Homeopathy, cures are Transformations

             # The Science of Homeopathy.# 

Homeopathic cures are rotational transformations. I am not going into an elaborate introductory on the subject. Those who don't understand the technicalities do not concern us.those who can understand do not need much explaining. Among skeptics both the above categories are included is exactly why there is a need to explore and explain the plausible mechanism in as simple a language as possible,but not simpler, as the genius Albert Einstein had rightly observed.

 The remedy relationship in Homeopathy is something every homeopath concurs with and there is no difference of opinion whatsoever in this regard. The pivotals Sulphur, Calcarea-Carb and Lycopodium and their relationship that, under the action of Sulphur the resultant state usually tend towards Calcarea, and Calcarea to Lyco and again from Lycopodium we can get the original state (remedy picture or "eigenstates of health" for physics lovers) of Sulphur- is an internally well established rule.

Though a remedy has several antidotes,none of the different antidotes of the same remedy in homeopathy are substitutable for one another.This is a vector behavior. These facts are consistent only if the totality of symptoms OR "remedy pictures" exist as a *discrete *spectrum, (compare the visible spectrum of light containing 7 colors). And when a similimum is correctly given, we see that the remedy picture (which is also the disease picture, and here I am not making any distinction between the two) now changes to another remedy picture. Each remedy picture consists of several observable symptoms. they are thermal, thirst, time of day and sleep pattern etc.
Now we can imagine each remedy picture as vectors in three dimensional Euclidean space,by taking only 3 of the symptoms for convenience, say Thermal along the X-axis, Thirst along Y-axis and Sleep along Z-axis.
We can then plot the symmetrical status of every remedy eigenstate* to get different vectors for different remedies yielding following pictures.

   In the first picture the 3 different vectors representing Sulphur along height, Calcarea along length and Lycopodium along the breadth of an imaginary cube are shown. Under the action pf the similimum Sulphur picture rotates to Calcarea Carb, which in turn can rotate to Lycopodium and again Lycopodium can rotate to original Sulphur position is facilitated.

To make it further clear I have given in 2nd picture similar arrangement of Nux vomica, Carbo-veg and Phosphorus. In three dimensional Euclidean Space we can only show 3 remedies at a time. It is also seen that each remedy vector is shown at right angle (90 degrees) to both the other vectors.Now this necessity of showing them as mutually perpendicular or "orthogonal" is in conformity with the mathematics of such functional spaces where the entire spectra should consist of only orthogonal vectors. None of the vectors need cross another vector to rotate towards the position of any other vector only if they are all orthogonal to one another. Absolutely satisfies the requirement of homeopathic transformations.

In picture 3 it is also seen that when the origin or vertex is turned to face in our direction they make 120 degrees between each dispelling the doubt about their naure of equidistance from one another. Infinite dimentional functional spaces are an extension of this concept of Euclidean space to higher dimensions. Their inability of being represented pictorially doesn't alter the fact that Their Mathematical behavior agrees with Pythagorean Rule. They are absract "Vector Spaces" used in the mathematics that deals with functional analysis

By Pythagorean rule we know the parallelogram law of forces lay down the relationship, ( the square of the diagonal is equal to the sum of the squares of the two adjacent sides of a parallelogram. ) let us say S is the vector representing Sulphur picture, C that of Calcarea and L that of Lycopodium.
Likewise s,c and l be the corresponding similimum pictures ( it is necessary to distinguish remedy and disease pictures here for obvious reasons)
Now it can be shown with suitable modifications in the above picture 1 that Calcarea carb is a Rotational state when sulphur similimum ( s) is deducted from Sulphur disease (S)

 Square root of ( S^2  minus s^2 ) = C is then derived from the Pythagorean Rule.









the modification being, Disease vector "S" and similimum vector "s" are slightly different making an acute angle with each other. That is also consistent with the homeopathic laws since the Master has made the keen observation that a Similimum is not an Idem, hence Isopathy is not homeopathy as some of the contemporaries of Hahnemann had tried to project during his time.

State of health doesn't have any starting point in the spectrum of diseases. It can have different starting points in different patients according to their constitution, living condition and environment. That means every vector can be pathological and every rotation from the action of a similimum always is towards a lesser pathological state.

Why the simlimum is a negative vector of the original disease vector so that addition of the similimum acts as deduction of the disease vector resulting in rotation towards a previous (or notional previous) state is another point I can elaborate and substantiate, but may be outside the scope of this article which is intended only to explain the rotational behavior of disease states in an abstract vector space.

Why the double attack on plausibility & Efficacy ?

             The skeptics on the one hand argue that in Double blind RCTs Homeopathy never been able to show results consistent enough to prove its efficacy beyond doubt. And on the other hand they attack,there is no plausible mechanism for the action of ultrahigh dilutions.                                                                    
                                 But both these observed* defects except suppression of  evidence with malicious intent, arise because of the 'observer effect' if we can use that term here. Homeopathic prescriptions are based not on the pathological diagnosis of a case. we need the individualized "Sense data" which is sensitive to observation. A sincere homeopath who knows his job can tell how difficult it is to prescribe a remedy to a nagging spouse,let alone to the volunteers at the RCTs who get the message, what is being tested is something who's efficacy is highly suspect. This obviously spoils patient cooperation rendering the atmosphere quite different from the clinical setup where extraction of the sense data is unhindered.When RCTs hence show poor results quite naturally every explanation of plausible mechanism becomes unsubstantiated in strictly scientific parlance especially if classical physics is made a model for such conformity.

I was inspired for the first time, to think logically about Homeopathy after reading an article "Facts and theory, Hahnemann's balancing act" by research scholer Ralf Jeutter in an issue of the Ezine, Homeopathy 4 everyone. Thereafter Dr Richard Pitcairn's article "why medicine is not scientific" in another issue further made me think, If medicine is no more a science, as I don't have any difficulty in agreeing with this after my prolonged practice of Homeopathy, then what is the status of both conventional medicine and Homeopathy in present scientific environment. 
                            The result is the conception of  this blog. Just because Homeopathy is not understood by the mainstream medicine or science ( my apologies to those who are an exception) it seems vested interests are taking advantage of the empirical nature of homeopathy to spew venom and equate such a highly effective system of medicine with occult or placebo. But those who denounce homeopathy for being an empirical system are content to accept Quantum theory as a highly successful theory of everything, though,at least partially, it suffers from the same defect. Quantum theory blurs with mysticism at the boundaries. Homeopathy is accused of being mystical, hence taboo in scientific parlance. Aren't we forgetting that it is inevitable to express every physical phenomena especially particle or microscopic phenomena in the highly successful "theory of everything", namely Quantum theory ?                                                                                             .         If such an attempt is made we find with astonishment that modern medicine is inconsistent in many aspects where Homeopathy fares well.Hahnemann's Homeopathy is an explanation of the behavior  of a system representing the body in health&diseases which is exactly like the behavior of a Quantum system. Hahnemann says there is nothing to diseases except the perceived symptoms. Quantum implies reality is nothing but what is perceived. When the disease is not understood, it is permitted to use mild perturbation by giving a wrong remedy in Homeopathy!, aphorisms 179 to 182 are about perturbation.Anamnesis is nothing but the Consistent histories of quantum. Now we can know why Modern Medicine miserably fails in giving a single rule for the impairment and hence restoration of health as every other branch of fundamental as well as applied science is capable of. Its methods and philosophies are based on the antiquated classical mechanics which itself only remains a special class of quantum mechanics !
