The effect of extremely diluted agitated gibberellic acid (10e−30) on wheat stalk growth—A two researcher pilot study

Seasonal Variation of the Effect of Extremely Diluted Agitated Gibberellic Acid (10e-30) on Wheat Stalk Growth: A Multiresearcher Study

“…The working hypothesis, derived from [4, 9], was that the time of season (autumn versus winter/spring) is a crucial factor in predicting the effect of homeopathically prepared gibberellic acid (G30x). This hypothesis, reflected in the arrangement of Table 1, appears to have been confirmed by the present results.…”

“…The model may be useful for further research as there exists a theoretical justification due to previous studies with wheat [1–4], as well as with potentized plant hormones [4, 13–16]; its methods are well standardized. A weakness is that homeopathic studies on plants sometimes yield contradictory results, for example, stimulation of growth in one and inhibition of growth in another laboratory, both findings being homogeneous and statistically significant within themselves [5–8].…”

“…An inhibition of growth by silver nitrate diluted above Avogadro's value was found by 3 of 4 researchers (Kolisko, Scherer-Pongratz, Nograsek, but not Endler) [2, 3]. Pfleger et al reported an inhibition of wheat growth by high diluted gibberellic acid [4]. Betti et al [5] and Brizzi et al [6] reported a stimulation of wheat growth through treatment of the seeds with high potencies of arsenic.…”

“…First results from experiments performed in autumn 2007 (see Table 1, experiments A1–4) suggested an inhibition of stalk growth by gibberellic acid 30x [4]. Further experiments (Table 1, WS1–4) led to the idea that gibberellic acid 30x causes inhibition of growth in autumn season only, whereas in winter it causes stimulation of growth [9].…”

A review of use of enantiomers in homeopathy

“…Isopathic experiments using optical isomers have been previously reported [24][25][26][27][28]. Jonas et al reported effects of potencies of (−)-glutamate isopathically inhibiting (−)-glutamate toxicity in the nervous system of rats [26].…”
