• W61530503 abstract "It surprises me thatCHESTwould publish an article (March 2005)1Frass M Dielacher C Linkesch M et al.Influence of potassium dichromate on tracheal secretions in critically ill patients..Chest. 2005; 27: 936-941Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF Scopus (42) Google Scholaron the effect of a therapeutic agent when in fact the patients received none of the agent mentioned in the title of the article. It is not mentioned in the title, but reading the article reveals that the “potassium dichromate” was a homeopathic C30 dilution. That is a dilution by a factor of 1060, and for those of us who believe in the Avogadro number, that means there would be one molecule in a sphere with a diameter of approximately 1.46 × 1011m. That is close to the distance from the earth to the sun. To describe this as “diluted and well shaken,” as the authors do, is the understatement of the century. The fact of the matter is that the medicine contained no medicine. The authors1Frass M Dielacher C Linkesch M et al.Influence of potassium dichromate on tracheal secretions in critically ill patients..Chest. 2005; 27: 936-941Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF Scopus (42) Google Scholarwill doubtless claim some magic effect of shaking that causes the water to remember for years that it once had some dichromate in it. The memory of water has been studied quite a lot. The estimate of the duration of this memory has been revised2Cowan ML Bruner BD Huse N et al.Ultrafast memory loss and energy redistribution in the hydrogen bond network of liquid H2O..Nature. 2005; 434: 199-202Crossref PubMed Scopus (636) Google Scholardownwards from a few picoseconds to approximately 50 femtoseconds (50 × 10-15s). That is not a very good shelf life. It is one thing to tolerate homeopathy as a harmless 19th century eccentricity for its placebo effect in minor self-limiting conditions like colds. It is quite another to have it recommended for seriously ill patients. That is downright dangerous. ResponseCHESTVol. 131Issue 2PreviewWe want to thank Dr. Colquhoun for his interest in our study.1First, the terms used should be defined precisely. Homeopathy is a science based on applied toxicology. Using digitalis either as a conventional or as a homeopathic physician makes no difference; both rely on observations (William Withering 1785) from pharmacology or on homeopathic proof. We are happy that toxicology as well as homeopathic proof have been shown to be reliable and consistent for centuries. Full-Text PDF" @default.
