V INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON HOMEOPATHY OF UFRJ
PROCEEDINGS
XXXIV GIRI - GROUPE INTERNATIONAL DE RECHERCHE SUR I’INFINITÉSIMAL

Welcome to the
V International Workshop
on Homeopathy
The V International Workshop on Homeopathy of UFRJ (IWH) is an academic event dedicated to stu-
dents and professionals from different fields of knowledge: pharmacists, biologists, physicians, veteri-
narians, chemists, physicists, etc. Homeopathy is recognized by the Brazilian Health Ministry as an In-
tegrative Medicine, and Brazil was the first country in the world to publish a policy focused on these
medical practices (https://bvsms.saude.gov.br/bvs/publicacoes/pnpic_access_expansion_initiative.
pdf). Besides the educational level, homeopathy in Brazil is also included in undergraduate and post-
graduate health courses (stricto and lato sensu), primarily regarding the following careers: medicine,
dentistry, veterinary and pharmacy. The Faculty of Pharmacy at Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro
(UFRJ) has in its curriculum a specific course in which the Good Manufacturing Procedures (GMP) of
homeopathy has been taught since 2004, contributing significantly for the spread of homeopathy
knowledge in the scientific environment. In 2013, a Public Homeopathic Pharmacy was implemented
at the Faculty of Pharmacy, allowing patients to receive homeopathic medicines prepared with GMP
and at affordable prices. Other actions, such as international agreements between UFRJ, foreign univer-
sities and research centers, have been signed to promote the research and development of homeopathic
science. From 2016 to 2020, four bilateral international agreements were officially registered at Interna-
tional Affairs Office (DRI/UFRJ; www.dri.ufrj.br/index.php/pt/relint) with Italy, Indian (AYUSH Minis-
ter), Switzerland and Germany, expanding the homeopathic partnerships to all around the world. The
Homeopathy International Workshop has a strict correlation with these international initiatives, and it
has always been organized by the Pharmacy College under our general coordination. The first edition
happened in 2011. Since then, every two years a new event is organized with
the support of governmental funding (FAPERJ and CAPES), and also with
donations from national and international pharmacies, and homeopathic
laboratories. In 2021, the 5th edition was organized in partnership with the
International Research Group on Very Low Dose and High Dilution Effects
(GIRI; https://giri-society.org/), under the theme of: “The Scientific Evidence
of Homeopathy in Health Care”.We are incredibly proud about this new part-
nership, and we are hoping for fruitful, pleasant, and unforgettable moments
to all the people interested in therapeutic potential, scientific evidence and
regulatory aspects related to homeopathy in Brazil and in the world. Carla Holandino
FULL PROFESSOR.
Finally, we should to highighlith: all abstracts presented in the XXXIV
FACULDADE DE FARMÁCIA,
GIRI as “Oral Presentation” are published in this special IJHDR issue: UNIVERSIDADE FEDERAL
DO RIO DE JANEIRO.

V INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON HOMEOPATHY OF UFRJ
PROCEEDINGS
XXXIV GIRI - GROUPE INTERNATIONAL DE RECHERCHE SUR I’INFINITÉSIMAL

Welcome to the
XXXIV GIRI Symposium
GIRI’s meeting this year will be the 34th meeting of our organization. What does this mean? Be-
sides the fact that the International Group of Very Low Dose and High Dilution Effects itself is
older than many of the participants who will attend the meeting, this makes GIRI an organiza-
tion dedicated to homeopathy with the longest tradition. This long tradition shows that there is
a need for groups like ours that share the same passion.

The idea of GIRI is to provide connections, give possibilities to


know each other, establish joint projects, and to share the know-
how and good results, as also to discuss the experimentations that
did not lead to a clear outcome. One important aim of the GIRI’s
meeting is also the enhancement of the research quality. GIRI’s
meetings are therefore rather workshop-like events. Also for this
reason, I am very happy about the partnership between the Homeo­
pathy Workshop of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro and
GIRI. This year’s meeting will be already the second one our groups
Maria Olga Kokornaczyk
organize together. SCIENTIST PHARMACEUTICAL

I do hope that this meeting will be an inspiration and enrichment VEREIN FÜR KREBSFORSCHUNG.

