Abstract Paper
One major weakness in homeopathic therapeutics is the use of potentized drugs. Once a centesimal potency reaches level 12, its original drug molecules are not present. This is because the dilution has crossed the Avogadro’s number. Homeopathic potencies are prepared in aqueous ethanol. When the drug molecules are removed through successive dilution, a potency of that drug would contain only the diluent medium, i.e. water and ethanol.
The medium also retains the memory of the specific potency of that drug. Using UV-VIS spectrophotometer, NMR spectrometer and FTIR spectrometer show the significant difference in spectral pattern, position of peak and intensity of absorbance of potentized drugs from those of their mother tinctures and their diluent medium.
In animal experimentation drugs are administered through the oral route. In experiments with plants, germinating seeds potentized drugs are applied by foliar spray. So the medicines first come in contact with the cell membrane. Water is treated as a continuous liquid in and around cells. Homeopathic potencies first interact with water covering integral membrane proteins on cell surfaces.
Under diseased condition the structure of water and conformation of integral membrane proteins on cell surfaces changes. A right homeopathic potency would reorganize the morbid structural geometry of water to its native form thereby initiating a cascade of biochemical reactions inside cells. These reactions ultimately result in restoration of health.

Role of psycho – social causation and subsequent abnormal traits, and also normal traits for the treatment of various types of Arthritis in Homoeopathy.Dr. Sudhansu Sekhar Moharana M.D.(Hom), M.A., M.F. HOM (Malaysia)
Professor & Head, P. G. Dept. of Repertory,
Dr. B. D. Jatti Homoeopathic Medical College & Hospital,
P.G. & Research Centre, Dharwad – 580 001, Karnataka State, INDIA.
Abstract
Psycho – social causation and subsequent abnormal traits is well known causation of psychosomatic ailment such as hypertension, duodenal ulcer, skin disorders, but very few people suffer arthritis. Moreover, normal traits sometimes predispose for arthritis. In this paper six critical arthritis cases e.g., three rheumatoid arthritis cases with defomity, one case of avascular necrosis and one case of gout and one case of post – streptococcal arthritis was cured when medicine selected and differentiated by repertorisation considering all these psycho – social causations, abnormal and normal traits. These cases were referred from allopathic orthopedician and had no relief and got cured by homoeopathic treatment by considering cause, normal and abnormal trait rubrics along with the pathological general, physical generals and other sign and symptoms rubrics by repertorisation. The statistical analysis is done and is as follows:
Medicine Control Group Experimental Group Total
Same as Before 6 (After allopathic treatment) 0 (After Homoeo. Treatment) 6
Cured 0 (After allopathic treatment) 6 (After Homoeo. Treatment) 6
Total 6 6 12
12(6 × 6 – 0 × 0)2 ⁄ 6×6×6×6 = 12
At the degree of freedom 1, at 1% significance level upper tailed value is 6.63, both tailed value is 7.88 and our value is 12. So the test is statistically highly significant.
Introduction
PERSONALITY is the unique dynamic organization within the individual of those psychophysical systems that determine the unique adjustment to his environment stated by G.W.Allport. Thus two identical twins even differ in their behavior with certain unique characteristics in relation to response pattern to both physical as well as psychosocial environment. The sum of these mental and physical differential characteristics from others by external and internal environments are used in psychology for behavioral therapy and for development of interpersonal relationship whereas in homoeopathy the process is known as Individualization used for selection of remedy as well as for counseling. Thus we take the trait approach where “a trait is any distinguishable, relatively enduring way in which one individual differs from another” as stated by Guliford.
Determination of Traits : A trait is determined by unique response to a specific stimuli. For example,
Stimuli Trait Responses
1.Meeting friends
2.Meeting with stangers
3.Dealing with poor and disabled children. Friendliness 1.Helpful
2.Pleasant
3.Warm and interested.
“According to R.B. Cattell, traits are relatively permanent and broad reaction tendencies and serve as the building blocks of personality. He distinguishes between constitutional and environmental mold traits; ability, temperament, and dynamic traits; and surface and source traits.”
The Traits are further subdevided into ability temperament and dynamic traits.
