , ५३ % सऊद सरब , ४९% चिली , ४९ % दुबई , ४० % फ़्रांस , ३५ % साऊथ अफ़्रीका , २८ % रूस, २७% जरमनी , २५% अरजन्टाइना , २५% हंगरी , १८% अमेरिका और १७% इंग्लैडं मे यह पद्दति लोकप्रिय है ।

इतनी लोकप्रिय होने के बावजूद होम्योपैथी का विरोध क्यू होता रहा , यह एक अचरज की बात लगती है ।

इधर काफ़ी अर्से से मीडिया और इन्टर्नेट पर होम्योपैथी के संबध मे अनर्गल प्रचार-प्रसार जोरों  पर है , मीडिया जो देख रहा है और जो वस्तुत: दिखा रहा है वह सिर्फ़ तस्वीर का एक पहलू है । यह ब्लाग उन भ्रम और भ्राँतियों को दूर करने के लिये एक कोशिश रहेगी । होम्योपैथी के संबध मे विरोध को समझने के लिये इस चिकित्सा पद्दति के सिंदांत और दर्शन को संक्षेप मे समझना होगा |

होम्योपैथी क्या है ?

होम्योपैथी शब्द यूनानी के दो शब्दों (Homois ) यानि सदृश (Similar ) और पैथोज ( pathos ) अर्थात रोग (suffering) से बना है । होम्योपैथी का अर्थ है सदृश रोग चिकित्सा । सदृश रोग चिकित्सा का सरल अर्थ है कि जो रोग लक्षण जिस औषध के सेवन से उत्पन्न होते हैं , उन्हीं लक्षणॊं की रोग मे सदृशता होने पर औषध द्वारा नष्ट किये जा सकते हैं । यह प्रकृति के सिद्दांत " सम: समम शमयति " यानि similia similbus curentur पर आधारित है ।

होम्योपैथी का उदभव

लगभग २०० वर्ष पूर्व जर्मन चिकित्सक डा सैमुएल हैनिमैन ने इस तथ्य को पाया कि स्वस्थ रहते हुये जब उनके द्वारा किसी  निशिचित रोग की औषधि दी गई जिससे बीमार व्यक्ति ठीक होता था तो उनमे भी रोग के लक्षण पाये गये । उदाहरण के लिये जब उन्होने सिंकोना छाल को ग्रहण किया जिसमे कुनेन की मात्रा रहती है तो वह बीमार पड गये और उनमे मलेरिया के लक्षण पाये गये । वह यह देख कर चकित रह गये  कि सिंकोना का प्रयोग मलेरिया उन्नमूलन के लिये होता है परन्तु उसका स्वस्थ व्यक्ति द्वारा प्रयोग करने पर मलेरिया के लक्षण विधमान हो गये ।

डा हैनिमैन ने प्रत्येक रोग के लक्षण पर पादप, खनिज, पशुओं द्वारा उत्पाद या रसायिनिक मिश्रण से अपने निरंतर प्रयोग करने के बाद पाया कि उनमे नियत रोग के लक्षण आलोकित हुये ।उन्होने पुन: यह देखा कि दो तत्वों के प्रयोग से एक जैसे रोग के लक्षण प्रतीत नही होते । उन्होने यह भी पाया कि प्रत्येक पदार्थ शरीर , मस्तिषक एवं संवेग को प्रभावित करता है ।

अंतत: हैनिमैन ने " सम: समम शमयति " के सिद्दांत को अपनाकर रोगोन्मूलन करना प्रारम्भ किया ।

होम्योपैथी के सिद्दांत एवं नियम

सदृश नियम ( Law of Similar )

यह होम्योपैथी के मूल सिद्दातं मे निहित है । इस नियम के अनुसार जिस औषधि की अधिक मात्रा स्वस्थ शरीर मे जो विकार पैदा करती है उसी औषधि की लघु मात्रा वैसे समलक्षण वाले प्राकृतिक लक्षणॊं को नष्ट भी करती है । इसी से " सम: समम शमयति " वाले सिद्दांत भी प्रतिपादित हुआ है । उदाहरण के लिये कच्चे प्याज काटने पर जुकाम के जो लक्षण उभरते हैं जैसे नाक, आँख  से पानी निकलना उसी प्रकार के जुकाम के स्थिति मे होम्योपैथिक औषधि ऐलीयम सीपा  देने से ठीक भी हो जाता है ।

एकमेव औषधि ( Single Medicine )

होम्योपैथी मे  रोगियों को एक समय मे एक ही औषधि को देने का निर्देश दिया जाता है ।

औषधि की न्यून मात्रा ( The Minimum dose )

