THE FOLLOWING SPECIFICATION PARTICULARLY DESCRIBES THE INVENTION AND THE MANNER IN WHICH IT IS TO BE PERFORMED.

FIELD
The present disclosure relates to a medicinal formulation for treating inflammatory diseases.
BACKGROUND
Inflammation is a key biological response and expression in most acute and chronic disease processes, induced by allergies, infection, tissue injury, metabolic factors, immunologically mediated diseases, malignancies and others. It is a protective attempt by the organism to remove the injurious stimuli and to initiate the healing process. It is a process in which the white blood cells, immunocytes and various chemicals of the body help to protect from infection (bacteria, virus, etc), foreign substances as well as internal factors.
Inflammation treatment is an important and growing area of biomedical research and health care because inflammation mediates and is the primary driver of many medical disorders and autoimmune diseases. Many researches have been carried out in the past for the treatment of inflammatory diseases by various approaches. Some of the prior art documents which disclose treatment of inflammation are described herein below:
US2006153 845 discloses a method of correcting pathologic immune reactions by administering antibodies to cytokines characterized by the use of activated form of ultra-low doses of monoclonal, polyclonal, or natural antibodies to cytokines involved in the course of inflammation.
US2012100155 discloses a pharmaceutical agent for use in the treatment of inflammation, in a subject prone to and/or experiencing an excessive inflammatory response as a result of infection with an infectious agent and/or exposure to an allergen and/or exposure to an environmental trigger. The pharmaceutical agent comprises an agent for preventing, hindering, modulating or reducing: (a) the production, activity and/or effect of one or more cytokines; and/or (b) the functionality of one or more cells that are targets for the cytokines; and/or (c) a pathological effect caused by cells producing and/or activated by the cytokines. The

pharmaceutical agent comprises an anti-cytokine antibody or a cytokine-neutralizing fraction of such an antibody.
US2012064122 discloses use of microRNA-155 to reduce tissue specific autoimmune inflammation, treat autoimmune disease and modulate expression of cytokines from dendritic cells.
US2012058205 discloses a pharmaceutical composition for treating inflammation. The composition comprises a fibrate anti-hyperlipidemic agent, a MG-CoA reductase inhibitor, an aldosterone antagonist and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
WO2012026771 discloses a composition comprising Wercklea insignis extracts and fractions thereof for preventing and treating inflammatory diseases or asthma,
The known treatments mainly act by blocking certain types of cytokines to inhibit the disease producing action. Such anti-mode of therapy has been found to have desired effects as well as undesired effects. Accordingly, there is a need of a simple, potent and cost effective formulation which can effectively treat inflammation by modulating the cytokine signals.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Homeopathic medicine is micro-dosed natural substance derived from botanical, animal or mineral sources. Homeopathic remedies are prepared by serial dilution with shaking by forceful striking on hard surface; the process is termed as succussion. Each dilution followed by succussion is assumed to increase the effectiveness. This process is called potentization. Dilution often continues until none of the original substance remains. This process transforms the original substance into a therapeutically active medicine.
Potentization is a mathematico-mechanical process for rendering inert or poisonous substances, chemicals, antigens, substances containing pathological residues, to a state of physical solubility, physiological assimilability so as to enhance their therapeutic activity and harmlessness, for use as a therapeutic agent.
The primary object of potentization is to reduce all substances designed for therapeutic use to "a state of approximately perfect solution or complete ionization, which is fully accomplished only by infinite dilution." (Arrhenius.)
The Homeopathic Law of Similars states that any substance which has a capacity to cause certain symptoms also has a potential of removing the same, if administered in small (potentized) dose.
Cytokines are proteins which are key mediators of both local and systemic immune-inflammatory responses that are secreted by various types of immune cells and serve as signaling chemicals which play vital role in governing the direction, amplitude, and duration of the inflammatory response.
There are two main categories of cytokines: pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory. Pro-inflammatory cytokines are produced predominantly by activated immune cells such as microglia and are involved in the amplification of inflammatory reactions.

Anti-inflammatory cytokines are involved in the reduction of inflammatory reactions.
In accordance with the present disclosure, there is provided an oral formulation for the treatment of inflammation. The formulation mainly contains at least one cytokine in potentized form. Particularly, the anti-inflammatory formulation in accordance with the present disclosure contains a homogenized mixture of at least two potentised cytokines. The potency of the formulation in accordance with the present disclosure ranges between 6c and 100000c. In one embodiment the potency ranges between 6c and 1000c.
In accordance with the present disclosure the cytokines include but are not limited to IL la (interleukin 1-alpha), IL lb (interleukin 1-beta), IL 2, IL 4, IL 5, IL 6, Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha (TNF-α), INF-gamma, IL 12, IL 13, IL 17, II 20 and IL 23.
In accordance with the present disclosure the potentized cytokine is a serially diluted cytokine in at least one vehicle selected from the group consisting of normal saline, distilled water and ethyl alcohol. The proportion of the cytokine to the vehicle ranges between 1:99 and 1:1. The potency of the cytokine used in the formulation of the present disclosure ranges between lc to 100000c, where 'c' denotes centesimal potency. In one embodiment the potency is at least 5c. In accordance with exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure the potency ranges between 5c and 1000c.
In one embodiment the formulation is in the form of liquid.
The anti-inflammatory formulation further contains a physiologically acceptable carrier selected from the group consisting of lactose, calcium carbonate, microcrystalline cellulose and sucrose. Typically, the carrier is sucrose globules or lactose globules.
In one embodiment the formulation is in the form of globules soaked with antiinflammatory formulation of the present disclosure.

