Homeopathic Educational ServicesBELOW IS AN EMAIL FROM PROFESSOR ENNIS WHO HAS CONFIRMED SPECIFIC INSTANCES IN WHICH THE EXPERIMENTER, WAYNE TURNBULL, DID NOT FOLLOW HER EXPERIMENTAL PROTOCOLS.
From: "Madeleine Ennis" Dear Dana [*NOTE: This refers to Lionel Milgrom, a chemist and a homeopath, who witnessed the making of the homeopathic doses of histamine and who observed extremely sloppy procedures. This information is a part of this body of evidence that expressed concerns about this study] Again I find it fascinating that everybody is not trying to repeat
the original observations i.e the extensive work published by Sainte-Laudy
and Belon but rather the small experiment that I published but I suppose
that since that is in the public eye it will stay wrong for eternity. I spoke to Wayne on 25 th November in the afternoon and merely commented
on differences in his protocol. I can not say what impact they would
have had as I have not tested out his protocol. It differs from the one
that we were following i.e. the work published by Sainte-Laudy. [NOTE: This step alone would be enough to consider this research to be junk science. Ammonium chloride would kill all of the basophils, even before any homeopathic medicine would be administered.] He added in a passive sensitization step and said that the cells were
used within 24 h for the assay (we would not leave our basophils hanging
around for such a long time). They were left in the presence of 10% foetal
calf serum (this is not a defined medium and could contain many things
that might influence an assay). Madeleine ***************************************************************** |
