Hypothetic physical mechanisms of electronic homeopathic nosodes action Dr. Tatiana Chernysheva, M.D.; Prof. Vladimir Korenbaum, Ph.D. Functional medicine clinic “Manus” and Pacific Oceanological Institute of RAS, Vladivostok, Russia Introduction • There are 2 procedures of preparation of homeopathic remedies (Towsey M.W., Hasan M.Y. Homoeopathy - a biophysical point of view. Br Hom J 1995; 84: 218-228.): • left branch – traditional dilution/succussion; • right branch – electronic homeopathic copying (“imprinting”) with M. Rae‟s apparatus. Introduction Electronic-homoeopathic copies (EHCs) or so named nosodes, made by “imprinting” the parent substance onto water with the help of M. Rae‟s black box or other electronic devices (for example J. Benveniste, 2000), have received a certain acceptance in some fields of alternative medicine. EHCs are used in modern homeopathy, in Voll & Schimmel‟s electro-puncture diagnostics, in Applied Kinesiology. Simulator (Metabolics, GB) a version of M. Rae black box • Apparatus contains two copper tubular containers, the right of which (M) is for the substance copied, whereas the left one (C) for the prepared EHP. • According to Towsey and Hasan (1995) there is a magnet under container C in the box. • In accordance with “radionic” technique developed by M. Rae the effect of a substance copied is to „modulate‟ magnetic field, which in turn “restructures” water crystalization. Subject of the study and objective • The objective of the study is double blind estimation of biophysical differences between water-based EHCs and blank water carrier or placebo (P). • Two independent investigations were carried out. • The first one was connected to verification of biomedical effect of EHC with a biological model. Study I • Biohumus fertilizer was chosen as the parent substance under study. • Water was used as a carier for electronic-homoeopathic preparation. • The tomato seedlings were fed by preparations under study. • After 38 days they were cut and measured. • Significance of distinctions between groups fed with studied preparations was estimated by nonparametric statistics. One of the plastic boxes (97х15х14 cm) with plants Action of the EHC of biohumus fertiliser on tomato seedling • The uniform environmental exposure of plant groups was achieved by displacing and turning the boxes at a time. • The plants were fed with the preparations (200-300 ml) once a week. • Duration of each experiment was 38 days. • The mass and growth differences for green part of the plants, watered by homoeopathic nosode and placebo, proved to be statistically significant in 3 of 4 experiments. Results: growth of plants (mm) in experiments (box & whisker plots) Results: mass of plants (g) in experiments (box & whisker plots) Results: Significance of difference in mass and green part growth between groups of plants fed with EHC of fertilizer and placebo (P) * - according to Wald-Wolfovitz runs test Experiment No. 1 No. 2 No. 3 No. 4 Mass n/s p = 0.00016 p = 0.014* p < 0.0001 Growth n/s p < 0.0001 n/s p = 0.028 Discussion: Direction of EHC action • Curiously at the same time, the direction of ECP action re P differs from experiment to experiment. So, in Experiments No.2 and No.3 the EHC intensifies the development of plants re P, and conversely in Experiment No.4 weakens. • Such instability of the action on biological species (by the way, being noted for the traditionally prepared homoeopathic remedies) can be related to the effect dependent on the initial state of plants (heating rate indoor and outdoor, year, season, lunar phase and etc.). Study II we investigated absorption spectra of EHC of 7 names of homeopathic remedies: • DNA-tox (DNA) – indicator of DNA affection caused by exposure of organism to toxic agents (Manus, RF); • Bacteria (B) – superposition of 27 pathogenic bacteria (Metabolics Ltd, GB); • Manus (MAN) – harmonizing nosode (Manus, RF); • Fungus (FUN) - superposition of 17 pathogenic fungus (Metabolics Ltd, GB); • Toxic metal (TM) - superposition of 27 salts of heavy metals and toxic metals (Metabolics Ltd, GB); • Virus (VIR) – superposition of 25 pathogenic viruses (Metabolics Ltd, GB); • Vanilmandelic acid (VMA) – product of noradrenaline and epinephrine metabolism (Metabolics Ltd, GB). Preparations • The carrier was a sterile saline solution (NaCl 9%) in 5-ml hermetic ampoules. • 90 arbitrarily chosen ampoules from one factory lot were numbered from 1 to 90. • It was prepared by 9 EHC ampules of each denomination (a total of 63 ampoules), 27 placebo (being hidden control) ampoules and 5 control ampoules. • The correspondence of the ampoule numbers with the homoeopathic remedies or placebo was recorded in the protocol that had not been opened until the completion of spectral analysis and the record of spectral files. The optical spectroscopy • Absorption spectra were measured using UV – 2101 PC (Shimadzu, Japan) double-beam apparatus. The wave band was 800 – 600 nm with interval of 0.5 nm. The values of optical density – log (1/transmission coefficient) – were written to the hard disk as a file of spectral readings, the number of which was appropriate to