Homöopathie aus nanomedizinischer Perspektive

Zusammenfassung

Entgegen der bisherigen Annahme, dass in homöopathischen Hochpotenzen in Verdünnungsgraden jenseits der Avogadro’schen Konstante kein Ausgangsmaterial mehr nachzuweisen sein dürfte, konnte in den letzten Jahren das Gegenteil in unabhängigen Studien konsistent gezeigt werden. Neben den mit höherer Potenzierung in abnehmender Größe entstandenen Nanopartikeln konnten auch Nanopartikel von Laktose und Silikaten nachgewiesen werden. Im Nanoparticle-Allostatic-Cross-Adaption-Sensitization Model von Bell wird versucht diese Beobachtungen in der Zusammenschau bereits vorliegender biologischer und physikalischer Erkenntnisse zu einer Hypothese homöopathischer Arzneiwirkung zusammenzufügen, was aber in einigen Punkten noch einer experimentellen Überprüfung bedarf.

Summary

Contrary to hitherto assumptions, that in homoeopathic high potencies in dilutions beyond Avogadro’s constant no raw material should be traceable, the contrary could be shown consistently in the last years in independent trials. Beside nanoparticles in decreasing sizes in higher potencies, even nano particles of lactose and silicates could be traced. In Bellʼs model of nanoparticle-allostatic-cross-adaption-sensitization it is attempted to add these observations in a display of already existing biological and physical insights to a hypothesis of action of homoeopathic remedies. This needs however, in some aspects, further confirmation through experiments.
