Homeopathy

Homeopathy is a complementary and alternativee medical practice that involves the use of highly diluted substances to treat various medical conditions.
It is based on the principle of "like cures like," where substances that can cause symptoms in a healthy person are used to treat those same symptoms in a sick person.
Homeopathic remedies are typically derived from natural sources, such as plants, minerals, and animals, and are believed to stimulate the body's own healing processes.
The effectiveness of homeopathy is a topic of ongoing debate, with some studies suggesting potential benefits, while others have found no significant effects beyond placebo.
Patients should consult with healthcare professionals before using homeopathic treatments, as they may interact with conventional medical therapies.

Assessing Meaning Saturation in Focus Groups
Cited 52 times
We followed the same process to assess meaning saturation (described below) that we used in our previous study on saturation with in-depth interview data (Hennink et al 2016 (link)), with the addition of two components to reflect the use of focus group data in this study.
To assess meaning saturation, we selected 19 codes that were central to the aims of the original study on diet, exercise and diabetes and included different types of codes. These codes comprised a mix of concrete (13 codes) and conceptual codes (6 codes) and high prevalence (10 codes) and low prevalence (9 codes) codes (as defined above). This selection reflected the nature of codes developed in this study, whereby there were more concrete than conceptual codes. To assess meaning saturation, we traced these 19 codes to identify what we learned about the code in each successive focus group discussion. This involved using the coded data to search for the code in the first focus group discussion and noting what we learned about this issue from this focus group, then searching for the code in the next focus group and noting any new aspects or nuances of the code from that group, and continuing until all 10 focus groups had been reviewed. This process was repeated for all 19 codes that were traced. For each code, we noted at which focus group there were no new aspects of a code raised and no further understanding of the code, only the repetition of earlier aspects. We deemed this as the point of meaning saturation for that code. We then compared the number of focus group discussions needed to reach meaning saturation with the number needed to reach code saturation determined in our earlier analyses.
To assess whether meaning saturation is influenced by the type of code, we compared the timing of saturation for concrete and conceptual codes. Concrete codes included: ‘family time’, ‘homeopathy’, ‘exercise instructor’, ‘exercise measures’, ‘exercise gender’, ‘exercise venues’, ‘physical appearance’, ‘ingredient cost’, ‘food taste’, ‘diabetes cause’, ‘US-Indian food’, ‘exercise barriers’, and ‘exercise perception’. Conceptual codes included: ‘denial’, ‘exercise pleasure’, ‘work success’, ‘women’s responsibility’, ‘mood’, and ‘cultural expectations’. To assess whether meaning saturation is influenced by the prevalence of a code, we compared saturation by high and low prevalence codes.
To assess whether meaning saturation is influenced by the number of participants who discussed a code, we noted the number of participants contributing to the discussion of each code across all focus groups. If 4 people had discussed a code in the first focus group, 2 in the second, and 6 in the third, we determined that a total of 12 participants had discussed this code across the data. We then identified whether there was any pattern in saturation by the number of participants discussing a code. Finally, to assess how saturation is influenced by the demographic stratification of the focus groups (described earlier), we noted the age and sex composition of each group on the trajectories and identified any patterns in saturation by these strata.

Comprehensive Lifestyle and Health Questionnaire
Cited 6 times
The first set of questionnaires recorded information on demographic data, socio-economic and marital status, and several lifestyle factors, namely tobacco, alcohol and caffeine consumption, physical activity and mood. Data on smoking included the previous and current smoking status as well as the amount of tobacco smoked (number of cigarettes, cigarillos, cigars or pipes), age of beginning and end (for former smokers). Similarly, data on alcohol consumption included the past and current drinking status as well as the number of alcoholic beverage units (wine, beer and spirits) consumed over the week preceding the interview. Caffeine consumption was assessed by the number of caffeine-containing beverages consumed per day. Personal history of overweight and/or obesity and birth weight were also collected. Finally, the 12-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ12) [7 (link)] was applied in order to screen for the presence of non-psychotic psychiatric disorders.
The second questionnaire, administered during a face-to-face meeting with the recruiter, focused on personal and family history of disease and CV risk factors. Subjects were asked which disease(s) they or their family had presented. When a positive answer was given, further information regarding age of occurrence and number of family members affected was collected. When appropriate, death of parents was recorded with age and cause of death. Regarding blood pressure (BP) status, subjects indicated if they had been diagnosed with hypertension and subsequently if they had been, or were being treated currently for this condition. BP levels before the beginning of treatment were sought for and the names of the anti-hypertensive drugs that had been prescribed were collected. In case the anti-hypertensive regimen had been modified, the duration and the reason for changing were also recorded. Personal medicines, including prescription and self-prescribed drugs, vitamin and mineral supplements, homeopathy or natural remedies were collected, together with their main indications. In women, further data regarding reproductive and obstetrical history, oral contraception and hormonal replacement therapy was collected. Finally, an additional frailty questionnaire (for subjects aged over 50 years) and the Mini-Mental State Evaluation (MMSE – for subjects aged over 65 years) were further administered [8 (link)].

