Abstract

We tested if some #ultra-highly diluted (by a factor of 10⁶⁰) #homeopathic remedies could induce demonstrable enhanced resistance to the bacteria, Escherichia coli, against infectivity potentials of the host-specific #DNA bacteriophage- ΦX174. Evaluation of anti-viral efficacy, if any, of certain homeopathic remedies with claimed anti-viral effect was made with the aid of the 'bacteriophage assay system' by 'top layer agar plating' method of plaque counting. The number of plaques was recorded in #agar-plated petri dishes, containing different drug-treated (1% v/v; #Belladonna 30C, Rhus Tox 30C, Arnica 30C, and subsequently Aconite 30C) or placebo treated (succussed 1% "alcoholic vehicle” of the drug, Alc-30C, considered placebo or +tive control) bacteria plus the untreated phage mixture. The plaques actually represented the colony of bacteria lysed (or infected) by the phage ΦX174. Conversely, we exposed ΦX174 to the homeopathic drugs and placebo before allowing them to interact with the untreated bacteria to ascertain if the drug itself had any direct effect on #infective potential of the phage DNA entering into the bacterial cell.