Title Scientific Basis of Homeopathic Medicine
Abstract In the past few decades, the homeopathic system of medicine has been able to spark scien-
tific minds to explore the plausibility, action, and nature of this system especially on basic
and fundamental aspects. This increase in research activity is attributed to clinical efficacy
& safety of homeopathic medicines. Scientists are now keen to undertake experiments to
learn the basic nature and action of homeopathic medicines, which is evident from the
24

PROCEEDINGS

growing number of publications every year from various countries. CCRH, since its incep-
tion has been collaborating with various institutes of excellence to utilize the potential of the
best of the brains, in order to yield the maximum results. These studies aim to understand
the biological effect of homeopathic medicines; animal experimentation to assess anti-viral
properties; physicochemical studies; to standardize and optimize the process of drug man-
ufacturing and to know the presence of nanoparticles in homeopathic medicines. Council
has got some leads in accumulating biological evidence refuting the criticism that the effect
of Homeopathic medicines is equivalent to placebo. The studies ranged from finding out
nanoparticles in Homeopathic preparations, mechanistic aspects about their actions
through specific pathways and, also, explored in the areas of stem cell differentiation follow-
ing application of potentized Homeopathic medicine. The presentation will include salient
findings of such studies.

Title Integration of homeopathy in the


healthcare system in India.
Abstract Medical Pluralism is unique to health care system in India, wherein Ayurveda, Yoga, Natur-
opathy, Unani, Siddha, Sowa-Rigpa and Homeopathy (AYUSH), are recognized and admin-
istered by a dedicated Ministry of AYUSH, Govt. of India. The National Health Policy of In-
dia nurtures AYUSH systems, by strengthening infrastructure, teaching institutions,
ensuring quality control of drugs, capacity building of professionals and promoting quality
research. These systems have been integrated in primary health centers. Homeopathy is the
second most popular system being preferred by its users for reasons that are partly due to
increasing realization of its inherent virtues like ‘holism, harmless therapy and cost-effec-
tiveness’ but also partly due to the rising distrust for conventional medicine. As reported in
the National Health Profile, Homeopathy is popular and has 31% of the total AYUSH dispen-
saries. Even though homeopathic units are only 1/19th of allopathic units, the annual pa-
tient footfall in these is 1/5th of allopathic ones. At least 7 out of 10 diseases nationally rec-
ognized as burden belong in the category of commonly reported diseases in these
homeopathic dispensaries. The figures are even more for private practice, clinic consultation
with around 80% registered homeopathic physicians in private set-up. During the ongoing
COVID-19 pandemic, Homeopathic infrastructure was utilized as part of AYUSH based
public health measures. A published cross sectional mobile application-based study revealed
that Ayurveda and Homoeopathy were the most preferred systems. This model can be used
globally for the integration of Homoeopathy in health care as part of TCIM.

Abstract Conferences
Title Experiences of New Homeopathic Industry
(Bonaireswiss AG) in Switzerland.
Abstract When the new Swiss Consular group presented itself in Curitiba, they invited us to go to São
Paulo. The new Swiss representative in Paraná scheduled the interviews and visits to the indus-
tries of homeopathic products in Switzerland. The reception was good, so in 2017 we opened a
company. And in sequence we signed contracts with accountants, pharmaceuticals, and industry.
The biggest difficulty was the filling out of many forms in German for inspections by Swissmedic.

Author Buchi, DF.

Title The future of homeopathy in the


Brazilian industry and worldwide.
Abstract We will cover topics explaining about regulations for Good Manufacturing and Control
Practices, which are the same for the Allopathic Industry and the Homeopathic Industry.
Another issue to be pointed out is the origin of homeopathic ingredients and the difficulty
of acquiring them. Pharmaceutical professionals working in both industries NEED to be
prepared for Industry 4.0. The generalist pharmacist 4.0 needs to know homeopathic thera-
py and pharmaceutical technology to interact in the 4th Industrial Revolution! It does not
matter if the pharmacist “believes” or “accepts” Homeopathy, it is a matter of knowledge and
information!

Author Viriato, EP.

Title Scientific Evidence in Homeopathy – The Evidence Map.


Abstract The evidence map in homeopathy was elaborated based on the analysis of systematic re-
views and meta-analyses in clinical research, published between 1991 and 2021, using the
PubMed, EMBASE, BVS, and CINAHL databases. This review process does eligible 51 sys-
tematic reviews and highlights the evidence of homeopathic effectiveness for several condi-
tions and also for specific medicines, such as fibromyalgia, otitis media, diarrhea, respiratory
infections, post-menopausal syndrome, gastrointestinal disorders, and attention deficit hy-
peractivity disorder (ADHD) in children.