Analyzing RELIS Database to Improve Drug Information Services
Cited 5 times
Contents of the RELIS database were analysed to illustrate how questions were answered. Two periods of 6 years were compared (1995–2000 and 2001–2006). QAPs published in the public database in the respective periods were used. They reflect the process of answering better than QAPs unsuited for publication as described above. Overall publication frequency in the period (1995–2006) was 80% (range 66%–95% between individual centres). Relevant data from QAPs, including question number, were transferred to SPSS V.17.0 (SPSS Inc.) for analysis and subjected to a randomisation procedure in the application. From a total of 9697 QAPs, a randomised sample of 963 QAPs was used for further analysis. Each QAP was compared with the information in the associated paper version (all documents and information on answering the question) saved in the respective RELIS centre. The paper version contained the day the question was received and the corresponding day an answer was provided. One hundred and twenty-one QAPs were excluded because the questions concerned nutritional or herbal medicine (n=65), non-medical products from pharmacies, homeopathy, medical equipment, disinfection or chemicals (n=26), or questions that were answered solely by a previous answer or by sending copies of relevant scientific articles (n=30). Exclusion of these QAPs was based on the notion that DICs primary function and resources (personnel and available drug information sources) are directed to answer questions concerning drugs. Thus, based on a sequence of selection criteria (publication or not, randomisation to 10% and the final exclusion), 842 QAPs were included in the study. They were analysed for the number of drugs involved in the question, complexity, the type of literature search performed, use of references (the number of references used and/or use of the RELIS database as a reference) and the time needed for providing an answer (in days). The number of drugs involved in the queries were categorised as one, two or three or more. Questions concerning groups of drugs, for example, antipsychotics, were categorised as three or more drugs. Judgemental and/or patient-related questions were defined as complex. Factual questions, such as the therapeutic dose of a drug or its half-life, can easily be located in textbooks, monographs or databases. Judgemental questions require by definition the integration of data or knowledge and experience in the process of making a decision regarding a specific therapeutic problem.6 (link) The original definition assumed that answers to judgemental questions could not be given in any single reference source, but this assumption has been excluded in the present and other studies.7 (link) Judgemental questions are frequently patient-related because they involve drug information applied to a clinical situation associated with patient-specific characteristics. They can, however, also represent a more general drug-related problem. If the question was answered without searching the literature and without consulting colleagues, the literature search was categorised as none. If it was necessary to search the RELIS database, databases containing monographs like the Micromedex, the Summary of Product Characteristics for the drug, reference books and/or colleagues/other health professionals only, the search was categorised as simple. If searches in databases like Medline, Embase or Cochrane to obtain original articles were necessary, the search was categorised as advanced. The number of questions received each year were analysed by use of the statistical function in the database. This function allows RELIS to quantify the activity in the centres (eg, the number of questions from physicians or pharmacists from a particular county from a particular time period to a particular RELIS can be retrieved). The number of employees in the centres in the respective periods was estimated but did not include all cases of maternity leave, leave of absence and vacant positions. The mean number of questions per employee per year was calculated from data corresponding to the start (year) and end (year) of each period. Figure 1 summarises the present RELIS model together with the study sample and design.

