Objectives:This study aimed at evolving a group of useful homoeopathic medicines in the treatment of hyperlipoproteinaemia, to identify their reliable indications, most useful potencies, frequency of administration and relationship with other medicines.
Methods: A prospective observational study was carried out during the period 1992-2003. Three hundred and twenty two patients with hyperlipoproteinaemia and various clinical presentations were studied. Patients of more than 30 years of age, with cholesterol > 200mg/dl, triglycerides > 170mg/dl, LDL > 150mg/dl, VLDL > 50mg/dl and HDL < 35 mg/dl were included in this study. Specificparameters were followed to assess the intensity of complaints and the improvement status.
Homoeopathic medicines were prescribed in different potencies (Q to 10M), basing on the presenting complaints, mental and physical attributes of the patients. The patients were advised to have low calorie diet and regular exercise.
Results: Two hundred ninety three (293) patients were followed up regularly and varying degrees of improvement were observed, viz. marked improvement in 77 patients, moderate improvement in 113 patients, mild improvement in 100 patients and no improvement in 03 patients. Abroma augusta 30, Gelsemium 30, Lycopodium 1M, Bryonia alba 30, Pulsatilla 30, Nux vomica 30 were found to be useful among the other prescribed medicines.
Conclusion: Results obtained from the study are encouraging with findings that 26% of the patients improved markedly with an evidence of changes in laboratory parameters. However, an experiment in controlled setting with improved protocol and clearer outcome parameters is required.
Key words: homoeopathy; observational study; hyperlipoproteinaemia; abroma augusta; gelsemium; lycopodium; bryonia alba; pulsatilla; nux vomica.

Abstract

A high degree of satisfaction is reported by patients of the homeopathic approach to health care . Hahnemanns postulations in Aphorism 2 of the Organon insist on a treatment that acts “in the shortest, most reliable and least detrimental of ways” (p.35). The routes by which remedies are administered can influence patient satisfaction with a regimen.

Central to this essay lies the question of the efficacy of the oral transmucosal remedy delivery over the oral swallow method.

यूटा मॆटिल की पोस्ट , ’ To swallow or not to swallow…that is the question!’ कई अर्थों मे महत्वपूर्ण है । अधिकतर होम्योपैथ दवाओं को oral route यानि मुँह द्वारा ही लेने की सलाह देते हैं जैसा कि यूटा के एक सर्वे से स्पष्ट है । स्वंय हैनिमैन ने भी आर्गेनान सेक्शन २७२ में इस तथ्य को रखा है :

In Aphorism 272 he describes to the homeopath that a “granule placed dry on the tongue, is one of the smallest administrations for the less severe, only recently developed cases of disease” [10] (p.158). He goes on to point out that as such, only few nerves are touched by the medication. Further he describes that if the granule is dissolved in water and is prior to repeated ingestion succussed; a much stronger medication is created of which even the tiniest dose comes into instant contact with many nerves [10]. Yet, this also does not deliver indications for a definite necessity of transmucosal absorption.

लेकिन इसके बावजूद हैनिमैन ने चिकित्सकों को अन्य routes को भी अपनाने की सलाह भी दी  है जिनमें olfaction method प्रमुख है । पिछ्ले वर्ष से अब तक स्वंय मैने भी इस तथ्य को क्लीनकल प्रैक्टिस मे अनुभव किया कि कई होम्योपैथिक दवायें olfaction method से बेहतर कार्य करती हैं जैसे कि acute respiratory infections विशेषकर acute asthma ( दमा ) मे Ipecac 0/3 से 0/10 . arsenic 0/5, और sambucus 0/3 मुँह द्वारा प्रयोग करने की अपेक्षा nebulizer route से अधिक प्रभावी साबित होती है । इसका कारण क्या हो सकता है , इसके बारे मे तो अगर और अधिक रिसर्च हों तो शायद कहना मुमकिन हो ।

Complete Freund’s Adjuvant (CFA) द्वारा गठिया से पीडित किये गये चूहों पर होम्योपैथिक औषधि रस टाक्स के परीक्षण ( Modulation of arthritis in rats by Toxicodendron pubescens and its homeopathic dilutions.)

