What Nobel Laureates said on Homeopathy June 5, 2012 · homeopathy

Authors Dr. Nancy Malik BHMS

Nobel laureates, doctors, scientists, professors and science writers had plenty to say on homeopathy. Nobel Laureates agreed that there’s strong evidence for Homeopathy [click to tweet]. Homeopathic remedies act as they are supposed to. By the end of year 2013, there have been 5 Nobel laureates in support of Homeopathy, 1 in opposition and 857 have not stated any opinion on Homeopathy. 1. Emil Adolf von Behring (1905)

The Father of Immunology Emil Adolf von Behring (1854–1917) won the first Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine in 1901 for his discovery of the diphtheria antitoxin. FATHER OF IMMUNOLOGY Emil Behring asked to suppress his successful work on Homeopathy. He discovered that homeopathic medicine enhances immunogenic activity. Behring wrote: “Samuel Hahnemann was right when he took his starting point in the symptoms of patients.” Ref: Coulter, Harris L, Divided Legacy: A History of the Schism in Medical Thought, Volume IV: TwentiethCentury Medicine: The Bacteriological Era. The North Atlantic Books, Berkley, 1994, p. 96 In 1892 Behring actually experimented with serial (homeopathic) dilutions and found paradoxically enhanced immunogenic activity, but he was advised to suppress this experiment due to the aid and comfort it would provide to homeopaths. Only after he won the Nobel Prize did he feel comfortable in making public these experiments. In 1905, Behring admitted that colleagues remonstrated with him not to make such remarks public ‘since it was grist for the mill of homeopathy’. Ref: ibid p.97 Behring broke from orthodox medical tradition by recognizing the value of the homeopathic law of similar in 1905 https://drnancymalik.wordpress.com/2012/06/05/nobelprizewinnersonhomeopathy/

Behring concludes, ‘If I were confronted with a hitherto incurable disease and could see no way to treat it other than with homeopathy, I can assure you that I would not be deterred from following this course by dogmatic considerations’. Ref: http://sueyounghistories.com/archives/2008/07/08/emiladolfvonbehringandhomeopathy2/ 2. Brian David Josephson (1997)

Nobel Laureate – Physics 1973 “Simpleminded analysis may suggest that water, being a fluid, cannot have a structure of the kind that such a picture would demand. But cases such as that of liquid crystals, which while flowing like an ordinary fluid can maintain an ordered structure over macroscopic distances, show the limitations of such ways of thinking. There have not, to the best of my knowledge, been any refutations of homeopathy that remain valid after this particular point is taken into account.” Dr. Brian D. Josephson’s (Emeritus Professor, University of Cambridge) responding to an article in the New Scientist (October 18, 1997) Ref: How Homeopathic Medicines Work: Nanopharmacology At Its Best 3.

Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2008

“Nobel Laureate Luc Montagnier is to science what homeopathy is to medicine” ~Nancy Malik Interdisciplinary Sciences: Life Sciences (SpringerL ink) Nanostructures in highly diluted biological samples of bacteria and virus DNA produces electromagnetic signals (2009) FULL TEXT Luc Montagnier observed that potentised bacteria and virus DNA sequence emits electromagnetic signals (low frequency radio waves) at 5C and 6C potencies and forms specific nanostructures which lasts 48 hours and are responsible for the EM effects measured. The EM signature changed with dilution levels but was unaffected by the initial concentration and remained even after the remaining DNA fragments were destroyed by chemical agents. However the EM signal was sensitive to heat over 70 degrees C and freezing 80 degrees C. Not only that, DNA sequences were recreated from its EM signature in pure water. That means EM signals were transmitted to pure water (that never had a DNA in it) placed in a container nearby in 18 hours. He reproduced his results 12 times. Discussion on Luc Montagnier paper by Society of Homeopaths, Institute of Science in Society,Homeopathy World Community Dr. Luc Montagnier, the French virologist said about homeopathy, “High Dilutions of something are not nothing…” Nobel laureate Montagnier says homeopathic medicine is “real” phenomenon & Benveniste is today’s Galileo Nobel laureate Luc Montagnier escapes intellectu al terrorism and he currently works as a fulltime professor at Shanghai Jiaotong University in China. He, in an interview in Science (24 Dec 2010) said, “”I am told that some people have reproduced Benveniste’s results (showing effects from homeopathic doses), but they [Europe] are afraid to publish it [homeopathy] because of the intellectu¬¬al terror from people who don’t understand it.” He concluded the interview by saying, “These are real phenomena which deserve further study.” It shows intellectu al terror the socalled science puts up on homeopathy and homeopaths Water has a memory Nobel Prize Winner does homeopathic study; with supportive findings.

