Studies performed in 5 laboratories have shown that homeopathically prepared highly diluted thyroxin (10(-30)=30x) slowed down metamorphosis of highland amphibians. Metamorphosis of lowland amphibians, however, could be slowed down by a low dilution of thyroxin (10(-8)=8x) if animals had been artificially pretreated with thyroxin.
To combine the advantages of using animals from highland biotopes and hyperstimulation prior to treatment.
Rana temporaria from an alpine biotope were pretreated in an aqueous molecular thyroxin dilution (10(-8) parts by weight, hyperstimulation). This is supposed to accelerate metamorphosis. In accordance with the homeopathic idea of detoxification or cure, one group of these hyperstimulated animals was then treated with thyroxin 30x, and another group with water 30x. Experiments were performed by 4 independent researchers.
As a trend, the thyroxin-30x animals metamorphosed more slowly than the water-30x animals. The number of thyroxin-30x animals that reached the 4-legged stage at defined points in time was slightly smaller at some but not all points in time, compared to control. This is in line with previous findings and can be discussed as an interesting result. Contrary to our working hypothesis, however, differences were not bigger than in the previous experiments in which animals had not been pretreated with thyroxin 10(-8).
This study supports previous findings but does not prove the assumption that pretreatment of highland animals with molecular thyroxine improves the original protocol.
在5个实验室进行的研究表明，顺势疗法制备的高度稀释甲状腺素（10^(-30)=30X）减缓了高地两栖动物的变态发育。然而，如果动物事先经过甲状腺素人工预处理，低地两栖动物的变态发育可以被低稀释度的甲状腺素（10^(-8)=8X）减缓。
结合使用来自高地生物群落的动物和治疗前过度刺激的优势。
将来自高山生物群落的欧洲林蛙在分子甲状腺素水溶液稀释液（重量比为10^(-8)，过度刺激）中进行预处理。这应该会加速变态发育。根据顺势疗法的解毒或治愈理念，然后将一组经过这种过度刺激的动物用30X甲状腺素治疗，另一组用30X水治疗。实验由4名独立研究人员进行。
总的来说，30X甲状腺素组的动物比30X水组的动物变态发育得更慢。在某些但不是所有的时间点，与对照组相比，在特定时间点达到四足阶段的30X甲状腺素组动物数量略少。这与之前的研究结果一致，可以作为一个有趣的结果进行讨论。然而，与我们的工作假设相反，差异并不比之前未用10^(-8)甲状腺素预处理动物的实验更大。
本研究支持之前的研究结果，但并未证明用分子甲状腺素对高地动物进行预处理能改进原始方案这一假设。
