Thesis (M.Tech.: Homoeopathy)-Dept. of Homoeopathy, Durban Institute of Technology, 2004 1 v. (various pagings) : ill. ; 30 cm / 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.

Thesis (M.Tech.: Homoeopathy)-Dept of Homoeopathy, Durban Institute of Technology, 2004 xiii, 238 leaves ; 30 cm / The aim of this comparative study was to determine the effects of the thirtieth centesimal (30CH) potency of the venom of Naja mossambica on healthy individuals with emphasis on the mental and dream symptoms produced by the drug, which were compared to those of Naja tripudians (an existing homoeopathic remedy) so that it may be prescribed according to the Law of Similars, as required by homoeopathic science.

Thesis (M.Tech.: Homoeopathy)-Dept. of Homoeopathy, Durban Institute of Technology, 2004 xi, 91 leaves / The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of a water-based extraction of Echinacea purpura (E. purpura) on the in vitro growth of Candida albicans (C. albicans) and Escherichia coli (E. coli) to a control of distilled water in terms of the size of the zones of inhibition. It also sought to compare the results to those obtained from experiments using ethanol-based tinctures of Echinacea purpura

Thesis (M.Tech.: Homoeopathy)-Dept. of Homoeopathy, Durban Institute of Technology, 2004 1 v. (variuous pagings) ; 30 cm / 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.

Thesis (M.Tech.: Homoeopathy) - Dept. of Homoeopathy, Durban Institute of Technology, 2003 xviii, 122 leaves / This study was designed to investigate the antimicrobial efficacy of Withania somnifera and Xysmalobium undulatum plant tinctures in 62% ethanol in inhibiting the in vitro growth of Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus.

Thesis (M.Tech.: Homoeopathy)-Dept. of Homoeopathy, Durban Institute of Technology, 2004 xviii, 97 leaves ; 30 cm / 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.

Thesis (M.Tech.: Homoeopathy), Durban Institute of Technology, 2006 / The first formal Homoeopathic education programme in South Africa introduced Technikon Natal (now the Durban Institute of Technology – DIT). The course had its first intake in 1989 and has since produced some 10 years of graduates. The programme affords the graduate a Master’s Degree in Technology in Homoeopathy (Ross, 2006). Career paths regarding graduates of this programme have never been investigated. Such an investigation was deemed valuable to clarify areas of difficulty regarding the education provided and the profession as a whole, to ascertain the viability of Homoeopathy as a career. It also aimed to identify possible other career choices a graduate may have with the education received. The study was limited to DIT Homoeopathic graduates from 1994 to 2004. The study was designed to investigate the demographic composition of the group, as well as other aspects of their career since graduation. / M

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.