Source : pubmed & Indian Journal of Research in Homeopathy

पशुऒं पर होम्योपैथिक दवाओं के परीक्षण अधिक देखे नही जाते हैं लेकिन इधर हाल के दिनों मे इन परीक्षणॊं की संख्या बढी है , हाँलाकि यह होम्योपैथिक सिद्दातों का पूर्ण रुप से पालन नही करते इसके बावजूद इनकी महत्ता से इन्कार नही किया जा सकता है । होम्योपैथिक पद्दति मे निशिचित सिद्दांत हैं और उनके लिये लक्षणॊं का लेना और उनके ऊपर प्रेसक्राब करना एक अनिवार्य शर्त है ।

हाँलाकि हाल ही मे The Faculty of Homeopathy २०११जर्नल मे प्रकाशित एक लेख जो पबमेड पर प्रकाशित हुआ कम चर्चा का विषय रहा । पटेल इन्सटिटुयूट आफ़ फ़ारमासियुटिकल रिसर्च के सी.आर. पाटिल , आर.बी.जाधव आदि का लेख रस टाक्स की anti inflammatory property पर था ।

सर्वप्रथम Complete Freund’s Adjuvant (CFA) द्वारा चूहों को गठिया से पीडित किया गया और उसके बाद सिलसिलेवार शुरु हुये  प्रयोगशाला परीक्षण । रस टाक्स के 3cH, 6cH, 30cH, 200cH पोटेन्सी को सफ़लतापूर्वक प्रयोग  कर के उनके परिणामों को होम्योपैथिक मैटैरिया मेडिका आदि मे वर्णित लेखों  के आधार को  सही पाया गया । यह रिसर्च अभी जारी है ।

Abstract

BACKGROUND:

Toxicodendron pubescens P. Mill (Anacardiaceae) known in homeopathy as Rhus toxicodendron (Rhus tox) is used as an anti-inflammatory medicine in homeopathic practice. In this study, Rhus tox in its crude form and homeopathic dilutions (3cH, 6cH, 30cH, 200cH) was evaluated for effects on Complete Freund’s Adjuvant (CFA) induced arthritis in rats.

METHOD:

We assessed the severity of arthritis through observations including inflammatory lesions, body and organ weight and hematological parameters including C-reactive protein (CRP). Blinded radiological analysis of the affected joints and pain intensity determination was also carried out.

RESULTS:

Rhus tox protected rats from CFA-induced inflammatory lesions, body weight changes and hematological alterations. Rhus tox protected against radiological joint alterations due to arthritis. Arthritic pain scores were also favorably affected by Rhus tox. All the dilutions of Rhus tox including crude form showed anti-arthritic activity. The maximum protective effect was evident in the crude form at 10mg/kg/day, by mouth.

CONCLUSION:

This study supports claims in the homeopathic literature on the role of Rhus tox and its ultra dilutions in the treatment of arthritis and associated pain. Further study is needed to explain this anti-arthritic effect of Rhus tox.

Raman Laser Spectroscopy
In 1976, Boiron and Vinh used Raman Laser Spectroscopy, showing that for the 1C potency of Kali bichromicum the spectrum of alcohol disap-pears completely, while that for potassium bichromate appears. In Kali bich 1C the ratio of the number of potassium bichromate molecules is 1 to 500. In such a case the light meets 500 more alcohol molecules as those of bichromate, yet the alcohol spectrum does not appear.

Conclusion
Research claims to have confirmed the efficacy of homeopathic medicine. Additional support comes from the fact that animals, plants and infants also benefit form homeopathic treatment and it is unlikely that they will react psychologically to a medicine they often do not know they are being given

लेकिन मूल प्रशन कि होम्योपैथी के विरोध का  कारण क्या है ?

