Translational value
Dilutions and homeopathic dilutions may seem similar to a layman, but these are entirely different from a homeopathic and scientific point of view.
The debate is decades old, and so is the research!
- In this study concluded in 1996, Dittman J and Harisch G undertook a series of experiments on cytochrome P450 2E1 enzyme activity taken from microsomal preparations from rats. The model was via hydroxylation of the synthetic substrate p-nitrophenol to p-nitrocatechol.
- The enzymatic activities were studied to see the influence of Arsenicum album and Kali cyanatum in simple dilutions as well as homeopathic potentized dilutions (ultrahigh dilutions).
- Significant differences were found between the effects caused by homeopathic potencies (D) and equally concentrated dilutions on the catalytic activities of cytochrome P450 2E1, glutathione-S-transferases, and uricase.
It was concluded that, “The results obtained suggest that these three enzyme systems are appropriate detection systems to hunt out differing effects of differently prepared dilutions of specific test substances.”