सदृश विज्ञान के आधार पर रोगी की चयन की गई औषधि की मात्रा अति नयून होनी चाहिये ताकि दवा के दुष्परिणाम न दिखें । प्रथमत: यह शरीर की प्रतिरोधक क्षमता को सफ़ल करने मे घटक का काम करता है ।होम्योपैथिक औषधि को विशेष रुप से तैयार किया जाता है जिसे औषधि शक्तिकरण का नाम दिया जाता है ।ठॊस पदार्थों को ट्राच्यूरेशन और तरल पदार्थों को सक्शन प्रणाली से तैयार किया जाता है ।

व्यक्तिपरक और संपूर्ण चिकित्सा ( Individualization & Totality of Symptoms )

यह एक मूल प्रसंग है । यह सच भी है कि होम्योपैथी रोगों के नाम पर चिकित्सा नही करती । वास्तव मे यह रोग से ग्रसित व्यक्ति के मानसिक , भावत्मक तथा शारीरिक आदि सभी पहलूहॊं की चिकित्सा करती है । अस्थमा ( asthma) के पाँच रोगियों की होम्योपैथी मे एक ही दवा से चिकित्सा नही की जा सकती । संपूर्ण लक्षण के आधार पर यह पाँच रोगियों मे  अलग-२ औषधियाँ निर्धारित की जा सकती हैं ।

जीवनी शक्ति ( Vital Force )

हैनिमैन ने मनुष्य के शरीर मे जीवनी शक्ति को पहचान कर यह प्रतिपादित किया कि यह जीवनी शक्ति शरीर को बाह्य रुप से आक्रमण करने वाले रोगों से बचाती है । परन्तु रोग्की अवस्था मे यह जीवनी शक्ति रोग ग्रसित हो जाती है । सदृश विज्ञान के आधार पर चयन की गई औषधि इस जीवनी शक्ति के विकार को नष्ट कर शरीर को रोग मुक्त करती है ।

मियाज्म ( रोग बीज ) ( Miasm )

हैनिमैन ने पाया कि सभी पुराने रोगों के आधारभूत कारण सोरा ( psora), साइकोसिस ( sycosis) और सिफ़िलिस ( syphlis ) हैं ।इनको हैनिमैन ने मियाज्म शब्द दिया जिसका यूनानी अर्थ है प्रदूषित करना ।

औषधि प्रमाणन ( Drug Proving )

औषधि को चिकित्सा हेतु उपयोग करने के लिये उनकी थेरापुयिटक क्षमता का ज्ञान होना आवशयक है । औषधि प्रमाणन होम्योपैथी मे ऐसी प्रकिया है जिसमे औषधियों की स्वस्थ मनुष्यों मे प्रयोग करके दवा के मूल लक्षणॊं का ज्ञान किया जाता है । इन औषधियों का प्रमाणन स्वस्थ मनुष्यों पर किया जाता है और इनसे होने वाले लक्षणॊं की जानकारी के आधार पर सदृशता विज्ञान की मदद से रोगों का इलाज किया जाता है ।

संक्षेप मे यह है होम्योपैथी के सिंद्दांत और दर्शन । इसकी रुपरेखा  लिखना यहाँ इसलिये आवशयक है क्योंकि आगे होम्योपैथी के विरुद्द विरोध को समझने मे आसानी रहेगी । विरोध के प्रमुख कारणॊं मे एक प्रमुख कारण होम्योपैथिक औषधियों की न्यून मात्रा भी  है । होम्योपैथिक औषधियों की न्यून मात्रा को विस्तार मे समझने के लिये औषधि निर्माण की प्रक्रिया को समझना पडेगा । होम्योपैथिक औषधियों मे प्राय: दो प्रकार के स्केल प्रयोग किये जाते हैं ।

क) डेसीमल स्केल ( Decimal Scale )

ख) सेन्टीसमल स्केल ( Centesimal Scale )

क) डेसीमल स्केल मे दवा के एक भाग को vehicle ( शुगर आग मिल्क ) के नौ भाग से एक घंटॆ तक कई चरणॊं मे विचूर्णन ( triturate ) किया जाता है । इनसे बनने वाली औषधियों को X शब्द से जाना जाता है जैसे काली फ़ास 6x इत्यादि । 1X  बनाने के लिये दवा का एक भाग और दुग्ध-शर्करा का ९ भाग लेते हैं , 2X के लिये 1X का एक भाग और ९ भाग दिग्ध शर्करा का लेते हैं ; ऐसे ही आगे कई पोटेन्सी बनाने के लिये पिछली पोटेन्सी का एक भाग लेते हुये आगे की पावर को बढाते हैं । डेसीमल स्केल का प्रयोग ठॊस पदार्थॊं के लिये किया जाता है ।

