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

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.

Title Epidemiology for “Normal People”.
Aims To introduce various subjects including searching for evidence, cases and NOT cases, build-
ing evidence, clinical trials and observational studies.
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.

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.

Neurobehavioral assessment of
Danio rerio intoxicated by Mercury
and the use of Mercurius solubilis
Marco Aurélio Gonçalves Manzoli 1 B a c k g r o u n d : Mercury is used in various industries. Part of Mercury’s
industrial waste is discharged into the environment, rivers and their trib-
Rafael Acordi Santos 1
utaries, thus contaminating aquatic animals. Aim: to evaluate Mercu-
Elaine Bido 1 ry-induced behavioral changes in Zebrafish (Danio rerio) by the analysis
of locomotor activity and parameters related to neurotoxicity and to ver-

ify whether ultra-diluted substances can decrease neurobehavioral ef-
Cideli de Paula Coelho 1,2* fects and toxicity. Methodology: The fishes were separated into 4 moni-
toring aquariums with 8 fishes each, with temperature, pH controlled,
until the time of the toxicological experiments. 0.5 mL of Mercury 6 CH,
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-

São Paulo, Brazil Open Field for neurotoxicity evaluation and Light and Dark Test), and
*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.

Characterization of physicochemical
markers for homeopathic medicines and
biological supernatant samples
Sandra Augusta Gordinho Pinto B a c k g r o u n d : Solvatochromic dyes are probes to detect variations on
the dipole moment of solvents after the insertion of homeopathic poten-

cies. Recent studies have shown they can be useful tools in laboratory
Jefferson Souza and field studies to detect the activity of homeopathic remedies. Objec-
tive: Determine whether solvatochromic dyes can be a diagnostic tool

for cells infected by different agents and/or markers to identify the activ-
Ivana B Suffredini ity of homeopathic medicines. Methodology: Ethilicum 1 CH, Silicea

30 and 200 CH were analyzed by pouring the samples (in a 1:60 rate) into
Leoni Villano Bonamin* 1 a series of seven dyes (rhodamine, ET 33, ET 30, coumarin 7, NN DMIA,
Nile red, methylene violet) diluted in absolute ethanol using pre-estab-
lished working concentrations. Oscillations of dye absorbance were ob-
served at visible light spectrophotometer according to the remedy and
potency. Water and succussed water were used as controls. In a second
moment, the absorbance profile of the remedies will be compared with
those of biological samples (supernatants) and checked with the biolog-
ical effect previously obtained from each treatment. Supernatants of

200 CH and Zincum metallicum 6, 30 and 200 CH reduced the absor-
bance of methylene violet (p=0.01). Repetitions and analysis of superna-
tants are expected to be performed in the next steps of the study. Future
perspectives: Establish a pattern of reactivity of the studied medicines
with different dyes and the putative relation with the corresponding su-
pernatants, as an attempt to obtain a “physicochemical signature” for
each kind of infection and/or treatment.

itor the prevalence of TMD muscle signs and symptoms. The data were
tabulated and analyzed. Statistical analysis: The test t de Student was
used for paired samples, significant at the level ≤ 0.05%. Results: An-
amnetic data from the RDC questionnaire, 86% of the individuals in the
GI had lower pain and muscle contracture rates in the second consulta-
tion, compared with 22% in the GII. Conclusion: The drug Arnica mon-
tana 6 CH proved to be effective in preventing muscle changes and clin-
ical symptoms resulting from isometric efforts with a statistically
significant difference (p ≤ 0.05).
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.

Rio de Janeiro, RJ-Brasil Google Scholar, HomeoIndex, LILACS and SciELO. The inclusion criteria
* cfapereira2011@gmail.com were original human studies, totally available, and published in the last
10 years in Portuguese, English and Spanish, presenting the use of floral
remedies or homeopathic treatment. Results and Discussion: The main
homeopathic medicines used were Lachesis mutus, Belladona, Sepia offi-
cinalis, Sanguinaria canadensis and Sulfur. The main flower remedies
were Cherry plum, Agrimony, Gentian, Walnut, Olive and Larch. The
findings in this review demonstrate a positive outcome trend in favor of
the effectiveness of these practices through the studies evaluated, en-
couraging the expansion of new designs and research that fully contem-
plate the principles of these practices. Conclusion: Thus, this work con-
tributes to the advancement in the understanding of each one of these
rationalities, making this work a source of consultation for health profes-
sionals and for future research, resulting in a strengthening of CAMs in
the field of health.
