Groundwater arsenic (As) has affected millions of people globally 
distributed over 20 countries. In parts of West Bengal (India) and 
Bangladesh alone, over 100 million people are at risk, but supply of 
As-free water is grossly inadequate. Attempts to remove As by using 
orthodox medicines have mostly been unsuccessful. A potentized 
homeopathic remedy, Arsenicum Album-30, was administered to a group 
of As affected people and thereafter the As contents in their urine 
and blood were periodically determined. The activities of various 
toxicity marker enzymes and compounds in the blood, namely aspartate 
amino transferase, alanine amino transferase, acid phosphatase, 
alkaline phosphatase, lipid peroxidation and reduced glutathione, 
were also periodically monitored up to 3 months. The results are 
highly encouraging and suggest that the drug can alleviate As 
poisoning in humans.
