“…It is corroborated by investigations concerning the physicochemical properties of water subjected to physical perturbations like Iteratively Nafionated Water (INW) [33][34][35], Iteratively Filtered Water (IFW) [35][36][37][38], Extremely Diluted Solutions (EDS) [39][40][41][42][43][44] and effect of hydrophilic surfaces [45][46][47][48][49]. Ref [47][48][49] also suggest changes in structure of water.…”

Background: The first requirement of this concept paper is proper understanding of homoeopathy, which throws a tough challenge before science. How do high potency (beyond 12c) homoeo-medicines, which are devoid of original medicinal substances, differ from one another and how such medicines cure diseases-these two mysteries of homoeopathy are yet to be solved to the satisfaction of scientists in general. Many investigators are seriously trying to solve these two-century-old mysteries.Method: This paper examines the works which are logically consistent and promising in nature. In this process it does not consider the works which try to explain the homoeo-mysteries in terms of presence of starting material in some form or other. It also examines the mechanism of action of main stream medicines.Result: Analysis of various works on homoeopathy fulfilling the above criteria suggests that structures of water or chemicals can serve as medicines. Further, finding a strong parallelism between mechanisms of action of homoeopathy and main stream medicines this article arrives at the structural model as a generalized concept of medicines stated as: A substance is to be recognized as a medicine if it has the capability of curing disease(s) while its medicinal property is to be attributed to molecular structure of vehicle like water or of distinct chemical substance when it exists. Conclusion:The structural model of medicines seems to have a general validity for all kinds of medicines -homoeopathy and non-homoeopathy.

“…At the same time, there was a drop in pH from ~6 to 3, representing three orders of magnitude increase in proton concentration. The increase in conductivity was attributed to proton conduction in another publication (Elia et al, 2013c), suggesting that protons are present in the clusters. In other words, their clusters include not only EZ water but also water immediately next to it, which has been shown to be enriched in protons (Zhang and Pollack, 2003, Pollack, 2013.…”

This article reviews recent reports on large water clusters containing millions to billions of water molecules directly imaged under the transmission electron microscope and atomic force microscope, which are created by repeated dilution of aqueous solutions of polar solutes and also apparently by other means, and offers an explanation of the structures based on special spherical dipoles originating from quantum coherent domains predicted from quantum electrodynamics theory. IntroductionStable water clusters tens of nanometres to millimetres in dimensions can be seen under the transmission electron microscope (TEM) and the atomic force microscope (AFM). These appear by drying specially prepared distilled water at room temperature and pressure . The clusters consist of millions to billions of water molecules and come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes (Figure 1). They make up structures that are flexible, and can be deformed by the tips of the atomic force microscope probe if scanned in the contact mode. Otherwise, they remain stable for weeks, even months at room temperature and pressure. They have all the characteristics of 'soft matter' -liquids, liquid crystals, colloids, polymers, gels, and foams -that form mesoscopic structures much larger than the molecules themselves, but small compared with the bulk material (Web ref. 1 ).Close-up, there appears to be a common fine structure to the clusters; they are all made up of small spheres tens of nanometres in diameter (see Fig. 1

This paper reviews the quantum electrodynamics theory of water put forward by Del Giudice and colleagues and how it may provide a useful foundation for a new science of water for life. The interaction of light with liquid water generates quantum coherent domains in which the water molecules oscillate between the ground state and an excited state close to the ionizing potential of water. This produces a plasma of almost free electrons favouring redox reactions, the basis of energy metabolism in living organisms. Coherent domains stabilized by surfaces, such as membranes and macromolecules, provide the excited interfacial water that enables photosynthesis to take place, on which most of life on Earth depends. Excited water is the source of superconducting protons for rapid intercommunication within the body that may be associated with the acupuncture meridians. Coherent domains can also trap electromagnetic frequencies from the environment to orchestrate and activate specific biochemical reactions through resonance, a mechanism for the most precise regulation of gene function.