that of an ampoule. • Every ampoule of sample was opened just before measurement, and the specimen were poured in 3 ml cuvette made of quartz glass (rectangular parallelepiped 4.5 cm in height, 1 mm wall thickness) with expendable syringe. • After recording the difference absorption spectrum the cuvette was flushed out with saline solution, dried, and wiped with an optical blanket. • The control cuvette was filled once for every series with a species from arbitrarily taken control ampoule. Statiatical analysis • All spectra were centered by subtraction the mean optical density in the band of 800 – 600 nm from every spectral reading to remove possible bias between 2 cuvettes. • During statistical processing, the spectrum of each EHC determined was compared with spectrum of each group of placebo for all spectral readings (wavelengths) using MannWhitney non-parametric U-test. • The wavelengths with the differences being significant (p<0.05) were registered. • Thereupon to enhance significance we selected those spectral regions in which the significant differences were observed at least on two adjoining wavelengths and evaluated the sign of differences re placebo. The number of spectral regions with significant differences re placebo / wavelengths (nm), and sign of differences (↑↓) Placebo 1 Placebo 1 (n=8) Placebo 2 (n=8) Placebo 3 (n=9) DNA (n=9) B (n=9) MAN (n=8) FUN (n=8) TM (n=9) VIR (n=9) VMA (n=9) Placebo 2 _____0_____ _____0_____ Placebo 3 _____0_____ _____0_____ _____0_____ _____0_____ _____3_____ 783↓, 727↑, 702↑ _____0_____ _____0_____ _____2_____ 780↓, 740↑ _____0_____ _____2_____ 790↓, 707.5↑ _____1_____ 724.5↑ _____1_____ 740.5↑ _____0_____ _____1_____ 726.5↑ _____0_____ _____2_____ 734.5↑, 732↑ _____0_____ _____0_____ _____1_____ 742.5↑ _____0_____ _____0_____ _____0_____ _____1_____ 779.5↓ _____0_____ _____0_____ Spectral amplitudes of EHCs are higher than spectral amplitudes of all Placebo groups in the range from 702 to 742.5 nm. While spectral amplitudes of EHCs are less than spectral amplitudes of all Placebo groups in the range from 779.5 to 790 nm. Discussion • The steady signs (in 2 or even 3 wavelengths) enlarges significance of differences between spectra of EHCs and placebo. • Small number of EHCs studied makes impossible to define if the wavelengths with differencies are specific for certain EHC nomination. • Meanwhile the middle area of wavelengths characterized by statistically efficient increase of absorption (724-742.5 nm) lies closely to the domain of overtone and the 4-order combination frequency of the H–H bonds in H2O molecule http://www.sbu.ac.uk/water. • Hence spectral differences revealed may be nonspecific to EHC nomination feature of change in intermolecular (H–H) connections occurred during electronic-homeopathic copying. Question? • Thus distinctions revealed between EHCs and placebo both in double blind randomized experiments with biologic model and in double blind randomized experiments with absorption spectroscopy points to the reality of the electronichomeopathic copying phenomenon. • What may follow from these results from biophysical point of view? Hypothetic explanation: Water • The results obtained leave no alternative than to suppose, agreeing with J. Benveniste that water is able to “memorize” non-contact electronic actions. In conformity with the data of recent works this does not seem anymore much incredible in the context of physics either. • For example, according to Lo S.-Y. et al (1996), extremely dilute solutions contain ice-like crystals (groups of water molecules). Called “IE crystals”, they are stable even at higher temperatures and form a kind of information matrix for “memorizing”. • According to Ponomarev, Fesenko (2000) the dynamic state of liquid water is determined by the presence of the quasi-particle field (excitations, dislocations) so named solitons caused by the relaxation of excited singlet oxygen molecules, which also makes up a kind of information matrix for “memorizing”. • But how are the non-contact actions produced by M. Rae‟s apparatus capable of influence on these information matrixes? Hypothetic explanation: M. Rae’s apparatus (Assuming that these actions are due to weak electromagnetic fields) • Human body is a source of wide-band electromagnetic disturbances associated with the vital activity of cells and organs (electrical charge motions). Moreover, all this takes place against the background of a weakly-varying magnetotelluric field, along with a field of permanent magnet set in M. Rae‟s apparatus placed beside the operator‟s body. • The preparation being copied, interpreted as a some kind of passive resonator, might modify the field of wide-band electromagnetic emission of the operator‟s organism or interaction between this field and the aforesaid magnetic fields. • In its turn this field, modified in one way or another is superimposed on EHC information matrix. Thus EHC “commits to memory” not the self-field of the parent substance but an operator’s response to it. • Hence there is the operator‟s personality dependence of the prepared EHC effectiveness noted early or experimenter‟s effect of J.