Ability trait refers to person’s skill in dealing with the complexity of a given situation. Thus Intelligent is the ability test by R. B. Cattell.
Temperament traits refers to stylish tendencies – being for example, chronic irritable, moody, easygoing, or bold.
Dynamic traits refers to person’s motivation and interests. An individual may be characterized, for example, as ambitious, power-seeking, or sports oriented.
Unique traits: Unique traits are those specific to one person; for example, Bill is the only person with an interest in collecting 1898 census records for the cities of Baltimore and Los angeles. Virtually all of cattell’s work focuses on common traits, but his incorporation of the Unique – trait concept enables him to emphasize the fact that personalities are unique.
Surface versus Source traits : “The distinction between surface and source traits is perhaps the most important one. Cattell makes.
Surface traits : “simply a collection of trait elements, of greater or lesser width of representation which obviously ‘go together’ in many different individual’s and circumstances”.
A source trait : It is the underlying factor that controls the variation in the surface cluster.”
The major Source traits in 16 Personality Factors:
Low Scored Description Factor Factor High Score Description
Reserved (schizothymia) A- A+ Outgoing (affectiothymia)
Less Intelligent (low”8”) B- B+ More intelligent (high “8”)
Emotional (low ego strength) C- C+ Stable (ego strength)
Humble (submissiveness) E- E+ Assertive (dominance)
Sober (desurgency) F- F+ Happy – go – lucky
Expedient (low superego) G- G+ Conscientious (high superego)
Shy (threctia) H- H+ Venturesome (parmia)
Tough-minded (harria) I- I+ Tender-minded (premsia)
Trusting (alaxia) L- L+ Suspicious (pretension)
Practical (paraxernia) M- M+ Imaginative (autia)
Forthright (artlessness) N- N+ Shrewd (shrewdness)
Placid (assurance) O- O+ Apprehensive (guilt-proneness)
Conservative (conservatism) Q1- Q1+ Experimenting (radicalism)
Group tied (group adherence) Q2¬- Q2+ Self-sufficiency(self-sufficiency)
Casual (low integration) Q3- Q3+ Controlled (high self-concept)
Relaxed (low ergic tension) Q4- Q4+ Tense (Ergic tension)
Newly Discovered Source Traits: In addition to 16 Personality Factors measured by his personality test, Cattell has proposed, based upon extensive subsequent research, seven new factors:
1.Excitability : a factor found in children, increases until early adolescence, and then decreases through adulthood. Cattell stresses that this factor is not to be confused with emotionality and instability. Rather it is a cognitive excitability – a restlessness in which people become hyperactive (Cattell and Kline, 1977, p.113).
2.Zepia versus Coasthenia : People with high scores on Zepia are zestful, enjoying attention, and group action ; Coasthenics lack energy and are reflective and restrained in their behavior.
3.Boorishness versus Mature Socialization : People high on boorishness are ignorant of social requirement, awkward, and unconcerned about others; people characterized by mature socialization are self disciplined, polish and alert to their social responsibility. (Cattell, 1979, pp.66-67).
4.Sanguine Casual individuals are unambitious, self assured, modest and casual. High scores in group dedication with sense of inadequacy are devoted to groups but thinks that others do not see them as successful.
5.Social Panche : People high in social panche feel persecuted by society, whereas explicit self-expression people like drama and the heady discourse of avant grade ideas (Cattell and Kline, 1977, p.119).
Abnormal Traits: Although the source traits utilized in the 16 Personality Factor book can distinguish between normals and neurotics, they do not measure all aspects of deviant behavior and do not asses the characteristic of psychotics. Applying factor analysis to surface traits in the normal and abnormal personality spheres, Cattell has derived 12 new factors that measures psychopathology. These are:
Major abnormal source traits of Cattell asscessed by Clinical Analysis Questionaire:
Fac Normal Source Traits Abnormal Source Traits
D1 Low hypochondriasis: is happy, mind works well, does not find ill health frightening. High hypochondriasis: Shows overconcern with bodily functions, health or disabilities.

Post – Repertorial Result Analysis :
The high valued chilly remedies are Ph-ac-12/6, Asaf-13/6(both 3rd grade heat and chilly remedy), Phos-13/6, Sil.-15/6.
