| Abstract | The results of three pilot studies are presented. The common aim of the studies was to find out which measurements of differences between homoeopathic potencies and their solvent are reproducible in blind trials. The first study tried to reproduce potency dependent periodicities in the surface tension of natrium-mutiaticum-potencies D6-D30. The result was not affirmative. A second study examined NMRspectra of sulfur-potencies D6, D13, D19, D23 and their solvent. The location of the peaks, the areas beneath the peaks and the coupling constants here also showed no significant differences. However systematic differences could be recognized in the form of the peaks. The third study, which was concerned with Raman-spectra of bryonia-potencies C1-C30, brought positive results in the location parameter and in the area parameter. The results of these pilot studies justify a more detailed examination of the physico-chemical properties of homoeopathic potencies by spectroscopic methods. Such an examination would have to promote an understanding of the effects. | |
