Conservation of Structure in Aqueous Ultra High Dilutions

  • Chapter
Ultra High Dilution

Summary

Theory on homoeopathy has developed a variety of models trying to explain the retaining of traces of drug molecules in aqueous solutions, as well as to explain the interaction with living systems. Some current promising theories are based on a concept of clustering of solution molecules, either directly or implicitly as a seed of the retaining trace. The fundamental concepts of current knowledge in cluster science is presented with respect to aqueous solutions. The basic ideas of some prominent, related theories, such as clustering, flickering clusters, isotope effect, clathrates, non-local electrodynamic fields and coherent states are outlined and discussed.

Zusammenfassung

Modelle und Theorien in der Homoeopathie versuchen die im Potenzierungsmedium verbleibenden Spuren von Drogenmolekülen zu erklären. Ebenso gibt es einige Ansätze, die sich dem Problem der Wechselwirkung von Homoeopathika mit lebenden Zellen widmen. Neue vielversprechende Theorien bauen direkt oder implizit auf das Konzept von Molekülen in Clusterformation auf. Das Konzept der Molekül-Cluster und deren Problematik wird an Hand von wässerigen Lösungen diskutiert. Von den heutzutage gängigen Theorien über Informationsspeicherung und -übertragung werden einige bekannte Theorien über Clustering, Flickering Clusters, Isotopizität, Clathrate, nichtlokale elektrodynamische Felder und kohärente Zustände vorgestellt und in ihren Grundlagen diskutiert.