ख) सेन्टीसमल स्केल मे दवा के एक भाग को vehicle ( एलकोहल) के ९९ भाग से सक्शन किया जाता है । इनकी इनसे बनने वाली औषधियों को दवा की शक्ति या पावर से जाना जाता है । जैसे ३०, २०० १००० आदि । सक्शन सिर्फ़ दवा के मूल अर्क को एल्कोहल मे मिलाना भर नही है बल्कि उसे सक्शन ( एक निशचित विधि से स्ट्रोक देना )  करना है । आजकल सक्शन के लिये स्वचालित मशीन का प्रयोग किया जाता है जब कि पुराने समय मे यह स्वंय ही बना सकते थे । पहली पोटेन्सी बनाने के लिये दवा के मूल अर्क का एक हिस्सा और ९९ भाग अल्कोहल लिया जाता है , इसको १० बार सक्शन कर के पहली पोटेन्सी तैयार होती है ; इसी तरह दूसरी पोटेन्सी के लिये पिछली पोटेन्सी का एक भाग और ९९ भाग अल्कोहल ; इसी तरह आगे की पोटेन्सी तैयार की जाती हैं ।

विरोध का मूल कारण और आवोग्राद्रो ( Avogadro’s  ) की परिकल्पना

रसायन विज्ञान के नियम के अनुसार किसी भी वस्तु को तनु करने की एक परिसीमा है और इस परिसीमा मे रहते हुये यह आवशयक है कि उस तत्व का मूल स्वरुप बरकरार रहे । यह परिसीमा आवोग्राद्रो की संख्या ( 6.022 141 99 X 10²³ ) से संबधित है जो होम्योपैथिक पोटेन्सी 12 C से या 24 x से मेल खाता है । यानि आम भाषा मे समझें तो होम्योपैथिक दवाओं की १२ वीं पोटेन्सी और 24 X पोटेन्सी मे दवा के तत्व विधमान रहते हैं उसके बाद नही । होम्योपैथिक के विरोधियों के हाथ यह एक तुरुप का पत्ता था और जाहिर है उन्होने इसको खूब भुनाया भी ।

यह बिल्कुल सत्य है कि रसायन शास्त्र के अनुसार होम्योपैथी समझ से बिल्कुल परे है । लेकिन पिछले २४ वर्षों  मे १८० नियंत्रित ( controlled ) और ११८  यादृच्छिक ( randomized )  परीक्षणों को अलग -२ ४ मेटा तरीकों  से होम्योपैथी का विश्लेषण करने के उपरांत प्रत्येक मामले में  शोधकर्ताओं ने यह निष्कर्ष निकाला कि होम्योपैथी दवाओं से मिलने वाले परिणाम प्लीसीबो से बढ कर हैं ।

होम्योपैथी के संबध मे प्राथमिक प्रशन उभरता है कि क्या सक्शन ( succession ) किये गये SAD ( serially agitated dilutes )  को तरल वाहनों जैसे एल्कोहल या जल  ( liquid vehicles e.g. alcohol , water etc )  से अलग कर के पहचान की जा सकती है जो होम्योपैथिक औषधि के रुप मे उपचार के लिये प्रयोग किये जाते हैं । हाँलाकि इससे प्लीसीबो के आरोपों से मुक्ति नही पा जा सकती लेकिन इससे पता अवशय चलता है कि हर औषधि की अपनी विशेषता क्या है ।

एक सदी से  मेडिकल साहित्य की समीक्षा करने से पता चलता है कि ऐसे कई रिपोर्ट उपलब्ध हैं जिससे यह पहचान की जा सकती है कि इन उच्च  potentised  dilutes का प्रभाव जीवाणु , प्राणि विषयों , वनस्पति और यहाँ तक कि जन्तुओं पर भी असरदारक है । इनके लिये भौतिकी और बायोकेमिस्ट्री दोनों का ही समय-२ पर प्रमाण स्वरुप सहायता ली गई । हाँलाकि इन रिपोर्टों से SAD की आणविक संरचना समझ मे नही आती लेकिन यह बिल्कुल तय है कि यह SAD  तरल वाहनों ( liquid vehicles ) से हटकर हैं ।

