Title

Samuel Hahnemann, Hormesis and a Probable Mechanism of Action of Homeopathic Remedies.

Authors

Merizalde, Bernardo A.

Abstract

The author argues that hormesis, a dose-response relationship phenomenon characterized by low-dose stimulation and high-dose inhibition, could prove a useful tool, despite its inexplicably controversial status among many toxicologists and pharmacologists, for demonstrating a probable mechanism of action of low potency homeopathic medicines.
