Abstract

Background: The healing effects of homeopathic ultra-high potencies (UHPs) have always been a puzzle for material science, though recent research papers have now characterised the nanomaterial nature of several such UHPs. This study aimed to analyse the material content of clinically used potencies of the homeopathic medicine Platina (platinum) compared with alcohol control samples.

Methods: Potencies of Platina were analysed under dynamic light scattering (DLS), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and selected area electron diffraction (SAED) to identify the nanomaterial content. As control samples, both unsuccussed and potencies of alcohol were analysed by using DLS and HRTEM.

Results: Platina 30c to CM: Nanoparticles were identified under DLS (mean particle size varying from 1.3 nm in 30c to 6.5 nm in CM) and HRTEM (particle size varying from 3.31 to 12.7 nm in 30c to 1.94 to 8.54 nm in CM). EDS confirmed the presence of platinum in all the samples of Platina. SAED analysis of Platina 30c, 200c, 1M and 10M confirmed also the presence of platinum dioxide (PtO₂). For control samples, DLS and the HRTEM analyses of pharmaceutical grade unsuccussed alcohol and potentized Alcohol (6c, 12c and 30c) did not show any particles.

Conclusion: Homeopathic potentization generated NPs of platinum in ultra-dilutions. NPs in potencies of Platina showed platinum in EDS and PtO₂ in SAED. Importantly, control samples of alcohol did not show the presence of particles under DLS or HRTEM.

稀释铂和酒精对照样品的纳米材料表征。

背景:顺势疗法超高效能(UHPs)的治疗效果一直是材料科学的一个难题，尽管最近的研究论文现在已经描述了几种这样的UHPs的纳米材料性质。本研究旨在分析临床使用的顺势疗法药物铂(铂)与酒精对照样品的物质含量。方法:采用动态光散射(DLS)、高分辨率透射电子显微镜(HRTEM)、能谱仪(EDS)和选择性区域电子衍射(SAED)分析铂的电势，鉴定铂中纳米材料的含量。作为对照样品，用DLS和HRTEM分析了未成功酒精和酒精的效价。结果:铂30c ~ CM:在DLS(平均粒径在30c下为1.3 nm ~ 6.5 nm)和HRTEM(粒径在30c下为3.31 ~ 12.7 nm，在CM下为1.94 ~ 8.54 nm)下鉴定出纳米颗粒。EDS证实铂铂样品中均含有铂。对铂30c、200c、1M和10M的SAED分析也证实了二氧化铂(PtO2)的存在。对于对照样品，DLS和HRTEM分析药物级未琥珀醇和潜在醇(6c, 12c和30c)未显示任何颗粒。结论:顺势疗法能产生超稀释铂的NPs。铂的NPs在EDS中显示铂，在SAED中显示铂。重要的是，酒精的对照样品在DLS或HRTEM下没有显示颗粒的存在。
