One more piece of evidence to prove the active nature of high potency homeopathic medicines

The major criticism that homeopathy’s denialists constantly use is that homeopathic medicines cannot work because their potentised nature means that the high potencies bypass Avogadro’s number and there are therefore no ‘molecules of the source material left in the medicine’. This simplistic understanding of the nature of homeopathy’s medicines has been disseminated to great effect by the denialists to prevent homeopathic medicine’s progress as a valid therapy and to offer its low-cost effectiveness to patients.

It would seem however that the day of the denialists are numbered as a growing body of research from the field of biochemistry and biophysics shows that high potency medicines can be identified and measured. Furthermore, the research offers a means of enhancing and ensuring the quality of homeopathic medicines. Here is the abstract of the latest piece of research to be published in the journal of ‘Cell Biochemistry and Biophysics’.

Abstract

A quality control method of highly diluted and potentized homeopathic remedies is important for curing patients applying homeopathic therapy. Lenger detected photons in highly potentized homeopathic remedies by delayed luminescence. The photons of Argentum metallicum 100MK and Cantharis 100MK magnetically bound to their carrier substances ethanol or saccharose were separated by their resonating magnetic field of about 2.06 MHz. The photons of these 100MK potency levels and of their reference substances were determined to be standard values calculated by the B 2-values of Bajpai’s equation derived from the Hamiltonian equation. The stability of ethanolic Argentum metallicum 100MK and Cantharis 100MK declined to 1/3 of their photons within a month in contrast to saccharose globules with Argentum metallicum 100MK having been stable during the period of these investigations for almost 1 year. Some remedies delivered as CMK potency had been proved to be ethanol. The testing amount of high ethanolic potencies is limited to 40 μl because 80 μl resulted in an attenuation of the photons; 40 μl equal 16 medicated saccharose globules. Six unknown homeopathic remedies could be identified as increasing potency levels of Argentum metallicum from 100MK to 1.000MK which indicates a calibration curve. The homeopathic factories having sent the unknown remedies confirmed the measurements. A quality control of homeopathic remedies is possible by comparing the different B 2-values of the remedies and their carrier substances.
