In Allopathic system of medicine there are certain lacuna and adverse effects of allopathic medicine to correct the lacuna. Great master Dr. Hahnemann discovered the most effective scientific system of homoeopathy. Science never ends but always improves, and Homoeopathy is improvement of old defective allopathic medicine system. Who says it is the end of road for homoeopathy? Only quacks and unqualified medicos criticize the most scientific system of medicine called homoeopathy. In the olden days when allopathic dispensers dispensed medicine materials through spoons and glasses at that time Dr. Hahnemann discovered that every substance contains medicinal power. This Hahenamannian principle cures the patients since last 200 years. Homoeopathy is not a system medicine for super specialist allopathic doctors but homoeopathy is the medicine those who work in space .
Homoeopathy is second level popular system of medicine which is proved effective in the common masses of 85 countries. In most of the developed countries Homoeopathic system of medicine is recognized as first choice in the insurances but when the insurance companies in the medieval Europe had to paid maximum compensation of medical claim to the beneficiaries to save the insurance money business minded insurance companies had given a job to so called scientist to review the natural cardinal principle of Homoeopathy. Through false trial methods against the principle of homoeopathy. Scientists have taken some clinical trial under the leadership of Matthias Egger who is known false paper-making scientist. All these clinical trials where carried out as per the methodology laid down in the allopathic books and not as per the homoeopathic principles. As per the Homoeopathic System of Medicine verification methodology is proving of the drugs in the healthy human beings and not in a diseased person whereas Matthias Egger has undertaken the clinical trials of Homoeopathic Drugs on diseased persons. If a person who even don't know the basic principles of Homoeopathy how he can try one drug in specific conditions viz. Asthma, Allergy and Muscular problems. Homoeopathic drugs treat the patients and not the disease. Definition of the cure given by the Dr. Hahnemann in the second Aphorism "The highest ideal of cure is rapid, gentle and permanent restoration of health and annihilation of disease in the shortest and harmless way on easily comprehensible principles" is the soul of all systems of medicine and not only Homoeopathy. Homoeopathic medicine cure the patients on permanent basis and trials or clinical trial drugs never proves the internal curative power of medicine as defined by Dr. Hahnemann in the potentization theory .Clinical trials arranged by Matthias Egger of one drug in 110 diseased persons is not enough to setup the efficacy of the drugs as a drug proved in the Homoeopathic Materia Medica. Drug included only after thorough scientific way of drug proving in all conditions. In all age-groups and both the sexes and in all geographical conditions same type of symptomatology proves only after that drug is included in Homoeopathic Materia Medica. Many a times for such a type of proving experimental number may be up to thousand. How Matthias Egger and his 5 colleagues say that Homoeopathic medicines proves only as placebo. Here we quote one very simple example.
The antibiotic which does not give any result in specific condition is replaced by another antibiotic but why the first prescribed antibiotic is not labelled as placebo as it has shown its efficacy. Few medical trials undertaken by Matthias Egger and his colleagues claimed that Homoeopathic medicine is nothing but placebo. If thousand allopathic drugs fail to correct certain disorders in certain patients does it mean that these drugs are placebo for above patients?
Following are the Homoeopathic Principles
- Law of Similia
- Law of Simplex
- Law of Minimum
- Theory of Vital Force
- Doctrine of Drug Proving
- Theory of Drugs Dynamization
- Theory of Chronic diseases
Matthias Egger conducted trial are not based on cardinal principles of Homoeopathy. Homoeopathic medicines are selected only on the basis ofIndividualization. The central tenet of homoeopathic prescribing is 'Individualization'. No two individuals are alike in health or in disease. One has to individualize case in order to know the man behind sickness.
