Title : High dilution of Covid-19 positive throat swab shows prophylactic effect and its spectroscopic Studies
Abstract:
High dilutions (HDs) of drugs used in Homeopathy are identical in the composition containing ethanol and water. Yet they show specific therapeutic action on patients. Aims: HDs prepared by serial dilution and succussion are called potencies. Do the potency ranks show any difference from each other? Do serial dilution and succussion contribute to the difference in potency ranks? This study aims to address these two questions. Methodology: The throat swab of a Covid-19 patient was preserved and diluted with aqueous EtOH 90% to prepare the mother tincture (MT)and five different potencies of Covid named Covidinum 6, 12, 30, 200, and 1000cH.Electronic and vibrational (FT-IR) spectroscopy analysed these potencies and their solvent media. Results and Discussion: Charge transfer (CT) and proton transfer interactions occur during the preparation of the potencies. After normalization, the FT-IR spectra of all the test samples show differences from each other concerning O-H stretching and bending (v2) bands. Serial dilution and succussion contribute to the observed difference in ranks and CT interactions. Covidinum is a new Homeopathic nosode, and its symptoms and therapeutic effect have not yet been ascertained. It is a preliminary study. We have tested this drug to group of a people around us who have taken this drug once in a week during the pandemic, did not show any flu-like symptoms.
