Abstract
Background
The emergence of therapeutic innovations has been constant throughout the history
of medicine. However, the lack of a scientific approach has made most of them inconsistent
with evidence-based medicine. Homeopathy is a multifactorial science with unlimited
applications and study possibilities. Supported by governmental and political issues,
the Galtonian eugenics concepts, and new physiology-endocrine insights, biotypology
concepts have evolved as a predicted therapeutic based on morphology. Mitochondria
are central organelles in cellular metabolism and key determinants of cell miasma.
In the pursuit of animal welfare, the close relationship between humans and dogs justifies
expanding the homeopathic therapeutic arsenal from which veterinary medicine can benefit.
Materials and Methods
Utilizing a bibliographical review, this article aims to present a review of biotypology
ideas in humans and adapt them to animals, and their relations with the Hahnemann
miasmas. A new model for cell biotypology is proposed.
Results
Mitochondrial oxidative stress levels can disrupt cell metabolism balance. Resilient
and adaptative physiological processes are crucial for exonerative conditions and
psora homeostasis. Free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS) can alter mitochondrial
permeability and immune response in sycosis. Obesity is related to oxidative stress
and a sharp decrease in cell respiration and ATP generation. Uninterrupted stress
can generate an imbalance in mitochondrial redox, reducing physiological and immune
functions in syphilis.
Conclusion
Joining genetic and psycho-neuro-endocrine-physiology-morphology studies in homeopathy
can help find the constitutional simillimum to unknown dogs, such as stray or shelter
ones. The similia principle can be applied to cell physiological states, enabling
a miasma grading and thus favoring therapeutics for any patient.
