Chandran KC is presenting a 3-day lecture series on redefining homeopathy as molecular imprints therapeutics. The broad outline shows topics over the 3 days including why homeopathy needs redefining to address issues like unscientific theories, pseudoscience, and skepticism from the scientific community. Day 1 lecture 1 discusses these issues in homeopathy and the need for a scientifically viable hypothesis. It outlines challenges from regulatory bodies like the UK and Australian reports that found no reliable evidence of homeopathy's effectiveness.
This book provides an overview of several key topics related to interpreting chronic illness through the lens of homeopathy, traditional Chinese medicine, and biomedicine. It explores the relationship between the five senses and Chinese medicine's five elements. Each element chapter examines examples of illnesses, related homeopathic remedies, and how they connect to concepts in each medical model. While briefly introducing each system, the focus is on exploring ideas rather than clinical application. It aims to provide a new framework for understanding health, though leaves some questions unanswered about reconciling aspects of different systems in practice. Overall, it offers food for thought in charting connections between these approaches.
Herbalism is a traditional medicinal practice based on using plants and plant extracts for medicine. Plants produce chemical compounds that can help treat human diseases, and many herbs and spices used in food also yield medicinal benefits. Chromotherapy is an alternative medicine method that uses color and light to balance a person's energy. Acupuncture is another alternative medicine technique that inserts thin needles at specific points on the body to correct imbalances in qi energy flow believed to regulate bodily functions according to traditional Chinese medicine concepts. While acupuncture is generally safe when done by trained practitioners, there is no evidence it is effective beyond pain and nausea relief.
The document discusses the transition from homeopathy to physiological regulating medicine (PRM). While homeopathy is based on the principle of treating "like with like" using highly diluted substances, PRM was developed by an Italian research group inspired by homeopathy but aiming to have a more scientifically valid treatment approach based on the latest immunology and neuroendocrinology discoveries. Key aspects of homeopathy discussed include the principle of similarity in symptom matching, and the use of potentized dilutions, which some research has found can induce physical changes in water and potentially have physiological effects.

A Not-So-Gentle Refutation of the Defence of Homeopathyhome
In a recent paper, Levy, Gadd, Kerridge,
and Komesaroff attempt to defend the ethicality of
homeopathy by attacking the utilitarian ethical
framework as a basis for medical ethics and by
introducing a distinction between evidence-based
medicine and modern science. This paper demonstrates
that their argumentation is not only insufficient
to achieve that goal but also incorrect.
Utilitarianism is not required to show that homeopathic
practice is unethical; indeed, any normative
basis of medical ethics will make it unethical, as a
defence of homeopathic practice requires the rejection
of modern natural sciences, which are an integral part of
medical ethics systems. This paper also points out that
evidence-based medicine lies at the very core of modern
science. Particular arguments made by Levy et al. within
the principlist medical ethics normative system are also
shown to be wrong.

When cholera first invaded Europe in 1831, the
mortality throughout Europe was generally between
40% and 60%. To the surprise of many, mortality
rates reported by homeopathic physicians was generally
below 10%, and commonly under 4%. Let me
present two typical cholera reports, which have a

territory of Raab in Hungary where in 1831 a
Dr Joseph Bakody treated 223 patients with mild to
severe cholera, 14 of which were in a state of collapse .
He lost a total of 8 patients, a mortality of 3.6%. A
similar situation occurred in Cincinnati in 1849. The
Board of Health issued an order calling for physicians

homeopathic physicians attracted national attention
when they reported not a single death out of their first

physicians, Dr Pulte and Ehrmann would eventually
report treating 2646 cases with 35 deaths, or a
mortality rate of 1.3%. Allopaths reported fatal
outcomes in about 50% of their cases.
1) Homoeopathy provides gentle and permanent treatments for chronic diseases like diabetes and arthritis by stimulating the body's defense mechanisms, whereas allopathy can only control symptoms with lifelong medications that often have side effects.
2) Clinical studies show homoeopathy effectively treats many acute and chronic conditions, and costs much less than allopathy.
3) Recent research detected nanoparticles of original substances in highly diluted homoeopathic remedies, challenging the idea that ultra-high dilutions cannot have any active ingredients. More rigorous research is still needed to fully validate homoeopathy.
The document discusses alternative medicine (AM) from the perspective of doctors and natural scientists. It defines AM and notes its inhomogeneity and non-scientific character. Several AM methods are described in detail, including homeopathy, acupuncture, electroacupuncture, psychic healing, and extreme nutrition systems. The effectiveness and ethics of AM are examined. Alternative cancer treatments are also discussed.
Christian Friedrich Samuel Hahnemann is considered the founder of homeopathy. He developed the principle of "similars" - that a substance can cure symptoms in a healthy individual that are similar to those of an illness. Hahnemann experimented by administering potential remedies to healthy subjects to record their symptoms, known as "homeopathic provings". He also proposed three chronic diseases or "miasms" - psora, syphilis, and sycosis. Later, other proposed miasms included tuberculosis and cancer. Some homeopaths experimented with combining remedies for different symptoms, but Hahnemann was skeptical it could lead to polypharmacy. While homeopathy has changed over 200
Homeopathy and mainstream medicine: a dialogue of the deaf?home
homeopathy is enigmatic, uniquely, it traces its
intellectual ancestry to the European enlightenment – the
same intellectual source as modern western scientific
medicine. Its founder, Samuel Hahnemann was steeped
in enlightenment values, even to the extent of writing the
highest ideal of Enlightenment thought, rationalism, into
the title of his magnum opus the Organon der rationellen
Heilkunde. He strongly held the enlightenment view that
knowledge is not innate, but comes only from observation
guided by reason, insisting that: ‘The pure, characteristic,
curative virtues of medicines cannot be apprehended
by specious a priori sophistry, or from the smell,
taste or appearance of the medicine, or from chemical
analysis.’
Merits of traditional system of medicineDonaldTandia
This document discusses the merits and importance of traditional medicine systems. Some key points made include:
- Traditional medicine is very cost effective compared to modern medicine and uses natural products that have few side effects.
- It serves as an important basis for drug discovery and development, as many modern drugs are derived from plants used in traditional systems.
- Traditional medicine can be very effective for chronic conditions and is easily accessible in many parts of the world.
- Diseases like malaria continue to be treated using herbal medicines identified through traditional knowledge.

CHAPTER 15: Theories From the Biomedical Sciences
Melanie McEwen
Maria Leon is in her final year of a graduate program preparing to become a certified registered nurse anesthetist (CRNA). During the course of her graduate education, Maria observed that most people reported a burning sensation as propofol (a drug used to induce general anesthesia) was administered intravenously (IV). In conducting a review of the literature and discussing her observations with other CRNAs, Maria found several techniques used to minimize the injection pain. Based on this information, Maria decided that she would like to conduct a research study to examine the effectiveness of using lidocaine to reduce the injection pain of propofol. This project would fulfill the capstone requirement for her master’s degree.
A literature review of pain management led Maria to the gate control theory, which posits that there is a gating mechanism in the spinal cord. When pain impulses are transmitted from the periphery of the body by nerve fibers, the impulses travel to the dorsal horns of the spinal cord, specifically to the area of the cord called the
substantia gelatinosa
. According to the theory, when the gate is open, pain impulses ascend to the brain; when the gate is partially open, only some of the pain impulses can pass through. Pain medication has an effect on the gate, and if pain medication is administered before the onset of pain, it will help keep the gate closed, allowing fewer pain impulses to pass through.
In planning her research project, Maria used the gate control theory to guide the design and structure of the study. For the study, she decided to compare two techniques for pain prevention. One technique involved mixing 20 ml of a 1% propofol solution with 5 ml of a 2% lidocaine solution and injecting 1 ml of the mixture immediately before administration of the propofol. The second technique involved the placement of a tourniquet inflated to 50 mmHg on the arm in which the IV access device was placed. Then, 5 ml of 2% lidocaine would be injected and the tourniquet would be removed 1 minute later; propofol would then be injected. A time frame of 20 seconds would allow the clients to report pain in the arm before the propofol took effect. Maria also planned to have a control group that did not have either of the pain prevention interventions.
If the theory was correct, Maria hypothesized that both experimental groups would ha.