Title Series of experiments performed with the droplet


evaporation method on low potencies.
Abstract Homeopathic preparations in low potencies, containing still measurable quantities of the
starting substance, constitute a unique research field in homeopathic basic research. Here a
series of experiments is presented carried out by means of the droplet evaporation method
(DEM), investigating the specificity of the method, and presumed effects of the succussion
procedure applied in the production of homeopathic preparations.

Authors Maria Olga Kokornaczyk, Sandra Würtenberger and Stephan Baumgartner

Title Perspectives of Homeopathic Industry in the World.


Abstract The homeopathic products have a strong foundation in Brazil, in Europe and in many other
countries. They have a strong legal frame in the EU Directive 2001/83 as well as in the regulation
for dynamized medicinal products in Brazil and other countries. The quality standards are well
covered by the European Pharmacopoeia and other national pharmacopoeias. The sector contin-
ues to work on appropriate standards to ensure the availability for patients on the markets.

Title Homeopathic treatment of Autism on the children


psychosocial care center Taboão da Serra – SP.
Abstract Homeopathic treatment initiated early, from early childhood, by psychiatrists, neurologists
and especially pediatricians, using a systemic and pathophysiological approach leads to bet-
ter outcomes for children with Autism, increased its biological capabilities of maintaining
health and self-care, and promotes health care humanization.

Title Can Nosodes be potential candidates of


Immunization and Immunomodulation?
Abstract Since Immunization is currently made possible only by vaccination, both have become syn-
onymous. There must be other ways to induce immune response and immunomodulation
for the prevention and treatment of diseases. One of the learning’s from the journey of de-
veloping BiosimCovex (COVID-19 Nosode) is the proven evidence that it was shown COV-
ID-19 specific prophylactic efficacy. Clubbed with the author’s previous research, there are
adequate leads suggesting that the nosodes have untapped potentials for immunization and
immunomodulation if targeted research is pursued aggressively in collaboration with mul-
ti-system scientists.

Author Shah, R.

Title Recommendations for fundamental research into


homeopathic preparations.
Abstract The aim of this project is to provide recommendations to promote good quality, statistically
sound, reproducible basic research into specific effects of homeopathic preparations. For
this, we gathered input from experts in the field. Different key aspects of homeopathy re-
search are discussed. All these aspects together provide a strong foundation for building
meaningful research protocols which take account of the latest thinking in the field and
provide a backdrop for meaningful comparison and critique of research protocols.

Title Investigating homeopathic potencies using solvatochromic


dyes – history and development.
Abstract A methodology using solvatochromic dyes to investigate homeopathic potencies at a physi-
co-chemical level has been developed over the past 10 years. The history of this approach is
discussed, and significant results and advances presented. The chemistry of solvatochromic
dyes and other π-conjugated dipolar compounds as molecular reporters providing informa-
tion about the process of succussion is examined. A number of insights into the nature of
potencies have already been made using these compounds. These insights include the prob-
able electric-field-like nature of potencies and the finding that a common mechanism seems
to operate in the interaction between potencies and all dyes so far examined. This interac-
tion involves three steps – dye polarization, changes in dye ionization constants and chang-
es in dye aggregation levels. Recent experiments have revealed that the action of potencies
on solvatochromic dyes is context-dependent with potencies showing reversals of effect
depending upon conditions such as dye concentration and pH. Potencies seem to push dye
systems in the direction they are already tending towards and thereby mirror what happens
in clinical settings with patients and primary homeopathic drug actions (exacerbations of
symptoms). The implications of these results are discussed in relation to future studies. The
degree of effect of potencies on solvatochromic dyes has recently been shown to depend on
the natural logarithm of the succussion number (S/N) from 6c to CM. Plots of the magni-
tude of dye absorbance changes vs ln S/N are linear. As many processes in nature are ln de-
pendent, this may indicate that with potentisation we are dealing with a phenomenon that
occurs in nature but has yet to be discovered.

