To examine whether elevated antinuclear antibody (ANA) titers reported  
in random human population of arsenic contaminated villages can be  
reverted to the normal range by administration of a potentized  
homeopathic drug, Arsenicum album, randomly selected volunteers in two  
arsenic contaminated villages and one arsenic-free village in West  
Bengal (India) were periodically tested for their ANA titer as well as  
various blood parameters in two types of experiments: ‘placebo- 
controlled double blind’ experiment for shorter duration and  
‘uncontrolled verum fed experiment’ for longer duration. Positive  
modulation of ANA titer was observed along with changes in certain  
relevant hematological parameters, namely total count of red blood  
cells and white blood cells, packed cell volume, hemoglobin content,  
erythrocyte sedimentation rate and blood sugar level, mostly within 2  
months of drug administration. Thus, Arsenicum album appears to have  
great potential for ameliorating arsenic induced elevated ANA titer  
and other hematological toxicities.
