Abstract BackgroundBackground: Hyperuricaemia plays a significant role in the development and pathogenesis of several metabolic and systemic disorders including metabolic syndrome, hypertension, stroke and atherosclerosis. Lycopodium clavatum is the most widely used drug in homoeopathy for treating hyperuricaemia and gout. However, its mechanism of action in reducing serum uric acid remains uncertain. ObjectiveObjective: The objective of the study was to study the potential role of homoeopathic preparation of Lycopodium clavatum in different potencies on monosodium urate crystallisation in vitro. MethodsMethods: Spectrophotometric crystallisation assay was carried out on a stock solution of 5 ml of uric acid after its preparation. The time course of the optical density was measured in a standard solution and values were measured every 5 min after agitation with cyclo-vortex mixer. The optical density values were also measured in the homoeopathic preparation of Lycopodium clavatum in different potencies with same method. Inhibiting effect of this medicine was found from graphs by measuring slope of nucleation and aggregation from optical density value and the percentage inhibition exerted by the proteins was calculated. ResultsResults: Spectrophotometric analysis showed all potencies of Lycopodium clavatum inhibited aggregation of monosodium urate crystals with a maximum inhibition at 200C and 1M potency. ConclusionConclusion: We found that the homoeopathic medicine Lycopodium clavatum could be effective in inhibiting the formation of monosodium urate crystals in vitro and also causes the dissolution of crystals, especially in high potencies. Further studies are required to understand the exact mechanism of action.

Abstract There is a debate on the merits of modern vaccination in relation to Hahnemann’s position regarding this practice in his time. The authors of a recent Letter to the Editor argue that Hahnemann was in favour of vaccination and that we need to assess vaccination objectively. I agree with both of these positions, but disagree as to the details regarding what is meant by these two conclusions. I argue that Hahnemann made clear that vaccination did not provide immunity

Abstract Recent publications in various medical journals have focused on coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), a disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which has gravely impacted the entire world. But hardly anyone discusses the consequences of its suppression by the widespread use of covid vaccines as a mandatory measure in almost all countries of the world. Through your esteemed journal, I would like to draw the attention of the entire homoeopathy fraternity towards this, in light of the Hahnemannian philosophy and propose anti-miasmatic treatment of the same

Introduction: Any circumstance that alters the balance of oestrogen and progesterone leads to excessive, prolonged estrogenic stimulation, or preventing the counteracting effects of progesterone causing various pathological conditions in the reproductive system, as a result. Women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) have mostly anovulatory cycles and low serum progesterone levels. Endometrial hyperplasia is most often due to excess oestrogen without progesterone. The clinical significance of chronic oestrogen secretion is an increased risk of endometrial hyperplasia. A striking feature of uterine fibroids (UFs) is their dependency on the ovarian oestrogen and progesterone. Existing treatments are mostly directed at the symptoms but not at the syndrome itself. Case Summary: A patient suffering from PCOS, with Endometrial Hyperplasia and multiple UFs, was successfully treated with the homoeopathic medicine Pulsatilla nigricans. Repeat ultrasonography showed normal endometrial thickness, no hyperechoic or hypoechoic lesions in uterus and no ovarian PCOS morphology after treatment. Thus, the usefulness of homeopathic medicines for the treatment of multi-morbid pathologies related to reproductive system of women is demonstrated.