Scienti fi c medicine has achieved indispensable
progress in pediatric cancer therapy, however,
with treatments entailing numerous adverse

Further scienti fi c research should be performed
to promote and facilitate homeopathic
practice as an integrative part of pediatric cancer

Homeopathy practitioners should be encouraged
to practice responsibly and openly and to

This document outlines the classical and practical methodology of the Banerjee family for treating drug-dependent patients using homeopathy. It introduces Drs. Saptarshi and Subrata Banerjee, who have extensive clinical experience in England and India. Their approach utilizes organopathic remedies based on Hahnemann's Organon aphorisms and the works of Burnett, Clarke, and other homeopaths. The methodology aims to give patients confidence by effectively treating them in the first or second follow-up while gradually reducing conventional medications, thereby alleviating side effects and building trust.
Behavioral pharmaceutical is additionally a moderately new idea according Julio Licinio. It is an interdisciplinary field of study consolidating learning from fields like science, brain research and sociologies.
ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE.docx PTT. Slide shareKoudomJoycy
This document provides an overview of alternative and traditional medicine. It defines key terms like complementary medicine, alternative medicine, and integrative medicine. It describes the main categories of alternative medicine practices including natural products, mind-body medicine, manipulative practices, and energy or whole medical systems. Specific alternative therapies like herbal medicine, acupuncture, chiropractic, massage and meditation are discussed. The document contrasts alternative medicine with conventional Western medicine and notes alternative medicine focuses more on holism, spirituality and vital energy forces while conventional medicine is more materialistic.
The Biology of the Many and the Health of the IndividualStephen Lewis
Although human biology studies humans scientifically, many human biologists work in healthcare. Human biology focuses on populations while healthcare helps individuals. With evolutionary medicine linking the two fields, human biology may need to understand individuals and disease at an individual level rather than just population levels. Reconstructing individuals as biological entities with interactions between various factors could help human biology understand health and disease in individuals.
This document provides an executive summary of a book titled "Scientific Framework of Homeopathy". The book aims to establish the scientific basis and position of homeopathy in healthcare. It includes chapters on the current state of homeopathy, users of homeopathy, homeopathic education, safety and ethical issues, meta-analyses and systematic reviews, clinical and basic research, homeopathic pathogenetic trials, veterinary homeopathy, agrohomeopathy, and homeopathy for epidemic diseases. The executive summary outlines the key topics and findings covered in each chapter of the book. It aims to provide an overview of the scientific evidence and framework for homeopathy presented in the full publication.
Homeopathy is a type of alternative medicine that treats diseases with highly diluted substances that produce similar symptoms to the disease in healthy individuals. It is based on three principles: that a substance can cure symptoms it causes in healthy people, that it works based on the body's sensitivity, and that remedies encourage healing. While supporters claim it is effective for many ailments with few side effects, critics argue it is not scientifically valid as the dilutions are too small to have an active ingredient, and any effects are due to the placebo effect rather than the remedies themselves. The debate around its efficacy and whether it should be considered a legitimate medical option continues.
This document discusses the convergence of homeopathy and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), known as homeosiniatry. It outlines the origins of homeosiniatry from the 19th century work of homeopaths who found connections between homeopathic remedies and sensitive points on the body that align with acupuncture points. Modern practitioners like de La Fuye have developed the field by combining homeopathic remedies and acupuncture. Theories have been proposed to reconcile homeopathy and TCM frameworks, such as relating remedies to meridian theories. Recent work by Kantor has expanded the five phases model to comprehensively integrate homeopathy, TCM and biomedicine for diagnosis and treatment of chronic illness.

The Biopsychosocial Model 25 Years Later:
Principles, Practice, and Scientifi c Inquiry
ABSTRACT
The biopsychosocial model is both a philosophy of clinical care and a practical
clinical guide. Philosophically, it is a way of understanding how suffering, disease,
and illness are affected by multiple levels of organization, from the societal to the
molecular. At the practical level, it is a way of understanding the patient’s subjec-
tive experience as an essential contributor to accurate diagnosis, health outcomes,
and humane care. In this article, we defend the biopsychosocial model as a nec-
essary contribution to the scientifi c clinical method, while suggesting 3 clarifi ca-
tions: (1) the relationship between mental and physical aspects of health is com-
plex—subjective experience depends on but is not reducible to laws of physiology;
(2) models of circular causality must be tempered by linear approximations when
considering treatment options; and (3) promoting a more participatory clinician-
patient relationship is in keeping with current Western cultural tendencies, but may
not be universally accepted. We propose a biopsychosocial-oriented clinical prac-
tice whose pillars include (1) self-awareness; (2) active cultivation of trust; (3) an
emotional style characterized by empathic curiosity; (4) self-calibration as a way to
reduce bias; (5) educating the emotions to assist with diagnosis and forming thera-
peutic relationships; (6) using informed intuition; and (7) communicating clinical
evidence to foster dialogue, not just the mechanical application of protocol. In con-
clusion, the value of the biopsychosocial model has not been in the discovery of
new scientifi c laws, as the term “new paradigm” would suggest, but rather in guid-
ing parsimonious application of medical knowledge to the needs of each patient.

The document discusses the history and philosophy of integrated management approaches for illness, including Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI) and proposes a new generalized approach called Integrated Management of Human Illness (IMHI). IMHI aims to provide comprehensive, integrated care for patients by considering biological, clinical, behavioral, environmental, and socioeconomic factors. The key aspects of IMHI discussed are its holistic nature, emphasis on prevention and assessment of subclinical issues, and approach through syndromic classification and management of illness.
EWOCS-I: The catalog of X-ray sources in Westerlund 1 from the Extended Weste...Sérgio Sacani
Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters
represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions
among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1
. The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution,
with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known
massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.
The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically youngSérgio Sacani
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.

The document discusses alternative medicine (AM) from the perspective of doctors and natural scientists. It defines AM and notes its inhomogeneity and non-scientific character. Several AM methods are described in detail, including homeopathy, acupuncture, electroacupuncture, psychic healing, and extreme nutrition systems. The effectiveness and ethics of AM are examined. Alternative cancer treatments are also discussed.
Christian Friedrich Samuel Hahnemann is considered the founder of homeopathy. He developed the principle of "similars" - that a substance can cure symptoms in a healthy individual that are similar to those of an illness. Hahnemann experimented by administering potential remedies to healthy subjects to record their symptoms, known as "homeopathic provings". He also proposed three chronic diseases or "miasms" - psora, syphilis, and sycosis. Later, other proposed miasms included tuberculosis and cancer. Some homeopaths experimented with combining remedies for different symptoms, but Hahnemann was skeptical it could lead to polypharmacy. While homeopathy has changed over 200
Homeopathy and mainstream medicine: a dialogue of the deaf?home
homeopathy is enigmatic, uniquely, it traces its
intellectual ancestry to the European enlightenment – the
same intellectual source as modern western scientific
medicine. Its founder, Samuel Hahnemann was steeped
in enlightenment values, even to the extent of writing the
highest ideal of Enlightenment thought, rationalism, into
the title of his magnum opus the Organon der rationellen
Heilkunde. He strongly held the enlightenment view that
knowledge is not innate, but comes only from observation
guided by reason, insisting that: ‘The pure, characteristic,
curative virtues of medicines cannot be apprehended
by specious a priori sophistry, or from the smell,
taste or appearance of the medicine, or from chemical
analysis.’
Merits of traditional system of medicineDonaldTandia
This document discusses the merits and importance of traditional medicine systems. Some key points made include:
- Traditional medicine is very cost effective compared to modern medicine and uses natural products that have few side effects.
- It serves as an important basis for drug discovery and development, as many modern drugs are derived from plants used in traditional systems.
- Traditional medicine can be very effective for chronic conditions and is easily accessible in many parts of the world.
- Diseases like malaria continue to be treated using herbal medicines identified through traditional knowledge.