Silicea may not be indicated here as silicea causes inflammation for removal of necrosed / dead tissues. So silicea is contraindicated where inflammation in vital parts not required although in this case scores highest value i.e., 15/6.
1st Prescription : On 21st August 2004, patient was given Asafoetida 30, 4 globules every 6 hourly in water doses. Justicea adhatoda Mother Tincture 15 drops every 6 hourly with water if patient gets bronchial asthma s.o.s. in spite of asafetida action.
After seven days on 28th August 2004, patient reported that he is well of both bronchial asthma and severe pain in both limbs. He was discontinued to take Justicea adhatoda Mother tincture and kept in Asafetida 30, twice a day in water doses as patient’s bronchial asthma may be precipitated in high potency.
After 15 days, on 14th September 2004, patient reported that his pain is reduced but pain in deep pressure and was limping still. He begged permission to go to Dubai to attend the duty at his regular job. Asafoetida 30, twice daily was continued in water doses and permitted to join his job at Dubai.
After one year, patient came from Dubai, he was asymptomatic of pain, tenderness and limping. The MRI was done on 6th day of September 2005 of both hip joints and the MRI finding report is as follows:
Findings:
• Hypointense crescent is seen within the right femoral head. Marrow within appears hypointense on both T1 and T2 weighted images. Minimal marginal irregularity is seen. Superior and anterior quadrants are involved.
• Articular cartilages are intact.
• No synovial effusion is seen.
• Hypointense crescent is seen within the left femoral head.
• Artocular margins are intact. Acetabuli appear normal.
• Post operative changes are seen within both femoral heads. So, here we only find the Minimal marginal irregularity and diminution of synovial effusion only although pain is totally decreased. He is advised to continue Asafoetida 200, once daily in water doses for another two years as there was no asthmatic episode. Meanwhile he is again married and leading a happy wedded life.
Case No. 2. Anxiety Ailment causing high Bored Depression (D7 of R. B. Cattell’s abnormal trait): Here was a case of E.R.R. aged 30 years suffering from Rheumatoid arthritis due to severe mental tension for her drunkard husband’s torture. She was thin, sad, and in apathy. She had taken Nimusilid tablets for one year by allopathic doctors but without any remarkable effect. When she came to me on 23rd March 2004 she had amenorrhoea since three months. She was anaemic, soreness all over body, schwan neck deformity of mid phallengeal joint of right hand’s ring finger. She had soreness in back. All the joints of hands was affected along with knee joints and ankle joints. There was morning stiffness more than one hours and aggravated exertion, and cold and amelioration by rest and warmth. Patient was extremely chilly. She had piles previously. The above complaints started eight years back slowely when her husband started drinking wine and tortured her. She had no significant past history, only burning sole in her childhood. Her appetite was less, thirst was more. She had sweat more in palm and head during summer.
Lab. investigations: Haemoglobulin – 9.6 gm%, ESR – 58 mm at 1st hour by westerngreen method, R.A. factor was positive, Uric acid was 6mg%, in D. L. C. – Neutrophills – 68%, Lymphocytes – 30%, Eosinophils – 2%.

So here we find great value in Sepia which has high bored depression. Thus Sepia 10m one dose was given followed by placebos. After one month she had mense and her schwan neck deformity and sore pain in all joints was reduced. Sepia 10m was repeated after 3 months. On 14th September 2004 her Haemoglobin had increased to 11.2 gm%, ESR was 52 mm at the end of 1st hour, Serum uric acid 5.4 mg%, and RA factor was weakly positive i.e. 1 : 4 .Patient was now totally symptom free but still time is required to get all pathological report negative.