The following list states the role of the cytokines used in the anti inflammatory formulation of the present disclosure in various diseases; which also implies their application for the same diseases, when used in a homeopathic form.

Inflammation is the key pathophysiological process in all of the above disease conditions; which can be addressed by using potentized cytokines as supportive or principal treatment modality.
In accordance with another aspect of the present disclosure there is also provided a
process for preparing the anti-inflammatory formulation.
In one exemplary embodiment the process involves the following steps;
In the first step, pre-determined quantity of at least one cytokine selected from the
group consisting of IL la (interleukin 1-alpha), IL lb (interleukin 1-beta), IL 2. IL 4,
IL 5, IL 6, TNF-a (Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha), INF-y, IL 12, IL 13, IL 17, IL 20
and IL 23 is obtained.
In the next step, the obtained at least one cytokine and at least one vehicle selected from the group consisting of normal saline, distilled water and ethyl alcohol are mixed with potentization in a ratio of 1:99 to 1:1 to obtain a primary dilution.
The primary dilution is then serially diluted with potentization with a vehicle selected from the group consisting of normal saline, distilled water and ethyl alcohol in a ratio of 1:99 to 1:1 to obtain a formulation of a potency ranging between 6c and 100000c.
In another exemplary embodiment the process involves the following steps: In the first step, pre-determined quantity of at least two cytokines selected from the group consisting of IL la (interleukin 1-alpha), IL lb (interleukin 1-beta), IL 2, IL 4, IL 5, IL 6, TNF-a (Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha), INF-y, IL 12, IL 13, IL 17, IL 20 and IL 23 is obtained,
Each of the cytokines is diluted with potentization separately with at least one vehicle selected from the group consisting of normal saline, distilled water and ethyl alcohol in a ratio of 1.99 to 1:1 to obtain a primary dilution of each of the cytokines.

In the next step, the primary dilutions of at least two cytokines in a ratio of 1: 1 to 1:10 are mixed to obtain a mixture. The mixture is then serially diluted with potentization with a vehicle selected from the group consisting of normal saline, distilled water and ethyl alcohol in a ratio of 1:99 to 1:1 to obtain a formulation of a potency ranging between 6c and 100000c.
In accordance with still another exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure the process involves the following steps:
In the first step, pre-determined quantity of at least two cytokines selected from the group consisting of IL la (interleukin 1-alpha), IL lb (interleukin 1-beta), IL 2, IL 4, IL 5, IL 6, TNF-a (Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha), iNF-y, IL 12, IL 13, IL 17, IL 20 and IL 23 is obtained.
In the next step, at least two cytokines are then mixed together with potentization in a ratio of 1: 1 to 1:10 along with at least one vehicle selected from the group consisting of normal saline, distilled water and ethyl alcohol to obtain a primary dilution. The ratio of cytokines to vehicle is maintained in a range from 1:99 to 1:1.
The primary dilution is further serially diluted with potentization with a vehicle selected from the group consisting of normal saline, distilled water and ethyl alcohol in a ratio of 1:99 to 1:1 to obtain a formulation of a potency ranging between 6c and 100000c.
In accordance with still another exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure the process involves the following steps:
In the first step, predetermined quantity of at least two cytokines selected from the group consisting of IL la (interleukin 1-alpha), IL lb (interleukin 1-beta), IL 2, IL 4, IL 5, IL 6, TNF-a (Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha), INF-y, IL 12, IL 13, IL 17, IL 20 and IL 23 is obtained.

In the next step, each of the cytokines is diluted with potentization separately with at least one vehicle selected from the group consisting of normal saline, distilled water and ethyl alcohol in a ratio of 1:99 to 1:1 to obtain a primary dilution of each of the cytokines.
The primary dilution of each of the cytokines is serially diluted with potentization with a vehicle selected from the group consisting of normal saline, distilled water and ethyl alcohol in a ratio of 1:99 to 1:1 to obtain serially diluted cytokines. Then, at least two serially diluted cytokines are mixed with potentization in a ratio of 1: 1 to 1:10 to obtain a mixture. Finally, the mixture is serially diluted with potentization with a vehicle selected from the group consisting of normal saline, distilled water and ethyl alcohol in a ratio of 1:99 to 1:1 to obtain a formulation of a potency ranging between 6c and 100000c.
The process of the present disclosure further comprises a step of soaking the carrier globules with the formulation of the present disclosure. The potentization is effected by holding a securely stoppered glass bottle containing the diluted cytokine in a closed fist and striking on a hard surface repeatedly at a frequency of 10 strokes in two minutes.
Alternatively, the potentization is effected by a mechanical device which strikes a bottle on a hard surface and exerts a force of at least 6 dynes rhythmically at a frequency of 10 strokes in two minutes.
In accordance with the present disclosure it is found that the potentised cytokines are able to produce or initiate effects contrary to the direct effects of the respective cytokines. In other words, there is a possibility that the potentised cytokines may induce antibodies in human body which may work against the respective cytokines and their activities; thereby reversing the disease process and leading to disease control as well as recovery.

