Dr Stephan Baumgartner, HRI Scientific Advisory Committee member, has published the results of his international collaboration, working on a possible solution to the problem of reproducibility when testing homeopathic medicines. Ultra-dilute homeopathic medicines have been shown to exert various effects on various living cells and organisms in vitro, but the problem researchers are currently facing is […]

April 28th 2010 The repeatability of experimental designs used in biochemical and biological studies of serially-succussed ultrahigh dilutions is an ongoing challenge. In a recent article, Endler et al. identified 107 studies involving 24 different reserach models(1). 30 initial studies had been replicated internally by the same research team, by co-ordinated teams at different locations (multicentre […]
