Desenvolvimento de técnica GDV (Gas Discharge Visualization) para estudo da homeopatia

Abstract

The subject of highly dilute solutions or also known as homeopathic solutions/ medicines has caused much discussion in the scientific community. This is because dilute and succussion becomes solute increasingly diluted to 12 dilutions (1/100 dilution) reaching Avogadro's number (6.02 x 10-23). Although, there is disbelief because of this fact, several articles in the human, animal and plants area proving to the action and efficiency of high dilutions in biological systems, including above Avogadro's number. However, despite the clinical facts prove that the drugs have action in biological systems, there are no studies proving that homeopathic medicines are different from dilute solutions. The objective of this experiment was to develop a methodology to verify if Natrum muriaticum, Apis melifica and Arnica montana medicines behaves differently from each other and from hight-dilute solutions, using GDV-technique (Gas Discharge Visualization). Drops of homeopathic solutions and dilutions received the photonic shooting from Tesla coil and resulting energy captured by camera (CCD) and interpreted by a specific software.The software parameters obtained were: area, average intensity, spatial fractality length of isoline, isoline average radius, shape coefficient and isoline entropy. In all the studied parameters there was homeopathic dinamizations that differentiated of control. Thus, our methodology was able to discriminate effectively between homeopathies and only dilute solutions using the GDV-technique. The methodology developed here opens a new front of studies involving highly dilute solutions.
