346. Homeopathic Dilutions


Homeopathic   dilutions

        Homeopathy involves a process known by practitioners as "dynamisation" or "potentisation" whereby a substance is diluted with alcohol or distilled water and then vigorously shaken in a process called "succussion".
        Insoluble solids, such as quartz and oyster shell, are diluted by grinding them with lactose (trituration).
        The founder of homeopathy, Samuel Hahnemann (1755 — 1843) believed that the process of succussion activated the "vital energy" of the diluted substance, and that successive dilutions increased the "potency" of the remedy.
        The idea is considered a pseudoscience, because at common dilutions, no atoms of the original material are likely to remain.
        It is illogical that a process of dilution would arrive at a higher potency.
        There is not enough water on earth to produce the highest homeopathic dilutions from one molecule.

Potency scales

Several potency scales are in use in homeopathy.
        Hahnemann created the centesimal or "C scale", diluting a substance by a factor of 100 at each stage. The centesimal scale was favored by Hahnemann for most of his life.
        A 2C dilution requires a substance to be diluted to one part in one hundred, and then some of that diluted solution diluted by a further factor of one hundred. This works out to one part of the original substance in 10,000 parts of the solution.
          A 6C dilution repeats this process six times, ending up with the original material diluted by a factor of 100−6=10−12.
        Higher dilutions follow the same pattern.
        In homeopathy, a solution that is more dilute is described as having a higher potency, and more dilute substances are considered by homeopaths to be stronger and deeper-acting remedies.
        The end product is often so diluted that it is indistinguishable from the dilutant (pure water, sugar or alcohol).
        Hahnemann advocated 30C dilutions for most purposes (that is, dilution by a factor of 1060). In Hahnemann's time it was reasonable to assume that remedies could be diluted indefinitely, as the concept of the atom or molecule as the smallest possible unit of a chemical substance was just beginning to be recognized.
        We now know that the greatest dilution that is reasonably likely to contain one molecule of the original substance is 12C, if starting from 1 mole of original substance.
This bottle contains arnica montana (wolf's bane) D6, i.e. the nominal dilution is one part in a million (106).
        Some homeopaths developed a decimal scale (D or X), diluting the substance to ten times its original volume each stage.
        The D or X scale dilution is therefore half that of the same value of the C scale; for example, "12X" is the same level of dilution as "6C".
        Hahnemann never used this scale but it was very popular throughout the 19th century and still is in Europe. This potency scale appears to have been introduced in the 1830s by the American homeopath, Constantine Hering. In the last ten years of his life, Hahnemann also developed a quintamillesimal (Q) or LM scale diluting the drug 1 part in 50,000 parts of diluent. A given dilution on the Q scale is roughly 2.35 times its designation on the C scale. For example a remedy described as "20Q" has about the same concentration as a "47C" remedy.
        Potencies of 1000c and above are usually labelled with Roman numeral M and with the centesimal 'c' indicator implied (since all such high potencies are centesimal dilutions): 1M = 1000c; 10M = 10,000c; CM = 100,000c; LM (which would indicate 50,000c) is typically not used due to confusion with the LM potency scale.
        The following table is a synopsis comparing the X and C dilution scales and equating them by equivalent dilution. However, the homeopathic understanding of its principles is not explained by dilution but by "potentisation", hence one can not assume that the different potencies can be equated based on equivalence of dilution factors.

Note: the "X scale" is also called "D scale". 1X = 1D, 2X = 2D, etc.

The problem of homeopathic dilution

Serial dilution of a solution results, after each dilution step, in fewer molecules of the original substance per litre of solution. Eventually, a solution will be diluted beyond any likelihood of finding a single molecule of the original substance in a litre of the total dilution product.

The molar limit

If one begins with a solution of 1 mol/L of a substance, the 10-fold dilution required to reduce the number of molecules to less than one per litre is 1 part in 1×1024 (24X or 12C) since:
6.02×1023/1×1024 = 0.6 molecules per litre
Homeopathic dilutions beyond this limit (equivalent to approximately 12C) are unlikely to contain a single molecule of the original substance and lower dilutions contain no detectable amount. ISO 3696 (Water for analytical laboratory use) specifies a purity of ten parts per billion, or 10×10−9 - this water cannot be kept in glass or plastic containers as they leach impurities into the water, and glassware must be washed with hydrofluoric acid before use. Ten parts per billion is equivalent to a homeopathic dilution of 4C.

 Analogies

Critics and advocates of homeopathy alike commonly attempt to illustrate the dilutions involved in homeopathy with analogies. The high dilutions characteristically used are often considered to be the most controversial and implausible aspect of homeopathy.

 1 bottle of poison in Lake Geneva

Hahnemann is reported to have joked that a suitable procedure to deal with an epidemic would be to empty a bottle of poison into Lake Geneva, if it could be shaken 60 times.