Title A fresh look at the concept of Genus Epidemicus: findings


from the Clificol Project.
Abstract The Clificol® COVID-19 Support Project aimed at tackling some of the core questions in home-
opathy, including the notion of Genus Epidemicus. This concept was investigated by analyzing the
data collected from China, to explore whether presenting symptoms cluster into distinct groups.
The cluster analysis found two to be the optimum number of clusters in that population corre-
sponding to the two main remedies prescribed: Gelsemium and Bryonia. This was the first study
that investigated the notion of Genus Epidemicus by using modern statistical techniques. The
notion of a single COVID-19 Genus Epidemicus did not apply to this population.

Title Homeopathy and Ecology
Abstract The health of air, water, soil, plants, animals and men is the result of an integrated and dy-
namic process. In this sense, a therapeutic tool capable of acting at a subtle level is needed,
stimulating the organism to reestablish this dynamic, and Homeopathy is one of the possi-
bilities to do so, since this science, developed by Samuel Hahnemann, is able to dynamically
help the organism in order to improve their functions and sensations.

Exposure of Artemia salina to glyphosate


and bioremediation by isotherapy
Mirian Nagai B a c k g r o u n d : Artemia salina, an ecotoxicity bioindicator, is a micro-
crustacean belonging to the order Anostraca. Glyphosate is an herbicide
Andreia Pinto
widely used to control weeds. However, its intoxication can cause serious
Adalberto Von Ancken damage to human health and the balance of the environment, given its
Ednar Coimbra
effects as an endocrine disruptor. Objective: verify the possible protec-
tion of the artemia exposed to glyphosate by the addition of its isothera-
Sandra Pinto pic into water, by means of the evaluation of the behavioral and morpho-
Suham Nowrooz logical features of nauplii and of the physical properties of remedies and
treated water, to elucidate the involved mechanisms. Methodology: Ar-
Ivana Sufredini temia salina cysts were kept in culture bottles containing artificial sea
Maria Martha Bernardi water containing glyphosate at LC 10 (lethal concentration 10%), to pro-
mote hatching within 48 hours. The isotherapic preparations were insert-
Leoni Bonamin* ed in each bottle at 10% of the total water volume. Part of the nauplii was
distributed in transparent tubes, being 10 nauplii per tube and 6 tubes
per group, for behavioral analysis, and part was collected for a detailed
morphological analysis, under an optical microscope. About 80 to 270
nauplii were analyzed per group. The reserved water was divided into
aliquots for physicochemical analysis, that is, evaluation of the water di-
pole behavior by Cartwright’s method. Results: Gly 6 CH presented selective
effects on nauplii hatching (p=0.02) and on defected/healthy ratio

fects on solvatochromic dyes, indicating that charges and ions can be
critical factors involved in the mechanism of action. Conclusion: We
concluded that the use of isotherapics could be a plausible tool to reduce
the environmental impact of the indiscriminate use of glyphosate, since
these results can be reproduced in further studies.

30 CH and distilled water (positive control) were added per liter of water
in each aquarium containing 6 liters of water, then 3 mL of medication
per aquarium, the white control received no medication and the toxic
agent. After 1 hour the drugs were added, toxic mercury (200 μg/L), 4 mL
per aquarium was added and remained so for 24 hours. All the experi-

*cpcoelho@prof.unisa.br each stage was recorded for later evaluation of movements and neurobe-
havioral changes. ANOVA was performed, followed by Tukey test, with p
<0.05. Results: Mercury produced an anxiogenic effect in animals that
were submitted to it without medication. In the vertical open field, there
was an increase in erratic movements (1.25 ± 1.0) and tremors (0.87 ±
0.35) compared to the control (0.12 ± 0.35 and 0.25 ± 0.46 respectively),
proving the toxic effect. Fishes which received the medication at 6 CH
and 30 ch showed tremors and erratic movements similar to control.
Conclusion: 200 μg/L mercury in water can cause neurobehavioral dis-
turbances in fishes, and animals receiving Mercurius 6 CH and 30 CH
ultra-diluted drug did not show neurotoxicity.

the external use of Ledum palustre 6 CH was chosen for the cleansing of
skin lesions with torpid evolution at IPD. Results and discussion: Two pa-
tients with edema and varicose ulcers were treated with the ointment of-
fered. Edema extension which was +++/4+ to both patients diminished to
+/4+ in 30 days of interval. Indeed, ulcers remained at the same shape and
size, but their bases were cleaned, without purulence. Novel clinical ses-
sions did not occur because of social distancing needed. Conclusion: It has
developed a positive perception among patients and students about the
action of homeopathic remedies. The practical teaching activity initiated
encourages students in clinical reasoning about complementary therapeu-
tic association with Homeopathy for patients whose evolution is below the
expected prognosis with conventional therapy. The clinical observation
project will be elaborated to the research ethics committee.

