Background: Conventional or homeopathic treatment of chronic immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is often difficult. The use of homeopathic dilutions of patient blood (HPB) for immunomodulation has been described, which inspired us to try the method in an ITP case.
Case Report: A 2-year-old girl with chronic ITP was treated with homeopathic dilutions of her own capillary blood, given orally over 5 months. Immediately after treatment onset there was a rapid normalization of the thrombocyte counts. Within 6 weeks, they rose from 15,000/µl to 254,000/µl. After treatment stop, they decreased to 155,000/µl, increased again spontaneously to 270,000/µl and remained within normal range for over 3 years.
Conclusions: Oral administration of homeopathic dilutions of capillary patient blood may possibly be an effective treatment in chronic ITP. If our results can be reproduced, this will revolutionize the treatment of ITP.

Homeopathy was founded some two hundred years ago by Dr Samuel Christian Hahnemann. Over time, it has grown to be among the most frequently used forms of alternative medicine in Europe and the USA. It is underpinned by the principle of 'like cures like', where highly diluted substances are used for therapeutic purposes, by producing similar symptoms to when the substance is used in healthy people.

Multiple factors, such as rising pollution, especially in urban areas; dust particles, such as from air conditioners; house mites; and the use of chemicals and aromatic products can stimulate AR.
Objective: The literature review intended to examine the effectiveness of homoeopathic remedies in immune- and inflammatory-model systems based on the basic homoeopathic principle-the law of similarity of pharmacological action at the cellular level-and to evaluate the effects of dilution or dynamization on the drug activity of Wyethia tested under controlled settings, interpreting data based on similarity.

Background And Objectives: Over the past decade, research using various methods has claimed the material nature, including nanoparticles (NPs), of high homeopathic potencies. The current study aims to verify these findings using NP tracking analysis (NTA).
Methods: Six independent serial dilutions of commonly used homeopathic medicines-either soluble (, , ) or insoluble (, , )-were prepared according to European Pharmacopoeia standards.

Ethnopharmacological Prevalence: Hyperglycemia in diabetes increases the generation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) through non-enzymatic reactions. The interaction between AGEs and their receptors (RAGE) leads to oxidative and inflammatory stress, which plays a pivotal role in developing diabetic nephropathy. Syzygium cumini (SC) L.
