    HRI Research Article Issue 18 Winter 2012 The development and use of Hering’s Law Assessment Tool (HELAT) in clinical trials Hugh Harrison Community Clinical Sciences Division, University of Southampton Medical School, Complementary Medicine Research,Primary Medical Care, Aldemoor Health Centre, Aldemoor Close, Southampton SO16 5ST The aim of this paper is to describe the development of an evaluation tool – the Hering’s Law Assessment Tool (HELAT) – by a research team at Southampton University, as part of a randomised controlled trial of homeopathy in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.1 Beginning with an exploration of the origin of Hering’s Law and its subsequent use in both the teaching and practice of homeopathy, the potential of HELAT as a valid evaluative measure in clinical trials is explored. Introduction b) a summary evaluation utilising a visual analogue scale (VAS)* (Figure 1b) to monitor changes in the patient’s chief ‘Hering’s Law of Cure’ is used by many homeopaths to help complaint, vitality and aspects of wellbeing (physical, emotional assess clinical outcomes. These ‘Laws’ are an historical and spiritual). A VAS also recorded practitioner confidence in evolution of Dr Samuel Hahnemann’s observations and their assessment as a reflective tool. thoughts regarding clinical changes occurring in patients after taking a homeopathic prescription.2 Hahnemann’s ideas were What is HELAT? subsequently developed by Dr Constantine Hering,3 then latterly emphasised by Dr James Tyler Kent.4 These ‘rules’ suggest The HELAT flowchart aims to allocate any symptom presented that following a homeopathic constitutional remedy, healing by a patient after taking the remedy to one of eleven possible occurs by stimulating the patient’s ‘vital force’ which responds categories coded A – K, which are then simplified into four by eliciting a distinct and consistent pattern.5,6 Hering’s Law categories: stipulates that during a curative response to a prescription, symptoms improve in the following way: 1.

  • Discussion Samuel Hahnemann Was a Scientist. His Writings Appear To
    Foundation Course in Medical Homeopathy (Dr Russell Malcolm & RLHIM Team ) Discussion Samuel Hahnemann was a scientist. His writings appear to reveal a fundamental belief in God, but in his day to day work he was humanistic in outlook and had great difficulty reconciling human suffering with the medicines available to him. His writings indicate how distressed he became when he perceived the damage that inappropriate treatment inflicted on vulnerable patients. His indignation was heightened by the knowledge that death and suffering caused by poor medical treatment, could be prevented, if medical practice was more self-critical and the knowledge base was more reliable. One of the few medical writers that Hahnemann had respect for, was the English Physician Thomas Sydenham. Sydenham had been working and writing around 140 years earlier, but had made a conscious decision to apply the scientific principles of Francis Bacon. The epistemology of clinical medicine relies heavily on observations of how ill patients respond to a treatment. Reliable conclusions can be drawn only when comparable cases are treated systematically, with preparations that are standardised. In addition the clinical observations require to be confirmed in comparable cases and compared to similar groups of individuals who are either treated differently, or left untreated. Sydenham provided ways of identifying and classifying illness into diagnostic groups and also conducted clinical trials. His most notable discovery concerned the use of Peruvian bark (quinine) in the early clinical stages of infection (epidemic haemorrhagic viral fevers, plague). By carefully recording the circumstances of each case, he was able to determine that the mortality was much higher in patients whose fever was suppressed with quinine in the first stages of the infection.

  • Taking the Case of Homeopathy Juliet Louise
    PRACTITIONER BASED INQUIRY: TAKING THE CASE OF HOMEOPATHY JULIET LOUISE SMITH A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Bournemouth University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Bournemouth University January 2012 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with its author and due acknowledgement must always be made of the use of any material contained in, or derived from, this thesis. ABSTRACT JULIET L SMITH PRACTITIONER BASED INQUIRY: TAKING THE CASE OF HOMEOPATHY After twenty years of practising and teaching homeopathy, I am concerned that research into treatment by professional homeopaths has become stifled by evidence based medicine discourse. Homeopathy’s distinguishing features are obscured by erroneous assumptions that a homeopathic prescription is subject to the same biochemical pathways as pharmacological medication. Homeopaths are urged by external parties to ‘prove homeopathy works’ on biomedical terms. This reflexive inquiry is an attempt to redress the balance. From postmodern and pragmatic perspectives I reflexively engage with professional experiences (Smith, 2009) as a means of articulating practitioner based knowledge (Freshwater and Rolfe, 2001, Rolfe et al., 2001). The subjectivity of the practitioner researcher is transformed from a research problem into an opportunity to critically examine practitioner experience (Lees and Freshwater, 2008). The research process is a focus for the inquiry itself, with the intention of creating an open text that invites participation from the reader (Denzin and Lincoln, 1994). I ‘take the case’ of my own practice and its wider context, and enact a synergy of homeopathic practice and research methodologies.

  • THE NEW ZEALAND MEDICAL JOURNAL Journal of the New Zealand Medical Association
    THE NEW ZEALAND MEDICAL JOURNAL Journal of the New Zealand Medical Association New Zealanders’ favourite natural health products are ineffective Significant numbers of adults and children use one or more forms of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), and the industry is worth billions of dollars globally. 1,2 There are a plethora of different therapies and products, but the vast majority are either not biologically plausible and/or not support by research evidence. e.g.,3–5 Based on feedback from talks to patient groups on the subject, from local health professionals and the media, it is apparent that some natural health products are particularly popular with the New Zealand public. These therapies and products are often advertised in local newspapers and on radio and are usually manufactured in New Zealand, which may be driving demand. They include: Colloidal silver—consists of tiny silver particles suspended in a liquid base and is taken orally, sprayed on the skin or even injected intravenously. Products are marketed as being beneficial for the immune system and for serious diseases including cancer, HIV and pneumonia. Silver does have some antimicrobial actions, but not only is there no clinical evidence of any efficacy for these serious indications, products have been shown to contain widely variable amounts of silver and can cause argyria —dangerous and untreatable silver poisoning. Deer velvet—a dietary supplement made from the antlers of deer that have been surgically removed whilst they are still growing. The idea that deer velvet has healing properties likely originates from the fact that as it is the only mammalian organ with the ability to regenerate itself, if used as dietary supplement it will confer health benefits.

I first heard of the Bach Flower Remedies back in about 1977 and was immediately interested. I have always been a flower lover and the idea of healing with the energy of flowers really appealed to me. I bought some remedies from a Chemist in Sydney and treated myself. I also read Edward Bach's little book Heal Thyself, and this book really impressed and inspired me.
