Homeopathy Emerging As Nanomedicine, Rajendra Upadhyay, Chaturbhuja Nayak
Homeopathy Emerging As Nanomedicine, Rajendra Upadhyay, Chaturbhuja Nayak
Indian Journal of Research in Homoeopathy
Background:Homeopathy is a time-tested two-century old empirical system of healing. Homeopathic medicines are prepared through a characteristic process known as potentization, where serial dilutions are performed with strong strokes at each step of dilution. Homeopathy is controversial because most medicines do not contain one single molecule of the corresponding starting-substance. Aim:To investigate a possible nanoscience mechanism of action of homeopathic medicines. Methodology: Ultra-pure samples were prepared and were examined under scanning (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) along with selected area nanodiffraction (SAD) and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX). Also trace element analysis (TEA) for silicon was performed. Results:Homeopathic medicines showed …

Flu Pandemics: Homeopathic Prophylaxis And Definition Of The Epidemic Genius, Renan Marino
Indian Journal of Research in Homoeopathy
Recent studies on viral genetics establish swine-H1N1 - responsible for the ongoing pandemics - as a remainder or continuation of the agent causing the flu epidemics of 1918. This study aimed at analyzing whether this common etiology also result in significant correlations of clinical manifestations. To do so, data were collected to compare the clinical evolution of cases in the 1918 and 2009 epidemics. This historical revision was the ground for evaluating the response to treatment including homeopathy in the former epidemics. It is discussed the convenience of including homeopathic prophylaxis grounded on the diagnosis of the epidemic genius among …

Indigofera Tinctoria: Preliminary Experimental Study Evaluating Its Analgesic And Behavioural Activities In Animals, E Sundaram, K Singh, K Reddy, Sunil Kumar, K.R.J. Nair, Anil Khurana, Hari Singh, C Nayak
Indian Journal of Research in Homoeopathy
Indigofera tinctoria Linn. (Family: Fabaceae) is traditionally used for the treatment of various ailments including nervous disorders. In homoeopathy too, I. tinctoria is used in the treatment of epilepsy and other nervous disorders, but no data has been scientifically documented to establish its central nervous system activities. In the present preliminary study, the different potencies (3x, 6x, 12x and 30c) of I. tinctoria administered at a dose of 0.5 ml/rat/day were evaluated for their analgesic (hot plate, ice plate and Randall -Selitto tests) and behavioural (rota rod and open field tests) activities. The results revealed that all the four potencies …

A Prospective Observational Study To Ascertain The Role Of Homeopathic Therapy In The Management Of Diabetic Foot Ulcer, C Nayak, Vikram Singh, Krishna Singh, Hari Singh, Jaya Gupta, Mohd Ali, Hima Ponnam
Indian Journal of Research in Homoeopathy
Background:The risk for lower extremity amputation (LEA) in patients with diabetic foot ulcer is high, and high recurrence rates of foot ulcers pose a risk that the amputations will be repeated. While the incidence rates of diabetic foot ulcers are often poorly documented, such as is the case in India, the heavy strain of the disease on health care budgets can easily be felt the world over. The high cost of the treatment of foot ulcers causes many patients to neglect needed care, resulting in amputations. The present observational study of diabetic foot ulcer was undertaken for the purpose of …

Indian Journal of Research in Homoeopathy
The rat pheochromocytoma (PC12) cell line is widely applied as a model system to study a variety of neuronal functions. Upon addition of nerve growth factor (NGF), these cells undergo differentiation characterized by an increase in acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity, and extension of neurite-like processes. Oxidative stress is implicated in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders and the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of Bellis perennis (Be) and Hypericum perforatum (Hy) (6C and 30C) on healthy neuronal cells. Both homeopathic medicines have been studied at three different concentrations of 2 μl/ml, 4 μl/ml and 8 μl/ml for 96 …

Putative Protective Effect Of Cadmium Chloride High Diluted Solution On Llc-Pk1 Cell Intoxicated By High Concentration Of This Same Metal: An Isopathic In Vitro Assay, Roberta Ghilosso-Bortolini, Leoni Bonamin, Carla Holandino
Indian Journal of Research in Homoeopathy
Cadmium is an important toxic environmental heavy metal. Several studies have demonstrated that a major site of cadmium toxicity in humans and in other animals is the proximal tubule of the kidney. A well established model for nephrotoxicity is the use of in vitro technique with proximal tubule epithelial cell lines, as LLC-PK1. Herein, we have the intention to study the possible protective effect of high diluted CdCl2 solutions. In a blinding way, LLC-PK1 cells were pre-treated with high diluted Cadmium chloride in the potencies 10cH, 15cH and 20cH. After 4 days, these cells have received CdCl2 in a pre-determined …
