'Nanoparticle Research in Homeopathy'- An Easy Way To Become Instantly Famous As A 'Homeopathic Scientist'!
Now it is an easy job for any fame-seeking homeopath to come into the limelight as a 'scientist' or 'researcher', and 'publish a paper' for 'debunking the allegations against homeopathy', by merely spending Rs 5000! IIT-Bombay and IISc Bangalore are leasing out their research facilities to anybody who want to use their 'nanotechnology' research lab.
Do as follows: Go to IISC with some samples of homeopathic 'ultra dilution' purchased from the 'market'. Pay Rs 5000 to the lab. The scientists and technicians in the lab will do the rest for you. They will find out the presence of some 'traces of nanoparticles' in the samples of 'ultra dilutions' you provided. They will explain you how it was done using modern technologies such as 'Field Emission Scanning Microscope' or 'Energy Dispersive Spectrometry'. Finished!
You can now issue press release about the 'fundamental research in homeopathy' you have done. You can now tell your homeopath friends that you have proved 'homeopathy is scientific'. You can now declare that you have 'debunked the allegations against homeopathy'.
Your homeopath friends will then take over. They will start posting on every facebook pages about your 'fundamental research' that proves homeopathy is not 'placebo'. They will invite you to present 'papers' in their 'scientific seminars'. You have become a 'homeopathic scientist'!!
Even if you could detect some 'traces of nanoparticles' in the samples of 'homeopathic ultra dilutions', you have to answer the following questions before declaring that you have 'proved homeopathy' and 'debunked the allegations against homeopathy':
1. Did you prepare the 'ultra-dilutions' under your direct personal supervision, in order to ensure that the samples you used were genuinely 'ultra'?
2. Are you aware of the fact that the 'market samples' of 'high potencies' are not reliable for research purposes, as most manufacturers sell very low potencies with the label of 'ultra high' potencies due to their profit motives?
3. Did you use plain mixtures of water ethyl alcohol as controls, as it is common knowledge that any sample of water and alcohol may contain 'nanoparticles' of elements and other natural contaminants? Are you aware, you can detect some 'traces' of nanoparticles in any sample of alcohol or water when examined under 'Field Emission Scanning Microscope' or 'Energy Dispersive Spectrometry', even without any potentization?
4. Did you filter out and remove the detected nanoparticles from the samples after your experiments, and verify whether the remaining 'empty' water-alcohol mixtures have no any therapeutic properties when applied as similimum?
5. Did you filter out the detected 'nanoparticles' from your samples after experiments, and use those 'nanoparticles' as similimum in the patients to ensure that those 'nanoparticles' are the real active principles of 'ultra high dilutions'? It is very important to prove that those 'nanoparticles' are the real active principles of potentized drugs.
6. Did you think about the molecular level biological mechanism by which these nanoparticles said to be present actually act up on the human organism and produce a therapeutic effect? Did you explain anything regarding the BIOLOGICAL MECHANISM by which the 'nanoparticles' produce the therapeutic effects according to 'Similia Similibus Curentur'?
7. Are you aware of the fact that 'nanoparticles' of 'metallic elements' cannot represent the biological and therapeutic properties of complex drug substances used as drugs, as such properties arise from the complex structures and chemical properties of constituent drug molecules?
8. Did you ever think how the 'traces of nanoparticles floating in upper layers' of ultra dilutions could be present in each and every drops of our drugs, as we know from experiences that not only the 'upper layers' but even the last drop is therapeutically effective?
Kindly consider these questions with a rational and scientific mindset.
