To swallow or not to swallow…that is the question!

यूटा मॆटिल की पोस्ट , ’ To swallow or not to swallow…that is the question!’ कई अर्थों मे महत्वपूर्ण है । अधिकतर होम्योपैथ दवाओं को oral route यानि मुँह द्वारा ही लेने की सलाह देते हैं जैसा कि यूटा के एक सर्वे से स्पष्ट है । स्वंय हैनिमैन ने भी आर्गेनान सेक्शन २७२ में इस तथ्य को रखा है :

In Aphorism 272 he describes to the homeopath that a “granule placed dry on the tongue, is one of the smallest administrations for the less severe, only recently developed cases of disease” [10] (p.158). He goes on to point out that as such, only few nerves are touched by the medication. Further he describes that if the granule is dissolved in water and is prior to repeated ingestion succussed; a much stronger medication is created of which even the tiniest dose comes into instant contact with many nerves [10]. Yet, this also does not deliver indications for a definite necessity of transmucosal absorption.

लेकिन इसके बावजूद हैनिमैन ने चिकित्सकों को अन्य routes को भी अपनाने की सलाह भी दी  है जिनमें olfaction method प्रमुख है । पिछ्ले वर्ष से अब तक स्वंय मैने भी इस तथ्य को क्लीनकल प्रैक्टिस मे अनुभव किया कि कई होम्योपैथिक दवायें olfaction method से बेहतर कार्य करती हैं जैसे कि acute respiratory infections विशेषकर acute asthma ( दमा ) मे Ipecac 0/3 से 0/10 . arsenic 0/5, और sambucus 0/3 मुँह द्वारा प्रयोग करने की अपेक्षा nebulizer route से अधिक प्रभावी साबित होती है । इसका कारण क्या हो सकता है , इसके बारे मे तो अगर और अधिक रिसर्च हों तो शायद कहना मुमकिन हो ।

Abstract

BACKGROUND:

Toxicodendron pubescens P. Mill (Anacardiaceae) known in homeopathy as Rhus toxicodendron (Rhus tox) is used as an anti-inflammatory medicine in homeopathic practice. In this study, Rhus tox in its crude form and homeopathic dilutions (3cH, 6cH, 30cH, 200cH) was evaluated for effects on Complete Freund's Adjuvant (CFA) induced arthritis in rats.

METHOD:

We assessed the severity of arthritis through observations including inflammatory lesions, body and organ weight and hematological parameters including C-reactive protein (CRP). Blinded radiological analysis of the affected joints and pain intensity determination was also carried out.

RESULTS:

Rhus tox protected rats from CFA-induced inflammatory lesions, body weight changes and hematological alterations. Rhus tox protected against radiological joint alterations due to arthritis. Arthritic pain scores were also favorably affected by Rhus tox. All the dilutions of Rhus tox including crude form showed anti-arthritic activity. The maximum protective effect was evident in the crude form at 10mg/kg/day, by mouth.

CONCLUSION:

This study supports claims in the homeopathic literature on the role of Rhus tox and its ultra dilutions in the treatment of arthritis and associated pain. Further study is needed to explain this anti-arthritic effect of Rhus tox.

Dynamized Homeopathic Preparations in Cell Culture- a study report in Amala Cancer Research Centre, Kerala