CHAPTER 15: Theories From the Biomedical Sciences
Melanie McEwen
Maria Leon is in her final year of a graduate program preparing to become a certified registered nurse anesthetist (CRNA). During the course of her graduate education, Maria observed that most people reported a burning sensation as propofol (a drug used to induce general anesthesia) was administered intravenously (IV). In conducting a review of the literature and discussing her observations with other CRNAs, Maria found several techniques used to minimize the injection pain. Based on this information, Maria decided that she would like to conduct a research study to examine the effectiveness of using lidocaine to reduce the injection pain of propofol. This project would fulfill the capstone requirement for her master’s degree.
A literature review of pain management led Maria to the gate control theory, which posits that there is a gating mechanism in the spinal cord. When pain impulses are transmitted from the periphery of the body by nerve fibers, the impulses travel to the dorsal horns of the spinal cord, specifically to the area of the cord called the
substantia gelatinosa
. According to the theory, when the gate is open, pain impulses ascend to the brain; when the gate is partially open, only some of the pain impulses can pass through. Pain medication has an effect on the gate, and if pain medication is administered before the onset of pain, it will help keep the gate closed, allowing fewer pain impulses to pass through.
In planning her research project, Maria used the gate control theory to guide the design and structure of the study. For the study, she decided to compare two techniques for pain prevention. One technique involved mixing 20 ml of a 1% propofol solution with 5 ml of a 2% lidocaine solution and injecting 1 ml of the mixture immediately before administration of the propofol. The second technique involved the placement of a tourniquet inflated to 50 mmHg on the arm in which the IV access device was placed. Then, 5 ml of 2% lidocaine would be injected and the tourniquet would be removed 1 minute later; propofol would then be injected. A time frame of 20 seconds would allow the clients to report pain in the arm before the propofol took effect. Maria also planned to have a control group that did not have either of the pain prevention interventions.
If the theory was correct, Maria hypothesized that both experimental groups would ha.
Pediatrician, Certi fi ed in Pediatric Oncology , Homeopath , Paris , Francehome
Scienti fi c medicine has achieved indispensable
progress in pediatric cancer therapy, however,
with treatments entailing numerous adverse
effects and thus signi fi cant loss of quality of life.
Homeopathy can diminish these side effects and
strengthen the overall condition of the child, and
should be regarded as a respectable complementary
therapy in pediatric hemato-oncology.
Further scienti fi c research should be performed
to promote and facilitate homeopathic
practice as an integrative part of pediatric cancer
care.
Homeopathy practitioners should be encouraged
to practice responsibly and openly and to
contribute to and participate in the scienti fi c discussion.
Hemato-oncologists should be encouraged
to open their minds to appropriate
complementary methods and to enter into an
open and critical dialog with CAM-competent
colleagues, in order to ensure quali fi ed guidance
and maximum well-being for each child and its
family.
This document outlines the classical and practical methodology of the Banerjee family for treating drug-dependent patients using homeopathy. It introduces Drs. Saptarshi and Subrata Banerjee, who have extensive clinical experience in England and India. Their approach utilizes organopathic remedies based on Hahnemann's Organon aphorisms and the works of Burnett, Clarke, and other homeopaths. The methodology aims to give patients confidence by effectively treating them in the first or second follow-up while gradually reducing conventional medications, thereby alleviating side effects and building trust.
Behavioral pharmaceutical is additionally a moderately new idea according Julio Licinio. It is an interdisciplinary field of study consolidating learning from fields like science, brain research and sociologies.
ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE.docx PTT. Slide shareKoudomJoycy
This document provides an overview of alternative and traditional medicine. It defines key terms like complementary medicine, alternative medicine, and integrative medicine. It describes the main categories of alternative medicine practices including natural products, mind-body medicine, manipulative practices, and energy or whole medical systems. Specific alternative therapies like herbal medicine, acupuncture, chiropractic, massage and meditation are discussed. The document contrasts alternative medicine with conventional Western medicine and notes alternative medicine focuses more on holism, spirituality and vital energy forces while conventional medicine is more materialistic.
The Biology of the Many and the Health of the IndividualStephen Lewis
Although human biology studies humans scientifically, many human biologists work in healthcare. Human biology focuses on populations while healthcare helps individuals. With evolutionary medicine linking the two fields, human biology may need to understand individuals and disease at an individual level rather than just population levels. Reconstructing individuals as biological entities with interactions between various factors could help human biology understand health and disease in individuals.
This document provides an executive summary of a book titled "Scientific Framework of Homeopathy". The book aims to establish the scientific basis and position of homeopathy in healthcare. It includes chapters on the current state of homeopathy, users of homeopathy, homeopathic education, safety and ethical issues, meta-analyses and systematic reviews, clinical and basic research, homeopathic pathogenetic trials, veterinary homeopathy, agrohomeopathy, and homeopathy for epidemic diseases. The executive summary outlines the key topics and findings covered in each chapter of the book. It aims to provide an overview of the scientific evidence and framework for homeopathy presented in the full publication.
Homeopathy is a type of alternative medicine that treats diseases with highly diluted substances that produce similar symptoms to the disease in healthy individuals. It is based on three principles: that a substance can cure symptoms it causes in healthy people, that it works based on the body's sensitivity, and that remedies encourage healing. While supporters claim it is effective for many ailments with few side effects, critics argue it is not scientifically valid as the dilutions are too small to have an active ingredient, and any effects are due to the placebo effect rather than the remedies themselves. The debate around its efficacy and whether it should be considered a legitimate medical option continues.
This document discusses the convergence of homeopathy and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), known as homeosiniatry. It outlines the origins of homeosiniatry from the 19th century work of homeopaths who found connections between homeopathic remedies and sensitive points on the body that align with acupuncture points. Modern practitioners like de La Fuye have developed the field by combining homeopathic remedies and acupuncture. Theories have been proposed to reconcile homeopathy and TCM frameworks, such as relating remedies to meridian theories. Recent work by Kantor has expanded the five phases model to comprehensively integrate homeopathy, TCM and biomedicine for diagnosis and treatment of chronic illness.

The Biopsychosocial Model 25 Years Later:
Principles, Practice, and Scientifi c Inquiry
ABSTRACT
The biopsychosocial model is both a philosophy of clinical care and a practical
clinical guide. Philosophically, it is a way of understanding how suffering, disease,
and illness are affected by multiple levels of organization, from the societal to the
molecular. At the practical level, it is a way of understanding the patient’s subjec-
tive experience as an essential contributor to accurate diagnosis, health outcomes,
and humane care. In this article, we defend the biopsychosocial model as a nec-
essary contribution to the scientifi c clinical method, while suggesting 3 clarifi ca-
tions: (1) the relationship between mental and physical aspects of health is com-
plex—subjective experience depends on but is not reducible to laws of physiology;
(2) models of circular causality must be tempered by linear approximations when
considering treatment options; and (3) promoting a more participatory clinician-
patient relationship is in keeping with current Western cultural tendencies, but may
not be universally accepted. We propose a biopsychosocial-oriented clinical prac-
tice whose pillars include (1) self-awareness; (2) active cultivation of trust; (3) an
emotional style characterized by empathic curiosity; (4) self-calibration as a way to
reduce bias; (5) educating the emotions to assist with diagnosis and forming thera-
peutic relationships; (6) using informed intuition; and (7) communicating clinical
evidence to foster dialogue, not just the mechanical application of protocol. In con-
clusion, the value of the biopsychosocial model has not been in the discovery of
new scientifi c laws, as the term “new paradigm” would suggest, but rather in guid-
ing parsimonious application of medical knowledge to the needs of each patient.

The document discusses the history and philosophy of integrated management approaches for illness, including Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI) and proposes a new generalized approach called Integrated Management of Human Illness (IMHI). IMHI aims to provide comprehensive, integrated care for patients by considering biological, clinical, behavioral, environmental, and socioeconomic factors. The key aspects of IMHI discussed are its holistic nature, emphasis on prevention and assessment of subclinical issues, and approach through syndromic classification and management of illness.

EWOCS-I: The catalog of X-ray sources in Westerlund 1 from the Extended Weste...Sérgio Sacani
Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters
represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions
among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1
. The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution,
with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known
massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.
The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically youngSérgio Sacani
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.

ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptxPRIYANKA PATEL
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.

Nucleophilic Addition of carbonyl compounds.pptxSSR02
Nucleophilic addition is the most important reaction of carbonyls. Not just aldehydes and ketones, but also carboxylic acid derivatives in general.
Carbonyls undergo addition reactions with a large range of nucleophiles.
Comparing the relative basicity of the nucleophile and the product is extremely helpful in determining how reversible the addition reaction is. Reactions with Grignards and hydrides are irreversible. Reactions with weak bases like halides and carboxylates generally don’t happen.
Electronic effects (inductive effects, electron donation) have a large impact on reactivity.
Large groups adjacent to the carbonyl will slow the rate of reaction.
Neutral nucleophiles can also add to carbonyls, although their additions are generally slower and more reversible. Acid catalysis is sometimes employed to increase the rate of addition.

The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defectsSérgio Sacani
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.

WHY WE NEED A REDEFINING OF HOMEOPATHY?
A scientific REDEFINING and rational rebuilding of the whole system is essential, to emancipate
this powerful therapeutic art from the clutches of unscientific, metaphysical and vitalistic ideologies.
Modern scientific knowledge and its technologies have evolved into such a state of maturity that we
can now at least attempt with their help to provide a scientific and satisfactory explanation for the
centuries-old mysteries and riddles associated with this wonderful therapeutic system. Such a
fundamental re-building shall obviously result in finally enthroning homeopathy on its rightful status
as the most advanced branch of modern medical science, unfairly denied for more than last two
hundred years. In this modern era of scientific enlightenment and technological advance, we can no
longer hope to proceed further ahead with Homeopathy, without the help of a well proven and
universally acceptable scientific THEORY an PRACTICE. We can no longer hope to depend merely
upon certain set of somewhat mysterious ‘quotes’ and philosophical speculations inherited from our
great masters and ‘stalwarts’. It is very important that Homeopathy has to be first of all dealt with as
a subject of science, not as areligion or philosophy. Essentially, the principles of Homeopathy have
to achieve the right to be recognized as part of modern medical science. To begin with, it has to
attain acceptability among the modern scientific community, at least in terms of methodology, and
paradigms. To be a legitimate branch of modern medical science, it is imperative that homeopathy
should no more remain a mere collection of inflexible theories and dogmas. It should transform into
a vibrant knowledge system, undergoing an endless process of re-inventing, learning, self-renewal,
and advancement. It should be capable of proving its theories and propositions according to
scientific method, to imbibe new ideas into its theoretical framework, and to discard obsolete ones
mercilessly. To be scientific, approach of homeopathy towards the constantly advancing human

Facing The Challenges of Scientific Community
Skeptical scientists deny homeopathy works on the reason that nobody could explain how
homeopathy works. They should be said, the issue of efficacy of homeopathy should not be
confused with the lack of explanations or wrong explanations regarding how homeopathy works.
Pseudoscientific homeopathic theoreticians have contributed a lot in alienating homeopathy from
scientific community, through their vitalistic and energy medicine theories that never agree with
scientific knowledge system or scientific methods. In order to promote scientific homeopathy, we
have to address fllowing preliminary tasks:
1. Convince the scientific community that homeopathy works, through demonstrations and
scientifically acceptable clinical studies. 2. Convince them the importance of differentiating objective
observational part of homeopathy from the unscientific theoretical or explanatory part of
homeopathy. 3. Propose a scientifically viable working hypothesis regarding how homeopathy
works, in a way fitting to the existing scientific knowledge system. 4. Prove the propositions of this
hypothesis using scientific methods, in a way undisputable to the scientific community. While
addressing this four-pointed fundamental tasks, scientific homeopathy will have to relentlessly fight
against the negative-minded skeptics as well as pseudo-scientific energy medicine theoreticians of
homeopathy. We have to consistently tell the world, real homeopathy is entirely different from those
nonsense the pseudoscientific homeopathic theoreticians preach and practice. We have to
understand and tell the homeopathic community that the negative-minded anti-homeopathic
skeptics are entirely different from real scientific community.

