ZUSAMMENFASSUNG

In der Homöopathie werden Mikrodosen, die nach pharmazeutischer Vorschrift verdünnt wurden, häufig mit großem Nutzen für Patienten eingesetzt, auch wenn es theoretisch höchst unwahrscheinlich ­erscheint, dass in solchen Verdünnungen physikalisch auch nur noch ein einziges Molekül der Originalsubstanz vorhanden ist. Kontrollierte biologische ­Experimente deuten darauf hin, dass homöopathische Hochverdünnungen einen spezifischen Effekt aufweisen.

SUMMARY

In homeopathy, micro doses of drugs at ultra-high dilutions are often used with great benefits to patients although at such dilutions physical existence of even a single molecule of the original drug substance is highly improbable. Controlled biological experiments suggest homeopathic high-dilutions have a specific effect.
