Update on preliminary elements of a theory of ultra high dilutions

Abstract

The mechanisms of information storage and transfer in UHDs are far from fully understood, but progress has been made at experimental and theoretical levels.

Wheat and ultra high diluted gibberellic acid – further experiments and re-analysis of data

“…Data further confirm the hypothesis that information can be stored in the test liquid, 18 even at a dilution of the original substance beyond Avogadro's value; and that the wheat bio-assay is sensitive to such information. It also was established that outcomes to this effect are best obtained in the autumn season, i.e.…”

Amphibians and ultra high diluted thyroxine – further experiments and re-analysis of data

“…With regard to study 2 and to the work of others testing biological effects of substances sealed in glass vials, 31,32 the authors hope that the investigation of information transfer from UHDs to the organism via glass walls will shed more light on the physical bases of homeopathy. 33 Experiments on study 2 are ongoing.…”

“Ultra High Dilution 1994” revisited 2015 – the state of follow-up research

“…16,17 Following a classification scheme by Becker-Witt et al 18 Schulte classified studies according to publication quality 19 and concluded that the body of knowledge is promising but requires a concerted action if it is to lead to field. In an update on preliminary elements of a theory on UHDs 20 Schulte and Endler re-addressed questions surrounding different mechanisms of (i) interaction between the molecular mother substance and the solvent, (ii) storage of molecule-specific information in the solvent, (iii) physiological basis of the sensitivity of the living organism towards an UHD and (iv) interaction of the test dilution with the organism. Here, the work of Bellavite et al 21,22 has been instrumental in guiding the field.…”