Ana Paula Canedo Valente 4 were diluted with 60µl of deuterated water (D2O) in 5 mm tubes. The
analyses were carried out in Bruker Ascend TM 500 MHZ spectrometer
at 288 K. Results and discussion: The Zincum metallicum and lactose T2
relaxation times were very similar, except for Zincum metallicum 8dH,
which presented a value of 1.226 in comparison to 1.036 of lactose 8dH.
The following T2 values were registered: 1.287 – 9 DH; 1.413 – 10 DH;
1.467 – 11 DH, and 1.303 – 9 DH; 1.400 – 10 DH; 1.350 -11 DH, for Zin-

Heteroisotherapic effects on the treatment against


smoking: a cognitive behavioral approach
Mary Lannes Salles Leite B a c k g r o u n d : The most common way of consuming nicotine is in tobacco
cigarettes. Nicotine causes intense addiction. The National Cancer Institute
Fortune Homsani
coordinates and executes the Tobacco Control Program in Brazil, through
Juliana Patrão de Paiva actions that encourage the adoption of healthier lifestyles. In this context,
homeopathy has used Heteroisotherapic medicines formulated according to
Rafael Tritany
the homeopathic pharmaceutical technology with scientific evidence of effi-
Carla Holandino cacy in the detoxification of substances and metals, and in the desensitization
of foods or medicines. Aims: Promote the importance of the cognitive-be-
Adriana Passos Oliveira 1
havioral approach in combination with the homeopathic treatment against
smoking. Methodology: In the initial phase of the randomized double-blind
clinical study (CEP / HUCFF / UFRJ 65622916.2.0000.5257), the effective-
ness of the 6 CH heteroisotherapeutic drug was assessed. Volunteers were
recruited and in-person welcoming meetings, using the cognitive-behavioral
approach, were carried out to inform them about the risks of smoking and
the benefits of quitting. In addition, they were supported and guided during
the smoking cessation process so that they could deal with the withdrawal
Laboratório Multidisciplinar de syndrome, the psychological dependence and the constraints associated with
Ciências Farmacêuticas and Pesquisa &
Desenvolvimento em Práticas Integrativas smoking. Results and discussion: 84 participants were selected according to
e Complementares, Faculdade de Farmácia,
Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Rio de the inclusion criteria and were divided by randomization into two groups:
Janeiro, RJ-Brasil the Test Group (heteroisotherapic medication) and the Control Group (ho-
meopathic medication Nux vomica 6 CH). Both groups will be followed for
12 months. The combination of the following approaches has led to a signifi-
cant increase in the cessation rate: I. Prepare the smoker for solving his own
issues; II. Stimulate skills to resist temptations to smoke; III. Prepare to pre-
vent relapse; IV. Prepare to deal with stress. Studies show that, regardless of
the duration of these approaches, there is an increase in the abstinence rate.
Moreover, the longer the total approach time (frequency multiplied by the
time spent on each contact), the higher the abstinence rate. On the other
hand, from a total approach time of 90 minutes on, there is no further in-
crease in the abstinence rate. Conclusion: The partial results obtained so far
demonstrate that the cognitive-behavioral approach played a decisive role in
the groups performance, favoring the treatment adherence as well as the
group cohesion around the Project’s objective, contributing to the effective-
ness of the medicine, a decreased anxiety, improved sleep, cessation or de-
crease in the number of cigarettes smoked per day and the abstinence rate.

Control of Rhipicephalus microplus ticks in


dairy cattle using homeopathic therapy
Lucas Seikichi Nascimento Oshiro 1 B a c k g r o u n d : The negative impact of Rhipicephalus microplus infesta-
tions on cattle farming is well-known. The main control method is the
Elton Bock Correa 1
use of ixodicides, which have as side effects the environmental contami-
Mônica Filomena Assis de Souza 2* nation, the selection of resistant lineages, and toxicity. Their use is also
prohibited in systems that produce organic and agroecological food.
Marco Antonio Cucco²
Such factors reinforce the importance of strengthening research related
Pedro Henrique de Souza Cucco² to the application of homeopathic principles in animal production. Aim:
Raquel Soares Juliano 3 In this setting, this work aimed at assessing the efficacy of the homeo-
pathic therapy to control Rhipicephalus microplus ticks in dairy cattle.
Karine Bonucielli Brum 4 Methodology: 63 crossbred and Girolando breed cows, 1 and 9 years of
age, naturally infested by ticks and created under a semi-intensive sys-
tem in three farms (1, 2 and 3) were assayed. The animals were divided
into three control groups and three treated groups, using the drug product
EndectoSigo® (Psorinum 12 CH, Sulphur 12 CH, Ledum palustre 12 CH,
Cina 12 CH e Apis mell. 7 CH) at a dose of 10 g/animal/day added to
mineral and/or food supplement. The visual counting of teleogines with
the size equal to or higher than four millimeters in diameter was per-

