Effects of homeopathic medicines on the human control system

Scientifically, one cannot expect the physical presence of medicinal material in a homeopathic medicine with potency n >12. There have to be, then, some modifications in the physical and chemical nature of this medium such as variations in the hydrogen bonded networks or in the delocalised vibrational states of the molecules of the medium. When these networks come in contact with fluids in the human system, there is a relaxation of these structures, resulting in energy transfer to the human system. We demonstrate, using objective experiments, that homeopathic medicines might be acting as control signals changing the response of the autonomous nervous system. Normally, there are rhythmic fluctuations in heart rate, blood flow rate, respiratory rate without any stimulus such as food, sleep or exertion. A frequency spectrum of these fluctuations shows peaks in three regions, in the low frequency region (<0.1Hertz) due to the sympathetic nervous system, in the medium frequency range (0.1Hz to 0.3Hz) due to the parasympathetic nervous system and in the higher frequency range (>0.3Hz) due to the respiratory system. In normal human beings, the intensity of these peaks drops as the frequency increases. However, in diseased states this trend is not followed, and the intensity of the respiratory signals may be highest. Using an indigenously developed instrument, we have studied the effect of homeopathic potencies on these spectra. There is a significant variation in the response of autonomous nervous system to a homeopathic stimulus. Thus, it appears that homeopathic medicines act as control signals changing the variability in physiological parameters.

Once proper control signals are established, the system tries to restore to normality. During this process, the disease products are removed from the location of the disease and are thrown into the blood circulation system. This has been demonstrated by taking the example of the cure of jaundice, where bilirubin increases considerably when there is an apparent improvement in the condition of the patient. This is because bilirubin stored in the liver during its diseased state is discharged into the blood when the liver function improves. This information is vital to the understanding of the process of cure since otherwise such an increase may be misinterpreted as due to progressive disease. Such results may cause alarm to the patient and the doctor. The results also show the difference between palliation and cure, as, during palliation, biochemical parameters decrease, but there may not be symptomatic relief to the patient. Aggravation in subjective symptoms need not always be due to primary action of the medicine, that is, need not be homeopathic aggravation.