The present disclosure is further illustrated herein below with the help of the following examples. The examples used herein are intended merely to facilitate an understanding of ways in which the embodiments herein may be practiced and to further enable those of skill in the art to practice the embodiments herein, Accordingly, the examples should not be construed as limiting the scope of the embodiments herein.
Example 1:
10μg of cytokine (IL-1) was mixed with about 90 ml of distilled water in a one dram size vial. The resultant mixture was thoroughly shaken and 10l powerful strokes were given using a mechanical device. This mixture was labeled as c (lc potency).
In the next step, lmI of lc mixture was mixed with 99 parts of vehicle (normal saline) in another vial to undergo potentization with about 10 mechanical strokes to arrive at
2c potency. Likewise, the procedure was repeated to reach to 3c, 4c 30c.50c,..100
c, 1000c, 50000c, up to 10 million c potencies.
Example 2:
20 μg of cytokines (IL-1 and TNF-α, in 1:1 proportion) was mixed with about 90 ml of ethanol in a one dram size vial. The resultant mixture was thoroughly shaken and 10 powerful strokes were given using a mechanical device. This mixture was labeled as lc (lc potency). The process of example 1 was repeated to obtain a formulation having 30c potency.
Example 3:
In the first step, lOμg of cytokine (IL-2) was obtained and serially diluted with potentization as per the process of example 1 to obtain 5c potency sample. In the second step, lOμg of cytokine (INF-γ) was obtained and serially diluted with potentization as per the process of example 1 to obtain 5c potency sample. Both the samples were mixed together with potentization to obtain a mixture. 1 ml of the mixture was mixed then with 99 parts of distilled water in another vial to undergo

potentization with about 10 mechanical strokes to arrive at 6c potency. The 6c potency sample was then further serially diluted with potentization to obtain a formulation having 30c potency.

34: A 57 years old man was presented with Chronic Mastoiditis, inflammation of mastoid associated with Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media. He reported that he is suffering with severe pain in his left ear with discharge and low-grade fever since over a month and he already took antibiotics for several days, which didn't provide him significant relief. His x-ray showed sclerotic changes in left mastoid with changes suggestive of chronic Mastoiditis and preliminary destruction of the left bone with cavity formation suggestive of cholesteatoma.
He was prescribed a homeopathic medicine, Silica 30, three times a day for seven days. However, he didn't find any relief. Then he was prescribed IL-1 (alpha and beta), 30c potency, three times a day for seven days. Significant reduction in mastoid inflammation and pain in ear was reported after seven days.

He was then prescribed IL-2, 30c potency, thrice a day for a month. About 30% improvement was found with some relapses. He was further prescribed IL-1 (alpha and beta), 30c potency, along with IL-2, 30c potency, thrice a day for a month. After this treatment he reported significant reduction in the inflamed lesions of psoriasis on many parts of the body. Further, his itching was reduced drastically. In this case, a combination of IL-1 with IL-2 proved to be effective.

36. 41 years old man was presented with severe Ankylosing Spondylitis with back, shoulder and neck pain, stiffness and immobility. He was suffering with aforesaid problem since over two years. He was prescribed IL 17, 30c potency, thrice a day for 2 weeks. After the treatment he got partial relief. However, considering the severity of inflammation, affecting multiple joints, he was then prescribed a combination of various cytokines. He was prescribed IL-1, IL-2, TNF-a, IL 12 and INF-g, 30c potency, thrice a day for a month. He reported significant reduction in pain and his overall health was also improved, including better mobility, reduced stiffness and better sleep.

Her pain in joints reduced considerably. The medicine was continued for six more months. Various potencies were used in the course of treatment, such as 30c, 50c, 100c, 400c and 500c. A significant reduction in pain was found. Also partial reduction in her vitiligo spots was also reported.
38. A 40 years old man was presented with Ankylosing Spondylitis. He was suffering
from the same since last 8 years. Further, he reported that he is also suffering with
Anxiety Neurosis since last six months. He was earlier diagnosed as a case of
fibromyalgia but his clinical picture was in favor of Ankylosing Spondylitis, in spite
of HLA-B27 being negative. He was prescribed TNF-a, IL-17, IL 2 and IL 13 in 30c
potency for a month. It was found that there is reduction in pain. The medicine of the
present disclosure was continued for six months in various potencies such as 50c,
100c, and 300c. A significant reduction in pain was found during and after the
treatment.