between the groups (treated and control); however, it was observed that
two ixodicide baths were required in the control group (farm 2). The plu-
viometry did not interfere with the manifestation. Conclusion: It was
concluded that the homeopathic treatment has the efficacy required to
control this tick in cattle and can be an alternative to the use of chemical
ixodicides.

The use of homeopathy and flower therapy


as an aid in the treatment of climacteric symptoms:
an integrative review

Camila Faria de Amorim Pereira 1,2* B a c k g r o u n d : Climacteric is characterized as the set of symptoms that
usually start in the period of transition from the reproductive phase to
Adriana Passos Oliveira 2
female senility, and directly impacts woman’s quality of life. Currently,
the treatments approved by the FDA for this pathology mainly involve
the use of antidepressants and hormone replacement, both having side
effects. Clinical studies carried out in 2002, showed an increased risk of
breast cancer, and other pathologies related to the prolonged use of these
drugs. The impact of the studies resulted in a greater interest in comple-
mentary and alternative medicines (CAMs), such as the use of homeop-
athy and flower remedies for the treatment of climacteric symptoms.

Lycopodium as a treatment for Urate Deposition


(gout) in birds: case report
Cideli de Paula Coelho 1,2* B a c k g r o u n d : A 3-year-old male cockatiel (Nymphicus hollandicus)
was diagnosed with joint arthritis due to hyperucemia syndrome. The
Adalberto Von Ancken 2,3
bird presented deposition of urate crystals on the synovial membrane
Sonia Regina Pinheiro 2 with inflammation of joints and tendons (tufts), causing listlessness, an-
orexia, and lameness, with difficulty in keeping perched or moving. Lab-
oratory tests displayed an increase in uric acid and creatinine phosphoki-
nase levels, and leukocytosis despite lymphopenia. Unsuccessfully, the
animal had been treated with allopathic medicine for 2 months, without
a favorable response and still developing stressful reaction to handling.
Methodology: High dilution therapy was attempted with 2 globules of
Lycopodium clavatum 30 CH /bid and Arnica montana 30 CH /bid /oral.
The most expressive tufts were removed with daily cleaning of the affect-

improvement in behavior with normal appetite. Lyc 30 CH /sid was con-
tinued and Arn 30 CH /bid to qid, depending on pain episodes, for over
30 days. The tutor authorized the case report through a consent form.
Results and discussion: Follow-up laboratory tests were performed ev-
ery three months for one year, reaching normal levels for uric acid (3.5-
11 mg/dL) and CK (30-245mg/dL) on the third measurement. The bird
presented no formation of new tufts along the second month of treat-
ment. After 12 months, the animal ingests homeopathic globules sponta-
neously and presents stable clinical presentation (Lyc 30 CH / sid / 3 times
a week) with no recurrence and without side effects nor stressful behavior.
Conclusion: In view of these results, it is considered that homeopathic
treatment is an option to be considered in the treatment of joint arthritis

tassium metabisulphite highdilution as an alternative agent for wine
preservation. Methodology: Manego Longo red variety grapes (2018/2019)
were used in order to produce the wine. The fermentation of wine took
place in one wood barrel and it lasted six months. After that, three differ-
ent treatments were prepared: WC, control wine; WH, samples of wine
added to dynamized potassium metabisulphite (30 CH); WM, wine add-