Abstract
Psycho – social causation and subsequent abnormal traits is well known causation of psychosomatic ailment such as hypertension, duodenal ulcer, skin disorders, but very few people suffer arthritis. Moreover, normal traits sometimes predispose for arthritis. In this paper six critical arthritis cases e.g., three rheumatoid arthritis cases with defomity, one case of avascular necrosis and one case of gout and one case of post – streptococcal arthritis was cured when medicine selected and differentiated by repertorisation considering all these psycho – social causations, abnormal and normal traits. These cases were referred from allopathic orthopedician and had no relief and got cured by homoeopathic treatment by considering cause, normal and abnormal trait rubrics along with the pathological general, physical generals and other sign and symptoms rubrics by repertorisation. The statistical analysis is done and is as follows:
Medicine Control Group Experimental Group Total
Same as Before 6 (After allopathic treatment) 0 (After Homoeo. Treatment) 6
Cured 0 (After allopathic treatment) 6 (After Homoeo. Treatment) 6
Total 6 6 12
12(6 × 6 – 0 × 0)2 ⁄ 6×6×6×6 = 12
At the degree of freedom 1, at 1% significance level upper tailed value is 6.63, both tailed value is 7.88 and our value is 12. So the test is statistically highly significant.
Introduction
PERSONALITY is the unique dynamic organization within the individual of those psychophysical systems that determine the unique adjustment to his environment stated by G.W.Allport. Thus two identical twins even differ in their behavior with certain unique characteristics in relation to response pattern to both physical as well as psychosocial environment. The sum of these mental and physical differential characteristics from others by external and internal environments are used in psychology for behavioral therapy and for development of interpersonal relationship whereas in homoeopathy the process is known as Individualization used for selection of remedy as well as for counseling. Thus we take the trait approach where “a trait is any distinguishable, relatively enduring way in which one individual differs from another” as stated by Guliford.
Determination of Traits : A trait is determined by unique response to a specific stimuli. For example,
Stimuli Trait Responses
1.Meeting friends
2.Meeting with stangers
3.Dealing with poor and disabled children. Friendliness 1.Helpful
2.Pleasant
3.Warm and interested.
“According to R.B. Cattell, traits are relatively permanent and broad reaction tendencies and serve as the building blocks of personality. He distinguishes between constitutional and environmental mold traits; ability, temperament, and dynamic traits; and surface and source traits.”
The Traits are further subdevided into ability temperament and dynamic traits.
Ability trait refers to person’s skill in dealing with the complexity of a given situation. Thus Intelligent is the ability test by R. B. Cattell.
Temperament traits refers to stylish tendencies – being for example, chronic irritable, moody, easygoing, or bold.
Dynamic traits refers to person’s motivation and interests. An individual may be characterized, for example, as ambitious, power-seeking, or sports oriented.
Unique traits: Unique traits are those specific to one person; for example, Bill is the only person with an interest in collecting 1898 census records for the cities of Baltimore and Los angeles. Virtually all of cattell’s work focuses on common traits, but his incorporation of the Unique – trait concept enables him to emphasize the fact that personalities are unique.
Surface versus Source traits : “The distinction between surface and source traits is perhaps the most important one. Cattell makes.
Surface traits : “simply a collection of trait elements, of greater or lesser width of representation which obviously ‘go together’ in many different individual’s and circumstances”.
A source trait : It is the underlying factor that controls the variation in the surface cluster.”
The major Source traits in 16 Personality Factors:
Low Scored Description Factor Factor High Score Description
Reserved (schizothymia) A- A+ Outgoing (affectiothymia)
Less Intelligent (low”8”) B- B+ More intelligent (high “8”)
Emotional (low ego strength) C- C+ Stable (ego strength)
Humble (submissiveness) E- E+ Assertive (dominance)
Sober (desurgency) F- F+ Happy – go – lucky
Expedient (low superego) G- G+ Conscientious (high superego)
Shy (threctia) H- H+ Venturesome (parmia)
Tough-minded (harria) I- I+ Tender-minded (premsia)
Trusting (alaxia) L- L+ Suspicious (pretension)
Practical (paraxernia) M- M+ Imaginative (autia)
Forthright (artlessness) N- N+ Shrewd (shrewdness)
Placid (assurance) O- O+ Apprehensive (guilt-proneness)
Conservative (conservatism) Q1- Q1+ Experimenting (radicalism)
Group tied (group adherence) Q2¬- Q2+ Self-sufficiency(self-sufficiency)
Casual (low integration) Q3- Q3+ Controlled (high self-concept)
Relaxed (low ergic tension) Q4- Q4+ Tense (Ergic tension)
Newly Discovered Source Traits: In addition to 16 Personality Factors measured by his personality test, Cattell has proposed, based upon extensive subsequent research, seven new factors:
1.Excitability : a factor found in children, increases until early adolescence, and then decreases through adulthood. Cattell stresses that this factor is not to be confused with emotionality and instability. Rather it is a cognitive excitability – a restlessness in which people become hyperactive (Cattell and Kline, 1977, p.113).
