HOMEOPATHIC RESEARCH

The modus operandi of Differentiating Homeopathic Medicines by Measuring physiological variability in Human Body temperature -“Research work Ready for open Challenge” -Dr.Devendra Kumar Munta MD (Homeo) Abstract:   Homeopathic Medicine of 200c potency are given to Human subjects. Temperature variability is measured from skin of fore arm.  Temperature variability data is subjected to parametric reconstruction and Auto regressive spectrum with the help of statistical software to identify the remedy specific action.  Autoregressive coefficient’s of different remedies are compared with one another by using correlation coefficient formula. Similar remedies taken their appropriate place in the correlation chart.

Method of differentiating Homeopathic Remedies: Please click picture to maximize: 4.1Measuring Physiological Variability: Homeopathic remedy of 200c potency is used for the experiment. Freshly medicated Homeopathic pills of 200c are given to healthy volunteers. Temperature Variability Graph Used data logger and temperature sensor for measuring physiological variability that is temperature variability from skin of Human body.  Sensor is connected to forearm by means of cellophane tape. Cotton wool is used for insulation. Temperature is measured for every one second for 30 minutes. I have explained the method of measuring temperature variability from skin by  connecting sensors with the help of data logger  in my previous paper. 13 4.2 Identification of Remedy peak within the data by using statistical technique parametric reconstruction and prediction. Smooth cures represent The Remedy action. S

Observations  and Results: We have analyses the data collected during years 2009 and 2010, Following are the details of remedies tested on various persons.

Discussion: Appearance of two small waves of equal amplitude in Parametric spectrum is considered as remedy specific action for the given remedy. Parametric Amplitudes Many persons have not showed remedy specific action, the reason is temperature variability data is not collected for long time. Data is only measured for five minutes the same data is tested for action of remedy. If measured data is for a long time, we would have tested and included the data which represent the remedy specific action. If looked at Correlation Co efficient Chart  CALCAREA CARB, LYCOPODIUM,PULSATILLA, SEPIA have appeared side by side. This shows the efficacy and accuracy of the method. The analysed remedy data is collected during the period of two years. Even though  temperature variability is measured at various times during two years of time, similar remedies have taken appropriate place in the Correlation Chart.
