The survey also looked at the need for political support for homeopathic products, with 56% of all respondents and 90% of users saying it was “very important” or “quite important” for politicians to pay attention to homeopathic medicines.

  • The Spin of Electrons and the Proof for the Action of Homeopathic Remedies
    DOI: 10.25122/jml-2020-0140 Journal of Medicine and Life Vol. 13, Issue 3, July-September 2020, pp. 278–282 The Spin of Electrons and the Proof for the Action of Homeopathic Remedies George Vithoulkas1*, Camelia Berghian-Grosan2 1. University of the Aegean, Mytilene, Greece 2. National Institute for Research and Development of Isotopic and Molecular Technologies, Cluj-Napoca, Romania * Corresponding Author: George Vithoulkas University of the Aegean, 81100 Mytilene, Greece E-mail: [email protected] Received: June 8th, 2020 – Accepted: August 17th, 2020 Abstract In the last 200 years, the action of the highly diluted homeopathic remedies has been proved by their curative effect on the human organism. In this work, a hypothesis concerning the mystifying question about this action is proposed. The hypothesis suggests that any pathology, either functional or structural, can be detected in the change of the overall energy of the human body. Such energy is constituted by fields of force according to quantum physics. More precisely, every disturbance of the human organism affects the spin on electrons of different elements within the human body, and their reset could take place with an agent similar to the electromagnetic force that created the problem. This statement has been proved by the correct homeopathic treatments, as it can be seen in many published cases. The hypothesis is based on two approaches, the idea of the spin of electrons and the vital force, and their scientific relevance. Keywords: Electron spin, vital force, electromagnetic influences, levels of health, homeopathy. Introduction of molecules, the materials or larger structures [4, 6].

Ken (or Lord Aaron Kenneth Ward Atherton, to give him his proper title) is one such person. He decided that we all needed a strong antidote to the ‘no evidence’ claims so frequently vaunted by the anti-homeopathy campaigners, and he organised a truly unforgettable one-day event (held at the Royal Society of Medicine, London), to remind us that Lionel (LRM) has been a homeopath for ‘proper’ science can be fascinating, inspiring and truly uplifting. over 20 years, training at the now defunct Ken’s impressive line-up of presenters were all internationally re- London College of Homeopathy, and the nowned scientists, including two Nobel laureates, and the theme Orion course in advanced homeopathy.

On the other hand, the issue is very complex and cannot be covered by focussing on single aspects. The role of homeopathy when striving for options to treat diseased animals and reduce the use of antibi- otics in organic and conventional livestock farming (cattle, pig and poultry production) has been as- sessed by a review on preconditions for the use of homeopathy in farm practice (Part A); a review of published research studies in the field of homeopathy (Part B), and by investigations regarding the co- operation between research bodies in this field (Part C). The analysis revealed the following outcomes: Part A: There is evidence that homeopathic remedies are widely used in treating food producing animals, independent of the production method. According to the EU Regulation on organic agriculture, homeo- pathic products shall only be used in preference to chemically-synthesised veterinary treatment if their therapeutic effect is effective .
