Kolkata homeopaths offer medicines for US lunar mission

A father-son homeopath duo from Kolkata impressed western scientists with their paper on homeopathic medicines for health problems during lunar missions by the US.

Prasanta and Pratip Banerji were the only medical practitioners from India invited to present their paper at a symposium on lunar settlements organised by Rutgers University, New Jersey, earlier this week.

Their paper was on “Possible Use of Ultra-diluted Medicines for Health Problems during Lunar Missions”.

“The presentation got tremendous response,” Prasanta Banerji told IANS from New Jersey.

The other speakers at the seminar were Harrison H Schmitt, a lunar model pilot on Apollo 17, and astronomer David H Levy.

The Rutgers Symposium on lunar settlements was organised as a preparatory effort for provision of life support systems for the proposed Malapert Base on the moon. The base is expected to become inhabitable by 2025 under the lunar colonisation programme of the US space agency NASA.

The paper presented by Prasanta and Pratip Banerji was based on the fact that the moon has no magnetic field and hence problems of dispersion, solubility, absorption, availability at tissue level, metabolism and excretion of drugs, including recycling problems and disposal, do exist.

“Thus, in such a state, the use of conventional medicines has its limitations. An alternative to conventional medicines will be ultra-diluted medicines that may help solve the problems,” said Prasanta Banerji.

Ultra-diluted medicines have the capability to act through nerve terminals when placed on our tongue to execute beneficial roles in our body.

“Ultra-diluted medicines are also non-toxic, with extended shelf-life, non-addictive, with negligible weight and volume, low-cost, and easily administrable,” he added.

Malapert Base on the moon is being designed to house a revolving population of 300 people or more and to last for a minimum of 250 years. One-third of the population will expectedly be made up of lunar tourists and long-term Malapert residents.

Boiron Laboratories Disputes British Journal's Editorial on Homeopathy: Financial News - Yahoo!

NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa., Nov. 27 /PRNewswire/ — In its continued educational and research efforts for the advancement of homeopathy, Boiron Laboratories disputes an editorial comment published in The Lancet's Nov. 17, 2007 issue on the basis that its author has misinterpreted results of clinical trials on homeopathic medicines. (1-5)

The British medical journal features an editorial by Ben Goldacre on the “Benefits and Risks of Homeopathy.” In his commentary, Goldacre suggests that the results from five large meta-analyses indicate that homeopathy produces no statistically significant benefit over placebo.

(NZ) Treating the Whole Person: ‘The homeopath treats the whole person, taking into account not only the presenting complaint, for example hayfever, but also the general make-up of the client’.. Osteopathy, myopathy, angiopathy, neuropathy. There is a never-ending list of medical words ending in ‘pathy’.
Some even state their claim of disease twice : retinopathopathy. Confused? Of course you are.

You may have heard of homeopathy, but that might be as far as it goes.
Let me introduce you to Su Hutchinson, DipHom/RCHom. Su runs her business as a classical homeopath along with colleague Lynley Daly, through the Independent Midwives rooms in the Allenton Arcade, with alternative consultations taken through private residence in Ashburton. A graduate from the Bay of Plenty College of Homeopathy in 2003, Su began practising the alternative form of medicine under supervision in her fourth year of study and continued after finishing her degree.
Registered last year (a two-year process), Su is recognised in her field on the New Zealand Council of Homeopaths.

NZCH is the professional body responsible for upholding professional standards.
The council, formed in January 1999, represents more than 200 qualified, experienced and professional homeopaths throughout New Zealand. It is an amalgamation of three former registers: the registers of the New Zealand Homoeopathic Society, the New Zealand Institute of Classical Homeopathy and the New Zealand Accreditation Board of Natural Therapies. more
