Nanobulles et superstructures nanométriques dans les hautes dilutions homéopathiques : le rôle crucial de la dynamisation et hypothèse de transfert de l'information

The article is a review of twenty-five years of NMR relaxation work on homeopathic dilutions. It attempts to respond to the issue of “water memory”, by taking into consideration the specific physical factors of preparation, dynamisation and iterative dilution, as well as the exceptional properties of nanobubbles. The NMR technique is sensitive to the organisation of water molecules. High dilutions contain aqueous nanostructures which do not exist in the controls of pure solvent treated identically. These nanostructures are formed by the nucleation of nanobubbles produced during dynamisation around the solute molecule, from 3 C (corresponding to a minimum air/solute ratio), then increase with each dilution/dynamisation through the affixing of new layers, up to the ultramolecular range, beyond 12 C. Dynamisation plays a crucial role in the creation of these structures and their stereospecificity. Further dynamisation, some months after the preparation, is capable of enhancing them or regenerating them. The hypothesis is that the nanostructures “trap” the solute, which are then transferred from one dilution to the next, possibly up to an ultramolecular level, due to nanostructure attraction phenomena through the pipette.