Twice nominated for Nobel Peace Prize 2004/5 “Water has a remarkable capacity to register and conserve information, as indicated by, amongst other things, homeopathic remedies that remain effective even when not a single molecule of the original substance remains in a dilution”, Dr. Ervin Laszlo, Professor of ‘Systems Theory’ and the author of book ‘Science and the Akashic Field’, 2004, p. 53. 5. Rabindranath Tagore (1936)

Nobel Prize in Literature 1913 “I have long been an ardent believer in the science of Homeopathy and i fell happy that it has got now a greater hold in India than even in the land of its origin. It is not merely a collection of a few medicines but a real science with a rational philosophy as its base. We require more scientific interest and inquiry into the matter with special stress upon the Indian environment.” Ref: Bagchi, A. K. Rabindranath Tagore and His Medical World.

Nobel Peace Prize 1979 Mother Teresa added homeopathic care to the services at her missions. She opened her first charitable homeopathic dispensary in Calcutta in 1950. At present, four charitable homeopathic dispensaries are run under the guidance of the Mother’s Missionaries of Charity Ref: Dana Ullman, The Homeopathic Revolution: WhyFamous people and cultural heroes love homeopathy 7. Mahatma Gandhi (1936)

Nominated 5 times Nobel Peace Prize between 19371948 “Homeopathy is the latest and refined method of treating patients economically and nonviolently. Government must encourage and patronize it in our country. Late Dr. Hahnemann was a man of superior intellectual power and means of saving of human life having a unique medical nerve. I bow before his skill and the Herculean and humanitarian labour he did. His memory wakes us again and you are to follow him, but the opponents hate the existence of the principles and practice of homeopathy which in reality cures a larger percentage of cases than any other method of treatment and it is beyond all doubt safer and more economical and the most complete medical science.” Mahatama Gandhi, 30 Aug 1936 https://drnancymalik.wordpress.com/2012/06/05/nobelprizewinnersonhomeopathy/

So that makes it all look as though the science is plausible then? In actual fact, all the real science so far has failed to demonstrate that homeopathy is effective at all. Yes – I have seen it ‘work’ too – but then again people often get better without any treatment at all, and I recognise that personal testimony is worth next to nothing. That is why doubleblind trials are carried out. It removes all the bias from the experiment and proves what is intuitively obvious – that no known mechanism explains homeopathy. You can get an idea of the quality of the science on this topic from the critique at : http://www.somethingsurprising.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/mixing sciencesbadly.html

Upto the end of year 2010, there have been 299 studies published in 114 medical journals (92 integrative, 9 homeopathy and 13 CAM journals) including 11 meta analysis, 8 systematic reviews including 1 cochrane review (out of approximately 20 systematic reviews published) and 81 RCT (68 DBRPCT + 2 SBRPCT + 6 DBRCT + 1 RPCT + 4 RCT) out of approx 225 RCT published) in evidence of homoeopathy to produce significant to substantial health benefits in a wide array of health conditions. https://drnancymalik.wordpress.com/article/scientific researchinhomeopathy/

You people are still pooh pooohing without solid evidences against Homoeopathy if you have guts then must prove those experiments upon your self and see the results if u r serious enough iam not mentioning about paid anti homoeopathy gimmicks

Even Edzard Ernst, who is fond of by many septics, published two papers in favour of homeopathy 1. Phlebology “Complementary Treatment of Varicose Veins: A Randomised, Placebo controlled, Doubleblind Trial” Edzard Ernst, T. Saradeth, K.L. Resch, 1990, 157163. Three doses of a popular German combination of eight homeopathic medicines were given daily for 24 days. Measures were venous filling time, leg volume, and subjective symptoms. The study found that venous filling time improved in those given the homeopathic medicines by 44%, while it deteriorated in the placebo group by 18%. Other measures also had significant differences. Linde OR=2.6 in favour of homeopathy, Linde Quality=1 2. Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology Homeopathy for postoperative ileus (1997) Barnes, Edzard Ernst 6 trials, 776 patients, medicines: Opium, Arnica, Raphanus sativus, China, Pyrogenum. Two of the four studies that also measured time to first faeces reported a positive effect for homeopathy. A metaanalysis of all six included studies revealed a statistically significant effect in favour of homeopathy for time to first flatus (weighted mean difference (WMD) 7.4; 95% CI 4.0 to 10.8; p
