Abstract
It is established empirically that bidistilled water acquires anomalous physicochemical properties when placed in strong spatially inhomogeneous physical fields. In particular, the dependences of the redox potential (RP) on рН and the dipole moment on temperature, as well as the occurrence of metastability, cannot be described within classical concepts. A model is proposed to explain qualitatively these anomalous properties. The pH of reagentless modified water (RMW) free of alkaline elements may reach 9 to 12. The electrical conductivity of this water exceeds that of its chemical analog by a factor of 8 to 30. The acid-base properties of RMW are determined by the concentration ratio of solvated protons and hydroxyls that do not enter the composition of cluster ions. In other words, RMW free of alkaline elements exhibits alkalinity. This water is shown to be biologically active: it increases the synthesis of tumor necrosis factor by immune-competent cells (both in vivo and in vitro) by a factor of 3 to 4, leads to inhibition of reverse transcriptase of human immunodeficiency virus, and promotes spontaneous hydrolysis of proteins in solutions.