Why Scientists Say Homeopathy is Unscientific?
Science demands proving everything according to scientific methods. Homeopathy is so far not
proved by scientific methods, and as such, scientific community has every right to say homeopathy
is not a science, but a belief system.It is our duty to prove that they are wrong. Homeopathic
theoreticians till date try to explain the ‘modus operandi’ of potentized homeopathic medicines using
one or other hypotheses available or evolved by them, which do not agree with existing scientific
knowledge system, and as such, homeopathy still belongs to a class of scientifically ‘unexplained
experience’’.The sad thing we should never forget is that we have not yet evolved even a
scientifically viable working hypothesis regarding homeopathy. By the term ‘hypothesis’ we mean a
‘proposed explanation’ or “educated guess” for a phenomenon that we observe around us. Every
‘proposed explanation’ cannot be considered a ‘scientific hypothesis’. To be a ‘scientific hypothesis’,
the scientific method requires that one can test the hypothesis using available scientific tools and
methodology. Every new scientific hypotheses are generally based on previous observations that
could not be satisfactorily be explained with the existing scientific theories. The words “hypothesis”
and “theory” are often used synonymously in common and informal usage, even though a
‘scientific hypothesis’ is not exactly the same as ‘a scientific theory’. A hypothesis should be proved
‘using scientific tools’ in order to become a scientific theory. A ‘working hypothesis’ is a provisionally
accepted hypothesis that is ready to be proved. Experimenters will have to test and reject several
hypotheses before solving the given problem ultimately.

Impact Of UK Select Committee Report 2010
In early 2010, the UK's Parliamentary Science and Technology Select Committee published a report
into homeopathy and whether it should be funded by the government as part of the National Health
Service. Actually, the report submitted by the committee is the basis of all subsequent state-initiated
anti-homeopathic measures in various countries around the world. The report was concluded with a
recommendation to the government that “government should not endorse the use of placebo
treatments, including homeopathy. Homeopathy should not be funded on the NHS and the MHRA
should stop licensing homeopathic products. The report also warned the government that there is a
“risk of endorsing homeopathy as an efficacious system of medicine", if the government decides to
“provide homeopathy on the NHS”, and allow MHRA licensing of homeopathic products products”.
After defining what is homeopathy, the committee went on identify “TWO main "concerns" involved
in evaluating homeopathy: ”There appear to be two main concerns. The first is the principle of like-
cures-like and the second is about how ultra-dilutions could retain characteristics of the active
ingredient".
These “two main concerns” where critically addressed by the committee, leading to the conclusion:
“We conclude that the principle of like-cures-like is theoretically weak. It fails to provide a credible
physiological mode of action for homeopathic products. We note that this is the settled view of
medical science”. The committee consider “the principle of like-cures-like is theoretically weak”.
Reason? It fails to provide a “credible physiological mode of action” for homeopathic drugs.

Australian NHMRCReport 2016
NHMRC concludes: “Based on the overall findings of the assessment of the evidences of
effectiveness of homeopathy, NHMRC has reached the following final conclusions: There is no
reliable evidence from research in humans that homeopathy is effective for treating the range of
health conditions considered. There were no health conditions for which there was reliable evidence
that homeopathy was effective. Homeopathy should not be used to treat health conditions that are
chronic, serious, or could become serious. People who choose homeopathy may put their health at
risk if they reject or delay treatments for which there is good evidence for safety and effectiveness.
People who are considering whether to use homeopathy should first get advice from a registered
health practitioner. Those who use homeopathy should tell their health practitioner, and should keep
taking any prescribed treatments. For some health conditions, studies reported that homeopathy
was not more effective than placebo. For other health conditions, some studies reported that
homeopathy was more effective than placebo, or as effective as another treatment, but those
studies were not reliable. To be confident that the reported health benefits of homeopathy were not
just due to chance or the placebo effect, they would need to be confirmed by other well-designed
studies with an adequate number of participants. For the remaining health conditions it was not
possible to make any conclusion about whether homeopathy was effective or not, because there
was not enough evidence.”

Damages Caused by Energy Medicine Theories
Actually, ‘energy medicine’, energy therapy or energy healing is a branch of complementary and
alternative medicine basically distinct from homeopathy. It is based on the belief that a healer is
able to channel healing energy into the person seeking help by different methods: hands-on, hands-
off, and distant (or absent) where the patient and healer are in different locations. There are various
schools of energy healing. It is known as biofield energy healing,spiritual healing, contact healing,
distant healing, therapeutic touch, Reiki or Qigong. Spiritual healing is largely non-denominational
and traditional religious faith is not seen as a aterialite for effecting a cure. Faith healing, by
contrast, takes place within a religious context. Homeopathy is essentially a form of ‘drug therapy’.
It has nothing to do with ‘energy medicine’. Homeopathy should be understood, explained and
practiced as a scientific medicine.‘Homeopathy is energy medicine’- this theory is intentionally
propagated world over by proponents of diverse colors of occult and pseudo-scientific practices
destroying the scientific credentials of homeopathy. They spin fanciful theories about homeopathy
using ‘vibration theory’, ‘bio-magnetism’,’wave theory’, ‘electro-magnetic radiations’, ‘frequencies’,
‘resonance theory’, ‘piezo-electricity’ and various other absurd theories, pretending themselves to
be ‘ultra-scientific’. These people are gravely alienating homeopathy from mainstream scientific
knowledge system.

Damages Caused By Blind Beliefs
Most homeopaths are ‘believers’. For them, homeopathy is a sacred ‘belief system’.
They ‘believe’ that ‘homeopathy is ultimate science’ and ‘our master’ is ‘greatest scientist
of all times’. They ‘believe’ in master, ‘believe’ in organon’, ‘believe’ in ‘similia similibus
curentur’, ‘believe’ in ‘vital force’, ‘believe’ in ‘dynamic drug energy’, ‘believe’ in ‘miasms’,
‘believe’ in ‘immutable fundamental principles’, ‘believe in ‘single drug-single dose’,
‘believe’ in ‘hering laws’, ‘believe’ in ‘drug relationships’, ‘believe’ in ‘words of stalwarts’,
‘believe’ in ‘teachers’ and ‘gurus’. This list of ‘homeopathic beliefs’ is fascinating as well
as unending. They ask me: “do you believe in homeopathy?” They hesitate to
accommodate new knowledge. They never ask ‘why-what-how’ about their beliefs. They
would never tolerate anybody asking such hard questions. Without displacing our deep-
rooted ‘blind beliefs’ with ‘scientific knowledge’, we cannot hope homeopathy to become
a scientific medical system. Study, research, experiment, learn, know and apply- that is
the way of science. Not blind believing and following.

Why should Homeopaths Challenge Avogadro?
In chemistry and physics, the Avogadro constant is defined as the ratio of the number of constituent
particles (usually atoms or molecules) in a sample to the amount of substance n (unit mole) . Thus,
it is the proportionality factor that relates the molar mass of an entity, i.e., the mass per amount of
substance, to the mass of said entity. The Avogadro constant expresses the number of elementary
entities per mole of substance and it has the value 6.02214129(27)×10^23 mol. Changes in the SI
units are proposed that will change Avogadro’s constant to to exactly 6.02214X×10^23 when it is
expressed in the unit mol. Avogadro number is used to calculate the number of molecules or atoms
in a given quantity of any substance. It is defined that 1 gram mol of any substance will contain
6.022x10^23 numbers of its molecules. 1 gram mol is the molecular mass of a substance
expressed in grams. Since molecular mass of hydrogen is 2, 2 grams of hydrogen constitutes 1
gram mol of hydrogen, and it will contrain 6.022x10^23 number of hydrogen nolecules. Molecular
mass of oxygen is 32, and hence 32 gms of oxygen will contain 6.022x10^23 oxygen molecules.
Molecular mass of water is 18, and hence 18 gms of water will contain 6.022x10^23 h2o molecules.
Molecular mass of carbon is 12, and hence 12 gms of carbon will contain 6.022x10^23 carbon
molecules. In other words, 2 gms of hydrogen, 32 gms of oxygen, 18 gms of water and 12 gams of
carbon will contain EQUAL NUMBER of molecules, which is a fixed number 6.022x10^23.

Vital Force Theory- The Greatest Stumbling Block
The concept of ‘vital force’, on which the whole philosophical system of homeopathy is built up
on, stands as a formidable stumbling block in its way of harmony with modern science and its
methodology. The theoretical basis of Hahnemannian homeopathy is based on the some
what spiritual concept that there is an abstract ‘vital force’ alien to the physical body, existing as a
part of ‘universal force’ which enters the body and possesses to enliven it, and leaves it with the
advent of death. Homeopaths perceive diseases as disordered states of this ‘vital force’, and
believe that it is only on the level of this ‘vital force’ that the cure of diseases might take place. From
the very onset, we have to adopt following fundamental factors as the basis of our intellectual
inquiry: 1. ‘Vital force’ exists only through ‘vital processes’, which are complex chains of molecular
level biochemical interactions purely material in nature. 2. A state of pathology is created by some
or other deviations happening in these biochemical processes due to molecular errors of pure
material nature. 3. Therapeutics is possible only through materialistic intervention in these
biochemical processes. 4. Medicines are the material means for such an intervention. 5. It is due to
the peculiar material properties of medicines that they are able to intervene in biochemical
processes. Therapeutics is a totally materialistic activity. If we do not agree upon at least this much
of fundamental propositions, no meaningful discussion will be possible regarding scientific
understanding homeopathy.