• होम्योपैथिक औषधियों की न्यून मात्रा
• होम्योपैथिक औषधियों की न्यून मात्रा और आवोग्राद्रो ( Avogadro’s  ) की परिकल्पना

होम्योपैथिक औषधियों की न्यून मात्रा

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 ।

होम्योपैथिक औषधियों की न्यून मात्रा 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 है  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 हट कर हैं ।

IIT-B team shows how homeopathy works

Source : The Times of India 16 dec 2010
Mumbai: Six months after the British Medical Association wrote off homoeopathy as “witchcraft’’ that had no scientific basis, we may now have an irrefutable answer to what makes this ancient form of medicine click. Scientists from the Indian Institute of Technology-Bombay (IIT-B) have established that the sweet white pills work on the principle of nanotechnology.
    Homeopathic pills—made of naturally occurring metals such as gold and copper-—retain their potency even when diluted to a nanometre or one-billionth of a metre, states the IIT-B research published in the latest issue of Homoeopathy, a peer-reviewed journal published by the reputed Elsevier. IIT-B’s chemical engineering department bought commonly available homoeopathic pills from neigbourhood shops, prepared highly diluted solutions and checked under powerful electron microscopes to find nanoparticles of the original metal.
    “Our paper showed that certain highly diluted homoeopathic remedies made from metals still contain measurable amounts of the starting material, even at extreme dilutions of 1 part in 10 raised to 400 (200C),’’ said Dr Jayesh Bellare. His student, Prashant Chikramane, presented the paper ‘Extreme homoeopathic dilutions retain starting materials: A nanoparticulate perspective’, as part of his doctoral thesis. IIT theory proves what some homoeopaths have always known
    Homoeopathy was established in the late 18th century by German physician Samuel Hahnemann. While it is widely popular in certain countries, especially India, the British Medical Association and the British parliament have in recent times questioned homoeopathy’s potency. Around four years ago, British research papers rubbished homoeopathy as a mere “placebo’’.
    “Homoeopathy has been a conundrum for modern medicine. Its practitioners maintained that homeopathic pills got more potent on dilution, but they could never explain the mechanism scientifically enough for the modern scientists,’’ said Bellare. For instance, if an ink-filler loaded with red ink is introduced into the Powai lake, Bellare said, there would be no chance of ever tracing it. “But the fact is that homoeopathic pills have worked in extreme dilutions and its practitioners have been able to cure tough medical conditions,” he added.
    “We had analyzed ayurvedic bhasmas a few years ago and found nanoparticles to be the powering agent ,” the team members said. For the first time, scientists used equipment like transmission electron microscope, electron diffraction and emission spectroscopy to map physical entities in extremely dilution. They could measure nanoparticles of gold and copper (the original metal used in the medicines).
    American homoeopaths—Dr Joh Ives from Samueli Institute in Virginia and Joyce C Fryce from the Centre of Integrative Medicine, University of Maryland—said, “We are all familiar with the simple calculations showing that a series of 1:99 dilutions done sequentially will produce a significant dilution of the starting material in very short order,” they wrote in a special editorial in the journal. But as dilution increases, this theory goes awry. “(But) Chikramane et al found that, contrary to our arithmetic, there are nanogram quantities of the starting material still present in these ‘high potency’ remedies.’’
    The hypothesis is that nanobubbles form on the surface of the highly diluted mixtures and float to the surface, retaining the original potency. “We believe we have cracked the homoeopathy conundrum,’’ said Bellare. According to homoeopath Dr Farokh J Master, the IIT theory has proven something what practitioners have always known. “My instruction to my patients has always been to dilute the pills in water and stir it 10 times with a spoon. Then remove the spoon , dip it in another cup of water and stir 10 times. I advise my patients to do this in five cups before discarding the first four cups and then drinking the fifth cup in two equal doses,’’ said Master.
MEDICAL FACTS
FOR…
Homeopathy works on the principles of nano-particles, say IIT-B’s department of chemical engineering team
    Using state-of-the art techniques, they could find particles of the original element as small as one-billionth of a metre
    The hypothesis is that a nanoparticle-nanobubble rises to the surface of the diluted solution; it is this 1% of the top layer that is collected and further diluted. So, the concentration remains
AGAINST…
Homeopathy is merely a placebo, said a meta-analyses published in the Lancet in 2005.
    The British Medical Association said that homeopathy had no scientific basis; dub it witchcraft
    Many National Health Services in the UK excluded homeopathy from their purview

