Spring is in the air and the snnezing begins

Hay fever and rhinitis are complaints that may seem trivial to the observer. However, to the sufferer they are the source af considerable annoyance and even distress, often detracting from a person's quality of life. A large range of over-the-counter and prescription medications are availabre for the treatment of rhinitis and hay fever. They fall into two main groups: the antihistamines and the tropical steroids. Both of these types of grug work by suppressing the body's immure response, (substances that cause an allergic response, such as pollens or house dust mite). They are generally only effective if taken on a once-or twice-daily basis. Although more refined than they used to be, these conventional medications can still cause a numcer of side effects, the most worrying ofwhich is sedation that can interfere with the individual's ability to concentrate, drive and to operate machinery.

Traitement homeopathique du rhume des foins / Homeopathic treatment of hay fever

Le "terrain" du rhume des foins est essentiellement tuberculinique et il faut, en premier, s'entendre sur ce Tuberculinisme. C'estplus souvent un Tuberculinisme "lent", conjoint a la Psore, qu'un Tuberculinisme "vif" autonome. Le peu de place que Phosphorus tient dans le traitement du rhume des foins le montre bien alors qu'Arsenicum album, maitre-remede d'un Tuberculinisme moins "flambant" y joue au contraire, un grand role. Sans doute faut-il conserver a la Psore une part situee hors du Tuberculinisme et ou l'allergie et l'anaphylaxie sont egalement vivaces.(AU)

The effect of potentized histamine on serum cortisol

The results of a pilot study to assess the effect of potentizes histamine on serum cortisol levels in healthy volunteers suggest that there may be a subgroup of people who are particularly sensitive to potentizes histamine. It is suggested that a larger double-blind study would provide a useful and easily reproducible way of evaluating the effect of potentizes histamine on serum cortisol in vivo using stardard laboratory investigations

A homeopatia e uma resposta placebo? / Is the homeopathy a placebo response?

Num experimento duplo-cego randomizado, foi testada a hipotese de que as potencias homeopaticas sao placebo. O modelo escolhido para estudo comparou, os efeitos de uma preparacao de mistura de polens de capim com placebo, em 144 pacientes com Febre do Feno ativa. A resposta era mais significativa quando os resultados eram corrigidos para a dose de polen, e quando ela estava associada a uma diminuicao de 50 porcento da necessidade de anti-histaminicos. Nos pacientes que receberam o tratamento homeopatico foi notada, inicialmente, uma agravacao mais frequente dos sintomas, seguida de melhora. Nao houve evidencia que sustentasse a ideia de que a acao do placebo explica, completamente, as respostas clinicas para as drogas homeopaticas
