title: [Influence of some homeopathic preparations on tumor cells].
abstract: The goal of the study was the assessment of action of homeopathic preparations on ionic homeostasis in the cells of Ehrlich carcinoma (CEC). Continuous recording of Na(+), K(+), and Ca(2+) with selective electrodes in the Ringer solution was used as a main method. Activity of the enzymes controlling transmembrane transport of ions was monitored as well. It was shown that homeopathic preparation - stimulated phosphoric acid (PA), at low dilutions (10(-14) and 10(-42)), stimulates ionic transport and Na,K-ATPase in CEC. Non-stimulated PA, at dilutions of 10(-200) and 10(-400), contrariwise, hampers these indices. It is concluded that structuring of preparation increases with increased number of dilutions and, respectively "concentration of information field" increases as well. Transfer of information from initial substance occurs probably in a course of dilution. Such is the concept of some of the homeopathics.
