ABSTRACT
The homeopathic scientific model suffers constant criticism due to employ different assumptions and antagonistic to conventional scientific model, despite constantly develop studies confirming their premises [1-3]. The preferred target of the critics and skeptics rests on the principle of similitude curative (‘like cures like’) and the use of ultra-high dilutions (dynamized medicines). While the principle of similitude is scientifically grounded in the rebound effect (paradoxical reaction) of conventional drugs [4,5], being recently proposed its therapeutic application by modern pharmacology (‘paradoxical pharmacology’) [6-8], several studies show clinical, biological and physical-chemistry activities of ultra-high dilutions in experimental models [9].
RESUMO
Omodelo científico homeopático sofre constantes críticas devido a empregar diferentes pressupostos e antagônicas ao modelo científico convencional , apesar de constantemente desenvolver estudos confirmando suas instalações [1-3]. O alvo preferido dos críticos e céticos se baseia no princípio da similitude curativa ( " semelhante cura semelhante " ) eo uso de ultra- altas diluições ( dinamizado medicamentos). Embora o princípio da similitude é cientificamente fundamentada no efeito rebote ( reação paradoxal ) de medicamentos convencionais [4,5] , sendo proposto recentemente a sua aplicação terapêutica pela farmacologia moderna (' farmacologia paradoxal " ) [ 6-8] , vários estudos mostram clínica , atividades biológicas e físico- química de ultra- altas diluições em modelos experimentais [9].
