چکیده
Can the environment be ill? A mere glance at what happens around us is enough to provide an answer. The next question that naturally pops up in our minds is: how cure it? Now answer not so immediate, but demands more thorough analysis.
 first attempt a solution might fight against everything we consider wrong. This typical human trend, however, results are often too efficient, because impulse “fight against†something triggers kind of positive feedback or recursive effect - as target always reacts thus giving rise degenerative looping movement. As consequence, basic problem remains unsolved, eventually under different shape.
 Another possible approach build new template and let it grow, such way can replace older one. path requires time patience, its seem durable. In this regard, lecture given by Monica Souza, young veterinary doctor, Brazilian Congress Veterinary Homeopathy 2011 worthy notice. lecture, Souza described her experience reorganizing farm exhibited serious productivity problems. initial scenario was discouraging: soil subjected erosion, cattle were severely sick, employees demoralized, owner had progressive cancer depression. To plan solution, recourse all knowledge she about environment, homeopathy biodynamic agriculture. Thus, found step correct pasture reconstituted. animals treated with improved much owner’s family felt encouraged looking for homeopath doctor city. overcame his depression cancer, agreed perform treatment consisting combination conventional anti-neoplastic drugs. Two years later, full system completely reorganized components healthy. It goes without saying Souza’s met standing ovation.
 That anecdote provides good example efficiency non-excluding systemic approaches complex Knowing them deeply also tool avoid risks pseudo-science. Shortly, cross-sectional view understanding whole web help find appropriate methods solve Surely, experimentation, modeling, statistics rigorous scientific essential tools formulate sound frontier science. I believe high dilutions have significant role play regard. work performed past 30 construction basis allowed transforming 19th-century doctrine into promising 21st-century science.
 At recent event conducted Rio de Janeiro, Professor Carolina Oliveira made very interesting observation, wit, study homeopathic agents opposite one think right. known, latter starts from vitro studies move on inexorable vivo efficacy safety, before four phases clinical trials started. Contrariwise, medicines started compilation evidences Hahnemann´s day, case-report trials, involving animal cases. Then, three decades, laboratory models originally fit demonstrate biological effects those drugs using objective parameters – thus, plausibility similia principle lead deeper non-linear features phenomenon, observation coherent interactions among neuro-immune-endocrine after performing specific treatment, producing reestablishment homeostasis levels, same . Actually, main contribution these give toward elucidation mechanism action, going forward original purpose.

The benefits that many patients experience after homeopathic treatment are therefore most probably due to nonspecific treatment effects. Contrary to widespread belief, homeopathy is not entirely devo...