Manufacturing Process of Homeopathic IFN-γ
Cited 4 times
Biologically active human recombinant (hr)-IFN-γ, produced by Labo’Life Spain (Consell, Spain) in Escherichia coli BL21, was used to manufacture IFN-γ (4 CH), a unitary homeopathic medicinal product consisting of sucrose-lactose pillules, also termed globules, impregnated with ethanolic preparations (96% of ethanol/water) of IFN-γ at 4 CH. The scheme in Figure 1 represents the manufacturing process of IFN-γ (4 CH). Briefly, the hr-IFN-γ starting concentration, obtained by diluting 1 µg of protein in 1 mL of endotoxin-free water, was then used to make the first 1:100 dilution in ethanol 96 per cent V/V. That dilution was further agitated 100 times by a kinetic vertical shaking generated by a dynamizator (Dynamat 50CS, Labotics bvba, Belgium) to make the 1 CH. That process, also called SKP, has been repeated until reaching the desired centesimal dilution used to impregnate the pillules (4 CH, in the current study). Labo’Life employs the SKP process to manufacture MI medicines, both unitary and complex medicines, as previously described [21 (link),22 (link),23 (link),68 (link)].
IFN-γ (4 CH) was manufactured and provided by Labo’Life Belgium (Gembloux, Belgium), as well as the vehicle sucrose-lactose pillules (also referred as Veh.) used as experimental control in all the experiments. Those vehicle pills were impregnated with the only ethanolic vehicle preparations (ethanol 96 per cent V/V) used to prepare MI medicines; therefore, those pills lack the active substance. The scheme in Figure 1 also represents the manufacturing process of the Veh. pillules. For all the experiments assessing the in vitro biological effect of IFN-γ (4 CH) on cellular models, either the IFN-γ (4 CH) or the Veh. pillules were freshly diluted in culture medium to reach the final concentration of 11 mM of sucrose-lactose (corresponding to the content of one capsule in 100 mL). Previous experiments and in vitro studies on unitary and complex MI medicines have reported that this excipients’ concentration does not impact cell viability and functions of immune and non-immune cells, and it allows us to measure the active ingredients’ effects [69 (link),70 (link)].

Comprehensive Database of Indian Medicinal Plants
For the 4010 Indian medicinal plants
in IMPPAT 2.0, the taxonomic information on kingdom, family, and group
was compiled using The Plant List database.28 The common names of the Indian medicinal plants were obtained from
the Flowers of India database,79 which
compiles information for more than 6000 Indian plants. The IUCN Red
List of Threatened species29 is the most
comprehensive resource on the global conservation status of animals,
fungi, and plant species, and this list was used to ascertain the
extinction risk of Indian medicinal plants. The usage of Indian medicinal
plants in different traditional Indian systems of medicine such as
Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani, Sowa-Rigpa, and Homeopathy was manually compiled
from pharmacopeias published by the Government of India.

Assessing Determinants of CAM Usage
Cited 1 time
Designed by our team from the Medical University of Vienna (10 researchers) to combine classical sociodemographic determinants with indicators of CAM usage, the questionnaire especially focused on the utilisation of TCM. It included a total of 21 items: 6 pertained to sociodemographic factors (gender, age, citizenship, level of education, employment and income), 8 queried TCM directly (awareness, general usage, usage frequency, perception of scientific support, trust in TCM-certified medical doctors and TCM expenses), 4 focused on additional CAM usage patterns (homeopathy and vaccination hesitancy) and 3 were asked to further characterise our sample (study participation, chronic illness and money spent on conventional medicine). The questionnaire was tested via a pre-questionnaire on a heterogenous group of 20 people65 (link) of varying age and sociodemographic characteristics in consecutive phases. Inputs were considered and the questionnaire was optimised between phases. In some instances, the questionnaire was taken in person with the interviewer present to immediately discuss the respondents’ thoughts (‘think aloud’). This allowed for optimisation of question comprehensibility, appropriateness, order and wording to ensure the validity of questionnaire items. The questionnaire can be obtained from the online supplemental file 1 in both German and English (translated by the authors and cross-checked by a native English speaker).