Courtesy : Oxford Journal

Although reports on the efficacy of homeopathic medicines in animal models are limited, there are even fewer reports on the in vitro action of these dynamized preparations. In Amla Cancer Research Centre, Kerala , Ellanzhiyil Surendran Sunila, Ramadasan Kuttan, Korengath Chandran Preethi and Girija Kuttan have evaluated the cytotoxic activity of 30C and 200C potencies of ten dynamized medicines against Dalton's Lymphoma Ascites, Ehrlich's Ascites Carcinoma, lung fibroblast (L929) and Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cell lines and compared activity with their mother tinctures during short-term and long-term cell culture. The effect of dynamized medicines to induce apoptosis was also evaluated and they have studied how dynamized medicines affected genes expressed during apoptosis. Mother tinctures as well as some dynamized medicines showed significant cytotoxicity to cells during short and long-term incubation. Potentiated alcohol control did not produce any cytotoxicity at concentrations studied. The dynamized medicines were found to inhibit CHO cell colony formation and thymidine uptake in L929 cells and those of Thuja, Hydrastis and Carcinosinum were found to induce apoptosis in DLA cells. Moreover, dynamized Carcinosinum was found to induce the expression of p53 while dynamized Thuja produced characteristic laddering pattern in agarose gel electrophoresis of DNA. These results indicate that dynamized medicines possess cytotoxic as well as apoptosis-inducing properties.

Recently, limited investigations on the efficacy of dynamized medicines in animal models as well as clinical trials have reported that potentiated Lycopodium clavatum has protective action against CCl₄-induced liver damage in rats (3) and that chelidonium 30C could ameliorate both p-dimethylaminoazobenzene and azodye-induced hepatocarcinogenesis in mice (4,5). Anti-genotoxic effect of different dynamized medicines has also been reported (6,7): Arsenicum album was found to ameliorate arsenic-induced toxicity in mice as well as in clinical studies and could reduce the elevated antinuclear antibody titer and hematological toxicities (8,9). Homeopathic therapy for asymptomatic HIV carriers has also proven beneficial (10) and recently Rajendran (11) reported homeopathy as a supportive therapy in cancer. Pathak et al. (12) investigated Ruta 6 on regression of human glioma brain cancer cell growth clinically and found that Ruta induces severe telomere erosion in MGRI brain cancer cells but has no effect on B-lymphoid cells and normal lymphocytes. Banerji and Banerji (13) reported that Ruta was effective for intracranial cysticercosis.

Very few investigations have explored the action of dynamized medicine in in vitro cell culture systems. Podophyllum has been shown to inhibit adhesion of neutrophils to serum-coated micro plates (14). Traumeen S, a homeopathic formulation used clinically to relieve trauma and inflammation has been shown to inhibit the production of Interleukin-β, TNF- and Interleukin-8 by human T cells and monocytes in culture (15). Many homeopathic drugs at low potencies were found to potentiate oxidative metabolism in cultured cells (16).

Results:

Although the healing potential of homeopathic drugs is widely accepted, the exact mechanism of action is still unclear. In paragraphs 63–69 of Organon, Hahneman describes the mechanism of action through the ‘primary action’ of the medicine (dynamized or not) and the ‘secondary and curative reaction’ of the organism: ‘Every agent that acts upon the vitality, every medicine, deranges more or less the vital force, and causes a certain alteration in the health of the individual for a longer or a shorter period. This is termed primary action. Although a product of the medicinal and vital powers conjointly, it is principally due to the former power. To its action our vital force endeavors to oppose its own energy. This resistant action is a property, is indeed an automatic action of our life-preserving power, which goes by the name of secondary action or counteraction’. We have tried to explain the mechanism of action of the dynamized preparations taking into consideration the original proposition by Samuel Hahnemann and have approached this problem by investigating the action of dynamized drugs in various cultured cells in a systematic scientific manner.

Cytotoxic activity of a drug is often considered a first step towards elucidating its possible use against cancer and all of the drugs selected are being used by homeopathic practioners against cancer. They have  found that in short-term cytotoxicity research, some of the dynamized preparations showed significant cytotoxic actions against cancer cell lines and at times the activity was higher than that of the mother tinctures. For example, Conium at 200C potency was more cytotoxic than its mother tincture and that the cytotoxicity induced by Carcinosinum was higher at 200C than at 30C potency indicating that dynamization induces the cytotoxic potential of these medications. Results were more pronounced during MTT assay in which a longer period of incubation was involved. Many dynamized preparations at potency of 200C inhibited the growth of L929 cells. Clonogenic assay using CHO cells is a standard method to determine growth inhibitory activity of the drugs and we found that dynamized preparations of Thuja, Hydrastis, Carcinosinum and Podophyllum at 200C potency almost completely inhibited the CHO colony formation. As in other cases, Conium 200C was more active than 30C. We have confirmed the cytotoxic potential of dynamized preparations by thymidine uptake, for the marker of the inhibition DNA synthesis. As in the case other experiments, DNA synthesis was significantly inhibited by several dynamized preparations.

