A homoeopathic drug proving of ivory from the male African Elephant

Author:
Forbes, Barry Abstract: Introduction

This dissertation entails a homoeopathic proving of ivory from the male
African elephant (Loxodonta africana) 30CH with a subsequent comparison
to Lac Loxodonta africana. Objectives The primary objective of this
proving was to determine the effects of homoeopathically prepared ivory
from the male African elephant (Loxodonta africana) in a 30CH dilution
and was achieved by administering the remedy to a group of healthy
individuals (provers) who will document all symptoms that arise as a
result of taking the remedy. These symptoms will be used to identify the
therapeutic indications of homoeopathic ivory. With these specific
indications being documented the remedy can then be utilized in the sick
individual, that present with similar symptoms, to induce a cure. A
further objective of this proving is to report any variation that may
exist in the comparison of two remedies, namely Lac Loxodonta africana
(milk derived from the African elephant) and the remedy used in this
proving, ivory from the male African elephant (Loxodonta africana).
Methodology The substance was triturated up until the 3CH and
subsequently converted into a liquid potency to be potentised up until
the 30CH. Granules were then impregnated with the 30CH liquid potency.
Ten impregnated granules were then placed in each individual ii lactose
powder sachets. A total of six powders were dispensed to the proving
participants. The proving was conducted as a double blind placebo
controlled study with a total of twenty-six (26) provers that met the
inclusion criteria (Appendix A). The group was made up of both
homoeopathic students as well as the general public of varying ages,
race and gender. The total group was randomly divided into two groups,
twenty (20) of which received the homoeopathic remedy, the remainder (6)
received placebo. A full case history of each prover was taken before
commencing the proving as well as on completion of the study. Each
individual prover kept a journal, starting a week before the proving,
which was continued while taking the remedy and ceased when all symptoms
had abated. Once all provers had completed the proving, the information
received from the provers through the journals from both groups was
collated, assessed and analyzed. A comparison was then made between this
proving and Lac Loxodonta africana to assess whether any similarities or
differences were evident. The comparison was made on symptom
similarities and rubric analysis.

Results The proving of ivory from the African elephant (Loxodonta
africana) revealed a variety of symptoms. A total of 32 systems were
affected in the twenty provers who received the remedy. 716 symptoms
were recorded, 83 of which were new symptoms. The systems that were
predominately affected were the mind, head and extremities. Many
symptoms were confirmed to be similar to those identified in the proving
of Lac Loxodonta africana, though differences were also acknowledged.

Now that's a tease! Anyone know what the difference were?

Hi Lynn,
Thank you. I actually saved that document, when I found it online.
Shannon, if you do a search of the remedy you will find the article. It's over 200 pages. Towards the end I think is the differential.
Thanks again

Got it, thank you! What a wonderful project and article!