The back ground on which the study was planned seeks to find out the specific effect of homoeopathic remedies. But in truth homoeopathy fraternity has never claimed any specific effect of any homoeopathic drugs. There is nothing new in this research report to hurt Homoeopathic concept. All homoeopaths already know that Homoeopathic medicine can't be used as specific medicine. Homoeopathic medicines are selected only on the basis ofIndividualization. The central tenet of homoeopathic prescribing is 'Individualization'. No two individuals are alike in health or in disease.
Chromosomes are the factor through which all living things are individualized because it carries its own function, nature and has its own identity. Individualization is a unique feature of Homoeopathy and it is the integral part of Homoeopathic treatment. Homoeopathic medicines are selected only on the basis of totality of symptoms.
The successful application of the Law of Similar depends entirely on the concept of Individualization and Susceptible Constitutions, which forms the cornerstone of Homoeopathic practice. The concept of Individualization takes into consideration the total response of the organism to the unfavourable environment. This total response is seen through signs and symptoms on three planes: emotional, intellectual and physical where the life force manifests itself. While assessing this total response the Homoeopathic physician gives fundamental importance to the causative factors and to the peculiar characteristics of the ailment, the concept of susceptible constitution, the hereditary influences and predispositions play an important role in the genesis of illness.
Homoeopathic therapeutics, therefore, offers unlimited possibilities of influencing favourably the mental processes and of mitigating the adverse influences of the hereditary predispositions to illness, thereby leading to a better adaptation of the patient to this environment.
Homoeopathy recognizes a man as the multidimensional, composite entity where mind, body and spirit are viewed upon through individuality. Homoeopathy, therefore, is a system of scientific, constitutional drug therapeutics with wide potentialities, giving full scope to the prescriber's artistic abilities.
According to Dr. Mrs. A.S. Paranjpe, Scientist G, Solid State Physics Division, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Trombay, Mumbai. (As published in monthly medical news letter VITAL INFORMER) " In order for homoeopathy to be accepted as a scientific system of medicines, it is essential to establish that there is difference between solvent and homoeo potency prepared using these as a vehicle. Ideally it should be proved using physical techniques. However, since the physical techniques can only detect when there is presence of material molecules in a system, it is not possible to establish the difference between homoeo potency (n>12) and the vehicle used to prepare it (alcohol or water) since beyond 12th centesimal potency; there can be no medicinal molecule in what is called a medicine. Fortuitously, it is known from clinical experiences that homoeo potencies act in biological system such as human beings. This suggests that biological systems are selective in absorbing and amplifying the signals embedded in the potentised solvent. Hence these can be used to prove the action of homoeo potencies quantitatively. With this aim in mind, two experiments were designed.
(A) The first experiment was designed to give evidence that there is a difference between solvent and potency of a material prepared with it, and demonstrates this to be true. Here, potentised sodium pentobarbitone was used to remove the anesthetic effect of the same chemical. Heart rates of twenty Swiss Albibino mice under the anesthetic effect of sodium pentobarbitone were monitored as a function of time. It was observed that animals treated with 15th potency of sodium pentobarbitone prepared in water-regained consciousness faster than those treated with distilled water. Thus, this experiment demonstrated the action of potentised solvent beyond the limit of existence of material in it. The aim of such an experiment is to design a laboratory experiment to demonstrate the activity of potentised drug.
(B) In the second experiment enzyme activity in microbe Actinomyses sp is tested in the presence of different potencies of Lycopodium. A significant increase in the enzyme activity is found for all potencies of Lycopodium that are used. This suggests that homoeo potencies trigger the genes, which are responsible for the enzyme activity in the microbes selected for the studies. The objective of these experiments was not to see if, in-vitro the medicine acts on the bacteria or not. The bacteria are used as an individual biological system, a lower form of life, instead of an animal or a human being. Both these experiments are pilot experiments paving a way to further studies in this direction.
