Giving a continuous and accurate record of the heart rate like a barometer chart, this recorder will provide valuable information not only on homoeotherapeutic potency action, but will, it is hoped, prove of general use to cardiologists in assessing heart conditions, to physicians in assessing treatment, and to anaesthetists during operations. The Boyd Medical Research Trust which is carrying out this research work is a charitable trust, supported by private and public funds. It is engaged in studying the biophysical properties of the body, its electrical changes on thinking, its electric field, surface electrical changes, radiation etc., while at the same time studying the electrophysical properties of microdoses and their biological and biochemical reactions. The aim is to elucidate effects which suggest strongly that, in certain circumstances, special preparations of drugs act not in the ordinary medicinal way but by virtue of physical or paraphysical properties, as yet little understood. A long and tedious but rigid research on the effect of such drugs on enzyme activity is strongly supporting this view.
Enzymes play a large part in the living processes in the body.
The illustrations show some of the laboratories and workshops of the Trust in which this research work is carried on. The financial contribution of the Board of Management and of the Western Regional Board relates to special fields of research, and funds from other sources are continuously required to meet the needs of other sections of the research work, additional staff salaries and equipment and overhead expenditure. The Board of Management commends the work of the Boyd Medical Research Trust to those of the general public who are interested in research of a pioneering character in medicine.