नीचे कुछ रिपोर्टॊ का आकलन है ।

Krawkow- Demonstrated 15c histamine increased the blood flow in isolated rabbit ears 25% and using 12c microdoses of adrenaline, strychnine, histamine and quinine was able to affect the change of pigmentation in the isolated skins of frogs. Controls were used. “Beyond the Boundary of Sensibility of Living Protoplasm” Zeitschrift fur die Gesamte Experimntalle Medizin, 34 pp.279-306
6. 1925 G. Stearns & M. Stark reported the action of microdilutes on fruit fly tumors. In this fascinating study we see that microdilutes actually altered the genetics of their subjects. A genetically determined tendency to tumor formation ceased to exist after the administration of a microdilution of the tumor itself (isopathy). Controls were used. Other microdilutes were used to no effect. “Experiments with Homeopathic Potentized Substances Given to Dropsophilia Melanogaster with Hereditary Tumors”, The Homeopathic Recorder, 40.
7. 1925 G. Stearns tested microdilutions of salt on guinea pigs and demonstrated adverse affects from 30c to 1000c sodium chloride. He noted loss of appetite, aversion for bread, loss of weight, their young poorly nourished and scrawny, less active, indifferent, hair less glossy, rough, untidy, eyes watery, lack luster. And homeopaths brag that their “remedies” (which are actually legal drugs) can do no harm! There were 16 female control animals, and they all became pregnant, whereas only 31% of the 48 female experimental animals became pregnant. At the end of five months over half, 55% of the experimental animals were dead compared to only 35% of the control animals “Experimental Data on One of the Fundamental Claims in Homeopathy”, The Journal of the American Institute of Homeopathy, 18.
8. 1927 Karl Konig used microdilutes to experiment on frogs and fungi. He discovered that by using dilutions of of lead and silver nitrate ranging from 1 to 15c he could cause a premature metamorphosis in Rana fusca (common frog tadpoles) or kill them or the fungus in the water. Once again here we see that homeopathic drugs can have negative organic affects. Controls were used and the sinusoidal curve that we see in many experiments of diverse measures is first noted here. “On the Effect of Extremely Diluted (”Homeopathic”) Metal Salt Solutions on the Development and Growth of Tadpoles. Zeitschrift fur die Gesamte Experimentalle Medizin, 34, pp. 279-306
9. 1929 Vladimir Vondracek repeated Konig’s work, and instead of lead and silver nitrate used gold chloride and a different species of frog. At 12c he also reported a significant increase in the mortality of tadpoles, and also obtained a repetition of the sinusoidal curve. “The Mortality of Tadpoles in Ultra Solutions” Zeitschrift fur die Gesamte Experimentelle Medizin. 66 pp. 533-538

46. 2001 Geckeler, Kurt and Samal, Shashadhar at the Kwangju Institute of Science and Technology in South Korea discovered fullerenes, football-shaped buckyball molecules, formed aggregates in solution, and when diluted, the size of the fullerene particles increased. Cyclodextrin molecules behaved the same way. So did the organic molecule sodium guanosine monophosphate, DNA and sodium chloride. Dilution made molecules cluster five to 10 times bigger than those in the original solutions. Growth was not linear, and depended on the original concentration. Geckeler and Samal found that the more dilute the solution inthebeginning, the larger the aggregates become, and only worked in polar solvents like water, in which one end of the molecule has a pronounced positive charge while the other end is negative.

1. Variation in Fourier transform infrared spectra of some homeopathic potencies and their diluent media. Department of Zoology, Visva-Bharati University, Santiniketan, West Bengal, India. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to determine whether potentized homeopathic drugs and their diluent media differ from each other with respect to their Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra.
2. DESIGN: FTIR spectra of Nux vomica 30C, Lycopodium 30C, Santonin 30C, Cina 30C, Cina 206C, Cina 1006C, and their diluent media 90% ethanol and Ethanol 30C were obtained in the wave number range of 2000-1000 cm1 at 20 degrees C. Potassium bromide powder soaked with the potencies, pressed into pellets, and air dried were used to measure the spectra. Because water structures in homeopathic potencies are thought to carry specific information on drug molecules and because O-H bending vibrational band (v2) exclusively belongs to water, the study was restricted to the bands in that wave number region. Alcohol has no absorption in the O-H bending region. RESULTS: The potencies were found to differ from each other and their diluent media in the number of v2 bands, their wave number (cm1), shape, and half-width (cm1) of the bands.

Jimenez, Margarita, Stephen Gloyd, "Treatment of Acute Childhood Diarrhea with Homeopathic Medicine: A Randomized Clinical Trial in Nicaragua," Pediatrics, May 1994, 93,5:719-25. This randomized double-blind study involving 81 children was conducted in Nicaragua in cooperation with the University of Washington and the University of Guadalajara. The results showed that, the individualized homeopathic medicine showed clinically and statistically significant improvement in the children’s diarrhea, compared to the children treated with placebo. Children that received homeopathic medicine recovered from infection 20% faster than the children treated with placebo. The children who were more sick reacted to the homeopathic treatment in a spectacular manner. In total the study used 18 different homeopathic medicines selected on an individualized basis according to the symptoms of each child.

