The Memory of Water

Revealing Experiment
In Ireland at the University of Belfast, in the Department of Clinical Biochemistry Professor Madeleine Ennis has carried out experiments exploring the possibility of water memory. What she showed is that if you put a drop of histamine in a glass of pure distilled water, that water now contains histamine, but if you take one drop of that solution and add it to another glass of, water then you have another mixture of water that is diluted by a factor of 100 or more.

If you do that over and over again and follow a sequence of increasing dilutions, you end up with a glass of water that has no molecules of histamine in it whatsoever. But the most interesting aspect of the experiment shows that the water retains the ‘memory’ of the histamine, because when the water is given to either an animal or a human it produces effects that are attributed to the histamine.

Madeleine Ennis says about the study: “We are unable to explain our findings and are reporting them to encourage others to investigate this phenomenon.” http://www.newstarget.com/001951.html

Homeopaths know that the remedies work or else we wouldn’t waste our time - or our clients’ time - prescribing them, but it is interesting to read how scientists are wrestling with an apparently “non-scientific” phenomenon.

For me, an inability to explain how something works should not mean that it doesn’t work, we just have to work harder at discovering why it does work.