Cytotoxicity could be produced in cells either by necrosis or by apoptotic induction. Apoptosis, which is known as programmed cell death is highly regulated by events taking place within the cell and is highly relevant with respect to the destruction and removal of transformed cells from the body. The induction of apoptosis could be an external agent and a cascade of reactions taking place within the cell produces an ultimate cell death. Some of the events via occurring during apoptosis include morphological changes in the cell, production of apoptotic bodies, damage to genetic material and finally induction of proteolytic enzymes, which produces cellular destruction. Apoptosis could be visualized by morphology and DNA laddering. In the present study, dynamized preparations induced apoptosis as observed from their morphology and DNA laddering. Moreover, dynamized preparation of Carcinosinum could induce the p53, which is considered to be a proapoptotic protein and involved in signal transduction pathway.

The mechanism of action of some of the homeopathic drugs has been proposed. Potentiated preparation of Ruta possesses protective action on normal B-lymphoid cells against H₂O₂-induced chromosomal damage (13). Moreover, the telomere erosion was enhanced in cancer cells by treatment with Ruta while normal cells showed no change. Thus, the telomeres that protect individual chromosomes of cancer cells are damaged by Ruta, which may be the mechanism of its therapeutic action in brain cancer (13).

The protective effect of Chelidonium against p-DAB-induced hepatic cancer may occur by the modulating effect of the drug on restoration of damage caused to several gene-regulated phenomena like enzyme activities and chromosomal abnormalities. This gives insight into the mechanism of action, which may be by means of interfering with the process of carcinogenesis by actively modifying actions of oncogenes or by activating tumor suppressor genes (5). Another mechanism of actions of homeopathic drugs may occur through immune modification. Benveniste (17) has shown that human basophils undergo degranulation not only at usual anti-IgE antibody doses but also at extremely high dilutions. Bastide (18)has shown the therapeutic effect of high dilution of –β interferon and thymic hormones on cellular immunity and had good therapeutic effect in immunodepressed patients. Similarly Bentwich et al. (19) revealed that small amounts of antigens are capable of specific antibody response. The role of immunity in the therapeutic efficacy of homeopathic medicines has also been reviewed (20).

There  results indicate that the dynamized preparation initially produces a secondary action on cells that is in line with the original proposition by Hahnemann on the mechanism of action of medicines dynamized or not. However, limited knowledge in this area does not fully explain the mechanism of action of all drugs . More scientific analyses are warranted to elucidate these interesting preparations of ultra dilutions.

60 per cent of doctors’ surgeries prescribe homeopathic or herbal remedies in Scotland

Sixty per cent of doctors’ surgeries in Scotland prescribe homeopathic or herbal remedies, according to a study of nearly two million patients, published in the December issue of the British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology.

Source : Homeopathic and herbal prescribing in general practice in Scotland. Ross S, Simpson C R and McLay J S. British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology

