RESUMO
Muchos aportes de la ciencia actual pueden servir para entender el funcionamiento de la Homeopatía; tal es el caso de la cronobiología y el conocimiento de los cicloscircadianos. El comprender que los ciclos circadianos no son un proceso pasivo que realiza el organismo ante los cambios ambientales que ocurren durante las 24 horas del día ha sido una labor difícil. La ciencia no sólo ha descubierto los sistemas neurológicos que permiten la permanencia de estos ciclos, incluso en organismos privados de la luz, sino que ha encontrado otros elementos que ayudan a perpetuar estas funciones; uno de ellos es el ciclo de los genes CLOCK y BMAL-1, agentes responsables de perpetuar el ciclo en diferentes grupos celulares de todo el organismo, independientemente del sistema nervioso central. Entender esos temas permite plantear hipótesis sobre el funcionamiento del medicamento homeopático y el porqué del predominio de horario en la aparición de los síntomas tanto en los enfermos como en las patogenesias.
Many contributions of modern science can be used to understand homeopathy and how it works, as in the case of chronobiology and knowledge of circadian cycles.Understanding that circadian cycles are not a passive process that happens in the individual due to environmental changes in 24 hrs has been a difficult task. Sciencehas not only discovered neurological systems that allow the permanence of these cycles in even organisms that have been deprived of light but it have found other items that help perpetuate these functions One of them is cycle of the CLOCK andBMAL-1 genes which are responsible for perpetuating the cycle in different cell groups throughout the body regardless of Central Nervous System. Understandingthese issues allows to develop hypotheses about the functioning of homeopathic medicine and may be the reason for the predominance certain hours of the day inthe onset of symptoms in both patients and in the medicine pathogenesis.

Las pruebas de laboratorio son un complemento importante para que el médico homeópata recopile la totalidad de los datos con que se manifiesta la enfermedad de sus pacientes. Uno de los exámenes más habituales a los que se puede recurrir es la biometría hemática, el cual ofrece una orientación conveniente sobre los mecanismos que se activan en el organismo ante un estímulo nocivo determinado,mediante información detallada sobre los elementos formes de la sangre: serie blanca, serie roja y plaquetas. Se presentan a continuación las consideraciones más importantes sobre las variables que se estudian mediante un hemograma, pues aunque ninguno delos valores que nos puede proporcionar se encuentra en los repertorios clásicos,es evidente que nos ofrece información sobre signos tan importantes o comunescomo anemia, hemorragias, trombosis, tromboflebitis o abscesos, todos ellos ensus diferentes modalidades.
Laboratory tests are an important complement to the homeopath. They help to collect all the data manifested by the patient´s disease. One of the most common tests to which the homeopath can turn to is the Cell Blood Count, which offers a convenient guidance of the mechanisms that are activated in the body to a determined noxious stimulus, through detailed information about the blood cells: white,red and platelets count.The following are the most important considerations of the variables that are studied by a CBC, as though none of the values that we can find is in the classical repertoire, it is evident that offers very important information on common signs such as anemia, bleeding, thrombosis, thrombophlebitis or abscess, all in their different ways.

Although various mechanisms involving antibodies and various cell types participate, a Thl and Th2 cells imbalance seems to play a central role for allergy development. Other lymphocyte subpopulations, such as Th17, CD4 FOXP3, and Th9 positive regulatory T lymphocytes may also be involved in the allergic response. Regulatory processes are an appealing target for therapeutic approaches aiming to solve allergic reactions by restoring the delicate balance within the immune system. Transfer factor (TF) or dialyzable leukocyte extract is meant to transfer cell-mediated immunity from immune competent donors to unsensitized or deficient recipients. A PubMed search on the current knowledge on TF indicates that TF may restore the Th1/Th2 balance and improve immune regulatory mechanisms of patients receiving it. Our preliminary results demonstrate that TF induces mRNA expression of IFN-g, osteopontin, RANTES, and hBD-2 in human healthy subjects. TF has been used to treat a variety of immune dysfunction related-pathologies, such as allergy, autoimmunity, immunodeficiencies, infectious diseases and tumors. Patients receiving TF together with their conventional treatment often have better clinical evolution than without it, as we have witnessed, adding TF to the usual medical treatment of allergic diseases as an attempt to provide allergic patients with those regulatory elements that they apparently lack but require to achieve properly regulated immune responses and thus obtain a faster and better resolution of allergic reactions.