मेरी डायरी – लखनऊ मे कहर बरपाता डॆंगूं

कम से कम मैने  अपनी २४ साल  की प्रैकिटिस मे किसी भी रोग का इतना विकराल रुप न देखा । कारण जो भी हों इस माहमारी फ़ैलने के लेकिन सच यह है कि होम्योपैथी को छॊडकर अन्य पद्दतियों का रोल केस के मैनेजमैटं को छोडकर लगभग नगणय सा रहा । अगर मै सितम्बर के आरम्भ मे बात करुं तो मुझे निराशा ही हाथ लगी क्योंकि रोगी होम्योपैथी मे रुकने को तैयार नही था । लेकिन मुझे पिछ्ले अनुभव से ज्ञात था कि यह अविशवास अधिक दिन नही रहने वाला है । और वही हुआ .. सितम्बर के दूसरे सप्ताह से अब तक का पूरा श्रॆय होम्योपैथिक औषधि यूपोटिरियम पर्फ़ोलेटम और अन्य चयनित औषधियों को रहा । और होगा भी क्यूं नही .. like cures like का इतना बढिया उदाहरण भला कहाँ मिलेगा । पिछ्ले सप्ताह जब डां राजीव सिह ने होम्योपैथिक औषधियों से अल्प समय ठीक हो रहे रोगियों का क्लीनिकल रिकार्ड , उनके पैथोलोजिकल जाँचे आदि सुरक्षित रखने को कहा तो मुझे भी यह बात काफ़ी हद तक पंसद आयी । और यही बात  अन्य होम्योपैथिक चिकित्सको से भी कहूगां कि ऐसे रिकार्ड को संभाल के रखॆं , कई स्त्रोतों पर यह काम आयेगें ।

लेकिन बात यूपोटोरियम पर्फ़ की

यूपोटोरियम पर्फ़ (Eupatorium Perfoliatum -Boneset)

कम्पोजीट परिवार का यह एक पौधा मूलत: अमेरिका और कनाडा मे पाया जाता है । बोन सॆट इसका आम नाम है । मूल अर्क बनाने के लिये पौधे की ताजी पत्तियों और फ़ूल प्रयोग मे लाये जाते है ।

होम्योपैथी मे लाने का श्रेय डां विलयम्सन को जाता है जिन्होने इसकी प्रूविगं सन १८४५ मे अपने मित्र चिकित्सकों और स्वयं पर की । और आशचर्यजनक बात यह रही कि इसके लक्षण आज की नामावली  डॆगूं/इनफ़्लून्जा आदि कई रोगॊ  के लक्षणॊं से मिलते हुये हैं  । मैलेरिया , इनफ़्लून्जा या अन्य किसी अन्य प्रकार के ज्वर या रोग मे –शरीर मे हड्डी तोड दर्द ( break-bone fever) , सिर दर्द , कमर मे ऐठंन , पित्त का वमन इत्यादि इस रोग के प्रधान लक्षण हैं

अगर आप केन्ट की होम्योपैथी मैटेरिया मेडिका मे यूपोटोरियम पर्फ़ की प्रस्तावना लेख को देखें तो पायेगें कि यह औषधि एक आम भारतीय औषधि जैसे तुलसी और अदरक जैसे गुणॊं से भरपूर कनाडा और अमेरिका मे कृषकों द्वारा प्रयोग  की जाती थी । केन्ट लिखते हैं :

Every time I take up one of these old domestic remedies I am astonished at the extended discoveries of medical properties in the household as seen in their domestic use.

All through the Eastern States, in the rural districts, among the first old -settlers, Boneset-tea was a medicine for colds. For every cold in the head, or running of the nose, every bone-ache or high fever, or headache from cold, the good old housewife had her Boneset-tea ready. Sure enough it did such things, and the provings sustain its use. The proving shows that Boneset produces upon healthy people symptoms like the colds the old farmers used to suffer from.