Damages Caused By Dynamism
According to 'classical' homeopathy, potentization is a process by which some mysterious 'dynamic
energy' is transferred from drug substance into the vehicle. They believe that due to the 'dynamic
drug energy' they carry, potentized drugs act upon the 'vital force', which is also 'dynamic'. As per
this 'spiritualistic' view, it is not possible to explain potentization as well as homeopathic cure in
terms of 'materialistic' science. Did you ever try to know what is exactly meant by ‘dynamic’? This
word comes from the metaphysical concept of ‘dynamism’. According to ‘dynamic’ view, interaction
between elements takes place without contact, through modes or even harmonics of motion,
yielding all phenomena in the Universe. Hahnemann’s explanations of homeopathy were obviously
influenced by the philosophy of ‘dynamism’. Modern proponents of ‘energy medicine’ theories also
explain homeopathy on the basis of concepts of ‘dynamism’. ‘Forces’ existing free from matter, and
‘matter acting at distances without any material contact or interaction’ is an idea very dear to all
practitioners of occult healing arts. The idea of a ‘medicinal force’ that can be ‘freed’ from drug
substance, and ‘transferred’ to water of sugar of milk, that can act on organism in ‘dynamic way’- all
these come from ‘dynamism’. Without freeing homeopathy from the influence of ‘dynamism’, we
cannot hope it to be accepted as a scientific medical system. The concept of ‘force’ used by
dynamic philosophy is entirely different from the concept of ‘force’ used in modern science.
'Dynamic' approach in homeopathy reflects a state of gross scientific ignorance. A total
lack of modern scientific understanding of physiology, pathology and therapeutics. Such an
unscientific approach could be propagated in this scientific era, only by our ‘classical homeopaths’

Ones Emerge, As Our Knowledge Advances
Once we acquire scientific knowledge regarding the exact processes involved in
potentization, active principles of potentized drugs and the molecular mechanism of their
therapeutic action, all the existing 'methods', 'laws', 'rules' and 'principles' are bound to
change. New 'principles' and 'methods‘ will evolve. 'Likes cures likes' and 'high dilution
effects' represent the objective part of homepathy, which are concerned with truthful
observations of natural phenomena involved in the process of 'cure'. This is the strong
and rational aspect of homeopathy that have to be preserved, explored and advanced
into more and more perfection. The theoretical explanatory part of homeopathy, which is
based on totally unscientific and irrational philosophy of 'dynamism' and 'vitalism' of
eighteenth century europe, as well as the 'rules', 'laws' and 'methods' formulated
accordingly, is the real stumbling block that prevents this wonderful therapeutic art from
advancing into a scientific medical system. We have to preserve and strengthen the
rational objective aspect of homeopathy, and explain it in terms of modern scientific
knowledge. We should show the audacity to discard its irrational and unscientific

Life Is A Complex Chemical System
A ‘living organism’ is a highly organized complex material system with a specific quantity, quality,
structure and functions of its own, which is capable of self-controlled growth and reproduction of its
progeny, through an interaction involving constant exchange of matter and energy with its
environment. The phenomenon we call ‘life’ exists through a continuous chain of highly complex
biochemical interactions which control each other, depend up on each other and are determined by
each other. A ‘living organism’ represents a much higher and advanced level of organized existence
of the same elements of matter we meet in the inorganic world, different only in its structural
organization and functional complexity. In fact, ‘life’ is the result of a continuous evolutionary
process of primary matter in this universe through millions of years, attaining different levels of
organizational and functional forms. Primary forces, sub-atomic particles, elementary atoms, simple
chemical molecules, complex inorganic molecules, carbon containing organic molecules, bio-
molecules, complex bio-polymers, RNA-DNA-Protein structures, organelles, unicellular organisms,
multi-cellular organisms, diverse species of plants and animals, and ultimately Homo Sapiens-
these are the prominent milestones in the known evolutionary ladder on earth, panning through
millions and millions of years. Human beings represent the highest form of this material
evolutionary history on earth, as far as it is known to us.

Proteins- Molecular Carriers Of Life
Proteins are a class of highly complex nitrogen-containing bio-molecules, functioning as the primary
carriers of all the biochemical processes underlying the phenomenon of life. There exist millions of
protein molecules belonging to thousands of protein types in a living organism. Various proteins
play different types of roles, such as biological catalysts or enzymes, receptors, transport
molecules, hormones, antibodies etc. Some proteins function as specialized molecular switches,
systematically switching on and off of specific biochemical pathways. The most important factor we
have to understand while discussing proteins is the role of their three-dimensional spacial
organization evolving from peculiar disulphide bonds and hydrogen bonds. Whenever any kind of
error occurs in the particular three-dimensional structure of a given protein molecule, it obviously
fails to interact with other biomolecules to accomplish the specific functions it is intended to play in
the concerned biochemical processes. Such a failure leads to further harmful deviations in several
biochemical processes in the organism, that require the participation of this particular protein,
ultimately resulting in a cascading of multitude of molecular errors. This is the fundamental
molecular mechanism of pathology, which we perceive as disease of some or other category.
These deviations in biochemical pathways are expressed as various groups of subjective and
objective symptoms of disease.

Genetics & Dynamics Of Genetic Expressions
Different types of proteins are synthesized according to the requirements from the building blocks
known as amino acids, utilizing the genetic blueprint preserved in the DNA. ‘Genotype’ of an
organism is the inherited instructions it carries within its genetic code. Gene expression is the
process by which information from a gene is used in the synthesis of a functional gene product.
These products are often proteins, but in non-protein coding genes such as ribosomal RNA (rRNA),
transfer RNA (tRNA) or Small nuclear RNA (snRNA) genes, the product is a functional RNA. The
process of gene expression is used by all known life to generate the macromolecular machinery for
life. Several steps in the gene expression process may be modulated, including the transcription,
RNA splicing, translation, and post-translational modification of a protein. Gene regulation gives the
cell control over structure and function, and is the basis for cellular differentiation, morphogenesis
and the versatility and adaptability of any organism. Gene regulation may also serve as a substrate
for evolutionary change, since control of the timing, location, and amount of gene expression can
have a profound effect on the functions (actions) of the gene in a cell or in a multicellular organism.
Factors, such as such as miasmatic, environmental, nutritional, occupational, infectious, emotional,
ontogenic, metabolic and xenobiotic influence the process of ‘gene regulation’ at various stages of
‘gene expression’, through which the particular ‘phenotype’ or ‘constitution’ of the individual
organism is determined. As such, ‘constitution’ of an individual is the ‘phenotype’ determined by the
‘protein constitution’ developing through ‘genetic expression’’. Constitution’ is expressed in the form
of totality of general physical symptoms, morphology, mental symptoms and behavioral

Epigenetics
Epigenetics involves the study of CHANGES in GENETIC SUBSTANCE happening without any
change in DNA sequence. These changes are caused through DNA METHYLATION and HISTONE
MODIFICATION. They are normal processes that facilitates GENETIC EXPRESSION. Some
endogenous factors can influence the METHYL TRANSFERASE enzymes involved in this process,
there by producing ABNORMAL methylation of certain particular genes resulting in their silencing or
over activation. These ABNORMAL epigenetic changes play a role in cancers, and many
psychological problems. NEUROCHEMICALS generated as part of emotional processes also can
affect the ENZYMES involved in methylation of DNA and cause errors in genetic expressions. That
is the way EMOTIONS cause various disease conditions.When epigenetic changes happen in
SPERMS or OVUM, such changes will be inherited to the next generation. EPIGENETIC processes
play a big role in DISEASES that are not GENETIC, but related with errors in GENETIC
EXPRESSION. Epigenetics can explain why persons of similar genetic inheritance behave
differently, or get diseases differently. EPIGENETICS will help us in understanding the
BIOCHEMISTRY of PSYCHOSOMATIC DISEASES, and also how the EMOTIONAL
DISTURBANCES happened in parents affect the offsprings. NEUROCHEMICALS generated
as part of emotional processes also can affect the ENZYMES involved in methylation of
DNA and cause errors in genetic expressions. That is the way EMOTIONS cause
various disease conditions. When epigenetic changes happen in SPERMS or OVUM,
such changes will be inherited to the next generation.

Molecular Dynamics Of Disease
Disease is a state of derangement in biochemical interactions so as to disrupt the
normal pathways of vital processes of the organism. Almost all conditions of pathology
we normally confront, including those resulting from genetic origin, are involved with
some or other errors or absence of some protein molecules that are essential for
concerned biochemical processes. Moreover, most of such molecular errors other than
of nutritional deficiencies or genetic origin, arise due to binding of some exogenous or
endogenous foreign molecules or ions on the active, binding or allosteric sites of protein
molecules, effecting changes in their three-dimensional conformations. A host of
diseases originating from viral-bacterial infections, allergies, poisoning, drugs, food
articles etc, belong to this category. Chronic diseases caused by antibodies, which are
considered in homeopathy as miasmatic diseases and modern medicine as auto-
immune diseases, also belong to this class. Diseases caused by emotional factors,
hormones, neuro-mediators, neurotransmitters, cytokines, growth factors, super-oxides,
enzymes and various biological molecules also include in this group.