Measuring Traditional and Complementary Medicine Use
Users of T&CM were defined as participants who reported visits to a T&CM provider and/or used non-provider interventions in the preceding 12 months. Simplified questions based on the international questionnaire to measure use of complementary and alternative medicine questions, the I-CAM-Q [52 (link)] were used. The use of a T&CM provider was based on a “yes” response to either of these three questions from Q1: “Have you during the past year visited a traditional healer (helper, “reader”, etc.?)”, “Have you during the past year visited an acupuncturist?” or “Have you during the past year visited a complementary medicine provider (homeopath, reflexologist, spiritual healer, etc.?)”. Non-provider T&CM use was collected from Q2 through “Have you used herbal medicines, natural remedies, or herbal remedies during the last 12 months?” (natural remedies henceforth), and “Have you used meditation, yoga, qigong, or tai chi as self-treatment during the last 12 months?” (self-help practices henceforth) with the response options “yes” and “no”. Data on T&CM use was self-reported.

Global COVID-19 Clinical Trial Landscape
Data extraction and searching of reported trials were conducted independently by two reviewers, and any disagreements between the reviewers were resolved by discussion. The ICTRP COVID-19 database contains information on trial registration number (TRN), country, design, target sample size, trial sponsors, interventions evaluated, inclusion and exclusion criteria, date of registration, recruitment status, date of trial onset, and so on. We checked the original trial registration if the required data were missing or unclear in the ICTRP database. We categorized trial primary sponsors as industry or non-industry. Trials were categorized as randomised controlled trial (RCT) or not, parallel or not, and with any blinding measures or without. Evaluated interventions were categorized as: pharmacological, alternative/dietary, immunological (including antibody and convalescent plasma), vaccine, stem cell, digital health, ventilation/oxygen, physical therapy/rehabilitation, and behavioral/psychological. These intervention categories may not be mutually exclusive. Alternative/dietary interventions included traditional medicine, other alternative or complementary remedies, and dietary supplementary interventions. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) included herbal, compound formulas, acupuncture, and other traditional remedies. Traditional Indian medicine (TIM) included Ayurveda, yoga, naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, and homeopathy. Registered trials were categorized as trials including patients with severe, non-severe and recovered COVID-19 cases, and individuals without COVID-19 at enrolment. “Non-severe” cases included patients from asymptomatic, mild or moderate severity, but trials that included cases from moderate to severe or critical severity were categorized as trials of severe cases. Participants without COVID-19 at enrolment included healthy volunteers, health workers, contacts of confirmed cases, or general community residents.
To identify trials that reported results, we first checked fields in the trial registers regarding result reporting and publications. If there was no information on result reporting in the register, we searched Google or Microsoft Bing using the unique trial registration number (TRN) as search term. Any reporting of outcome results was eligible, including interim results before trials’ completion. Types of result reporting were categorized as preprint, journal article, result posted on trial register, and news release. If the result of a clinical trial was reported through multiple approaches, we used the date and type of the earliest open access reporting.

More about "Homeopathy"

Homeopathy is an alternative and complementary medical approach that utilizes highly diluted substances to treat various health conditions.
Based on the principle of 'like cures like,' homeopathic remedies are derived from natural sources such as plants, minerals, and animals, and are believed to stimulate the body's inherent healing processes.
Homeopathic treatments have been a subject of ongoing debate, with some studies suggesting potential benefits, while others have found no significant effects beyond the placebo response.
Patients should consult with healthcare professionals before using homeopathic therapies, as they may interact with conventional medical treatments.
Researchers and medical professionals have explored the efficacy and applications of homeopathy using various tools and techniques.
For instance, MycoAlert, a fungal contamination detection assay, and RPMI 1640 medium, a commonly used cell culture medium, have been employed in homeopathic research to assess the impacts of homeopathic remedies on cellular processes.
Additionally, FBS (Fetal Bovine Serum) and Stata 15, a statistical software package, have been utilized in homeopathic studies to analyze data and draw conclusions.
Furthermore, advanced imaging technologies like the BX51WI microscope have been employed to visualize the effects of homeopathic remedies on cells and tissues.
Ethanol, a commonly used solvent, has also been used in the preparation of homeopathic dilutions, while the HEM-705CP-II filter paper has been utilized in the filtration and purification of these remedies.
The use of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) in homeopathic research has provided insights into the potential impacts of homeopathic treatments on vascular function and angiogenesis.
Overall, the ongoing exploration of homeopathy through these diverse tools and techniques continues to shed light on the potential benefits and limitations of this complementary medical approach.
