STUDIES ON BIOMEDICAL INSTRUMENTAL PARAMETERS IN HOMEOPATHY Mahendra H. Gaushal M. D. (Hom. )

What is Biomedical Instrumentation? It is a branch of Engineering as Science of using measurements in Biomedical Studies.

What is Biomedical Engineering? The study of engineering principles in Human Medical Science is called Medical Engineering. If we wish to cover more animals on the earth, the science is called Bio-Medical Engineering.

Why it should be related to Homeopathy? n n n To have scientific validations of Homeopathic success. Both the Sciences getting involved will be benefited. To create, operate and to develop scientific parameters to evaluate Homeopathic Bio mechanisms. No single science is perfect. These are the days of interdisciplinary researches. Above and all it’s a need of time.

Problems in Homeopathy !!! n n n n n How it acts : Biomechanics Where it acts : Nerves, Blood, Endocrines, VITAL FORCE When it act : Bio reception. Minuteness of Homoeopathic drugs Linear dilution : up to what level ? Drugs : Its pharmacodynamics. Its Pharmocokinetics Proving : On Higher animals On Lower Animals Direction of cure ( Hahnemann) Director on cure ( Hering) and Miasms & its Bioactivities Kentian Observations and so on ……………

How to solve and validate it scientifically ?

Scope – I The study of Engineering principles from Biomedical Engineering involves following interests. n n n To understand mechanism, efficiencies and physical changes of various subsystem of the body. To evolve on Instrumentation system for diagnosis , therapy to supplementation of body function. To obtain qualitative and quantitative

How is this useful for Homeopathic Science ?

Scope – II The study of Homeopathic Principles from Biomedical Engineering point of view involves following interest : n n To understand physiological activities and changes of various subsystems of the body in normal state i. e. in healthy human being. To understand above activities and changes in various subsystems of the body in abnormal states i. e. in pathology ( and in drug proving ) To obtain qualitative and quantitative measurements of what Homeopathic drug does to the body ( Pharmacodynamics ) and what body does to Homeopathic drug ( Pharmacokinetics ) during and after the prescription of similimum. To obtain various measurements of miasmatic activities.

A Golden Spark. . …. “ In the pure science of experience in Physics, Chemistry and Medicine, merely speculative reasons can consequently have no voice, there when it acts alone, it degenerates into empty speculations and fantasy and produces only hazardous hypothesis, which in millions of instances are , and by their very nature must be self-deception and falsehood. ” Dr. Samuel Hahnemann Leipzic 1818 ( End of year ) (From preface of the second edition of Organon)

Introduction of Man-Machine System : n n It is a human being and Instrument system combined. A Classical exercise in Biomedical Engineering analysis involves the measurements of OUTPUTS from an unknown system as they are affected by various combinations of INPUTS.

BLACK BOX One of the most complex black box is living organism, especially the living human being…

Human Body as Black Box Human body is a Bio-Chemico- Physico. Electro-Thermo-Hydraulico-Pneumatico. Magneto mechanically engineered machine, , which runs automatically through the vital force, which is now a days called Bio energy.

Bio Potential Signals : n n n Human body is a source of various bio potential signals. Most useful during physiological, clinical and therapeutic biological activities. These signals cab be pricked up from the surface of the body or from within the body. These signals are used as parameters in various biomedical studies.

Dr. S. Hahnemann , Father of Homoeopathy quoted ( in Jan 1830 ) in preface of his book “ Materia Medica Pura ” I would show chemistry has been applied to , in order to wet and dry distillation to extracts from medicinal substances, phlegma, eitheral oils empyreumetic acids and oils, volatile salts and from residuary caput mortuum fixed salts and earths ( all nearly indentioal with one another ) I would set forth the method, adopted the latest chemical science of obtaining extracts to be afterwards inspissated by dissolving their should parts in various fluids. . …… Contd. .

contd. . I would describe the mode of separating from them resin, gum, gluten, starch, wax, albumen, salts and earths, acids and alkaloids, by means of reagents, and I would tell how to convert them into gases. It is well-known that not a single one of the innumerable medicinal substances, in spite of all these technical torturing, could be brought to reveal what sort of healing power it was possessed of certainly the material substances, extracted from them were not the spirit animating every single substance which enables it to cure certain morbid stages.

This spirit cannot be laid hold of by the hands, it can only be recognized by its effects on the living body……. .