Using electronic homeopathic copies of nosodes in clinical practice under functional and organic diseases with EEG controlling Tatiana Chernysheva, MD, PhD Clinics of Functional Medicine “Manus” Vladivostok, Russia 2010 25 Study objective • Using the results indicating that electronic homeopathic copies are biophysically different from placebo, we tried to assess the effect of electronic homeopathic copies (EHC) of nosodes of brain kit in humans. • Two clinical cases are presented. • The effect of electronic homeopathic copies (EHC) of brain kit nosodes was controlled by electroencephalography. 26 Patient P., female • The patient presented with complaints on gastrointestinal tract function: abdominal pains, abdominal distension, eructation, bitter taste in the mouth, unstable stools (profuse diarrhea). The patient has been treated for 3 years in different clinics with no success. • Fibrogastroduodenoscopy demonstrated signs of superficial gastritis. On ultrasound examination diffuse changes of the pancreas were found, with no increase of size of the pancreas. The liver was not enlarged. The gallbladder was unremarkable. Intestinal distention and abdominal murmur were found during palpation. Enhanced peristalsis was observed on abdominal auscultation. • The above complaints were related to emotional stress. 27 Manual muscle testing with nosodes • According to the Chr. Smith method, using double therapy localization on the affected organ (pancreas and duodenum) we examined the connection with start and end points of the meridians. Positive TL was found with В1 (decrease of serotonin) and С1 (increase of norepinephrine). • Positive reaction to brain kit nosodes: – Cortex cerebri – Diencephalon – Epiphysis • EEG was performed to confirm psychosomatic origin of the disease. 28 EEG of patient P. before treatment “Flat” EEG with low-amplitude α-rhythm. Moderate irritative processes, increased after hypoxic test. Slight dysfunction of mesencephalic structures. 29 EEG of patient P. after provocation with water EHС of revealed nosodes Increase of α-rhythm amplitude. Decrease of irritative processes. 30 Treatment • Treatment was supplemented with aqueous EHC of the discovered cerebral nosodes: 25 ml in the morning and in the evening, during 2 months. • A repeated EEG was performed in 2 months. 31 EEG of patient P. after treatment Increase of α-rhythm amplitude up to 60 μV. Decrease of dysfunction of mes-encephalic structures. Decrease of irritative processes, especially after hypoxic test. 32 Results • Noticeable EEG improvement after treatment. • The patient noted that all the symptoms were gone already after 2 weeks of EHC treatment, for the first time in 3 years; she also noted improvement of the general physical wellbeing. • The patient has been followed for the next 4 years. Her condition remains stable. • No gastrointestinal tract disorders were found on functional examination. 33 Patient E., male. • Undergoes observation at the clinic from 1994 (since the age of 4). On initial referral: infantile cerebral paralysis, atonic-atactic type, mental retardation and speech development retardation. Gait imbalance. Coordination disorder, poor motor skills of the hands. Autistic behavior. • The patient was observed at the clinic 2-3 times a year. After rehabilitation speech and coordination were restored, fine motor skills improved. The behavior improved. 34 Condition before EHC treatment • Generally stable tendency to improvement with treatment was noted on scheduled referral in December 2006. • However, speech restraint remained; judgment and behavioral reactions did not correspond to the age. 35 MMT diagnostics with nosodes • Positive TL to GB1 (decrease of acetylcholine), Li20 (decrease of inhibitory neurotransmitters), CV24 (decrease of dopamine), SP21 (increase of histamine), L14 (increase of acetylcholine). • Positive test to brain kit nosodes: – Cerebrus totalis, – Cortex cerebri, – Diencephalon, – Epiphysis, – Cerebellum, etc. • EEG examination was performed to objectify the state of organic psychopathology. 36 EEG of patient E. before treatment Residual organic changes with disorganized unstable cortical rhythm with marked regulatory disorders. Alpha-rhythm with no specific localization, spreading from caudal to temporal leads. The frequency is 7-11 Hz. Marked diffuse slow-wave activity. EEG pattern does not comply with the patient age. 37 Treatment with cerebral nosodes EHC • Treatment was supplemented with aqueous EHC of the discovered cerebral nosodes: 25 ml twice a day during 2 weeks. • EEG was repeated in 2 weeks. 38 Results – subjective observation • After 2 weeks – abrupt change of behavior. The patient is more available for contact, answers questions adequately, speaks logically. • According to the patient‟s mother, his interests changed: he started playing more serious computer games, watching more complicated TV programs, started helping about the house and showed interest to his mother‟s work. 39 EEG of Patient E. after treatment Improvement of frequency- and structure-related organization of cortical rhythm, decrease of regulatory disorders. 40 Objective results of post-treatment examination • Frequency- and structure-related organization of the cortical rhythm improved, while regulatory disorders decreased, bringing EEG closer to age norm. • Alpha-rhythm frequency of 8-10 Hz with improved formation of modulations and location shift to occipital leads. • Follow-up is going on. The patient completed an individual program of a general evening school and currently continues education to become a file clerk. • Motor function clumsiness and ataxia remain on neurological examination. 41 Conclusions • The revealed improvement in EEG pattern of patients treated with EHC of brain kit nosodes enables to use this method in the treatment of other patients. • The use of EHC helps in diagnostics and treatment of psychosomatic and organic psychopathology of the central nervous system. • Studies of the effect of EHC on human body in diagnostics and treatment should be continued. 42
