Questions of the end of the century and millennium. Ecologic pharmacology.
The author starts from the idea that drugs are factors of the external environment, which can produce the pollution of the organism. This raised the problem of the necessity to practice an ecologic pharmacology. Referring to the drugs as part of the material, the author underlines that they represent a unit, substance-energy-information. He considers that the pharmacologic effects are the result mainly of information transmission, while the pharmacotoxicologic effects are produced by substance. There is a single way to reduce the toxic effects, by diminution of the dosage, which is achieved by homeopathy. The author proposes that pharmacology should include two branches, allopathy and homeopathy, the only possibility to perform a pharmacology with a dominant, defining ecologic character.