pearance, aroma and taste) was performed by two referees. Results and
discussion: The results found after six months since the beginning of the
work have showed no difference among the samples in terms of CI and
PTI. Total acidity results in the sixth month presented a smaller average
value to WH and WM (81.5 ± 0.71 mEq/L and 81.0 ± 1.41 mEq/L, re-
spectively) when compared to the total acidity of the WC (86.0 ± 1.41
mEq/L), despite no difference among them being statistically significant.
Wine preliminary evaluation showed that control wine (WC) has had
prominent acid taste e change of color, if compared to other treatments.
Conclusion: No wine degradation related to color intensity or polyphe-
nol total index has been presented by now; however, sensory attributes,
like taste and color, for the samples treated by potassium metabisulphite

due testing, replacement of the part of the plant used to prepare the
mother tincture and results that do not meet pharmacopoeia specifica-
tions. As can be seen, the quality and effectiveness of homeopathic med-
icines prepared from these tinctures may be compromised. Conclusion:
In order to guarantee consumer protection and the quality and effective-
ness of medicines, governments and regulatory agencies should require
greater commitment from suppliers in the production of homeopathic

La Gioconda Effect, Homeopathy and Self-


Organizing Factors of Biofield methodology
Silvio Leite Monteiro da Silva* 1 B a c k g r o u n d : The phenomenon of people’s attraction to Homeopathy
throughout its history is a known fact by all homeopaths. This attraction
is noted in polarization of people’s opinions, some for and some against.
People in favor of Homeopathy use dynamic drugs and contribute to the
area, for example, the development of the methodology Self-Organizing
Factors of Biofield (BioFAO). In contrast, people against Homeopathy try
to stop its use and feed endless discussions. Despite be aware of these
events, there was no prior description about the whole process identified

do Rio de Janeiro (UNIRIO) This understanding was published in a brief explanation of the phenom-
*silvioleite@gmail.com
enon exemplified by development of BioFAO. Due to similar behavior of
people that happened with another great work, which is a famous paint-
ing, the phenomenon was called La Gioconda Effect. Aims: The purpose
of this paper is to describe the La Gioconda Effect. Methodology: After
comparing both Homeopathy’s and Mona Lisa’s histories found at bib-
liographic review, the La Gioconda Effect was revealed, described quali-
tatively, and published. Results and discussion: The relationship be-
tween people with Homeopathy showed several similarities with people
and Mona Lisa. Both works survived on a secular scale, influenced gen-
erations, have a period of social acceptance, many people show extreme
interest in the use, education, research and dissemination of them. A re-
markable example of the development of Homeopathy is the creation of
BioFAO, which is a protocol with a complex of dynamic dugs. The de-
scription of La Gioconda Effect helps to understand the history and devel-
opment of Homeopathy, as well as people’s behavior. Conclusion: La Gio-
conda Effect demonstrates people’s attraction to Homeopathy.

Macrophage activity regulation by high dilution


of aspirin and its possible mechanism
Adalberto do Carmo Braga B a c k g r o u n d : Under LPS-stimulus, platelets can activate macrophage
von Ancken 1* by a cell-to-cell contact or through cytokine degranulation. Rebound ef-
fects of antithrombotic agents, such as prostanoids and COX inhibitors
Francisco Eizayaga 2
can lead to thrombosis, infarct, and stroke. Aspirin has been prescribed
Leoni V. Bonamin 3 for decades due to its powerful antiplatelet action, but it is also related to
paradoxical effects such as withdrawal syndrome peaks, resistance, and
thrombogenesis. Ultra-diluted aspirin can also produce the same effect
in one hour, regardless of Cox-2, by still unknown pathways. Antithrom-
botic effects of aspirin are also reversed by its high dilutions. Aims: This
study aims to characterize the effects of aspirin 15 CH on macrophages
challenged with LPS, a Cox-2 activator. Methodology: RAW 264.7 mac-
rophages were sown in 24 wells plates using R10 medium, boosted with

tric oxide, and dielectric oscillations, through solvatochromic dyes (Cart-
wright’s method). Results and discussion: macrophage spreading was
increased by aspirin 15 CH, a LPS-like effect. Paradoxically, a significant
reduction of this effect was noted when both, LPS and aspirin 15 CH,
were added. Succussed water reversed the effect of LPS, leading to TNF
(p<0.05) production close to baseline levels. Also, the single treatment
with succussed water inhibited IL-10 production (p<0.05), but aspirin
200 µg/mL (positive control) highly increased it (p<0.0001), showing the
validity of the model. Nitric oxide production was strengthened by LPS
presence (p<0.0001), as expected, but partially downregulated after
treatment with aspirin 200 µg/mL, water and sucussed water. A pilot
study with solvatochromic dyes showed no significant difference among
treatments. Conclusion: The main data suggest that aspirin 15 CH in-
creases macrophage activity but presents a paradoxical effect when
mixed with LPS. On the other hand, succussed water itself has modulato-
ry effects on macrophages.

