Professors at the Medical University of Vienna show that homeopathic
medicines have significant effect on gene expression!

AIM AND METHOD: To investigate the influence of Nux vomica and Calendula
officinalis on HB-EGF-like growth factor gene expression in KATO-III cells
under the stimulation of H. pylori strain N6 using real-time PCR with and
without addition of Nux vomica and Calendula officinalis as a 10c or 12c
potency.
RESULTS: Baseline expression and stimulation were similar to previous
experiments, addition of Nux vomica 10c and Calendula officinalis 10c in a
43% ethanolic solution led to a significant reduction of H. pylori induced
increase in gene expression of HB-EGF (reduced to 53.12+/-0.95% and
75.32+/-1.16% vs. control; p<0.05), respectively.
Nux vomica 12c reduced HB-EGF gene expression even in dilutions beyond
Avogadro's number (55.77+/-1.09%; p<0.05). Nux vomica 12c in a 21.5% ethanol
showed a smaller effect (71.80+/-3.91%, p<0.05).
This effect was only be observed when the drugs were primarily prepared in
ethanol, not in aqueous solutions. The data suggest that both drugs prepared
in ethanolic solution are potent inhibitors of H. pylori induced gene
expression.