1. The effectiveness of homeopathic treatment was proved is diabetic retinitis. (Zicari, et al., "Valutazione dell’azione Angioprotettiva di Preparati di Arnica nel Trattamento della Retinpatia Diabetica," Bolletino de Oculistica, 1992, 5:841-848).

1. White mice were exposed to X radiation with a power of 100 to 200 rad (non lethal dosage) and were then evaluated after 24, 48 and 72 hours. Ginseng 6X, 30CH and 200CH and Ruta graveolans 30CH and 200CH were given before and after the radiation. In comparison to mice who received placebo, those who were administered with homeopathic medicines presented significantly less damage in cells and chromosomes. (A.R. Khuda-Bukhsh, S. Banik, "Assessment of Cytogenetic Damage in X-irradiated Mice and its Alteration by Oral Administration of Potentized Homeopathic Drug, Ginseng D200," Berlin Journal of Research in Homeopathy, 1991, 1,4/5:254. Also Khuda-Bukhsh, A.R. Maity, S., "Alteration of Cytogenetic Effects by Oral Administration of Potentized Homeopathic Drug, Ruta graveolens in Mice Exposed to Sub-lethal X-radiation," Berlin Journal of Research in Homeopathy, 1991, 1, 4/5:264).

1. In a study conducted in the Moscow People’s Friendship University, the electric activity of the muscular wall of the stomach and duodenum was studied after the effect of the homeopathic medicine Nux Vomica (A. Zavadskaya, K. Privalova, S. Pasin, G. Loukas, Department of Homeopathy).

1. In an experiment using cats the effect of the medicine Nux Vomica 30CH was studied after applying it to the region of electrodes in the cardia of the stomach, the body, the pylorus and the duodenal bulb. After the application of the medicine, the muscular activity in the body increased by 3.2 times, 2.1 times in the pylorus, while in the duodenal bulb it was reduced by 2.2 times. The experiment proved the ability of the homeopathic medicine Nux Vomica to have an effect on the function of the stomach. The results of this experiment agree with the results of the homeopathy experimental proof for this medicine.

1. In another research conducted in the same university, the endurance of mice under hypoxia conditions due to the administration of the homeopathic medicine Hydrogenium Peroxydatum 30CH was studied (A. Chochlov, A. Zavadskaya, Ch. Efstathiou, G. Loukas, Department of Homeopathy). Two groups of mice were used, one of which received homeopathic medicine and the other placebo. Mice who received placebo were the healthier ones while mice that received the homeopathic medicine were the weaker ones. An experimental model was used, where the two groups were placed under high altitude conditions. Mice that received the homeopathic medicine showed faster and better adaptation to hypoxia conditions. Furthermore, when they returned to normal conditions, they reverted to their normal state more quickly and had longer life duration than the mice of the other group.

1. In another research conducted in the same university, the effect of the homeopathic medicine Berberis vulgaris on the lymphatic drainage was studied (A. Zavadskaya et al.). Plant tincture and homeopathic medicines in the 3rd, 6th and 30th potency were given to mice. Initially the time of drainage of the coloring substance from the intestine to the mesentery was measured before providing any medicine. Then the various medicines were tested and the drainage time was measured. The study of the results showed that the potentized forms of Berberis vulgaris increase the lymphatic drainage while the corresponding plant tincture contains it. Especially the 3rd and 6th potencies increased the drainage more in the intestine than in the mesentery while the 30th increased it to the same degree in both the intestine and the mesentery.

1. First double blind study: This cross-over study ever performed was done by homoeopaths. This impressive study was done concurrently in eleven different cities on fifteen subjects. This particular experiment consisted of 665 pages, which was the research proving of belladonna. [Howard P. Bellows. The test drug proving of the O.O. and L.

