Homeopathy Has Preventive Remedy for Anthrax?

Updated: Wed, Oct 24 8:12 AM EDT

CALCUTTA, India (Reuters) - Indian homeopathic practitioners say that
homeopathy, a traditional alternative system of medicine, has a magic
pill
that can prevent anthrax from infecting humans.

Fears of germ warfare have spread worldwide since last month's
attacks
on
New York and Washington as an outbreak of anthrax has spread in the
United States through tainted mail.

Twelve people have contracted the disease so far -- either skin
anthrax
or the
more deadly inhaled version -- and three have died.

"Anthracinum, which is prepared by triturating (grinding) the puss
from
anthrax, is a very effective prophylactic against anthrax," Dr. B.
Gangapadhyay, a former head of the Orissa Medical College of
Homeopathy
and Research, told Reuters.

Homeopathy, seen either as a complement or alternative to orthodox
medicine, uses metals from across the Periodic Table and a whole
range
of
other substances from the plant and animal kingdoms.

Its basic principle is that "like cures like" -- if a substance
produces
certain
symptoms in a healthy individual, it can also treat those symptoms.

"Anthracinum works like magic. If a person just takes a dose (of
anthracinum)
for two days in succession, he would be immune from anthrax for at
least

three months," Gangapadhyay, who practices in Calcutta, said.

Orthodox medical practitioners declined to comment on the
effectiveness
of
the homeopathic remedy.
