Aquacultural Homoeopathy: A Focus on Marine Species

Abstract: Homoeopathy is an alternative medical system proposed by Samuel Hahnemann in the eighteenth century. It uses highly diluted and agitated substances that derived from plants, minerals or animals, which have shown to be effective in human medicine, agronomy, veterinary, and as a novelty, in marine aquaculture. Aquacultural homoeopathy has developed rapidly in recent years, partially motivated by the misuse of powerful drugs (hormones,

“…This process depends greatly on external agents to reach their maximum expression, in this case in S. bigelovii, the presence of marine salt stimulates germination because it is a facultative halophyte plant and needs salt to optimize its physiological processes (Beltrán-Burboa et al, 2017). It explains the results obtained with NaM-7CH since this medicine is made from sea salt, which agrees with one of the basic assumptions of homeopathy: the denominated "Law of Similars" (Similia Similibus Curentur: 'Like Cures Like' or 'Treat likes by likes'), its main philosophical and conceptual foundation from the biophysical point of view (Mazón-Suástegui et al, 2018b). However, from a chemical point of view and taking as reference only Avogadro's theory, the sea salt content in NaM as an active ingredient in nanoparticles, would be greater in the seventh centesimal dynamization (7CH) than in the 31 st centesimal dynamization (31CH), centesimal (7CH) que en la trigésima primera dinamización centesimal (31CH), algo que también puede justificar tales resultados (Mazón-Suástegui et al, 2019).…”

“…Este proceso depende en gran medida de agentes externos para alcanzar su máxima expresión, y en el caso de S. bigelovii, la presencia de sal marina incentiva la germinación, dado que es una planta halófita facultativa y necesita de la sal para optimizar sus procesos fisiológicos (Beltrán-Burboa et al, 2017). Esto explica los resultados obtenidos con el tratamiento NaM-7CH, ya que este medicamento se elabora a partir de sal marina, lo que coincide con uno de los postulados básicos de la homeopatía: el denominado "Principio de los Similares" (Similia Similibus Curentur: Let Likes Be Treated By Likes) y su principal fundamento filosófico y conceptual desde el punto de vista biofísico (Mazón- Suástegui et al, 2018b). Sin embargo, desde un punto de vista puramente químico y tomando como referencia la teoría de Avogadro, el contenido en NaM de sal de mar como ingrediente activo en forma de nanopartículas, sería mayor en la séptima dinamización which treatment NaM-7CH had the greatest response with 86% of germinated seeds, 44% more than those in the control treatment (AD).…”

“…Esto conf irma el principio de los similares, que es básico en la teoría y práctica de la medicina homeopática, en el sentido de que la aplicación de pequeñas dosis de sustancias ultra-diluidas y dinamizadas mediante un proceso serial de dilución/agitación, puede prevenir o revertir los efectos nocivos de la misma sustancia cuando ésta es aplicada en dosis masiva (Mazón-Suástegui the RUBISCO enzyme and total protein in caupi bean Vigna unguiculata plants cultivated under salinity stress (Mondal et al 2012). These results confirm the principle of similar, which is basic in homeopathic medicine theory and practice, in the sense that the application of small doses of ultra-diluted substances and dynamized by a serial process of dilution/ agitation may prevent or reverse the harmful effects of the same substance when it is applied in massive doses 2018a;2019a DT = diámetro de tallo; nH = número de hojas; nF = número de flores; CV = coeficiente de variación (%).
