[Soroush Ebrahimi]

Dear All,

Here is link taking you to a good research paper which will probably mobilise the anti homeopathy brigade into a new spasm of denial. I’ve also
included the abstract (below). Please pass the information on to everyone on your networks.

Thanks!

Antimalarial potential of China 30 and Chelidonium 30 in combination therapy against lethal rodent malaria parasite: Plasmodium berghei.

Rajan A, Bagai U.

Abstract

Homeopathy is a therapeutic method based on the application of similia principle, utilizing ultra-low doses of medicinal substances made from
natural products. The present study has been designed to evaluate the efficacy of Cinchona officinalis (Chin.) 30C and Chelidonium majus (Chel.)
30C in combination therapy against lethal murine malaria.

Five groups having twelve BALB/c mice each were administered orally with 0.2 ml/mouse/day of different drugs, and their antimalarial potential was evaluated by Peter's 4-day test.

The combination of Chin. 30 and Chel. 30 exhibited complete parasite clearance by the 28th day post-inoculation which was similar to the positive control [artesunate (4 mg/kg)+sulphadoxine-primethamine (1.2 mg/kg)] group.

Both the groups exhibited enhanced mean survival time (MST) 28±0 days,whereas, the mice of infected control group survived up to 7.6±0.4 days only.

The preventive and curative activities of the combination in comparison to the positive controls [pyrimethamine (1.2 mg/Kg) and chloroquine (20 mg/Kg), respectively] were also evaluated. The combination had a significant preventive activity (p info@a-r-h.org