जितनी बार मै इन घरेलू दवाओं मे से किसी एक को लेता हूँ , उतनी ही बार घर मे ये चिकित्सा के समान ,व्यवाहार होते हुये देखकर मै आशचर्य मे पड जाता हूँ । सभी पूर्वी जमीन्दारियों मे , देहाती जिलों मे तथा पुराने आदिवासियों मे बोनसेट सर्दी की खास दवा थी । माथे को या नाक बहने वाली सर्दी के साथ प्रत्येक हड्डी मे दर्द या तेज बुखार के लिये बुद्दिमान गृहणियाँ बोनसेट की चाय को तौयार रखती थी । इसमे सन्देह नहीं कि इसने ऐसे काम किये हैं और परीक्षण ( प्रूविगं ) मे इसका व्यवहार प्रमाणित होता है । परीक्षा मे यह प्रकट होता है कि स्वस्थ मनुष्यों मे बोन सेट उस तरह के सर्दी के लक्षण लाता है जो पुराने कृषकों मे हो जाया करती थी ।

 

• लेकिन मुख्य प्रशन कि क्या यूपोटोरिम को डेगूं की एकमात्र विशवसनीय औषधि मानें ?

उत्तर : नही , होम्योपैथिक पद्दति इसकी इजाजत नही देती । हर रोगी अपने मूल स्वभाव के कारण दूसरे रोगी से अलग होता है । यही होम्योपैथी की कहें तो विशेषता भी है और परेशानी भी । एक रोगी ठंड लगने के समय ओढना पसंद करता है और दूसरा नही करता । एक को प्यास अधिक लगती है और दूसरे को नही । रोगी अलग-२ है , उसके लक्षण अलग है जाहिर है दवा भी अलग होगी।

• तो फ़िर एक नया चिकित्सक क्या करे , कैसे इस विशाल मैटेरिया मेडिका मे से सेलेक्शन करे ?

उत्तर : जहाँ तक संभव हो रोगी की गतिविधि, ठंडक और गर्मी से सहिषुण्ता/असहिषुणता ( थर्मल ), प्यास और शारीरिक या मानसिक लक्षण में  बदलाव पर गौर करें । इस संदर्भ मे डां प्रफ़ुल्ल विजयरकर का  एक्यूट फ़्लो चार्ट नये रोगों मे दवा के सेलेक्शन के लिये काफ़ी उपयोगी है । प्रफ़ुल्ल के इस फ़्लो चार्ट पर चर्चा हम अगले भाग मे करेगें । लेकिन यह तय है कि थेरेपेटिक्स आधारित प्रेसक्राबिगं की अपेक्षा प्रफ़ुल्ल का गतिविधि,  थर्मल , प्यास और शारीरिक या मानसिक लक्षण में  बदलाव पर वर्गीकरण अधिक कारगर है । अगले अंक मे जारी …..

होम्योपैथी औषधि ’ बेलोडोना ’ का दिमागी ज्वर मे सफ़ल रोल – एक शोध पत्र (New Study Proves Homeopathy Prevents Japanese Encephalitis)

 

 

हाल ही  में स्कूल आफ ट्रापिकल मेडिसिन, कोलकाता के माइक्रोबायलोजी विभाग और केंद्र सरकार के संयुक्त तत्वावधान में प्रयोगशाला परीक्षण हुआ। इसमें चूहों के शरीर में पहले इंसेफ्लाइटिस के वायरस को प्रवेश कराया गया। इसके बाद इन पर बेलाडोना के असर का अध्ययन हुआ। नतीजे बेहतर आये और अमेरिकन जरनल आफ इंफेक्शियस डिजीज ने इस माह अपने ताजा अंक में प्रयोगशाला परीक्षण ने नतीजों को प्रकाशित किया है। देखे यहाँ

CCRH ( सेन्ट्रल काउन्सिल आफ़ होम्योपैथी ) द्वारा प्रयोजित विभिन्न सेन्ट्रर पर चल रहे क्लीनिकल और प्रयोगशाला परीक्षण में जे ई ( दिमागी बुखार ) पर होम्योपैथिक दवाएं काफी प्रभावी साबित हुई हैं। नतीजों से उत्साहित होम्योपैथिक विभाग ने जेई और स्वाइन फ्लू से लोगों को प्रतिरक्षित करने की एक विस्तृत योजना शासन को सौंपी है। असिस्टेंट निदेशक डा. जेपी सिंह के अनुसार  बीते आठ वर्षो से गोरखपुर, महाराजगंज और देवरिया में जेई समेत अन्य सभी प्रकार के दिमागी बुखार के रोगियों को विशेषज्ञ डाक्टरों व कर्मचारियों द्वारा होम्योपैथिक दवा बेलाडोना दी गयी। मरीजों पर लगातार नजर रखी गयी। इसके नतीजे उत्साहवर्धक हैं। दवा के सेवन से न केवल ऐसे रोगी जल्दी ठीक हुए बल्कि अन्य में दिमागी बुखार के प्रति अप्रत्याशित ढंग से प्रतिरोधक क्षमता विकसित हुई है। क्लीनिकल ट्रायल के इन परिणामों पर सेंट्रल काउंसिल फाररिसर्च इन होम्योपैथी (सीसीआरएच) ने भी अपनी मुहर लगा दी है।

