Statistical analysisof the effect of high dilutions of arsenic in a large dataset from a wheat germination model

ABSTRACT

This paper describes the statisticalanalysis of a series of experiments using a simple biological mosdel (wheat germination in vitro), where a large number of wheat seeds were treated with homeopathic potencies of Arsenic trioxide. Some potencies, such as As2O3 40x, 42x and 45x, have repeatedly shown a significant stimulating effect on germination compared to controls, whereas As2O335x has a significant inhibiting effect. In some experiments the seeds... (AU)
