ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: In the previous paper, a relatively new interpretation of quantum theory called quantum Bayesianism or QBism was introduced as an alternative quantum metaphor for the therapeutic process (TP). This is because previous metaphors have been based on conventional quantum theory (CQT) and its notion that quantum states belong to a strongly objective shared reality. QBism says no: quantum states are subjective degrees of belief made by the individual agents assigning those states. This suggests QBism's explicit subjectivity is more in line with practitioners' (Pr) and patient's (Px) implicitly subjective TP experience. OBJECTIVE: The objective was to investigate the impact on this suggestion of a gyroscopic model of the vital force, Vf. METHOD: Based on an original starting wavefunction for the Vf, a sequence of equations and transformations between them are generated and then interpreted as the Vf interacting with and moving into and out of disease (Dx) states, in essence, a physics of health. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: These equations and their transformations manage to predict (a) homeopathic aggravation from the curative remedy (Rx), and (b) the logic behind Hahnemann's development of the LM potencies. Further, displaying these equations and their interactions pictorially and geometrically (as a stellated octahedron) suggests that the recently developed gyroscopic model for the Vf supports a metaphor for the TP (based on the subjectivity explicit in QBism) that is indeed viable and potentially superior to previous metaphors based on the strong objectivity of CQT.

In the last 200 years, the action of the highly diluted homeopathic remedies has been proved by their curative effect on the human organism. In this work, a hypothesis concerning the mystifying question about this action is proposed. The hypothesis suggests that any pathology, either functional or structural, can be detected in the change of the overall energy of the human body. Such energy is constituted by fields of force according to quantum physics. More precisely, every disturbance of the human organism affects the spin on electrons of different elements within the human body, and their reset could take place with an agent similar to the electromagnetic force that created the problem. This statement has been proved by the correct homeopathic treatments, as it can be seen in many published cases. The hypothesis is based on two approaches, the idea of the spin of electrons and the vital force, and their scientific relevance.

El doctor Francisco Xavier Eizayaga (1921-2001) dedicó más de 50 años de su vida al ejercicio y la enseñanza de la Homeopatía en varios países de Latinoamérica y Europa. El texto que presentamos es un resumen de la conferencia que el prestigiado médico homeópata ofreció el 8 de junio de 1979 en las instalaciones de la Escuela Nacional de Medicina y Homeopatía, perteneciente al Instituto Politécnico Nacional. En él se aborda el progreso de la medicina y se enfatiza que, aunque el léxico de esta materia se ha multiplicado, lo que verdaderamente debe importar al médico son los hechos, que siempre son mejores que los elementos teóricos. El doctor Eizayaga habla de tópicos tan variados como la posología, el uso de las diferentes potencias, la importancia de contar con escuelas de gran calidad para atajar la aparición de iluminados o curanderos, así como de la Ley de semejanza o similitud, y el concepto de fuerza vital.

Dr. Francisco Xavier Eizayaga (1921-2001) has spent more than 50 years of his life practicing and teaching homeopathy in several countries in Latin America and Europe. The present text is an abstract of the conference that the prestigious homeopath offered in June 8, 1979 at the Escuela Nacional de Medicina y Homeopatía (National School of Medicine and Homeopathy) which belongs to Instituto Politécnico Nacional (National Polytechnic Institute) in México. In it, the progress in medicine is addressed and the author emphasized that although the lexicon in this matter has multiplied, what really should matter to the practitioner are the facts, which are always better than theoretical elements. Dr. Eizayaga talks about various topics as the dosage, the use of different potencies, the importance of high-quality schools to stop the emergence of healers or enlightened masters, the Law of Similars and the concept of vital force.

La Homeopatía tiene su origen en la obra de su fundador, Samuel Hahnemann, y entre sus escritos más importantes está en primer lugar el Organon, que fue corregidoy editado seis veces. A través de la historia de esta disciplina se han hecho diversas interpretaciones de los conceptos principales, lo que obliga hoy volver aHahnemann y confrontarlo con sus exégetas e intérpretes. Se analizan principalmente conceptos como fuerza vital, Natura morborum medicatrix e hipocratismo.Se despoja a la Homeopatía de toda aura espiritual y filosófica para situarla como lo que es: una disciplina médica con fundamentos científicos. (AU)
Homeopathy has its origins in the works of Samuel Hahnemann, of which the Organon is the most important. Organon was corrected and edited six times. Throughout the history of this discipline, the interpretation of the main concepts have been diverse which prompts a return to Hahnemann and confronts him with his exegetes and interpreters. The main concepts analyzed are the vital force, Natura Morborum Medicatrix and analyzed hipocratism. Stripping Homeopathy of all the spiritual and philosophical aura, to place it as it is, a medical discipline with scientific basis. (AU)

Dos de los obstáculos que han impedido la difusión e incorporación de la Homeopatía en los planos nacional e internacional, son comprender la estructura de las ultradiluciones así como entender y explicar cuál es, o cuáles son, los mecanismos de acción de dichas ultradiluciones para efectuar respuestas biológicas en organismos o cultivos celulares que llamamos respuestas curativas. El objetivo del presente trabajo es mostrar brevemente la información y los artículos científicos que permiten explicar y sustentar uno de los varios mecanismos de acción de los medicamentos homeopáticos en ultradiluciones, como es la modulación de la expresión genética.