Key-Lock Mechanism Of Bio-molecular Interactions
On the surface of any bio-molecules belonging to protein category, with their characteristic three
dimensional organization, there will be different functional groups suitable for engaging in various
types of biochemical bonds. These functional groups belong mainly to two categories. Certain
functional groups play a role in establishing contacts between molecules, and are called ‘binding
groups’. Functional groups performing real chemical processes are known as ‘active groups’.
Different types of binding sites and active sites exist on the same complex bio-molecule. We can
compare these binding sites and the active sites of bio-molecules to the three dimensional key-
holes of ordinary mechanical locks, and their ligands to ‘keys’. A key will be suitable only to the
particular complimenting key- hole with exact three dimensional structure that fits to the shape of
the key. In the same manner, various molecules engaged in biochemical processes identifies and
interacts with their ligands with the help of peculiarities of their spacial configurations. A different
key, with a three dimensional structure only partially similar to that of the original key, may partially
enter in the key-hole, but it fails to open the lock, and results in mechanically obstructing the key-
hole. Molecular mechanism underlying a disease process may be broadly compared to such an
obstruction and inhibition of molecular locks by binding of some foreign molecules, partially similar
to but different from original ones mimicking as the real ligands. Due to such an inhibition, the
particular bio-molecule becomes incapable of interacting with its real molecular keys or ligands,
thereby hindering the concerned normal biochemical process. This situation amounts to a
pathology at molecular level.

Symptoms- Expressions Of Errors In Vital Processes
Symptoms are the subjective and objective expressions of errors in molecular processes happening
in a living system. Homeopathy considers “totality of symptoms” as the only clue to the
understanding of molecular level pathology, as well as deciding the appropriate therapeutic tools to
rectify that molecular errors. The subjective and objective symptoms presented by the organism are
the only reliable indicators to help us correctly understand the minute molecular deviations
underlying a state of pathology. Each group or train of symptoms represent a specific molecular
error that had occurred in a particular biochemical pathway. These symptoms invariably indicates
the specific type and character of the endogenic or exogenic foreign molecules or ions responsible
for the particular molecular inhibition. By studying the train of symptoms carefully and
systematically, homoeopaths are really observing these exact molecular inhibitions. This
symptomatology-based analytical method of homoeopathy is far more exact and superior to the
multitude of expensive complex laboratory chemical tests and imaging technologies we consider to
be scientific. Identifying the exact molecular errors in the organism of the patient by observing the
expressed symptoms, and identifying the most appropriate therapeutic agents from the similarity of
symptoms the drugs could produce in healthy organism- this is the scientific essence of “similia
similibus curentur”. “Similia similibus curentur” is a highly scientific principle of therapeutics,
deserving to be greatly honored by modern science at least in coming days.

EDEFINING FUNDAMENTALS
Drugs
Drugs are substances containing chemical molecules that can act upon pathogenic
molecules or biological target molecules and modify them. Drugs may be mineral,
vegetable, animal or synthetic origin. Constituent chemical molecules of a drug
substance interact with our body by binding their diverse types of ‘functional groups’ or
‘moieties’ with specific biological target molecules in our organism and modifying their
actions. This interaction is determined by conformational as well as charge affinities
between those functional groups and biological target molecules. It is the number of
types of biologically active ‘functional groups’ or ‘moieties’ available in a drug substance
that decides whether it is a ‘single’ drug or ‘multiple’ drug. Different types of ‘functional
groups’ of individual molecules contained in a drug substance bind to different biological
target molecules, and produce different types of modifications. It is this ‘modifying’ or
‘inhibitory’ actions that produce molecular states of pathologies during drug proving,
which are expressed through diverse types of subjective and objective symptoms.
Molecular Medicine studies drug substances in terms of their molecular level structure
and organization, and is more and more relying upon target-specific Designer Drugs
synthesized by drug designing technology, supported by computer aided designing
protocols. According to MIT view, drugs are of two classes- molecular drugs and

The phenomena we call MIND never exist in the absence of a MATERIAL BODY, and a highly
complex central nervous system being part of that body. MIND does not exist free from the complex
biochemical molecular level interactions in the central nervous system, which actually represents
the highest stage of MATERIAL EVOLUTION on earth. MIND can be influenced by material
substances such as drugs, which can modify the biochemical processes in brain.Any mental activity
is related with production, transportation and interactions of some CHEMICAL molecules in the
body,that can influence the whole physiological processes in the organism. SENSATIONS,
EMOTIONS, COGNITION, MEDITATION, LEARNING, MEMORY, THOUGHTS,
CONSCIOUSNESS, MOODS, FEELINGS, DREAMS- every phenomena we associate with MIND
happen through BIOCHEMICAL PROCESSES in our nervous system. Some specific chemical
molecules are produced as part of those processes. Diverse factors can influence these complex
molecular biological processes in central nervous system, that we call psychological. They belong
to two classes- exogenous and endogenous. Endogenous factors include various hormones,
neurochemicals, neurotransmitters, metabolic byproducts, disease products, etc produced inside
the body and act upon central nervous system. Exogenous factors include, various chemical
molecules entering the body through food, medicines, drugs, radiations, as well as various sensory
signalsfrom the environment.

Molecular Imprinted Polymers
'Molecular Imprinted Polymers' is an emerging branch of modern 'nanotechnology'. It is the
preparation of of artificial binding sites in polymer matrix utilizing 'guest-host' molecular
relationships. Knowing the principles and methods of this scientific technology is essential to follow
‘MIT' and its explanations of 'potentization' and 'similia similibus curentur'. ‘Molecular imprinting in
polymers’ is a fast growing research area that may be interesting to people engaged in developing
“drug designing” techniques. A lot of research is currently going on over this subject the world over.
This technolog...y involves the imprinting of synthetic polymer substances using enzymes or such
macromolecules as ‘guest’ molecules. As a result of imprinting, nano cavities with 3-d spacial
configurations complementary to the ‘guest’ molecules will be ‘engraved’ in the interaction surfaces
of the polymer matrix 'hosts'. These imprinted polymers, by virtue of the nanocavities they contain
can be used to bind molecules with configurational similarity to ‘guest’ molecules. They are at
present widely used in various laboratory assays as powerful adsorption surfaces and molecular
sensors. MIPs are also found to be of much practical use in various areas of science and
technology. Molecular imprinted polymers of today cannot be used as therapeutic agents, since
they are totally foreign substances to the organism. More over, native enzymes can not degrade the
polymers even if they can play a therapeutic role in the organism.

Supra-molecular Chemistry Of Water
Water is a solvent with higher polarity than similar liquids. H–O–H have bond angle of
105 degrees. That means, water molecule is a dipole. Because of this peculiarity, water
molecules can exist like a super-molecular network by forming hydrogen bonds between
themselves. A minimum number of five water molecules will be contained in this
network. Such five-molecule formations are called ‘pentamers’. Most of the wonderful
properties of water arise from this capacity of peculiar hydrogen bonding and supra-
molecular formations.
Water molecules are normally considered to be in a state of random movement in their
liquid form. But recent studies have shown that water molecules move not as individual
molecules, but as supramolecular clusters. We all know that water exists as ice crystals
in its solid form. But it has been recently observed that in its short range structure, water
exist as nanocrystals even in its liquid form. We know, water formed by melting of ice
behaves exactly as if in a state of liquid crystals. The lattice structure which is formed
through hydration bonds is responsible for this phenomenon.

INTRODUCTION TO MIT CONCEPTS
Hydrogen Bonding
Essentially, ‘hydrogen bonding’ is a special type of dipole force. It is a force of attraction formed
between partially charged atoms being part of different molecules. The reason for this bonding is
the partial positive charge attained by hydrogen. Hydrogen is capable of establishing similar bonds
with the atoms of nitrogen, fluorine and oxygen. That is to say that the basis of hydrogen bonding is
the attraction between one hydrogen atom which is part of a molecule which is attached to oxygen
or nitrogen and oxygen or nitrogen which remains part of another molecule. This force is less
powerful than the covalent bonds which keeps the atoms inside molecule bound together. But it
may be strange that these less powerful bonds are responsible for the wonderful physico–chemical
properties and biological relevance of water. In the ordinary liquid state, in spite of 80% of the
electrons being engaged in bonding, the three atoms in water do not stay together, as the hydrogen
atoms are constantly exchanged between water molecules due to protonation/deprotonation
processes. Both acids and bases catalyze this exchange and even when at its slowest(at pH 7), the
average time for the atoms in an H2O molecule to stay together is only about a millisecond. As this
brief period is, however, much longer than the timescales encountered during investigations into
water’s hydrogen bonding or hydration properties, water is usually treated as a permanent
structure. But when water exist in its crystalline form, hydrogen atoms become more stable.

