Kolkata Homoeopaths Offer Medicines
for US Lunar Mission
Kolkata
A father-son homoeopath duo from Kolkata impressed Western
scientists with their paper on homoeopathic medicines for health
problems during lunar missions by the US.
Prasanta and Pratip Banerji were the only medical practitioners from
India invited to present their paper at a symposium on lunar
settlements organised by Rutgers University, New Jersey, earlier
this week.
Their paper was on "Possible Use of Ultra-diluted Medicines for
Health Problems during Lunar Missions".
"The presentation got tremendous response," Prasanta Banerji told
IANS from New Jersey.
The other speakers at the seminar were Harrison H. Schmitt, a lunar
model pilot on Apollo 17, and astronomer David H. Levy.
The Rutgers Symposium on Lunar Settlements was organised as a
preparatory effort for provision of life support systems for the
proposed Malapert Base (on the moon). The base is expected to become
habitable by 2025 under the lunar colonisation programme of the US
space agency NASA.
The paper presented by Prasanta and Pratip Banerji was based on the
fact that the moon has no magnetic field and hence problems of
dispersion, solubility, absorption, availability at tissue level,
metabolism and excretion of drugs, including recycling problems and
disposal, do exist.
"Thus, in such a state, the use of conventional medicines has its
limitations. An alternative to conventional medicines will be
ultra-diluted medicines that may help solve the problems," said
Prasanta Banerji.
Ultra-diluted medicines have the capability to act through nerve
terminals when placed on our tongue to execute beneficial roles in
our body.
"Ultra-diluted medicines are also non-toxic, with extended
shelf-life, non-addictive, with negligible weight and volume,
low-cost, and easily administrable," he added.
Malapert Base on the moon is being designed to house a revolving
population of 300 people or more and to last for a minimum of 250
years. One third of the population will expectedly be made up of
lunar tourists and long-term Malapert residents.
