A. GENETIC RESEARCH

Anisur Rahman KhudaBukhsh in his paper “Potentized homeopathic drugs act through regulation ofgene expression: a hypothesis to explain their mechanism and pathways of action in vivo” Com TherMed. 1997: 5; 43. proposed that homeopathic substances have the capacity to interact with thegenetic blueprint and deliver their benefits by increasing the expression of genes that synthesisehealth promoting proteins i.e. homeopathic medicines activate genes i.e.genes can be turned on andoff by use of homeopathic remedies

https://drnancymalik.wordpress.com/article/scientificresearchinhomeopathy/ 28/47

In 1976, Boiron and Vinh used Raman Laser Spectroscopy, showing that for the 1C potency of Kalibichromicum the spectrum of alcohol disappears completely, while that for potassium bichromateappears. In Kali bich 1C the ratio of the number of potassium bichromate molecules is 1 to 500. Insuch a case the light meets 500 more alcohol molecules as those of bichromate, yet the alcoholspectrum does not appear.

CONCLUSIONS

Research claims to have confirmed the efficacy of homeopathic medicine. Additional support comesfrom the fact that animals, plants, infants and comatose patients also benefit from homeopathictreatment and it is unlikely that they will react psychologically to a medicine they often do not knowthey are being given

Congratulations on doing this;it’s an important step in helping people to realise that the “no evidence” claimsquoted in support of suppressing all discussion of homoeopathy are themselves justso much hot air.
