Prominent U.S. scientists today strongly rejected findings on homeopathic medicine to be published in the August 27, 2005 edition of the Lancet. The study in question was the work of Aijing Shang and colleagues from the University of Berne in Switzerland. The U.S. scientists rejecting the conclusions of the study are Dr. Rustum Roy Ph.D. (Penn State University), Dr. Iris Bell, M.D., Ph.D. (University of Arizona) and Dr. Joyce Frye D.O., M.B.A. (University of Pennsylvania).
"Shang et al. have successfully applied a methodological approach to the articles they reviewed that is highly suitable for drawing conclusions about conventional medicine but is incomplete in evaluating homeopathic medicine. They did not include criteria that would apply to high quality homeopathic research reflecting the nature of homeopathic practice. Such criteria include consideration of the quality of the homeopathy provided", said Iris Bell, M.D., Ph.D.
"Furthermore, a single remedy selection for a given conventionally-diagnosed condition is not homeopathy, yet there are numerous conventionally-judged high quality studies that were so designed. The analogy would be to test the effects of penicillin for all patients with symptoms of an apparent infection. The quality of the studies would otherwise be excellent in design. However, penicillin will not work for patients with viral infections or bacterial infections resistant to its effects or for persons with fevers from other non-infectious causes - and it thus might show benefit only for a subset of patients with symptoms of infections, i.e., the ones with true penicillin-sensitive infections. How would penicillin fare in a meta-analysis of studies designed to ignore the intrinsic nature of penicillin in benefiting patients?" said Bell.
Joyce Frye DO, MBA commented that the study's authors seemed to begin their work with a bias. "While their analysis clearly showed effects of homeopathic treatment - they found ways to disregard those. Out of the millions of trials in conventionalmedicine, their primary outcome relied on the comparison of ridiculously small numbers--8 trials of homeopathy and 6 trials of conventional medicine. They began their work with the assumption 'that the effects observed in placebo-controlled trials of homoeopathy could be explained by a combination of methodological deficiencies and biased reporting'. Sound research is not conducted from this starting position."
Among other topics, the Lancet challenges the plausibility of homeopathic effects given that homeopathic remedies are often administered in dilutions in excess of Avogadro's number. Dr. Rustum Roy, Ph.D. distinguished material scientist from Penn State University commented that the chemistry argument made in this study and by conventional medicine in general is false science. "The underpinning of the editorial content of the Lancet as it relates to homeopathy relies on a quaint old idea from the nineteenth century that the ONLY way that the property of water can be affected or changed is by incorporating foreign molecules. This is the Avogadro-limit high-school level chemistry argument. To a materials scientist this notion is absurd, since the fundamental paradigm of materials-science is that the structure-property relationship is the basic determinant of everything. It is a fact that the structure of water and therefore the informational content of water can be altered in infinite ways."

HOMOEOPATHY - THE FUTURE OF MEDICINE !
Medical treatment with Homoeopathic therapeutics, at its very outset aims at management of disease beyond the actual expectation of the sick humanity! The complete nature of this therapeutic science gets important around the globe year by year for reasons more that one. Gifted by clairvoyance, extreme linguistic skills and extraordinary intelligence, Dr Samuel Hahnemann, a leading Surgeon and Physician of Germany suffered from contempt towards his own allopathic school of medical studies and sets out into hunting literatures for the right alternatives. While exercising his linguistic abilities during a translation of medical literature he finds clues about a virgin concept in medicine which had not seen light until then. His desire to develop on those despite immense opposition was the reason for the birth of 'Homoeopathy' 200 years back. Post modern by its concept and inception 400 years after the so-called modern medicine took shape, Homoeopathy continues it triumph into time setting free the bindings of side-effects of drugs and delivering cure of a complete nature, avoiding many a surgical intervention and with a softer impact on ones medical expenses !
Discussing about the major domains of Homoeopathic efficiency I would first talk about ALLERGY. A difficult situation resulting from hyper-responsiveness to external and internal causes and at times from unfavorable descend through genetic inheritance, this multi-headed monster often has its impact on upper, lower respiratory tracts and skin, and nomenclatures by various disease names !. Be it Atopic Dermatitis, Bronchial Asthma, Allergic Bronchitis, Allergic Rhinitis, Contact Dermatitis, Allergic Nasal polyp, Allergic pharyngitis and laryngitis…., all find their roots at allergy. Homoeopathy by its novel idea of introspection of the case by the individualization mandate in case-taking diagnoses the person beyond the disease per se.