metalloproteinase activity was assessed by zymography. The determina-
tion of the cytokine profile was performed using Cytometric Bead Array
(CBA). The samples were evaluated in quadruplicate and the data were
analyzed by one-way ANOVA. Results and discussion: Carcinosinum 30
CH presented the highest apoptotic index and reduction of MMP-9-Pro
expression; Carcinosinum 200 CH produced the highest positivity for
HER-2 and no specific effect was seen after the treatment with Carcinosi-
num 12 CH. No change in cytokine expression was seen among treat-
ments. Conclusions: We conclude that Carcinosinum 30 CH and 200 CH
can change phenotypic features important to tumor development in vi-

possible effects of adding stirred water, the so-called succussed water, and
the moon phases. The hatched cysts were recorded after 48 hours using a
digital microscope (1000x magnification) to identify the hatching per-
centage and the viability and mobility of the born nauplii. Results: The
exposition of cysts to PbCl2 led to an increase in the hatching rate, and it
was more evident during the full moon (p = 0.00014). The addition of
succussed water into the seawater medium reduced this effect to the base-
line levels. An increase in mobility was seen in nauplii born from exposed

of lead chloride EC10 on the increase of nauplii hatching were expected,
two environmental variables changed the sensitivity of cysts to this harm-
ful stimulus. The circalunar cycle varied the hatching rate according to the
moon phase, even in laboratory conditions, and the addition of succussed
water into the medium reduced the hatching rate, even with different in-
tensities according to the moon phase. The organization of nano and mi-
crobubbles generated after the succussion of water could be related to this
protective effect and can explain, at least partially the effects of high dilut-
ed preparations on this biological context. Conclusion: Environmental
factors, such as the circalunar cycle and products of water agitation, can
modulate the adaptative control of hatching in Artemia salina exposed to

products Ovosigo® and FertSigo® are indicated for the diets of Japanese
quail during the laying phase since it resulted in better weights for the
egg and its components. Conclusion: The different homeopathic prod-

High Dilution in Dyslipidemia treatment


in Dogs and Rabbits
Bruna Scardoeli 1* B a c k g r o u n d : Excess weight causes disorders in locomotor, cardiore-
spiratory and reproductive systems and increases the incidence of endo-
Cideli de Paula Coelho 1, 2
crinopathies, as well it can often cause dyslipidemias, leading to athero-
sclerosis. Aims: Report the evolution of homeopathic treatment in 4
overweight patients, being 2 female dogs and 2 female rabbits with hy-
pertriglyceridemia, analyzing the values in biochemical test. Methodology:
Homeopathic treatment was chosen, based on the principle of similitude,
using Cholesterinum due to its action to decrease cholesterol and tri-
glyceride levels. Results and discussion: the same protocol was made for
all of the four patients, included 2 globules of Cholesterinum 30 CH di-
1 High Dilution Science (HD Science), rect in its mouth, every 12 hours for 30 days. The first dog attended on

132 mg/dL after just one month treating. The second dog attended on
04/05/2019, presented higher hypertriglyceridemia with 617 mg/dL that
decreased to 259 mg/dL. Likewise, on 02/06/2019, the first rabbit attend-
ed, presented 445 mg/dL of triglycerides, which reduced to 337 mg/dL,
while the second rabbit, on 06/27/2019, presented 372 mg/dL of tri-
glycerides, decreasing to 274 mg/dL after. Although the values of choles-
terol in all patients were in agreement with the reference, the treatment
still proved improvements. In the beginning of the treatment, the first
dog showed 207 mg/dL of cholesterol and in the end, it reduced to 170
mg/dL, as well with the second dog with 218 mg/dL in the beginning and
200 mg/dL after. Regarding rabbits, the first one presented initial value of
60 mg/dL, which decreased to 52 mg/dL, while the second started with
57 mg/dL and went to 41 mg/dL. Conventionally, Bezafibrate is indicated
as a lipid-lowering agent, but it is contraindicated in patients with liver
or kidney failure, vesicular diseases and for pregnant or lactating. Con-
clusion: Dyslipidemia can be controlled with High dilution. (The ex-