 

New Study Proves Homeopathy Prevents Japanese Encephalitis

Decreased Intensity of Japanese Encephalitis Virus Infection in Chick Chorioallantoic Membrane Under Influence of Ultradiluted Belladonna Extract. American Journal of Infectious Diseases 6 (2): 24-28, 2010.

The homeopathic remedy Belladonna is effective in preventing Japanese Encephalitis (JE), says a  recent study conducted by the Department of Microbiology at the School of Tropical Medicine in Kolkata, the Department of Clinical and Experimental Pharmacology at the School of Tropical Medicine in Kolkata, the University of Health Sciences in Kolkata, the Department of Pathology and Microbiology in West Bengal, in collaboration with the the Drug Proving Research Centre of the Central Council for Research in Homeopathy (CCRH), and the Government of India in Kolkata, and the Department of AYUSH Ministry of Health in New Delhi.

Abstract: Problem statement: No specific antiviral therapy is currently available despite an emergence and resurgence of Japanese encephalitis in South-East Asian Countries.

There are only few recent studies, which were aimed to treat Japanese encephalitis with newer drugs. There is thus a real need for study on antiviral agents that can reduce the toll of death and neurological sequelae resulting from infection with this virus.

Approach: Optimum dilution of the JE virus was determined which could produce significant number of pocks on Chorioallantoic Membrane (CAM). Then ultradiluted Belladonna preparations were used to see their inhibitory action on JE virus infection in CAM.

Results: Ultradiluted Belladonna showed significantly decreased pock count in CAM in comparison to JE virus control.

Conclusion: Ultradiluted Belladonna could inhibit JE virus infection in CAM, which may be mediated through glycosidase inhibitory role of calystegines present in Belladonna.

Homeopathy was born as an experimental discipline, as can be seen from the enormous amount of
homeopathic data collected over more than two centuries. However, the medical tradition of homeo-
pathy has been separated from that of conventional science for a long time. Conventional scientific wis-
dom dictates that homeopathy should have no effect above placebo but experiments on ultra-high
dilutions of solutes together with some clinical data suggest the intriguing possibility that it might do
in some circumstances. Today, an osmotic process between disciplines, previously seen as in conflict,
is facilitated because over the last few decades homeopathy has initiated the methods of current medical
science and a substantial number of experimental studies—at molecular, cellular and clinical levels—are
available. One area of dialogue and of common progress is that of inflammation and immunity, probably
because these are closely related to the traditional ‘vital force’ of the body’s self-healing power. In a
series of papers we review the historical origins of homeopathy, the laboratory and animal models
related to the field of immunopharmacology, the clinical evidence in favor and against the use of homeo-
pathy in the inflammatory diseases and the hypotheses regarding its action mechanism(s). Finally, we
will enlighten the specific characteristics of the homeopathic approach, which places great emphasis
on identifying a cure for the whole organism.

Here we describe the results of some experimental laboratory studies aimed at verifying the efficacy of
high dilutions of substances and of homeopathic medicines in models of inflammation and immunity.
Studies carried out on basophils, lymphocytes, granulocytes and fibroblasts are reviewed. This approach
may help to test under controlled conditions the main principles of homeopathy such as ‘similarity’ of
drug action at the cellular level and the effects of dilution/dynamization on the drug activity. The current
situation is that few and rather small groups are working on laboratory models for homeopathy. Regard-
ing the interpretation of data in view of the simile principle, we observe that there are different levels of
similarity and that the laboratory data give support to this principle, but have not yet yielded the ultimate
answer to the action mechanism of homeopathy. Evidence of the biological activity in vitro of highly
diluted-dynamized solutions is slowly accumulating, with some conflicting reports. It is our hope that
this review of literature unknown to most people will give an original and useful insight into the
‘state-of-the-art’ of homeopathy, without final conclusions ‘for’ or ‘against’ this modality. This kind
of uncertainty may be difficult to accept, but is conceivably the most open-minded position now.

