What is Biomedical Instrumentation?
It is a branch of Engineering as
Science of using measurements
in Biomedical Studies.
What is Biomedical Engineering?
The study of engineering principles in
Human Medical Science is called Medical
Engineering.
If we wish to cover more animals on the
earth, the science is called Bio-Medical
Engineering.
Why it should be related to
Homeopathy?






To have scientific validations of Homeopathic success.
Both the Sciences getting involved will be benefited.
To create, operate and to develop scientific
parameters to evaluate Homeopathic Bio mechanisms.
No single science is perfect.
These are the days of interdisciplinary researches.
Above and all it’s a need of time.
Problems in Homeopathy !!!









How it acts : Biomechanics
Where it acts : Nerves, Blood, Endocrines, VITAL
FORCE
When it act : Bio reception.
Minuteness of Homoeopathic drugs
Linear dilution : up to what level ?
Drugs : Its pharmacodynamics.
Its Pharmocokinetics
Proving : On Higher animals
On Lower Animals
Direction of cure ( Hahnemann)
Director on cure ( Hering) and Miasms & its
Bioactivities
Kentian Observations and so on ……………
How to solve and
validate it scientifically
?
Scope – I
The study of Engineering principles from
Biomedical Engineering involves following
interests.



To understand mechanism, efficiencies and
physical changes of various subsystem of the
body.
To evolve on Instrumentation system for
diagnosis , therapy to supplementation of body
function.
To obtain qualitative and quantitative
How is this useful for
Homeopathic Science
?
Scope – II
The study of Homeopathic Principles from
Biomedical Engineering point of view involves
following interest :




To understand physiological activities and changes of various
subsystems of the body in normal state i.e. in healthy human being.
To understand above activities and changes in various subsystems of
the body in abnormal states i.e. in pathology
( and in drug proving
)
To obtain qualitative and quantitative measurements of what
Homeopathic drug does to the body ( Pharmacodynamics ) and what
body does to Homeopathic drug ( Pharmacokinetics ) during and after
the prescription of similimum.
To obtain various measurements of miasmatic activities.
A Golden Spark.. ….
“ In the pure science of experience in Physics,
Chemistry and Medicine, merely speculative
reasons can consequently have no voice,
there when it acts alone, it degenerates into
empty speculations and fantasy and produces
only hazardous hypothesis, which in millions
of instances are , and by their very nature
must be self-deception and falsehood. ”
Dr. Samuel Hahnemann
Leipzic 1818 ( End of year )
(From preface of the second edition of Organon)
Introduction of Man-Machine
System :


It is a human being and Instrument
system combined.
A Classical exercise in Biomedical
Engineering analysis involves the
measurements of OUTPUTS from an
unknown system as they are affected by
various combinations of INPUTS.
BLACK BOX
One of the most complex
black box is living organism,
especially the living human
being…
Human Body as Black Box
Human body is a Bio-Chemico- PhysicoElectro-Thermo-Hydraulico-PneumaticoMagneto mechanically engineered
machine, , which runs automatically
through the vital force, which is now a
days called Bio energy.
Bio Potential Signals :



Human body is a source of various bio
potential signals.
Most useful during physiological, clinical
and therapeutic biological activities .
These signals cab be pricked up from
the surface of the body or from within
the body.
These signals are used as parameters
in various biomedical studies.
Dr. S. Hahnemann ,
Father of Homoeopathy quoted ( in Jan 1830 ) in
preface of his book “ Materia Medica Pura ”
I would show how chemistry has been
applied to , in order to wet and dry
distillation to extracts from medicinal
substances, phlegma, eitheral oils
empyreumetic acids and oils, volatile salts
and from residuary caput mortuum fixed
salts and earths ( all nearly indentioal with
one another ) I would set forth the method,
adopted the latest chemical science of
obtaining extracts to be afterwards
inspissated by dissolving their should parts
in various fluids..……
Contd..
contd..
I would describe the mode of separating from
them resin, gum, gluten, starch, wax, albumen,
salts and earths, acids and alkaloids, by means of
reagents, and I would tell how to convert them
into gases . It is well-known that not a single one
of the innumerable medicinal substances, in spite
of all these technical torturing, could be brought
to reveal what sort of healing power it was
possessed of certainly the material substances,
extracted from them were not the spirit animating
every single substance which enables it to cure
certain morbid stages.
This spirit cannot be laid hold
of by the hands, it can only
be recognized by its effects
on the living body……..