An experiment was designed to study the flow of blood to the extremities before and after administrating homoeopathic medicine as measured using a non-invasive technique PLETHYSMOGRAPGY (1), to demonstrate using quantitative diagnostic tools that homoeo medicine act and (2) to indicate how the medicines are selective to the location of the problem. Study was carried out on fifteen normal subjects and eight patients with symptoms suggestive of cardiovascular disorders. Five of the normal subject having asymmetrical blood flow in the extremities demonstrated haemodynamic redistribution after the administration of Sulphur upto 10,000th potency. Similarly, all the patients' recorded significant haemodynamic changes one hour after the administration of their constitutional remedies. Thus, it was possible to document the changes in existence, by impedance Plethysmogarphy. It is observed that the blood flow is increased only to the affected part of the body. This is a merit of homoeo medicines, which must be brought to the notice of the world scientific community.
Finally, a few examples of effect of homoeo potencies on heart rate variability are demonstrated using indigenous instrument ANU PHOTO RHEOGRAPH. It is observed that there is a spectacular change in the signals from Autonomous Nervous System after taking a homoeopathic medicine, indicating their action on Autonomous Nervous System."
According to Lancet, October 8,1986 The World Health Organization (WHO) also observed "Homoeopathy is one of the most widespread system of medicine, alternative to Allopathy, not only in North America, Western Europe and India Subcontinent. It cannot be denied that their (that is homoeopaths) treatment has been reported to be of benefit in many cases in which conventional medicine has brought little or no relief.
Dr. A.C.Dutta, General Secretary, Association for Advancement of Homoeopathic Science, Kolkata, in his comprehensive study on recent research findings on micro-science and quantum mechanics interpreted that homoeopathic potentized medicine due to their ultra micro forms of light isotopes are capable of penetrating into the chromosome level and exert their curative influences on the defective genes and cure the disease conditions without themselves being directly perceivable. "By means of such trituration and succussion, the internal medicinal power is wonderfully developed and is as it were liberated from its material bonds, so as to enable it to operate more penetratingly and more freely upon the human organism.
Harris L.Coulter Ph. D. in his book "Homoeopathic Science and Modern Medicine (IBPS, New Delhi -1986), Chapter 11, page 86, mentions the following, "Homoeopathy doesn't make use of the disease entities of Allopathy but defines the illness of the given patients in terms of the symptoms from provings. For this reason it is extremely difficult, perhaps impossible, to develop homoeopathic series, which would be, comparable with the series accepted in Allopathy.
The serum flocculation test was developed by George Russell Henshaw MD, as a technique for selecting similar remedy. This test designed to facilitate the physician's selection of the "One most similar medicine".
According to the CMDT 2004, Chapter 44 page 1702, (Linde K et all: Are The Clinical Effects Of Homoeopathy Placebo Effects? A Meta Analysis Of Placebo Controlled Trials, Lancet 1997; 350-834) "A 1997 Systemic review identified 89 double blind or randomized placebo controlled trials and found the overall combined odds ratio was 2.45 (95% CI, 2.0-2.9) favouring patients in the Homoeopathy treated group. Analysis restricted to High Quality Studies found similar statistically significant results with an odd ratio of 1.66 (95% CI, 1.3-2.1); this effect persisted after adjustment for publication bias. Pulled analysis of 4 Multi Centered trials by the same investigator evaluating the effects of Galphimia glauca for seasonal allergies found an odd ratio of 2.0 (90% CI, 1.5-2.7) for improvement in ocular and nasal symptoms at four weeks."
HOW DOES HOMOEOPATHY WORKS
The question of how homeopathy works is one I get asked often, and it is usually difficult to give a clear explanation. The direct answer is…we don't know. Some medics say that this is not good enough, but my response to them is "do you know the mechanisms of all the drugs that you prescribe"? The simple answer here is also "no, we don't know," but this does not prevent them from prescribing, as they KNOW from clinical experience that they work in certain conditions.
There are several theories of how homeopathic remedies work. Let's look at some of the most plausible and interesting of these to make some sense of how these incredibly small-dose remedies actually work.
