Structural and thermal analyses of zinc and lactose in homeopathic triturated systems

Abstract

Our results suggested no structural changes due to the trituration and dynamization process. However, TG and DSC analyses permit the differentiation of dynamized and non-dynamized groups, suggesting the dynamization process induced a significant increase in the degradation heat. These results call for further calorimetric studies with other homeopathic dilutions and other methodologies, to better understand the dynamics of these systems.

Dilution-Induced Physico-Chemical Changes of Metal Oxide Nanoparticles Due to Homeopathic Preparation Steps of Trituration and Succussion

“…Further calorimetric studies would enable greater understanding of the heat transfer from eddies to NPs during succussion. 48,49 The present study is limited, however, in the way the succussion was done manually, and therefore repeatability in achieving the same velocity field was not possible due to variation in mechanical forces used in each case. Different parameters of these processes, such as grinding energy, impact force, and number of impact strokes, need to be tuned to achieve greater uniformity in the results.…”

Water-Related Mechanisms Proposed for Storing and Transmitting Homeopathic Information: Putative Links with Biological Responses

“…Nanoparticle-Allostatic Cross-Adaptation-Sensitization (NPCAS) is a mechanism, proposed by Iris Bell and Mary Koithan, to explain the action of a homeopathic medicine. [4][5][6] This proposal was reinforced by the studies of Chikramane et al 7 in India and by Holandino et al 8 These authors observed nanoparticles (NPs) of the original substance in very highly diluted or lactose-succussed preparations of different homeopathic medicines. In Holandino's article, for instance, changes in enthalpy levels were detected after trituration of Zincum metallicum in lactose.…”

La Gioconda Effect and Self-Organizing Factors of Biofield

“…It is considered that there is a significant detection of molecules originating from the homeopathic matrix only in low dynamizations, but not in high or ultra-high dynamizations. The active principle of a dynamized medicines, which are also called of high dilutions or ultra high dilutions, possibly will be the information impregnated in the base substance that can be in one weak wave or several weak waves, not knowing if it would be, necessarily, exclusively an electromagnetic wave [32][33][34].…”
