In 1988, Jacques Benveniste and his collaborators shocked the world with their Nature paper on extra-high dilutions (EHDs) of water, showing quasi-periodic variations in biological activity with successive dilutions. This seemed to validate homeopathy with its EHDs, and suggested a ‘water memory’ for particular substances for which it had been in contact. Benveniste suspected that electromagnetic fields played an essential role in the memory of water. His lab showed that the electromagnetic “signal” in EHDs can be detected, amplified, recorded and transmitted. When pure water was exposed to a digitized EHD signal, it acquired the same properties as EHDs of the initially dissolved active molecules. This information transfer, which Benveniste termed “digital biology”, confirmed that water memory is real. The water memory ‘signal’ seems to be carried by frequencies in the low kilohertz range. In a series of supporting experiments, Thomas et al. (2006) found that, “at least some biologically active molecules emit signals in the form of electromagnetic radiation of less than 44 kHz that can be recorded and digitized. The digitized signal can be replayed to water, target cells or organs in a manner that seems specific to the source molecules.” In a recent theoretical paper, Meessen (2018) proposes that water memory is due to the formation and modification of chains of nanoparticles in water which he calls ‘water pearls’ (WP). Lo et al. (2009) observed that when these balls or WPs are very numerous, they constitute extremely long alignments, visible by optical microscopy.
What does the water memory ‘signal’ look like? It has been described as noise in the frequency range similar to audible sound waves (20 – 20,000 Hz). But is it noise? While browsing Claude Swanson’s book, Life Force, I chanced upon the work of Dr. Cyril Smith.
Smith and colleagues found that water could be imprinted with electromagnetic frequencies. In one experiment on a sample of bottled mineral water, they exposed the water to a 1.0 kHz magnetic signal. Subsequently the same treated water was exposed to a 1.1 kHz magnetic signal. Later, the signal was ‘read’ by measuring the electric voltage between two gold wires placed 5mm apart in the water. In the figure below, note the oscillating voltages detected in the water around 1.0 kHz during the first experiment, and 1.0 and 1.1 kHz during the second experiment. The voltage oscillations look like small MF intent waves which I have recorded with my equipment. Note the increase in amplitude, slowing of frequency in the middle of the wave and then decrease in amplitude – a miniature chirp wave!
So an actual electromagnetic signal may be observed in water, not just noise. And the electromagnetic signal looks similar to what I have been recording with human subjects.
Smith used the magnetic programming of water to help electrically sensitive patients (Smith and Best, 1989). He found that electromagnetic hypersensitivity is like an allergy, and a neutralizing frequency can be found, which can be imprinted into a vial of water. The magnetically imprinted vial of water provides clinical relief for 1-2 months.
In his study of homeopathy, Benveniste discovered a phenomenon that was “outside-the-box” of mainstream science. Gradually, over time, scientists are discovering that there is real evidence for water memory.
