Dissertation submitted in partial compliance with the requirements for the Master’s Degree in Technology: Homoeopathy,Homoeopathy, Durban Institute of Technology, 2004. / The purpose of this study was to analyse and compare the NMR spectra of three analogous ultra-high dilutions, prepared according to the classical Hahnemannian method and two Anthroposophical methods viz; Wala and Weleda. / M

Mini-dissertation submitted in partial compliance with the requirements of the Master's Degree in Technology: Homoeopathy, Durban Institute of Technology, 2004. / The purpose of this study was to determine the antimicrobial effect of Baptisia tinctoria extract (1:10) in 62% ethanol and Baptisia tinctoria extract (1:10) in distilled water on the in vitro growth inhibition of Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli and Enterococcus faecalis respectively as compared to ethanol and distilled water control. / M

Dissertation submitted in partial compliance with the requirements for the Master's Degree in Technology: Homoeopathy, Durban Institute of Technology, 2004. / The purpose of this study was to analyse and compare the NMR spectra of multiple parallel potencies of the homoeopathic remedy Natrum muriaticum (chosen for its easy solubility and purity) using 0, 10 and 100 succussions. The remedies were prepared using the classical single vial Hahnemannian method with the same potency and the varying numbers of succussion. A comparison was made in terms of the chemical shift and relative integration values of the OH, CH2, CH3 and H2O signals. / M

Dissertation submitted in partial compliance with the requirements for the Masters Degree in Technology: Homoeopathy at the Durban Institute of Technology, 2004. / The aim of the study was to evaluate the relative efficacy ofhomoeopathically prepared Gamma Linolenic acid (GLA) in comparison to supplementation of GLA, in the form of Evening Primrose oil, in the treatment of ADD/ ADHD with regard to inattention, impulsivity and hyperactivity. It was hypothesised that both the homoeopathically prepared GLA and the Evening Primrose oil would result in a substantial improvement in boys diagnosed with ADD/ ADHD and thus lead to their recommendation as an alternative to Methylphenidate hydrochloride (Ritalin\xAE) in the treatment ofthese disorders. / M

Dissertation submitted in partial oomplianoe with the requirements for the Masters Degree in Technology: Homoeopathy, Homoeopathy at Technikon Natal, 1998. / In this dissertation the physical properties of potencies in relation to their use is discussed. The investigation was divided into three: 1) Determination of the physical properties (surface tension and electro-conductivity) of the potencies, 2) Determination of which potencies are used most often (by means of a questionnaire), and 3) To try to find a collaboration between physical properties and use of potencies. / M

Mini-dissertation submitted in compliance with the requirements for the Master's Degree in Technology Homoeopathy, Durban Institute of Technology, 2005. / The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of the Homoeopathic remedy Kalium bromatum 30CH compared to placebo in the treatment of Acne vulgaris. The study was a double blind placebo controlled study. Participants were recruited via advertisements in local newspapers and notices posted at schools, health shops and pharmacies. Thirty volunteers who complied with the inclusion and exclusion criteria were randomly assigned to an experimental or control group of 15 participants each. The treatment period was four weeks which included three consultations. The effect of treatment was measured by determining the reduction in the number of lesions found on the faces of the participants. The lesions were divided into three groups, namely non-inflamed lesions, inflamed lesions and comedones. The Leeds Technique for assessing Acne vulgaris was used. / M

A dissertation in partial compliance with the Master's Diploma in Technology: Homoeopathy, Technikon Natal, 1996. / The aim of the study was to establish the effect of a Helonias complex on the growth of Candida albicans in vitro in terms of growth rate, maximum specific growth rate, latent period before maximum specific growth rate and percentage germ tube production so as to establish the area of action of homoeopathic remedies / M

Thesis (M.Tech.: Homoeopathy)-Dept. of Homoeopathy, Durban Institute of Technology, 2005 xiii, 50 leaves / The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of the Homoeopathic remedy Kalium bromatum 30CH compared to placebo in the treatment of Acne vulgaris.

Thesis (M.Tech.: Homoeopathy)-Dept. of Homoeopathy, Durban Institute of Technology, 2004 1 v. (various pagings) ; 30 cm / The purpose of this investigation was to analyse and compare the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectra of potencies of Natrum muriaticum 15CH prepared by trituration and succussion, and Natrum muriaticum 15CH prepared by succussion alone. It was hypothesized that in terms of the effect of trituration (or not) of these substances that significant differences exist between the chemical shift and relative integration values of the CH2, CH3, H2O and OH signals of these homoeopathic substances. It was further hypothesized that the process of trituration plays an integral part in the development of distinct physicochemical identities in the potencies mentioned above.

Thesis (M.Tech.: Homoeopathy)-Dept. of Homoeopathy, Durban Institute of Technology, 2004 xiv, 93 leaves : ill. ; 30 cm / The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of a water-based extraction of Hydrastis canadensis on the in vitro growth of Candida albicans and Escheria coli, to a control of distilled water in terms of the size of the zones of inhibition in the disc diffusion assay and turbidity of growth in the tube dilution method. These results were compared to the results obtained from similar experiments using an ethanol-based tinctures of Hydrastis canadensis.