Supramolecular Properties of Ethanol
The presence of ethyl alcohol in water is considered as a factor reducing the rate of
protonation/deprotonation processes, thereby enhancing the stability of hydration shells.
Importance of using water-ethanol mixture for homeopathic potentization is self-explained. (CH3–
CH2 – OH ). The molecules of alcohol also have the dipole structure as water molecules. It is
possible for them to establish mutual connection through hydrogen bonding. The molecular weight
of alcohol molecule is 46. The molecular weight ofwater(H2O) is 18. That means that the number of
water molecules contained in 18 gram of water and the number of alcohol molecules contained in
46 gram of ethyl alcohol are equal. When alcohol and water are thoroughly mixed alcohol
molecules forms a network with water molecules through hydrogen bonds,The mobility of water
molecules is restricted by the bonds established with alcohol molecules. Hence, hydration shells
formed in alcohol–water mixture are comparatively more stable. The count of alcohol molecules
and the count of water molecules contained in their mixture in 73:27 ratio will be equal. (73% w/w.
alcohol and 27% w/w water). Medium used for homoeopathic potentization is a mixture containing
87% w/w of alcohol and 13% w/w of water. In this ratio, the number of alcohol molecules will be
about more than that of of water molecules. Rectified spirit is an azeotrope containing 95% alcohol
and 5%water. Such a ratio will be very suitable for the production of stable hydration shells.

INTRODUCTION TO MIT CONCEPTS
What Happens During Potentization?
Evidently, potentization has two distinct phases, providing totally different outputs. Phase 1: First
stage of potentization involves division of complex drug molecules into simpler constituents. When
a medicinal substance is subjected to homeopathic potentization, if it is not soluble in water or
alcohol, it is first mixed with sugar of milk and subjected to repeated trituration. During the initial
stages of this process individual molecules contained in the medicinal substance are liberated from
their inter-molecular bonds, or ionized. Crude drug substance undergoes this division into individual
molecules and ions, due to the mechanism of violent trituration and shaking. Inter-molecular bonds
are broken, and the constituent molecules and ions are liberated. As a result, these ions and
molecules become more virulent, capable of exhibiting their interaction potentials to their full extent,
and become ready to undergo hydration in water-alcohol medium. Since the individual properties of
drug molecules come out in their totality, it is observed that even seemingly inert substances
become powerful drugs due to the division during first phase of potentization. Insoluble substances
thus become soluble in water. Phase II: Second stage of potentization involves actual hydration
and molecular imprinting of individual drug molecules and ions. This phase may be called
‘imprinting phase’. Molecules, ions and colloidal particles, liberated through the first phase
undergoes process of hydration and molecular imprinting in water- ethyl alcohol mixture during
second phase. Each individual molecule or ion is naturally subjected to hydration and molecular
imprinting, independently of others. Individual drug molecules act as ‘guest’ molecules in this
imprinting process.

INTRODUCTION TO MIT CONCEPTS
Succussion And Cavitation
For preparing molecular imprints, we have to remove the drug molecules lying entrapped in the
medium as ‘guest-host complexes’, and make the hydration shells empty. Succussion or violent
shaking plays its role at this stage. Our scientific study regarding the role of ‘succussion’ or violent
shaking of drug solutions in the process potentization should begin with a deep study of
hydrodynamics of the phenomenon known as cavitation. Cavitation is the formation of bubble-like
gaps in a liquid. Mechanical forces, such as the moving blades of a ship’s propeller or sudden
negative changes in pressure, can cause cavitation. Violent shaking of fluids may cause cavitation.
Skimming or separating butter from milk by violent agitation is an example of practical utilization of
cavitation. Cavitation happening in solutions of very low dilutions due to violent shaking done during
homeopathic potentization will result in formation of nanobubbles. Due to hydrodynamic forces,
drug molecules entrapped in the hydration shells of of water-alcohol medium will be adsorbed into
the microfilms of nanobubbles. When the shaking is stopped and solution put to rest, these
nanobubbles, along with the drug molecules adsorbed into it, will rise to the top layer of the
solution. It will result in the removal of drug molecules from ‘host-guest’ complexes, leaving the free
hydration shells as ‘molecular imprints’ in the lower layers of the solution. By this process, drug
molecules begin to concentrate in top layers, and the number of drug molecules gradually
decreases in the lower layers of the solution. The upper layer that contains the remaining drug
molecules are transferred to next bottle for making next higher potencies, and will be utilized for
molecular imprinting the next bottle. As the serial dilution goes higher to approach Avogadro limit,
lower layers will become completely free of drug molecules,

INTRODUCTION TO MIT CONCEPTS
MIT Explanation Of Concept Of Similimum
The concept of ‘similimum’ can now be investigated here with a new scientific perspective. We have
seen during our earlier discussions, how the individual constituent molecules of a drug substance
introduced into the organism during drug proving creates molecular blocks, leading to inhibitions of
certain bio-chemic pathways, expressed by a specific train of subjective and objective symptoms.
These symptoms are called ‘drug symptoms’, and compiled in the materia medica of that particular
drug substance. When similar train of symptoms appears in an organism during a disease
condition, it means that, the pathological foreign molecules responsible for the disease has been
attacking same biological molecules, causing similar molecular blocks and bio-chemic inhibitions,
expressing similar subjective and objective symptoms. The fact that both drug molecules and
pathologic molecules could attack same biological molecules in an identical way, shows that the
drug molecules and pathologic molecules were having some factors(chemical groups) with similar
spacial conformations. Due to such a conformational similarity to the pathological molecules, the
‘molecular imprints’ of drug molecules contained in the potentized preparations will be having a
counteractive affinity towards the pathologic molecules. Due to the configurational affinity, these
molecular imprints or ‘MIALBS’ can selectively bind to the active groups of pathologic molecules,
when coming in their vicinity. This is the exact molecular kinetics of homeopathic therapeutics,
underlying the concept of SIMILIMUM and fundamental principle of ‘similia similibus curentur’.

Biological Mechanism Of Similia Similibus Curentur
Molecular imprints contained in Potentized homeopathic medicines, when introduced
into the organism by any route, is carried by the body fluids, and transported to different
parts of body by internal transport system. When the nanocavities of ‘molecular imprints’
contained these preparations come in the vicinity of active groups of pathological foreign
molecules, having similarity to the original ‘guest’ molecules used for imprinting, these
‘molecular imprints’ selectively bind to the pathological molecules due to conformational
affinity. By this process, pathological foreign molecules are prevented from binding to
biological molecules, thereby relieving the biological molecules from pathological
molecular blocks. This can be conceived as some sort of ‘molecular scavenging’ or
‘entrapping’ of pathological molecules, by ‘MIALBS’ or molecular imprints contained in
the potentized medicines.

Following observations justify the concept of MIT:

principle 'similia similibus curentur'. 2. High dilution drugs works not only in living
bodies, but also up on ‘in vitro’ biological samples and molecules. 3. High dilution drugs
cannot interfere or prevent the normal interactions between biological molecules and
their natural ligands. 4. High dilution drugs can antidote the biological effects of same
drugs used in crude or molecular forms. 5. Biological properties of high dilution drugs
are directly opposite to those of same drugs in molecular forms. 6. High dilution drugs do
not contain original drug molecules. 7. High dilution drugs and unpotentized water-
alcohol mixture are similar in their chemical structure and properties. 8. High dilution
drugs differ from unpotentized water-alcohol mixture regarding physical properties and
various physical parameters. 9. High dilution drugs differ from unpotentized water-
alcohol mixture regarding supra-molecular arrangements by formation of nano-clusters
as has been reported to have observed by researchers in spectroscopic studies. 10.
Medicinal properties of high dilution drugs could be destroyed by applying strong heat,
electric currents or other forms of electromagnetic energy.

seen two homeopaths agreeing up on ‘miasmatic analysis’ of same case, same
symptom or same medicine. Everybody talk differently. Once a case is presented
to them, they cannot avoid 'miasmatic analysis' of patients, drug substances or
diseases. Instead of discussing symptoms and similimum, they would go on
talking about miasms. It is funny to note that each ‘miasmatic expert’ would say
there is no confusions if you understand it correctly. Then he would give his
theories and ‘miasmatic analysis’. Then the next expert comes, and gives his
theory and analysis, diametrically opposite to the earlier. He also says there is no
confusions if you understand him correctly. I have never seen two ‘miasmatic

quite correct, into the true nature of the thousands of chronic diseases which still
remain uncured, despite the incontestable truth of the Homoeopathic Law of Cure,

itch disease’, kindly read this part from ‘Chronic Diseases’-Para 37: “Psora (itch
disease), like syphilis, is a miasmatic chronic disease, and its original development
is similar. The itch disease is, however, also the most contagious of all chronic
miasmata, far more infectious than the other two chronic miasmata, the venereal
chancre disease and the figwart disease”. “But the miasma of the itch needs only
to touch the general skin, especially with tender children”.

It would be more logical and scientific if we understand ‘constitution’ in terms of

‘genotype’ is the ‘genetic substance or ‘DNA’ inherited by the organism from its
previous generation. It is called the ‘genetic blue print’. The ‘genotype’ contained
the organism gives rise to individual ‘phenotypes through ‘gene expressions’. The
‘genetic code’ stored in DNA is interpreted by ‘gene expression’, and the
properties of these expressions five rise to the ‘phenotype’ of the organism. A
‘phenotype’ is the observable characteristics or traits of an organism, such as
morphology, development, biological and physiological properties, behavior, and
products of behavior. ‘Phenotype’ is the result of ‘gene expressions’, which is
decided by the interaction between genetic substance and environmental factors.