Researchers from the University of Aberdeen analysed official prescribing data from 2003-4, covering 1.9 million patients from 323 practices.
Their findings have led them to call for a critical review of homeopathic and herbal prescribing in the UK National Health Service, particularly the high levels given to babies and children under 16.
The research team discovered that:
• 49 per cent of practices prescribed a total of 193 different homeopathic
remedies and 32 per cent prescribed 17 different herbal remedies.
• Five per cent of the practices included in the study prescribed 50 per cent
of the remedies and accounted for 46 per cent of the patients receiving
them.
• 4160 patients (2.2 per 1000 registered patients) were prescribed at least
one homeopathic remedy during the study period. 73 per cent were female
and the average age of patients was 47.
• Children under 12 months were most likely to be prescribed a homeopathic
or herbal remedy (9.5 per 1000 children in that age group), followed by
adults aged 81-90 (4.5 per 1000). 16 per cent of homeopathic prescribing
was to children under 16.
• 361 patients were prescribed at least one herbal remedy during the study
period (0.2 per 1000 registered patients) and 12 per cent of these were
children under 16 years old. 72 per cent of prescriptions were issued to
females and the average age was 61.
• Doctors who prescribed patients a homeopathic remedy also prescribed
them a median of four conventional medicines during the study period.
This figure went up to five for people prescribed herbal remedies.
• Four per cent of patients prescribed a herbal remedy were, at the same time, prescribed conventional medication that has been documented to
interact with herbal treatments.
• The top five prescribed homeopathic remedies were
Arnica montana (for injury, bruising),
Rhus toxicodendron (joint symptoms, headache)
Cuprum metallicum (cramp, poor circulation)
Pulsatilla (PMT, menopausal symptoms, breast feeding problems) and
Sepia (PMT, menopausal symptoms, fatigue).
• The top five prescribed herbal remedies were:
Gentian (poor appetite, digestive problems),
Cranberry (urinary tract infection)
Digestodoron (indigestion, heartburn, constipation)
Evening primrose (PMT) and Laxadoron (constipation)
“Our study shows that a substantial number of Scottish family doctors prescribe homeopathic and herbal remedies” says co-author Dr James McLay
from the University’s Department of Medicine and herapeutics.
“This level of prescribing raises important questions about homeopathic and herbal provision in the UK’s National Health Service
“The major problem with homeopathic preparations is the lack of scientific evidence that they are effective.
“Given the rise of evidence-based medicine and the trend toward prescribing
guidance in the UK, should therapies with no convincing positive clinical trial evidence be prescribed and funded by the health service?
“Or are proponents of such remedies correct in stating that the difficulties inherent in trialling such therapies make evidence irrelevant.
“Whatever the arguments, our study shows an apparent acceptance of homeopathic and herbal medicine within primary care, including extensive use
in children and young babies. We believe that these findings underline the need for a critical review of this prescribing trend.”
“The research by the University of Aberdeen adds an important dimension to the ongoing debate about homeopathic remedies, as it shows what is actually happening at grass roots in Scottish general practice,” adds Dr Jeffrey
Aronson, Editor-in-Chief of the Journal and Reader in Clinical Pharmacology at Oxford University.
“In September 2006 the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory
Agency (MHRA) introduced new rules to regulate homeopathic medicines, allowing manufacturers to specify the ailments for which they can be used.
“This move has been criticised by a number of leading UK scientific institutions, who argue that homeopathic medicines should not be allowed to make ‘unsubstantiated health claims’ and that the policy is damaging to patients’ best interests.
“We hope that this paper will further inform the debate, as it provides clear evidence on prescribing patterns within the NHS and raises a number of important issues, particularly about prescribing homeopathic and herbal remedies to children.”

Research Supporting Homeopathy

Source: http://www.healthnews.com/blogs/melanie-grimes/natural-health/alternative-medicine/research-supporting-homeopathy-2596.html

 

