There has been too many discussions on the pros and cons for Homeopathy. The real problem is that nobody has really bothered to study it. The homeopathy doctors, who may be those studied their five years and odd in a recognized colleges or those who studied it by postal tution or in the jargon of now a days, distance education or those enthusiast who have gone to the nearest book-shop and got a book on homeopathy and in two days time becomes full fledged homeo doctor. If you ask anyone of them they will say it works. How nobody knows. Why the potency of medicine increases if it is diluted also no one is aware. I took this as a challenge and have been conducting experiments to see why when diluted the medicine become more effective. I have not finished my research and don't want to give out what I have found out with laborious process. Still when this rage is going on I thought that I should step in and give a glimpse what have been going on. I shall explain it as simple as possible so that a lay man also will be able to understand the underlying principle.
I shall start with an anology. You put say some two hundred crabs in a plastic basin and watch. You will observe that none of the crab can climb the walls and escape even if they go on trying. When someone tries others grab it back into the basin. Remove most of the crab leaving just four or five. All of them will climb over the sides in no time because there was none to deter their escape. Everything in the universe consists of molecules of different elements. Molecule are made up of a cluster of atoms. Helium has one atom while others have many more. These molecules attracts each other due to the molecular force. When two molecules are very near to each other enormous force is to be applied to seperate them. In short the molecules want always stay together.
When you dilute, it is the same way as taking away most of the crabs. Then the molecule have more freedom of movement. There is nothing to deter their movement.
Let us now take the case of diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is caused by the pancreas not producing enough insulin. The beta cells of pancreas must have become less efficient due to aging or due to some disease. These cells can be rejuvenated by introducing proper chemicals into the cells. The problem is that the cell mebrane acts as a barrier. It requires an external force to break the barrier and push the necessary molecules inside. And here comes the advantage of dilution and consequent increase in potency. When diluted the energy required for the medicine molecules to break away from the parent body is phenominally reduce. One can say practically nill. It has to have enough energy to push through the cell membrane. So in short it can reach its target much more easily and start its work.
How this particular chemical works to make the concerned cell is being investigated and it is not yet ready for discussion. I hope this will put to rest the present arguments.