A search of the literature and the experiments carried out by the authors of this review show that there are
a number of animal models where the effect of homeopathic dilutions or the principles of homeopathic
medicine have been tested. The results relate to the immunostimulation by ultralow doses of antigens,
the immunological models of the ‘simile’, the regulation of acute or chronic inflammatory processes
and the use of homeopathic medicines in farming. The models utilized by different research groups
are extremely etherogeneous and differ as the test medicines, the dilutions and the outcomes are
concerned. Some experimental lines, particularly those utilizing mice models of immunomodulation
and anti-inflammatory effects of homeopathic complex formulations, give support to a real effect of
homeopathic high dilutions in animals, but often these data are of preliminary nature and have not
been independently replicated. The evidence emerging from animal models is supporting the traditional
‘simile’ rule, according to which ultralow doses of compounds, that in high doses are pathogenic, may
have paradoxically a protective or curative effect. Despite a few encouraging observational studies,
the effectiveness of the homeopathic prevention or therapy of infections in veterinary medicine is not
sufficiently supported by randomized and controlled trials.

The evidence-based research of the effectiveness of homeopathic medicines in common immunologic
disorders is reviewed. In part 1, we introduce methodological issues of clinical research in homeopathy,
and criteria utilized to evaluate the literature. Then 24 studies (12 randomized and 12 non-randomized)
on common upper respiratory tract infections and otorhinolaryngologic complaints are described. In part
2, the focus will be on allergic diseases and the effectiveness of homeopathy will be globally evaluated
and discussed using the criteria of evidence-based medicine.

The clinical studies on the effectiveness of homeopathy in respiratory allergy (18 randomized trials
and 9 observational studies) are described. The literature of common immunologic disorders including
also upper respiratory tract infections (URTI) and otorhinolaryngology (reported in part 1), is evaluated
and discussed. Most of initial evidence-based research was addressed to the question of whether
homeopathic high dilutions are placebos or possess specific effects, but this question has been often
equivocal and is still a matter of debate. The evidence demonstrates that in some conditions homeopathy
shows significant promise, e.g. Galphimia glauca (low dilutions/potencies) in allergic oculorhinitis,
classical individualized homeopathy in otitis and possibly in asthma and allergic complaints, and a few
low-potency homeopathic complexes in sinusitis and rhinoconjunctivitis. A general weakness of
evidence derives from lack of independent confirmation of reported trials and from presence of
conflicting results, as in case of homeopathic immunotherapy and of classical homeopathy for URTI.
The suitable methods to evaluate homeopathy effectiveness, without altering the setting of cure, are also
analyzed.

The foundation of homeopathic medicine is the ‘Similia Principle’, also known as the ‘Principle
of Similarity’ or also as the ‘Simile’, which reflects the inversion of pharmacological effects in
healthy subjects as compared with sick ones. This article describes the inversion of effects, a
widespread medical phenomenon, through three possible mechanisms: non-linearity of dose–
response relationship, different initial pathophysiological states of the organism, and
pharmacodynamics of body response to the medicine. Based on the systemic networks which
play an important role in response to stress, a unitary and general model is designed:
homeopathic medicines could interact with sensitive (primed) regulation systems through
complex information, which simulate the disorders of natural disease. Reorganization of
regulation systems, through a coherent response to the medicine, could pave the way to the
healing of the cellular, tissue and neuro-immuno-endocrine homeodynamics. Preliminary
evidence is suggesting that even ultra-low doses and high-dilutions of drugs may incorporate
structural or frequency information and interact with chaotic dynamics and physical-
electromagnetic levels of regulation. From the clinical standpoint, the ‘simile’ can be regarded
as a heuristic principle, according to which the detailed knowledge of pathogenic effects of
drugs, associated with careful analysis of signs and symptoms of the ill subject, could assist
in identifying homeopathic remedies with high grade of specificity for the individual case.
