Nobel Prize Winning Physician’s New Research Findings Provide Firm Scientific Foundation for Homeopathy

Homeopathy has long been favored by tens of millions of patients around the world. The system has had great clinical success for over 200 years while showing a remarkable record for safety. For people suffering from acute or chronic disease – it is a godsend.

Skeptics of homeopathy have long wondered how a system based on ultra-dilute medicines could be effective.

Researchers at Penn State, The University of Washington, Moscow State University, London South Bank University and other institutions have begun to successfully answer that question. Water can be restructured to carry information.

Adding to the growing science around ultra-dilutions, this summer (2010), French virologist and Nobel Prize winner Luc Montagnier stunned his colleagues at a prestigious international scientific conference when he presented a new method for detecting viral infections that bore close parallels to the basic tenets of homeopathy.

Montagnier told the conference that solutions containing the DNA of pathogenic bacteria and viruses, "could emit low frequency radio waves" that cause surrounding water molecules to become arranged into "nanostructures". These water molecules, he said, could then also emit radio waves.

He (like his colleagues at Penn State, Moscow State University, etc.) suggested water could retain such properties even after the original solutions were massively diluted, to the point where the original DNA had effectively vanished. In this way, he suggested, water could retain the "memory" of substances with which it had been in contact -- and doctors could use the emissions to detect disease.

With a growing body of scientific and clinical evidence favoring homeopathy, these are indeed exciting times for medicine.
