A one hour documentary “On a retrouvé la mémoire de l’eau” [Rediscovering the Memory of Water] has been broadcast by the state-owned France 5 television station and is also on You Tube.

The film looks at an experiment conducted by Luc Montagnier, who won a Nobel Prize for discovering the AIDS virus.

• In France DNA from a patient infected with aids is serially diluted in a similar way to making a homeopathic potency;
• Phials of this highly diluted material are then randomly mixed with phials of distilled water;
• A phial of prepared DNA is identified from the randomised samples by its electromagnetic signature;
• This signature is recorded as a digital file, and the file is transmitted to a laboratory in Italy;
• There the file is used to generate an electromagnetic field, and a phial of distilled water is exposed to this field for one hour;
• Protein bases and a catalyst are added to the the water, and the original DNA molecule is reconstructed;
• The structure of the two DNA molecules in France and Italy are then analysed and compared, and are found to be virtually identical.
  As they say, in theory this “is like making a photocopy without an original”, unless the homeopathic process of potentisation enables water to record information about material placed in it.

  This experiment follows in the footsteps of Jacques Benveniste, and it is a particularly striking demonstration of how it is possible for homeopathic remedies to be active despite not having any of the original material in them. Over 11,000 people had viewed the programme on You Tube so far, and the number keeps rising.

This film was made by the Homeopathy Action Trust and cost nearly £10,000 to produce. It was sponsored solely by donations received by the Homeopathy Action Trust.

The highest donation received by 20th June will win a gorgeous £150 Ottolenghi Hamper!

Two interesting studies showing how effective homeopathy is in treating mercury toxicity and chronic disease in elderly patients:

1. Beringhs-Bueno A, Moreira HM, Pascalicchio VDAAAE. Mercury Intoxication: High Dilution as Mercury’s Chelating Agent. International Journal of High Dilution Research, 2006, 5, 16. In this study, which adds to similar work done previously, Brazilian researchers sought to determine what influence the homeopathic potencies of mercury may have on people intoxicated with this heavy metal. 52 people suffering from mercury toxicity were randomly assigned to receive either a homeopathic potency of mercury (Merc sol) or placebo. Quality of life (SF36) and pathogenetic symptom assessment, blood, urine and hair levels of mercury were recorded before the start of the study, and again at 30 and 60 days. On analysis it was found that when compared to controls, the use of the homeopathic potency of mercury was associated with increased urinary excretion of mercury, reduced hair levels of mercury as well as an improvement in pathogenetic symptoms and associated quality of life.

BMC Geriatr. 2010 Feb 22;10(1):10. [Epub ahead of print]. This cohort study was conducted on a group of 3981 people who’d been treated by homeopathic physicians in Germany and Switzerland. Data was analysed on patients 70 years of age or older suffering from a chronic illness (mostly hypertension and sleeping disorders) who’d seen the physician for the first time. Over a 2 year period, the progress of the homeopathic therapy was monitored and measured using both patient and practitioner assessed complaint severity scale and quality of life (SF-36) scale at baseline, 3, 12 and 24 months. At the end of the observation period, the homeopathic treatment was associated with a significant reduction in both patient and physician assessed symptom severity.