When physician tries to resolve only the most troublesome and immediate

it is an ACUTE approach. When he tries to resolve the same case with full regard
to its CONSTITUTIONAL as well as PARTICULAR aspects, it is a CHRONIC

nosodes prepared from disease products are ‘molecular imprints’ in water-alcohol medium
that can act inside the organism in a similar way as ANTIBODIES do. They can act as
PROPHYLACTICS by binding to the invading pathogenic molecules and preventing them
from attacking biological molecules. Vaccines are disease products that can induce the
organism to produce antibodies. Exactly, antibodies are ‘molecular imprinted’ native proteins,
especially globulins. Since antibodies are ‘molecular imprinted proteins’, the can remain in
the system very long periods, and attack the surface proteins of invading microorganisms
having configurational complementary relationship. That way, vaccines builds up immunity
against specific diseases. Same time, these antibodies can cause various off-target
molecular blocks, that my result in various pathological deviations known as ‘side effects’.
That means, antibodies can PRODUCE chronic ‘miasms’ also.

not ‘exogenous proteins’? Actually, are the antibodies considered to be the
causative agents of ‘autoimmune diseases’ really formed against ‘host antigens’?
Or, are they ‘antibodies’ formed against ‘exogenous proteins’ attacking ‘off-target’
sites in the organism? According to MIT view, so called autoimmune diseases are
actually caused by ‘off-target’ inhibitions created by ‘antibodies’ formed against
‘exogenous antigens’. If we carefully study the modern hypotheses proposed by

such as prion diseases, Alzheimers, Parkinsons etc is a very difficult task even for
MODERN MEDICINE. These protein molecules do not undergo normal biological
degrading or destruction. Chemical drugs are no effective in most of such
diseases. Homeopathy can treat chronic diseases caused by DEFORMED
PROTEINS by a process of Molecular Capping, which involves deactivation of
functional groups of DEFORMED PROTEINS using molecular imprints of
causative antibodies, thereby making them incapable of binding to biological
molecules. It will prevent deformed proteins from inducing misfolding in other
similar proteins or forming supra-molecular complexes by combining themselves.

Potentized forms of those drugs will naturally contain molecular imprints of all those
constituent molecules. Molecular imprints cannot interact each other, even if they come
from ‘single’ drug or ‘different’ drugs. As such, there is no any harm in combining two or
more drugs, if they are used in potentized forms above 12c

Single Dose Or Frequent Repetitions?
Many Excellent Prescriptions Spoiled By Our Hesitation To Repeat Doses When
Necessary. Molecular Imprints are the active principles of potentized drugs. These
'molecular imprints' bind to the pathological molecules having 'complementary'
configuration, there by relieving biological molecules from pathological inhibitions and
effect Cure. Same time, these 'molecular imprints' could be anti-doted or deactivated by
molecules or ions having complementary configurations. That means, 'molecular
imprints' we introduced into the body get deactivated by pathological molecules or other
molecules having conformational affinity. Molecules and ions of vegetable alkaloids,
enzymes, food additives, environmental toxins, infectious agents, bacterial-viral toxins
and a host of other agents may antidote these 'molecular imprints'. Hence, it is
necessary to replenish the supply of 'molecular imprints' at frequent intervals to ensure a
complete cure.

Potentized drugs cannot have any kind of drug relationships in between them.
Molecular forms and molecular imprinted forms of same or similar drugs can
antidote each other. Molecular forms of different drugs will have chemical

Selection Of Potencies
Do not worry much about selection of potencies. Always use 12c-30c, until a
better and more accurate way of molecular imprinting is evolved. If your
prescription does not act properly or stop acting, and if you are sure you have
selected correct similimum, use same drug, same potency from another sample
obtained from another source. Collect maximum samples of 30c of same drug
from different sources and mix them for better therapeutic result. It would be an
eye opening experience, that would compel you to look into the whole 'potency
question' from a different angle

Mother Tinctures & Low Potencies
Using Mother Tinctures and Low Potencies(below 12c) Cannot be Considered
As Genuine Homeopathic Practice. Since crude drugs and mother tinctures
contain drug molecules that can act upon biological molecules, they can also
bind to various biological targets in the organism. Obviously, there is always
chance for creation of new molecular inhibitions and drug-induced pathologies
when we use crude drugs and mother tinctures. That is the draw back of using
mother tinctures even if they are similimum. We must not forget that the
symptomatologies provided in our materia medica give the list of symptoms
that can be generated in healthy persons by the use of these drugs in crude
form. Indiscriminate long-term use of mother tinctures containing plant
enzymes, poisonous alkaloids, glycosides and various other phytochemical
ingredients is an unpardonable crime even if it is done in the name of
homeopathy.

Complementary Prescriptions
Any individual will be having diverse types of ‘molecular errors’ in him, with diverse types
of pathological conditions, expressed through different groups of subjective and objective
symptoms. A drug that contains maximum types of ‘molecular imprints’ matching to
maximum types of molecular errors in the organism is considered to be ‘most appropriate
‘similimum. No drug would contain ‘all’ the molecular imprints required to rectify ‘all’ the
molecular errors existing in a given patient. Hence, any similimum we select would be
only a ‘partial’ similimum for the patient. Similimum we selected would remove only the
molecular errors matching to the molecular imprints contained in it, and hence, it would
offer only partial cure. For a ‘total’ cure, we will have to select additional drugs that would
contain molecular imprints matching to the remaining molecular errors, which could be
selected on the basis of symptoms that are not covered by the first similimum. There is
no need of any kind of restrictions for the number of ‘complementary prescriptions’. If the
first ‘complementary prescription’ is not enough to complete the cure, we can look for a
second ‘complementary prescription’ on the basis of remaining symptoms. We can
ensure ‘total cure’ for the patient through systematic application of this ‘complementary
prescription’ method. Whether the ‘complementary prescriptions’ are applied along with
or after the first prescription, could be decided by the physician according to his
perceptions

Homeopathic Aggravations
Once you understand Molecular Imprints Therapeutics, you will realize that there is no
chance of so-called aggravations, suppressions, provings or any other harm even if
‘wrong’ drug, ‘wrong’ potency or ‘untimely repetitions’ are used, if you are using only
‘molecular imprints’ forms of drugs. An individual will be having multitudes of ‘molecular
errors’ caused by binding of diverse types of pathogenic molecules on different biological
molecules. Each individual ‘molecular error’ may be expressed in the form of specific
subjective and objective ‘symptom complexes’. If we select a drug as a similimum on the
basis of some of the leading symptoms only, ignoring other symptoms, that similimum in
fact covers only some of the molecular errors. The ‘molecular imprints’ contained in that
similimum may remove those molecular errors only. But other molecular errors remain.
The ‘symptom complexes’ representing those remaining molecular errors would become
more expressive and come to the fore. In the absence of scientific understanding
regarding the molecular processes behind this phenomenon, we happen to interpret
these new expressions as ‘homeopathic aggravation’.

Fear of Suppressions
Fear of ‘suppression of disease’ that may happen from ‘improper’ use of
homeopathic drugs is the most prominent symptom of any ‘classical
homeopath’, which indicates severe deficiency of scientific knowledge
regarding the biochemistry of life, disease and cure. This ‘phobia’ is ‘inherited’
through generations of homeopaths, from ‘teachers’ to ‘students’, and ‘gurus’ to
‘disciples’. Modern ‘Gurus’ spin fanciful ‘theories of suppressions’, write and sell
heavy books on their ‘theories’, and fly around the globe to conduct ‘expensive’
seminars to ‘educate’ the homeopathic community for the sole purpose of
saving humanity from grave dangers imposed by homeopathic ‘suppressions’.

Hering’s Laws Of Directions of Cure
When we go deeper into the history of homeopathy, it would be clear that there was no
any mention of such ‘hering laws’ in the works of even Hering or his contemporaries.
Actually, it was the ‘observation’ made by ahnemann that curative process has some
‘order’, but he never called it a law. Hering has mentioned in his earlier works about
ahnemann’s ‘four observations regarding order of cure’, but finally in 1875 he wrote only
about a single direction of cure: ‘in the reverse direction of disease process’. He never
called it or expected to be known as ‘herings laws’. None of his famous contemporaries
and close colleagues ever discussed or made any reference to a law of direction of cure.
Writings of Boenninghausen, Jahr, Joslin, P.P. Wells, Lippe, H.N.Guernsey, Dunham, E.A.
Farrington, H.C. Allen, Nash, etc, were all silent. It was ‘KENT’ who later actually called it
‘Herings laws’ and converted these four observations into ‘fundamental laws’ of
homeopathic cure. He taught to understand and apply these ‘laws’ in a mechanical way.
He taught homeopaths to consider ‘hering laws’ regarding ‘directions of cure’ as one of
the ‘fundamental laws’ of homeopathy, similar to ‘similia similibus curentur’.

Total Cure Prescriptions
'Total Cure Prescriptions' is an innovation in homeopathic practice, which
enables homeopaths to generate wonderful sure-shot customized prescriptions
that would offer ‘rapid, permanent and total cure’ for their patients. Total Cure
Prescriptions' addresses not any individual diseases presented by the patient,
but ALL his diseases that may be due to diverse miasmatic, genetic, infectious,
environmental, ontogenic, metabolic, emotional or nutritional causes. All in a
single go!
A 'TOTAL CURE PRESCRIPTION' is a prescription that is expected to contain
ALL the diverse types of 'molecular imprints' required to remove ALL the
diverse types of molecular inhibitions existing in the patient, thereby offering a
TOTAL CURE.
