La gioconda effect, homeopathy and self-organizing factors of biofield methodology

The phenomenon of people's attraction to Homeopathy throughout its history is a known fact by all homeopaths. This attraction is noted in polarization of people's opinions, some for and some against. People in favor of Homeopathy use dynamizeddrugs and contribute to the area, for example, the development of the methodology Self-Organizing Factors of Biofield (BioFAO). In contrast, people against Homeopathy try to stop its use and feed endless discussions. Despite be aware of these events, there was no prior description about the whole process identified as an effect to make easy the development of an appropriate response. This understanding was published in a brief explanation of the phenomenon exemplified by development of BioFAO. Due to similar behavior of people that happened with another great work, which is a famous painting, the phenomenon was called La Gioconda Effect. Aims: The purpose of this paper is to describe the La Gioconda Effect. Methodology:After comparing both Homeopathy's and Mona Lisa'shistories found at bibliographic review, the La Gioconda Effect was revealed, described qualitatively, and published. Results and discussion:The relationship between people with Homeopathy showed several similarities with people and Mona Lisa. Both workssurvived on a secular scale, influenced generations, have a period of social acceptance, many people show extreme interest in the use, education, research and dissemination of them. A remarkable example of the development of Homeopathy is the creation of BioFAO, which is a protocol with a complex of dynamizeddugs. The description of La Gioconda Effect helps to understand the history and development of Homeopathy, as well as people's behavior. Conclusion:La Gioconda Effect demonstrates people's attractionto Homeopathy.

Ganho de massa entre dois perfis de tratamentos para suínos com Fatores de Auto-organização / Gain of mass between two profiles of treatments to pigs with Self-Organizing Factors

Introduction: Highly-diluted medicines are used in clinical practice to treat many pathologies of pigs [1-4]. This therapeutic tool had its potential for valued use due to the global scenario changing on the restriction to limit of antimicrobial residues in the security feeding and production of foods from animal origin for human consume, especially the meat production [5].Conclusion: Through the evidence of mass measurement, the usage profile of group B treatment shown to work with pigs and give greater weight live gain in group A during the available trial. Future studies should be conducted with larger numbers of animals to confirm the incidence of the unique profile, with replications to assess the complete production cycle, including the relationship ending / sow / year. Finally, other scales and dilutions should be analyzed to adjust for best answer from the best treatment effect profile.(AU)

Introdução: Medicamentos ultra-diluídos são utilizados na prática clínica no tratamento de diversas patologias de suínos [1-4]. Esta modalidade terapêutica teve seu potencial de utilização valorizado devido à mudança do cenário mundial sobre limite de resíduos de antimicrobianos na segurança alimentar e produção de alimentos de origem animal para consumo humano, especialmente a produção de carne [5].Conclusão: Através das evidências de aferição de massa, o perfil de utilização de tratamento do grupo B demonstrou funcionar com suínos e proporcionar maior ganho de peso vivo em relação ao grupo A durante o período estudado. Futuros trabalhos deverão ser realizados com maior número de animais para confirmação da incidência do perfil único, com repetições que avaliem o ciclo produtivo completo, inclusive a relação terminados/porca/ano. Finalmente, outras escalas e potencias devem ser testados para ajustar a resposta a partir do perfil de tratamento de melhor efeito.(AU)
