“…The expression of caspase proteins is directly related to the process of cell apoptosis. In another experiment that reproduced their previous results, Guedes et al (2016) identified lower RNA expression of caspases 3 and 7 in tadpoles stimulated by T3 solution at 100 nM and subsequently treated with the 10cH dilution of this hormone. Again, the ability of high dilutions of thyroid hormones to induce changes in the metamorphosis-related process through the water was seen.…”

Recent studies on the use of highly diluted substances to treat aquatic animals have been raised in literature. These studies are mainly focused on experimental tools to elucidate the mechanisms of high dilutions' actions on living beings, and that reveal the potential use of these products as a clean and cheap technology to improve animal health. Endler and colleagues carried out the most reproducible experimental model in this field more than 20 years ago -that is, the effects of highly diluted thyroxine on tadpole development, whose papers were published between 1994 and 2015. More recently, certain species of aquatic animals -such as zebrafish and microcrustaceans -have been used as experimental models to evaluate toxicity and bioresilience. Concerning microcrustaceans, a series of studies using Artemia salina have shown interesting results in inducing adaptative processes to hazardous substances. At least partially, these effects seem to be associated with changes in the electric properties of water, as seen by its interaction with solvatochromic dyes.

ZusammenfassungBei der Wahl einer homöopathischen Arznei sind meist weitere, ganz individuelle Symptome oder mögliche Auslöser, die gar nicht pathognomonisch für die jeweilige Erkrankung sind, anzeigend. Dies ist auch bei möglichen Mitteln zu Stoffwechselstörungen der Schilddrüse der Fall. Der Beitrag stellt homöopathische Arzneien vor, die aufgrund ihres Bezugs zu Schilddrüsenerkrankungen auf jeden Fall in Betracht gezogen werden sollten. Bei hyperthyreoter Stoffwechsellage kommen vor allem jodhaltige Mittel zum Einsatz, hypothyreote Schilddrüsenerkrankungen benötigen Mittel, die in erster Linie den Schwächezustand angehen. Nach der Vorstellung diverser Homöopathika mit Bezug zu Schilddrüsenerkrankungen gibt der Beitrag auch noch einen kleinen Überblick zum aktuellen Forschungsstand. Viele Studien kommen zu einer positiven Bewertung der Homöopathie, dennoch ist die Studienlage noch recht dünn, weswegen weitere Forschungsaktivitäten wünschenswert wären.