“INSTRUMENTAL MEASURING OF DIFFERENT HOMEOPATHIC DILUTIONS OF POTASSIUM IODIDE IN WATER” Igor Jerman, M.D., Sc.D., Full Professor of Theoretical Biology, Maja Berden, M.A. Biology, Metod Škarja, M.A. Physics, BION, Institute for Bioelectromagnetics and New Biology,Celovška 264, 1000 LJUBLJANA, Slovenia (Received October 10,1998; Accepted with revisions March 10, 1999) Although more than 200 years have elapsed since the beginning of homeopathy and in spite of numerous confirmatory scientific experiments, the so-called memory of water is still a highly disputable and controversial theme in scientific circles. To make a contribution to solving this riddle, our research group tried to examine memory properties of water by the method of differential corona discharge Kirlian electrophotography of water-drop pairs. The method is based on a modified form of Kirlian photography with a subsequent thorough computer picture analysis. The potassium iodide (KI) mother solution (0.1M) was diluted in the standard way (without potentisation) or with potentisation (succussion by hand – by striking the vial 60 times against a large book as used traditionally) to 10^-3M, 10^-6M, 10^-10M, 10^-16M, 10^-17M and 10^-24M KI solutions. In the electrophotography method a drop of KI solution was compared with a drop of control water. To get a dependable system of results we compared homeopathic dilutions with ordinary distilled water, sham-potentised distilled water and non-potentised (standard) solutions. The results were analyzed by the Chi-square Goodness-of-fit test and the Sign test. They showed repeatable and statistically significant effects of concentration of KI dilutions as well as potentisation on the corona discharge process (from p < 0.05 to p < 0.001). This indicates that there is some physical basis of molecular (ionic) information imprinted into water.

Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications
Volume 323, 15 May 2003, Pages 67-74 Ultra-high dilutions of lithium chloride and sodium chloride (10^-30 gcm^-3) have been irradiated by X- and ?-rays at 77 K, then progressively rewarmed to room temperature. During that phase, their thermoluminescence has been studied and it was found that, despite their dilution beyond the Avogadro number, the emitted light was specific of the original salts dissolved initially.

Karen Nieber, a professor of pharmacology at the University of Leipzig, merely wanted to prove that homeopathy doesn’t work. She put a rat’s intestine in a fluid culture medium and used organic threads to fix it to a sensor so that she could measure any shortening of the intestine caused by cramps. Then she added a stimulant (atropine) to the fluid culture medium to produce severe cramps in the rat’s intestine. The intestine shrank and the scales showed a strong traction. When she then added belladonna X 90 to the culture medium, the intestine relaxed and the scales showed less traction. This proved that homeopathy is effective in the absence of any material substances – and in 2003 she won the Hans Heinrich Reckeweg award

Scientific Research and Homeopathy: Water (Memory)

A new geometrical description of entanglement and the curative homeopathic process Milgrom LR. Homeopathy Research Institute, London, United Kingdom J Altern Complement Med. 2008 Apr;14(3):329-39

Korean scientists prove homeopathy Benveniste’s dilutions went way beyond the level investigated by the Korean chemists Samal and Geckeler. The highest dilutions could have contained nothing but water molecules. Yet, these gave effects just as if the drug molecules were still present. The water appears to remember the original molecules dissolved in it.

Rustum Roy This paper does not deal in any way with, and has no bearing whatsoever on, the clinical efficacy of any homeopathic remedy. However, it does definitively demolish the objection against homeopathy, when such is based on the wholly incorrect claim that since there is no difference in composition between a remedy and the pure water used, there can be no differences at all between them. We show the untenability of this claim against the central paradigm of materials science that it is structure (not composition) that (largely) controls properties, and structures can easily be changed in inorganic phases without any change of composition. The burden of proof on critics of homeopathy is to establish that the structure of the processed remedy is not different from the original solvent.

Dynamics of hydrogen bonds: how to probe their role in the unusual properties of liquid water Jos Teixeira et al 2006 J. Phys.: Condens. Matter 18 S2353-S2362 doi:10.1088/0953-8984/18/36/S09

A special issue of the journal Homeopathy, journal of the Faculty of Homeopathy and published by Elsevier, on the Memory of Water brings together scientists from around the world for the first time to publish new data, reviews and discuss recent scientific work exploring the idea that water can display memory effects. The concept of memory of water is important to homeopathy because it offers a potential explanation of the mechanism of action of very high dilutions often used in homeopathy.

Chemists in Korea have discovered Benveniste’s dilutions went way beyond the level investigated by the Korean chemists Samal and Geckeler. The highest dilutions could have contained nothing but water molecules. Yet, these gave effects just as if the drug molecules were still present. The water appears to remember the original molecules dissolved in it.

Martin Chapman website on water structure references 1,200+ primarily peer-review articles. Chaplin is an objective observer of water structure and homeopathy, and his summary of the research is that homeopathic solutions are clearly not the same thing as plain water.