The application of this holistic science in the form of therapeutics often compromises hyper-responsiveness setting him free from the clutches of allergic disorders and facilitating normal life.
The other major sectors of Homoeopathic excellence are Obstetrics & Gynecology, Trichology [hairfall and other related diseases], Dermatologic ailments, Gastro-intestinal disorders, Cancer, Neurological disorders, Psychiatry, Renal diseases, Male & Female Infertility, Diabetes, Rheumatology, Hypertension and Cholesterol related ailments. Homoeopathy also does immensely well in diseases related to the heart.
Among the Gastrointestinal disorders the best treated illnesses are those related to the stress factors, and other psycho-somatic disorders. The major conditions are Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Acid Peptic Disease, Flatulent Dyspepsia, Peptic Ulcer & Chronic gastritis. Disorders of Liver, Pancreas and Intestines often turn a major reason for suffering in many patients which are often corrected with ease using Homoeopathic Therapeutics. Here again the diagnosis is very vital in prescribing under various heads and approaches which entirely depends on the seat of the disease. Very often all major investigations are often sought for interpreting the disease in detail and also as prognostic criterions to assess development towards cure.
The approach in female disorders is very holistic where the individual is deeply assessed in terms of thermal reactions, reactive patterns of the mind, basic attitudes, meteorological reactions, factors modifying the illness, temperament etc. The stress factors are deeply assessed. Every disease related to the female genital organs, diseases related to the menstrual cycles and other organs can be treated well by the Homoeopathic system leaving absolutely negligible possibilities of recurrence.
Prophylaxis, or in other words the preventive aspects of diseases, mostly endemic and epidemic diseases has been proved off late as a major advancement in Homoeopathy. In the past decade Homoeopathy was solely responsible for limiting many outbreaks by the appropriate intervention of the Government sectors and the Homoeopathic Medical Colleges with support from the urban and rural private practitioners who shouldered the mission. The preventive medicines revealed by the 'Genus Epidemicus' study was widely used for Cholera, Japanese Encephalitis, Chikun Guniya, Dengue Hemorrhagic Fevers, Leptospirosis [Weil's Disease] etc. Preventive medicines were widely distributed by these bodies at the disease stricken areas and surrounding promptly reducing new outbreaks, incidences of cases and thus setting new standards in community health care.
The recent advancement in Science and Materials Labs, Arizona has helped interpret the extreme scientificity of Homoeopathic medicines through the explanations favoring the formation of nano-bubbles in the vehicle [water, alcohol] as a part of the act of homoeopathic potentisation where the OH radicals present in these inherits the properties of the mother drug substance at its sp hybridization levels which remains in the vehicle much after the non- existence of the mother drug quantitatively, thus explaining the action of Homoeopathic medicines of higher dynamization status !
The recent development as a part of a conference in favor of NASA, at the Rutger's University says that Homeopathy could be the next choice in their Lunar Settlement projects for future!! The conventional medicines of allopathy are found to fail for space conditions. This is because of problems related to absorption and solubility of such medicines in extreme environments, where there is no gravity.
This is where our ultra-diluted medicines could come up as a possible substitute as they are easily absorbed by the body. The only system of medicine which uses ultra-diluted medicines is Homoeopathy which gives it a huge momentum into a futuristic medicine!!
The similarities in the Mitochondrial DNA origin concepts and the fundamentals of Homoeopathic philosophy about concepts of miasms, the formation of Psora in particular !, gives hope in a new direction, where the genetically inherited diseases could be added to Homoeopathic scope and domain with possibilities of efficient intervention. The observation also adds credibility to the Homoeopathic philosophy. The miasmatic assessment of individuals could be done and diseases could be anticipated, envisioned, treated and controlled efficiently abiding the concepts in the Homoeopathic Philosophy!
The recent era of corporate Homoeopathic Chains in our state with excellent infrastructure, therapeutic systems involving high quality imported German Manufactured pharmaceutical support and experienced highly qualified medical fraternity adds more promise to the Homoeopathic patient community. AIHMS HOMOEOPATHY [Aditya Institute of Homoeopathic Medical Sciences] located across the stateat Kannur, Kozhikode, Cochin and Trivandrum is the leading in this stream with 18 speciality clinics functioning for them.
I therefore leave the readers to ponder on these and to assess if Homoeopathy is just a complementary & alternative system of medicine, or a post modern system of medicine which could also be addressed as the future of Medicine!
