The author describes the activity of homoeopathic high dilutions of tobacco to treat his familial facial seborrhoeic dermatitis induced by the hapten nicotine. A double-blind experiment against placebo and several treatments with continuous and single intakes of tobacco high dilutions led after a break to a late abrogation of dermatitis simulating a desensitization. These observations provide a new possible explanation for the placebo effect and facial seborrhoeic dermatitis is proposed as a new visible model for Benveniste's theory of 'Memory of water'.
作者描述了顺势疗法高稀释度烟草对治疗由半抗原尼古丁引起的家族性面部脂溢性皮炎的作用。针对安慰剂进行的双盲实验以及多次连续和单次摄入烟草高稀释液的几种治疗方法,在一段时间后导致皮炎的延迟消退,模拟了脱敏过程。这些观察结果为安慰剂效应提供了一种新的可能解释,并且面部脂溢性皮炎被提议作为本维尼斯特“水的记忆”理论的一种新的可见模型。