प्रोस्ट्रेट एक तरह की ग्रंथि है जो ठीक अखरोट जैसी लगती है । पुरषों के -मूत्राशय ( bladder ) के गले के जिस स्थान से मूत्रनली ( ureter) आरम्भ होती है , उस जगह ( गले ) को यह ग्रन्थि घेरे रहती है । जनेन्द्रिय की जड की हड्डी ( symphysis pubis) और रेक्टम ( rectum ) के ऊपर उसका पिछला अंश ( posterior portion ) और रेक्टम के ऊपर उसका पिछला अंश (posterior portion ) स्थित रहता है । प्रोस्ट्रेट ग्रंन्थि से निकलने वाला स्त्राव संगम के समय शुक्र प्रवाह मे सहायता करता है ।

प्रोस्ट्रेट के रोग

अधिकतर ४०-६० वर्ष मे आरम्भ हो सकते है । प्रोस्ट्रेट बढ जाने के कारण रोगी को लगातार कष्ट कर पेशाब  रुक-२ कर  और तकलीफ़ के साथ होता है । प्रोस्ट्रेट के रोग दो वर्ग मे आते हैं बैनाइन (Benign)  और असाध्य (malignant ) । बैनाइन (Benign) और प्रास्टेटाइटिस ( prostatitis ) और बी.पी.एच. ( B.P.H. ) बैनाइन (benign) के अंतर्गत आते हैं और कभी भी खतरनाक रुख नही लेते जबकि एडेनीकारसीनोमा ( adenocarcinoma )  असाध्य (malignant ) वर्ग  मे आते हैं ।

होम्योपैथिक औषधियों के प्रभाव :

काफ़ी लम्बे समय से प्रोस्ट्रेट के उपचार के लिये होम्योपैथिक चिकित्सक sabal serrulta Q पर निर्भ्रर रहते रहे है जिसके परिणाम काफ़ी अच्छे दिखते रहे हैं लेकिन सेन्ट्र्ल काउन्सिल आफ़ होम्योपैथी ने प्रोस्ट्रेट से संबधित महत्वपूर्ण लक्षणॊं को ध्यान रखते हुये रिपरटारिजेशन हेतु लक्षणॊं की सूची और औषधियों की एक सूची रखी है जो CCRH के लखनऊ , नोएडा, सिलीगुडी, भोपाल और तित्रुपति के सेन्ट्रल पर ट्रायल के लिये जारी की गयी है । देखें नीचे चित्र और डाऊनलोड करें pdf ।

The prostate is a muscular, walnut-sized gland that surrounds part of the urethra, the tube that transports urine and sperm out of the body. A part of the male reproductive system, the prostate secretes seminal fluid, a milky substance that combines with sperm produced in the testicles to form semen. During sexual climax, muscles in the prostate propel this mixture through the urethra and out through the penis.
Anatomy and Physiology
The prostate is located directly beneath the bladder and in front of the rectum. Because the upper portion of the urethra passes through the prostate, if the gland becomes enlarged it can obstruct the passage of fluid through the urethra. While this is uncomfortable, it generally does not impair a man’s ability to function sexually; however, the discomfort nd embarrassment it causes can interfere with sexual activity.
Diseases of the Prostate
Benign diseases are noncancerous. They can be uncomfortable and inconvenient but are not life-threatening, and often can be treated with drugs or surgery. The two main benign diseases of the prostate are prostatitis and Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). The main malignant (cancerous) disease of the prostate is adenocarcinoma of the prostate, or prostate cancer.
Role of Homeopathy
In homeopathy literature various medicines are given for the treatment of prostatic enlargement but no significant work has being done to elicit their efficacy. As such there is need to explore the efficacy of homeopathic medicines otherwise indicated for various diagnostic symptoms of Benign prostatic hyperplasia in the homeopathic literature.
Central Council Of Homeopathy, India has undertaken this project in its  Lucknow, Gudiwada, Bhopal, Noida, triputh & siliguri centres .

Objectives: The objectives of the study were to evolve a group of most effective homoeopathic medicines in chronic cervicitis and cervical erosion and to identify their reliable indications, useful potencies, frequency of administration and relationship with other medicines.

Methods: The study was undertaken by Central Council for Research in Homoeopathy at its Units/Institute at Shimla, Imphal, Varanasi, Tirupathi and New Delhi. Cases of Cervicitis and Cervical erosion, presenting with vaginal discharge, low backache, lower abdominal pain/discomfort or dyspaerunia confirmed by P/V & P/S examination were enrolled in the study. Cases suffering from other chronic disease(s) or under other system of treatment were excluded from the study. Homoeopathic medicines were prescribed on the basis of totality of symptoms of each case, in mother tincture (Q) or 6C, 30C, 200C & 1M potency. A total of 3213 cases were followed up for one year. Assessment of improvement was done on predefined parameters.

