Introduction
- Discovered by Dr. Hahnemann.
- Revolutionized Pharmacy, Pharmacology, and Posology.
- Potentized medicines work beyond Avogadro’s limit.
- Exact mechanism still not fully understood, but effects are clinically observed.
Physics > Chemistry
- Potentization must be explained by physics, not chemistry.
- Involves energy transformation, vibrational changes, and intermolecular arrangements.
- Beyond 12C potency, no material substance remains – only dynamic energy.
Key Scientific Concepts
- Law of Conservation of Energy - Energy can neither be created nor destroyed – just transformed.
- Indestructibility of Matter - Supports the idea that even without molecules, dynamic essence
remains.
- Avogadro’s Hypothesis - Above 12C potency, no molecules of original substance
present – still shows clinical action.
Role of Friction in Dynamization
- Friction (succussion/trituration) activates latent energy.
- Examples of friction-induced energy:
o Heat from rubbing
o Odor from rubbing bone/ivory
o Spark from rubbing steel
o Magnetism from stroking iron with magnet
Hence, succussion = energy release
Boyd’s Emanometer Experiments
- Dr. C.E. Boyd used emanometer to measure remedy energy.
- Proved Mercurius 30C has measurable energy.
- Claimed remedies release specific emanations affecting target tissues.
- Used abdominal reflexes and vibrational frequencies.
- Validated by Horder Committee (British Parliament):
Found statistical significance (33 million to 1) supporting homeopathic remedy activity.
Mnemonic: “PEACE-F” for Scientific Potentization
- P – Physics over Chemistry
- E – Energy Conservation Law
- A – Avogadro's Limit crossed
- C – Clinical effects proven (Boyd)
- E – Emanometer & Experimental Evidence
- F – Friction (succussion) activates power