MEDICAL SPECTROSCOPY AND THE WATER SYSTEM
It is well-known amongst energy therapists that the human body emits vibratory information that precisely specifies the activities taking place within. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a spectroscopic method that is widely and successfully used for medical diagnosis. MRI works because tumours contain abnormal arrangements of water (Damadian 1971, Damadian et al 1974). Most physiologists attach no significance to this important fact, as they do not recognize that the body has a 'water system' involved in communication and regulation. As with the electrocardiogram, medical science accepts the information provided by MRI images as a sort of by-product of life, without appreciating the profoundly important energy picture that underlies the method. In contrast, homeopathy and other vibrational medicines take advantage of the water system and its great sensitivity to electromagnetic fields.
Living tissues contain thousands of different kinds of molecules, each of which is surrounded by water (Watterson 1988). Until recently, the medical use of direct body spectroscopy has been hampered by the fact that cell and tissue water absorbs the radiations one would like to study. The scientific question is what the water molecules `do' with the absorbed information. Do they convert it to random processes (heat)? Or do the water molecules do something more sophisticated? Can water molecules store molecular signatures? Can such information be conducted through the water system? Perhaps the troubling `artifact' of water absorption actually explains how homeopathic dilutions and the body's water system absorb information from a substance.
In homeopathy, molecular signatures are transferred from a biologically active molecule to the water in which it is dissolved. This happens when the homeopathic physician `succusses' the sample. Succussion is a method of vibrating or sending a shock wave through a solution. Dissolved molecules are made to vibrate intensely and coherently, and they therefore emit their electromagnetic signatures (emission spectrum).
THE MEMORY OF WATER
One plausible mechanism for water memory storage, published by Smith (1985), is that hydrogen bonds hold water molecules together in a helical structure that acts like a coil. The magnetic components of fields emitted by the vibrating molecules induce current flows through the water helix. These currents reverberate within the water structure, much like the ringing of a tuning fork.
Even when the sample has been diluted to the point that the original molecule is gone, the signals stored in the water continue to vibrate for a long time. Upon further dilution and succussion, the reverberating signals transfer to other water molecules used to dilute the sample.
INSIGNIFICANT CONCENTRATIONS!
Many of the concentrations used in homeopathic drugs may at first glance seem to be so dilute as to have no possible physiological effect. But it is important to put these concentrations in perspective by comparing them with the normal concentrations at work in our bodies. Our body typically deals with ion concen correspond to extremely low concentrations, utilize mechanisms for their actions that are not understood. While controversy surrounds the effectiveness of high dilutions, there is research which reports that these very highly diluted solutions do have physiological effects on a variety of natural systems.
HOMEOPATHIC RESEARCH
In a series of experiments continued over 35 years, Kolisko reported that wheat seed growth was promoted by low dilutions of various metallic salts, inhibited by somewhat higher dilutions, and stimulated again at dilutions higher than Avogadro's number. Another experiment tested the effect on guinea pigs of daily doses of sodium chloride prepared in 30X, 200X, 400X, 600X, 800X, 1000X, 1200X and 1400X dilutions (all well past Avogadro's number). The trial, lasting six months, was repeated two years in succession. Controls received distilled water. Test animals lost weight and appetite, had dull shaggy coats and dull watery eyes, were less active than controls, gave birth to young weighing less than the controls and had a higher mortality and lower reproduction rates than the controls.
Other experiments, using techniques from physics, have also reported that homeopathically dilute substances display measurable differences that may seem paradoxical due to the small concentrations present. Nuclear magnetic resonance experiments conducted in 1963 measured three solutions: a) 87% ethanol in water, b) sulphur 12X (prepared with succussion at each step, and c) an equivalent dilution of sulphur 12X prepared without succussion. The authors were able to distinguish the properly prepared sulphur 12X from the others, and concluded "some form of energy is imparted by succussion to a homeopathic drug, resulting in a slight change of the alcohol in these dilutions. There is a structural change in the solvent as the potency is made from the tincture to a higher dilution."
