Russian researches of low doses biologic activity

Abstract

The famous Russian pharmacologist prof. Kravkov N.P. in 1924 y. was an initiator of low doses and homeopathic remedies biologic activity researches in Russia. From that time many evidence-based experiments were done. Last forty years these studies were most intensive. Experimental models included different levels of organization – from acellular ferment-substrat solution, potentiated water, till cells, single-cell organisms, tissues, whole cold- and warm blooded organisms. There were different conditions of experiments – “preconditioning”, postconditioning”, potentiated high dilutions solutions and non-potentiated low concentration’ solutions. Some homeopathic remedies were studied on models recognized in pharmacology and demonstrated characteristics well-known in homeopathy. Some of them were done from new substances, for example, antibodies. Some of them were studied on rather unusual models of aquatic animals. Some characteristics were clarified from proving. We can conclude that Russian scientists and homeopathists have made a great contribution to the development of homeopathy.
