Electro-Homeopathy or Electro-Homoeopathy or Electro Homeopathy is an alternative system of medicine founded by an Italian named Count Cesar Mattei in the nineteenth century.

The term “Electro-Homeopathy” is derived from “Electro” + “Homeopathy”. The term “Electro-Homeopathy” was used by Count Cesar Mattei to describe his system of medicine because it is based on the Law of Similars and makes use of “Vegetable Electricity” contained in the medicinal plants. Electro Homeopathy or Electrohomeopathy or Electrohomoeopathy is also sometimes called Electropathy.

Advocators of Electro-Homeopathic medicine have described it as a new medical system. Dr. Count Cesar Mattei called his remedies Electro-Homeopathic on account of their instant and efficacious action just like the action of the electricity. He described Electrohomeopathy as an extension and simplification of Homeopathy developed by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann. He used the term “Perfected Homoeopathy” for Electrohomeopathy and called his Electro Homeopathic materia medica as the consummation of the Homeopathic materia medica.

According to Dr. Mattei, any abnormal change in the blood or lymph or both of these vital fluids leads to the diseased states of the human body. Count Mattei recognized four main types of constitutions or temperaments as important in the selection of the Electrohomeopathic remedies, viz., – Sanguine temperament, Bilious temperament, Lymphatic temperament, and Nervous temperament.

The Electrohomeopathic system of medicine employs combination of various medicinal plants in the preparation of a single remedy. Thus, the remedies are called complex remedies. Count Mattei asserted that complex remedies are more effective than simpler ones employed by Homeopathy because diseases are complex in nature and the complex remedies have wider range of action – Complexa Complexis Curantur. Electropathy involves the use of spagyric method of preparation of essences from medicinal plants.

Differences Between Electro-Homeopathy and Homeopathy

There are certain differences between Electro-Homeopathy and Homeopathy. Some of the notable differences are described here below –

  • According to Electrohomeopathy, disease occurs due to vitiation of blood, lymph or both of these fluids, whereas Homeopathy assigns cause of disease to vitiation of vital force.

 

  • In the preparation of the Electro-Homeopathic remedies, only the medicinal plants are employed, i.e., it is a purely plant-based system of medicine. The Homeopathic system of medicine employs medicinal plants, minerals (metals, non-metals and their compounds), animal products, imponderables, morbid tissues / products (nosodes), and healthy tissues / products (sarcodes) in the preparation of remedies.

 

  • Homeopathy relies heavily on symptoms, unlike Electrohomeopathy that focuses on organs and organ systems.

 

  • Electrohomeopathy gives importance to local and external application of remedies, whereas homeopathic system of medicine does not.

 

  • Electrohomeopathy makes use of cohobation and spagyric methods of medicine preparation, unlike Homeopathy.

 

  • Electro-Homeopathy makes use of the complex remedies as described above. In the case of the classical Homeopathic practice, the use of the single remedy is permitted at a time by its founder Dr. Samuel Hahnemann.

Porifera – The Biology of Sponges

This article reveals the Biology of Sponges (phylum Porifera) by studying the Morphology, Anatomy, Histology, and Physiology of Sponges. The author has also included the Reproduction and Development of Sponges.


Porifera
is a phylum comprising of the multi-cellular invertebrate animals called Sponges. The term “Porifera” literally means “Pore Bearers”. The animals of this phylum have tiny pores in their body walls, and this characteristic feature is the basis of the name of this phylum.


Porifera includes very primitive multi-cellular animals having only the cellular level of body organization with no tissues and organs. In Porifera (sponges), only cells show division of labor for the purpose of performing specialized functions. All Poriferans, animals of the phylum Porifera, are aquatic with most of them being marine. Sponges are sessile (not mobile) organisms including both solitary and colony-forming types.

Perl As Programming Language of Choice for Biologists!!

Perl as Programming Language of Choice for Biologists!!

Posted on 28 October 2013

Why Biologists (Bioinformaticians or Bioinformaticists, if the scientific jargon is to be preferred) Prefer Perl?

I am a bioinformaticist, and love Perl over all other computer languages when it comes to programming in biology. This is not only my case, majority of the biologists prefer Perl for their bioinformatics’ tasks. Perl can be given the status of being the mainstay programming language in the field of Bioinformatics (sometimes known as Computational Biology). There must be some reasons why this is the case; actually there are some very strong points that favor the use of Perl in biology over the other lot of available programming languages. But, to be honest, at times, other computer programming languages can be of more benefit than Perl, at least for a specific task. If you are not acquainted with Perl, click here for, what the heck is Perl? In this article, I will explain why it is justified to consider Perl as programming language of choice for biologists, and for the sake of information, I would like to tell that even the non-biologists too prefer it much!
