Hormesis: the Arndt-Schulz lawrediscovered

The Arndt-Shultz law which states that biological systems respond very differently to chemicals in different doses has been rediscovered by research biologists and renamed hormesis. Much new experimental evidence has been accumulated over the last forty years showing that biological, physiological or biochemical responses to a drug at a low dose may be completely opposite to that response when a larger dose is administered. This paper reports on some of that research which is thought to buttress homeopathic thery

Efeito das doses muito fracas de acido acetilsalicilico sobre a interacao da parede vascular e das plaquetas / The effect of ultralow dosages of acetil salicylic acid on the interaction of the vascular wall and platelets

O efeito dos fatores vasculares sobre a agregacao plaquetaria se manifesta sobre os dois maiores parametros desta agregacao: a amplitude e a velocidade. Estes modelos experimentais sao interessantes a duplo titulo para a homeopatia; eles confirmam a atividade das diluicoes hahnemannianas e mostram os efeitos qualitativamente bem diferentes entre as doses usuais e as doses muito fracas(AU)

Some elements of homoeopathy

The extremely high sensitivity of biological systems provides the key to understanding homoepathic "effects". According to the classical analogon of a pendulum, the "coherent states" in quantum physics are able to explain the simile principle as well as the potency rule as interrelated phenomena. The basic effect is always delocalization of the energy to such an extent that the physical proof gets more and more complicated the higher the efficacy becomes

Homoeopathy and traditional Chinese medicine

In the autumn of 1982 Dr williams spent three months studying traditional Chinese acupuncture at the Nanjing College of Traditional Chinese Medicine. In the lecture given at the Annual General Meeting of the Faculty of Homoeopathy in 1983, Dr Williams draws some comparisons and some contrasts between the practice of homoeopathy and traditional Chinese medicine

Hipotese sobre o mecanismo de acao da homeopatia em funcao das recentes contribuicoes produzidas pela neurofisiologia / Hipothesys about the homeopathy action mode in view of the recent neurophysiology contributions

A evolucao das tecnicas de investigacoes biologicas permite apos alguns anos, a fisiologia, estudar as engrenagens mais delicadas celulares e sub-celulares. A este nivel, certos mecanismos de acao bem postos recentemente em evidencia pela neurofisiologia, permite entrever o mecanismo intimo de acao da homeopatia. Nos tomamos como exemplo a acao das doses homeopaticas do OPIUM e do STRYCHNINUM, comparando-as as recentes descobertas concernentes aos sistemas de neuromediacao endorfinica e glicinergica