2.Zepia versus Coasthenia : People with high scores on Zepia are zestful, enjoying attention, and group action ; Coasthenics lack energy and are reflective and restrained in their behavior.
3.Boorishness versus Mature Socialization : People high on boorishness are ignorant of social requirement, awkward, and unconcerned about others; people characterized by mature socialization are self disciplined, polish and alert to their social responsibility. (Cattell, 1979, pp.66-67).
4.Sanguine Casual individuals are unambitious, self assured, modest and casual. High scores in group dedication with sense of inadequacy are devoted to groups but thinks that others do not see them as successful.
5.Social Panche : People high in social panche feel persecuted by society, whereas explicit self-expression people like drama and the heady discourse of avant grade ideas (Cattell and Kline, 1977, p.119).
Abnormal Traits: Although the source traits utilized in the 16 Personality Factor book can distinguish between normals and neurotics, they do not measure all aspects of deviant behavior and do not asses the characteristic of psychotics. Applying factor analysis to surface traits in the normal and abnormal personality spheres, Cattell has derived 12 new factors that measures psychopathology. These are:
Major abnormal source traits of Cattell asscessed by Clinical Analysis Questionaire:
Fac Normal Source Traits Abnormal Source Traits
D1 Low hypochondriasis: is happy, mind works well, does not find ill health frightening. High hypochondriasis: Shows overconcern with bodily functions, health or disabilities.

Utility of mental causation and abnormal or normal traits in treatment:
Case No. 1 Anxiety Ailments: A case of avascular necrosis of head of both the femur
Mr. J.P. aged 28 years, had allergic bronchial asthma with avascular necrosis of head of the femur of both the legs. He had severe mental agony with wife resulted in divorce.
Present Complaints : He had pain in hip, limping & was unable to sit in squating position complained on 21st August 2004.Severe pain in hip, aggravated by movements.
He had pain in hip, limping & was unable to sit in squating position.Cough and hip pain is aggravated by cold. Oedema of the synovial membrane. All the problems were aggravated by alcohol to which he was used to especially after matrimonial anxiety. Patient had undergone allopathic treatment and core drilling by allopathic orthopedicians without any relief.
The X-Ray : Patchy sclerotic / lytic areas are seen involving the right femoral head.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging was done on 25th July 2004.Findings:
• Hypointense crescent is seen within the right femoral head. Marrow within appears hypointense on both T1 and T2 weighted images. Some marginal irregularity is seen. Superior and anterior quadrants are involved.
• Articular cartilages are intact.
• Synovial effusion is seen.
• Hypointense crescent is seen within the left femoral head.

The high valued chilly remedies are Ph-ac-12/6, Asaf-13/6(both 3rd grade heat and chilly remedy), Phos-13/6, Sil.-15/6.
Silicea may not be indicated here as silicea causes inflammation for removal of necrosed / dead tissues. So silicea is contraindicated where inflammation in vital parts not required although in this case scores highest value i.e., 15/6.
1st Prescription : On 21st August 2004, patient was given Asafoetida 30, 4 globules every 6 hourly in water doses. Justicea adhatoda Mother Tincture 15 drops every 6 hourly with water if patient gets bronchial asthma s.o.s. in spite of asafetida action.
After seven days on 28th August 2004, patient reported that he is well of both bronchial asthma and severe pain in both limbs. He was discontinued to take Justicea adhatoda Mother tincture and kept in Asafetida 30, twice a day in water doses as patient’s bronchial asthma may be precipitated in high potency.
After 15 days, on 14th September 2004, patient reported that his pain is reduced but pain in deep pressure and was limping still. He begged permission to go to Dubai to attend the duty at his regular job. Asafoetida 30, twice daily was continued in water doses and permitted to join his job at Dubai.
