Biochemical efficiency of homoeopathically and electronically prepared D8 of potassium cyanatum

Introduction: The oxidative degradation of urate to allantoin and CO2 is ca talyzed by the enzyme uricase. Its activity was determined in the presence of two potassium cyanatum preparations in the dilution step D8, which diffe red by the method of preparation. While variant 1 (homoeopathic D8) was pre pared homoeopathically, variant 2 (electronic D8) was produced electronical ly. Objective: The target of these studies was to investigate the impact of homoeopathic and electronic D8 on the catalytic activity of uricase. Metho ds: In the presence of these tow D8 variants, the enzymic degradation of ur ate was determined by a spectrophotometric assay over a period of 10 minute s. Results: 1. In the presence of homoeopathic D8 a stimulation of enzyme a ctivity was detected. 2. In the case of electronic D8 neither a stimulation nor an inhibition of enzyme-catalyzed urate degradation was observed. 3. T he differences in the effect of homoeopathic and electronic D8 on uricase w ere found to be statistically relevant. Conclusions: With the help of a cel l-free system, such as uricase, it is possible to detect differing effects of homoeopathically and electronically prepared D8. In contrast to the elec tronic D8, the homoeopathic D8 is capable of modulating the enzyme activity . This observation leads to the assumption that homoeopathically prepared d rugs are superior in their therapeutical efficiency to electronically produ ced drugs. However, the interpretation would be allowed, too, that the cell -free system-used in this study, which has been isolated from an organism, is no longer in a position to react to an electronically prepared potency.