Miasmetic concept and mordern genetics
After invention of revers transcriptage it is known that DNA to protein reaction chain can be totally reversable. Authors om modern genetics advocates that behind almost all the diseases there is some relation with the minute or gross defomation of the dna. So far 1600 diseases have already been identified with relation to these genetic deformity. DNA has basically two property. Structural and regulatory. If there is over fuction of structural property it is what we call sycotic miasm. if there is degenarative fuction of structural property it is what we call syphilitic miasm. there is mal fuction of regulatoryl property it is what we call psoric miasm. Now any endotoxin or exotoxin which are protein in nature can deform the DNA through Revers transcriptage and cause a change in diathesis ( which is regulated by these two property of DNA). Homoeopathic dilution conteining light isotopes(conteining only positron and electron in the same pattern with that of the mother molecule) are capable of rearrenging these DNAs througe ionic or neuro-hormonal system. During rearrenging DNA Goes through the revers stages defomity. That's why symtoms comes in the revers order of there occurenc according to Hering's law of cure.
HOMEOPATHY AT WORK IN AN INDIVIDUAL
From an energetic standpoint, one might consider that an individual such as John, afflicted with his "flu," with all accompanying symptoms, would be resonating at a different frequency than the one to which he is normally attuned, let's say 300 Hz as a matter of example. Let us assume that the frequency John "vibrates at" when trying to throw off his cold is 475 Hz. If he were able to produce more energy at the 475 Hz level, he might be able to throw off his illness more quickly and return to good health.
Hahnemann, with his homeopathic reasoning, assumed that the remedies were producing an illness similar to the one that the body was trying to throw off. He tried to empirically match the symptoms produced by a remedy's proving with the illness he was attempting to treat. Is it possible that when a healthy individual is given a particular homeopathic remedy, the proving (or symptoms exhibited) is caused by an induction of the individual's energy field to resonate at the dominant frequency of the plant substance used to prepare the remedy? According to this rationale, each species of plant should have its own particular energy signature. This energetic signature may be complex, formed by a multiplexing of various frequencies. Different parts of the plant, such as the bark of a tree, may have different energetic signatures than its roots, leaves, or flowers. In giving homeopathic preparations of the plant, the physical drug properties of the herb are removed, leaving the subtle-energy qualities that are absorbed into the water to predominate.
HAHNEMANN'S OBJECTIVES
What Hahnemann may have actually been doing is empirically matching the frequency of the plant extract with the frequency of the illness. He did this by match tient with the complex of symptoms produced by a particular remedy was an ingenious method, albeit unknown to Hahnemann, of energetic frequency matching.
Using the Law of Similars, Hahnemann was able to give the patient a dose of the needed subtle energy in the exact frequency band needed. That is why in classical homeopathy one cannot mix different remedies to treat many different symptoms. The remedy that best expresses the patient's unique symptom complex will be curative. Comparison of the patient's symptom complex with a remedy's symptom complex allows the homeopathic physician to make an empirical frequency match that will neutralize the illness.
THE HEALING CRISIS
Homeopathy's energetic frequency boost is the probable reason behind the initial exacerbation of symptoms seen by physicians when the proper remedy is given (this so-called "healing crisis" usually occurs prior to complete resolution of the illness). Patients are given a frequency-specific dose of subtle energy that will help their bodies to resonate in the needed mode in order to return their systems to a state of health or wellness. The healing vibrational mode, enhanced by the remedy, causes the exaggerated symptoms of the illness which are experienced by the patient during the healing crisis. Homeopathy uses the diverse frequency spectrum of nature to discharge the toxicities of illness. This method allows order and equilibrium to be restored to the human energetic system. From the frequency specific viewpoint of homeopathy, it has been stated that "there exist the treatments for ALL of our ills within Nature."