Results: There was varying degrees of improvement; 261 cases were cured, 1104 cases improved markedly, 982 cases moderately, 713 cases mildly and 153 cases did not improve. Medicines found effective were: Alumina(n=114), Borax(n=67), Calcarea carbonicum(n=200), Caulophyllum(n=170), Hydrastis(n=110), Kreosotum(n=300), Lachesis(n=160), Mercurius solubilis (n=74), Natrum muriaticum(n=97), Pulsatilla(n=429) and Sepia(n=433). A few of the cases, who required repeated cauterization in the past, got cured permanently and required no cauterization after homoeopathic treatment.

Conclusion: Sepia alone emerged as the most frequently indicated medicine for Cervicitis and Cervical erosion. The objective to identify indications of homoeopathic medicines was achieved. But, other objectives, such as relationship between different medicines, could not be achieved.

This Clinical  study was undertaken under guidance of Dr. V.P. Singh
Central Council for Research in Homoeopathy , New Delhi at the RRI, Mumbai (May, 1989) and CRU, Chennai (October, 1991)  by CCRH to ascertain whether homoeopathy can play a role in the treatment and management of HIV infection . The results obtained during the pilot study prompted a randomized placebo controlled study at Mumbai (1995-97). The results of the study were published in the British Homeopathic Journal (1999).

In  between April 1998 and March 2003  , 237 HIV infected individuals including, 96 Females and 8 children less than 10 years of age were enrolled in the study .Three of these individuals were suffering from concurrent Hepatitis B infection and 2 were reactive to VDRL . Amyleum Nitrosum, Azathioprine,
Cocainum Muriaticum and Cyclosporine were primarily used as medicines under trial . Other Homoeopathic medicines were used only during seasonal minor ailments based on presenting signs and symptoms.

Assessment of Outcome :

• The response to the treatment was assessed at the end of the study and was based on the change in clinical presentation
• The response to treatment was also assessed by the haematological and immunological  investigations such as CD4/CD8 counts
• Most of these investigations were conducted at the Council’s HIV Research Lab.

कृषि क्षेत्र मे होम्योपैथिक दवाओं के सफ़ल प्रयोगों के परीक्षण एक कौतुहूल और जिज्ञासा का विषय है । कम से कम होम्योपैथी को संदेह की दृष्टि से देखने वालों के लिये तो विशेष रूप से ही हाँ , कृषि क्षेत्र से जुडे वैज्ञानिकों का मानना है कि जैसे होम्योपैथी दवावों के दुष्प्रभाव मनुष्यों पर नहीं पाये जाते वैसे ही यह औषधियाँ पेड और पौधों के लिये भी सुरक्षित हैं । कम लागत की यह होम्योपैथिक दवायें कम से कम अपने देश मे किसानों को काफ़ी राहत दे सकती हैं और साथ ही मे पेड पौधों पर निर्भर रहने वाले जीव -जन्तु को असमय विलुप्त होने से बचा भी सकती हैं ।  हजारों होम्योपैथिक दवाओं के सफ़ल परीक्षण हो चुके हैं और इनमें से कुछ के परिणाम उपलब्ध हैं । इनमे से ९०% रिसर्च अपने देश मे ही हुयी है  ; डां पंकज अवधिया जी द्वारा किये प्रयोग और पाकिस्तान में डां इफ़्ताकार वारिस द्वारा लिये गये सफ़ल परिणामों से क्या शेष विशव का होम्योपैथी से मुँह मोडना संभव   है ।  sceptics या होम्योपैथी के बारे मे अनर्गल  प्रचार-प्रसार करने वाले , सुबह शाम इस चिकित्सा पद्दति को गालियों से नवाजने वाले कितने समय तक तथ्यों से अपना मुँह मोड सकेगें ।

This study is designed to assess AIDS knowledge among Homeopathy educators and
physicians in India, which has not been evaluated previously. India now has the largest number of HIV infected persons worldwide, with an estimated cumulative 5.1 million infections. Homeopathy is the dominant system among the nationally-recognized alternative or complementary systems of medicine, which collectively
provide health care to around 600 million people in India. Homeopathy,with its holistic and patient-centered approach, has a wide reach to people at risk of contracting human immuno deficiency virus (HIV). Participants were 68 homeopathy physicians (34 educators and 34 practitioners) who completed a CDC questionnaire
measuring HIV/AIDS Knowledge regarding AIDS. This study reports the current level of knowledge of, and attitudes about, HIV/AIDS among homeopathy educators and practitioners. These findings will assist in the development of an education module to equip homeopathic health care personnel to impart accurate AIDS information
and prevention counseling to their patients in an efficient manner.
