Here's an article about a scientist trying to show....msg

...that there might be some physical/chemical truth to homeopathic remedies. I don't completely understand this, but I thought it was interesting, and wanted to share it with all of you. Where is Boxer Tom when we need his professional help

How this study relates to the notion of homeopathy is beyond me. Here we have a guy playing with physics and chemistry, not homeopathy. And what does he hope to accomplish, hmmm.

Martin Chaplin from London's South Bank University, an expert on water and hydrogen bonding, is not so sure. "Rey's rationale for water memory seems most unlikely," he says. "Most hydrogen bonding in liquid water rearranges when it freezes."

He points out that the two thermoluminescence peaks Rey observed occur around the temperatures where ice is known to undergo transitions between different phases. He suggests that tiny amounts of impurities in the samples, perhaps due to inefficient mixing, could be getting concentrated at the boundaries between different phases in the ice and causing the changes in thermoluminescence.

Duh. This does NOT mean that water holds memory, at all!

have seen it beleivers spout about it on "them other sites" i know tthere is no validity but who started it...hanneman or some other homer guy