The first double-blind crossover study ever performed was conducted by homeopaths in 1906. This study was run concurrently in eleven different cities on fifteen subjects. The documentation of this experiment consisted of 665 pages, published as Research Provings of Belladonna. Also at the turn of the nineteenth century, a book on homeopathic research was published called The Logic of Figures or Comparative Results of Homeopathic and Other Treatments. This book provided dozens of charts comparing disease and death rates in homeopathic and allopathic (mainstream) hospitals. This research also investigated statistics on the epidemic diseases of scarlet fever, yellow fever, and typhoid. The research showed that homeopathic hospitals had an average of 50 to 80 percent fewer deaths per 100 people, depending on the disease compared.
During World War II, an early double-blind study of homeopathy was sponsored by the British government. The experiment demonstrated that those given homeopathic remedies experienced a significant improvement in burns from mustard gas compared to those given placebo.
Many modern clinical trials are currently underway, looking for evidence of the efficacy of homeopathy from controlled trials in human subjects. More than 100 clinical trials have been conducted, some published in highly prestigious journals such as Lancet and JAMA. In 1997, K. Linde and W. Jonas, directors of the Alternative Medicine Evaluation Department of the National Institute of Health, co-signed a meta-analysis which evaluated 186 clinical trials on homeopathic therapies. Among the 105 trials whose results could be interpreted, 81 presented positive results, while homeopathy did not have a positive effect in 24 others. The authors concluded that, "the results of this meta-analysis are incompatible with the hypothesis that the clinical effects of homeopathy are due exclusively to a placebo effect."
Proliferation of interest in the area of clinical research abounds. In April 2003, a two-day conference was held in London on the topic of clinical research. Dick Koster  reports: "Those who are opposed to homeopathy…base their conclusion on the last negative study…. Followers of homeopathy herald all positive news and complain about serious design flaws in negative studies…. Both sides claim their successes and failures as definitive while in reality, new research…would only add or subtract a small effect to or from the already existing evidence…of homeopathy being true." This being said, Koster goes on to say that "homeopaths look at their patient results and believe that no amount of negative research could topple their belief in homeopathy."
A recent double-blind study has shown the antiviral effect of homeopathic remedies. Eight of the ten remedies tested inhibited viruses in chicken embryos from 50 to 100 percent depending on the potencies used. German scientists at a Veterinary College showed use of the homeopathic remedy Chelidonium lowered serum cholesterol when given twice a day to rabbits on a cholesterol rich diet.
The British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology published a double-blind experiment on patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Of those given a homeopathic medicine, 82 percent experienced some relief of symptoms, while only 21 percent of those given a placebo experienced any similar degree of improvement.
Research has also been conducted in the use of homeopathy in cancer. In 77 mice that received a transplant in fibrosarcoma, 52 percent survived more than a year when treated with homeopathic remedies. The 77 untreated mice died within 10-15 days.
Many critics of homeopathic research site flaws in the designs of the studies, weakness in reporting and measuring techniques, small numbers of study participants, and the difficulties in replicating results. Homeopathy works and the proof is in the pudding. Because the science is based on one remedy for one person, it is difficult to construct studies and judge the results. Clinical results have noted homeopathic cures taking place around the globe for over 100 years. The miniscule doses are still immeasurable by today’s science, but in the future, equipment will be designed that can adequately measure the healing effects of homeopathy.

  Homeopathy has been used for more than two hundred years to treat chronic disease using various approaches in a wide range of diseases. However, for acute disease and critical illness, application has been limited by inadequate training of homeopathic physicians and the small number of pertinent clinical studies. In view of the difficulty of practising homeopathy in Intensive Care Units (ICU), a protocol was developed to facilitate description of objective homeopathic symptoms with a ranking of symptoms appropriate for these situations (Protocol for Objective Homeopathic Semiology). Examples of favorable results with individualized homeopathic treatments for a series of cases of...

  How can Randomised Controlled Trials (RCTs) change our beliefs? The fact that they do update prior beliefs to different posterior beliefs is explained by Bayesian philosophy.Crucial points in Bayesian analysis include setting the first prior expectation right and sequential updating of the prior in the light of new evidence. Bayesian analysis depends highly on the evidence included.RCT evidence can only falsify the placebo hypothesis, it cannot indicate which mechanism of action could be responsible for an intrinsic effect and therefore cannot overturn existing beliefs.