1 Pinch of salt in the Atlantic Ocean

One example given is that 12C solution is equivalent to a "pinch of salt in both the North and South Atlantic Oceans", which is approximately correct.

1/3 of a drop in all the waters of the Earth

One third of a drop of some original substance diluted into all the water on earth would produce a remedy with a concentration of about 13C.[13][14]

Duck liver 200C in the entire observable Universe

A popular homeopathic treatment for the flu is a 200C dilution of duck liver, marketed under the name Oscillococcinum. As there are only about 1080 atoms in the entire observable universe, a dilution of one molecule in the observable universe would be about 40C. Oscillococcinum would thus require 10320 more universes to simply have one molecule in the final substance.

Swimming pool

Another illustration of dilutions used in common homeopathic remedies involves comparing a homeopathic dilution to dissolving the therapeutic substance in a swimming pool.
One example, inspired by a problem found in a set of popular algebra textbooks, states that there are on the order of 1032 molecules of water in an Olympic-size swimming pool and if such a pool were filled with a 15C homeopathic remedy, to have a 63% chance of consuming at least one molecule of the original substance, one would need to swallow 1% of the volume of such a pool, or roughly 25 metric tons of water.

30C: 1 ml in 1,191,016 cubic light years

Yet another illustration: 1 ml of a solution which has gone through a 30C dilution is mathematically equivalent to 1 ml diluted into 1054 m3 - a cube of water measuring 1,000,000,000,000,000,000  (1018) metres per side, which is about 106 light years. When spherical, then it would be a ball of 131.1 light years in diameter. Thus, homeopathic remedies of standard potencies contain, almost certainly, only water (or alcohol, as well as sugar and other nontherapeutic ingredients).

Proposed explanations

Homeopaths maintain that this water retains some "essential property" of the original material, because the preparation has been shaken after each dilution. Hahnemann believed that the dynamisation or shaking of the solution caused a "spirit-like" healing force to be released from within the substance. Even though the homeopathic remedies are often extremely diluted, homeopaths maintain that a healing force is retained by these homeopathic preparations.

Dilution debate

Not all homeopaths advocate extremely high dilutions. Many of the early homeopaths were originally doctors and generally used lower dilutions such as "3X" or "6X", rarely going beyond "12X". The split between lower and higher dilutions followed ideological lines. Those favoring low dilutions stressed pathology and a strong link to conventional medicine, while those favoring high dilutions emphasised vital force, miasms and a spiritual interpretation of disease. Some products with both low and high dilutions continue to be sold, but like their counterparts, they have not been conclusively demonstrated to have any effect beyond the placebo effect.

345. Homeopathic Unscientific


Homeopathic   Unscientific

Why homeopathic remedies are unscientific: The chemistry behind infinite dilutions and molecular memory

In the simplest sense, homoeopathic remedies are unscientific because there is no evidence from well designed, controlled clinical trials that homoeopathic remedies perform better than placebo. They cannot thus be regarded as evidence-based treatments.
Moreover, homoeopathic remedies are unscientific because the supposedly chemical and physiological principles of homoeopathy have no grounding in science.
In other words, homoeopathic remedies not only don't work, but as far as current state of scientific knowledge goes, cannot work. There is no recognised scientific mechanism that could explain their working.
Homoeopathy is an alternative therapy based on the principle of “like treats like”. This means that a substance that in greater concentrations would cause particular symptoms in healthy people is used, diluted, to treat the same symptoms in a sick person.
There is no evidence whatsoever for this principle to be true. The same symptom can be caused by multiple causes, for example
vomiting can be caused by
1.      chemical poisoning,
2.      bacterial or parasitic
3.      infection,
4.      motion sickness,
5.      pregnancy hormones or
6.      stress.
Anti-emetic drug might alleviate the symptom, but the only way to actually remove it is to deal with the underlying cause.
But the "like-with-like" principle is only the beginning. Homoeopathic remedies are prepared by a serial dilution of the active ingredient. This is because the original creator of homoeopathy, Hahnemann, found that administering the active ingredient undiluted caused the symptoms to worsen rather then improve.
Homoeopathic dilutions are huge, to the degree that the final remedy is extremely unlikely to contain even a single molecule of the active ingredient. Homoeopathic remedies are marked by their "potency", or dilution factor.
The most commonly used scale is a C scale, in which the substance is diluted by the factor of 100 at each stage. Thus,
1.      1C dilution would have one part of active substance in 100 parts of the medium (water).
2.      3C dilution will have 1 part of the active substance in a million parts of the medium.
To make it more clear, a 12C solution will equal dissolving one pinch of salt in the whole of the Atlantic Oceans, while 13C solution would mean diluting less than a drop of the active substance in all the water that is present on Earth.
The dilution most commonly advised by Hahnemann is 60C: 60 dilutions, each by a factor of 100, resulting in a final dilution by a factor of 10 to the power of -60. Many
