[Book] Signals and Images: Contributions and Contradictions about High Dilution Research
This book is a compilation of selected findings presented between the 16th Symposium and the 21st Symposium of the GIRI, including the one held in São Paulo in 2006, the first meeting organized in the American continent, which gave new colors to the group.
A scientific committee, composed by Dr. Michel Van Wassenhoven; Dr. Catherine Gaucher; Dr. Richard Blostin; Prof. Carlos Renato Zacharias and Prof. Leoni Villano Bonamin did the selection of lectures. All chapters were submitted to peer-review before to be published. Researchers observed the bioethical aspects according their own countries statements.
The publication of the 3rd volume demonstrates the will of the GIRI members to continue the work that Madeleine Bastide pursued with courage, perseverance and dedication to strengthen homeopathy through rigorously managed high-level research, conducted by an international multidisciplinary group of competent researchers. The present volume was structured in a similar format then the formers. It is divided in six parts: epistemology, in which the concepts proposed by Madeleine Bastide and Agnès Lagache are discussed upon new experimental results, basic research - physics, basic research - biology, clinical research, veterinary research and practice and an epilogue, in which some reflections about the interest of homeopathy of promoting health in developing countries are exposed by Dr. Catherine Gaucher, who founded the 'Homeopathes Sans Frontières'. As a natural result of different and multidisciplinary approaches, some chapters can be apparently contradictories, some concepts that are discussed can be quite polemic, some results can be unexpected. . . . But this is science.
This is the GIRI's face. Undoubtedly, high dilutions, homeopathy and related disciplines are still opened subjects.
For this last GIRI book edited by our past-President Prof Leoni Bonamin, it is now possible to buy it only chapter by chapter. A less expensive way to obtain the only 'paper' you wish for.
