Effects of homeopathic arsenic on tobacco plant resistence to tobacco mosaic virus. Theoretical suggestions about system variability, basead on a large experimental data set

This research aimed at verifying the efficacy of homeopathic treatments by plant-based bioassays, which may be suitable for basic research, because they lack placebo effects and provide large datasets for statistical analyses. (AU)

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

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)

A pilot statistical study with homoeopathic potencies of Arsenicum album in wheat germination as a simple model

A blind, randomized laboratory trial to study homoeopathic potencies of Arsenicum album on wheat germination is proposed as a simple model which allows a rigorous statistical analysis. The parametric tests show that the differences between the treatment groups cannot be explained as a mere effect of intrinsic seed variability
