This page is outdated, but contains old details and notes. For an up to date summary, visit here:
...The use of a homeopathic remedy against an illness symptom set is analagous to the application of a similar frequency spectra (among the Fast Fourier Transform; a graph of amplitude versus frequency rather than amplitude vs. time).
...When applying a similar wave form to another, both constructive and destructive interference can occur as a function of how the wave form is applied. Where applied quickly and removed quickly, this will cause Destructive Interference -- a lessening of the illness wave form's amplitude. If the remedy is exposed too long to the patient, this can cause a worsening (proving) of the remedy along those same symptom patterns via Constructive Interference.
...This is the means by which Homeopathic remedies act upon the body where the remedies and illness are viewed within the electromagnetic spectrum.
ALLOPATHY(Conventional Medicine's drugs, Use of herbs, and even vitamins):
...The allopathic way of medicinal administration is also along the lines of symptom attack. However, it is based in a treatment by opposites approach. Here, the opposite wave form is maintained over long periods and it does result in an alleviation of primary symptoms.
...Strong side effects (additional frequency spikes) are often created due to suppression of wave energy and disharmony among the interfering wave forms.
...A very key aspect of the Allopathic way to treatment by opposites is the suppressive action of drugs; for these will often result in a worsening or shift of the initial symptom set upon withdrawal. Where the drug is applied and taken away, a new disease signature is created while the former is rarely ever destroyed (cured). This causes a dependency upon the previous drug while also requires the application of additional drugs and methods for dealing with the new mess of symptoms created.
...This is why the homeopath and the allopath can never be friends. Likewise, where cure is not the objective, there are times when the homeopath accepts the use of allopathic drugs and dependency in creating symptom suppression. Then, the homeopath works at halting further damage, destruction of side effects from the allopathic drugs, and the patient sees an overall maintenance of condition under the integration of allopathy and homeopathy. This will rarely ever create a cure but is often a strategy to take -- and usually the starting strategy -- when dealing with deeply entrenched chronic illnesses such as cancer or heart problems.
...The wise homeopath does not pull a patient off suppressive, allopathic heart medications rapidly in favor homeopathic remedies nor does he remove particular anti-cancer drugs and radiation tactics of allopathy in some cancer cases. It must always be a gentle weaning off the suppressive drugs, herbs, supplements, and even the vitamins.
...In general, any kind of destruction, suppression, and control of the symptom set equates to destruction, suppression, and control of the disease.
...Some patients cannot be cured, do not have what it takes to push to full cure, and the extremist course of traumatizing them totally onto the homeopathic purist path is not wise. In some cases, palliation and control of the illness is a good enough objective for the homeopath and that requires skillfully working with the allopathic drugs and tactics -- which is why the M.D. gone true homeopath usually has the best chance at being a great allopathic and homeopathic physician.
...It's not about which way is better, but which way -- at the right time -- gets the job done with the least destruction and trauma to the patient. Heresy it is to the purist homeopath, but there are times when treatment by opposites and allopathy is more appropriate. There are times (usually in the chronic diseases) where homeopathy -- if done properly -- is always superior. But, the reality is that modern cases are terribly confused by allopathic drugs and butchery before ever entering a homeopath's clinic. Rare is the ideal patient case where zero attention to allopathic drugs is possible.
....It's not fully a travelling wave scenario, but the mechanics are close.
Two sine waves travelling in the same direction: Constructive and Destructive Interference
Two waves (with the same amplitude, frequency, and wavelength [VITAL FORCE + SIMILIUM]) are travelling in the same direction on a string. Using the principle of superposition, the resulting string displacement [RESULTANT VITAL FORCE] may be written as:
which is a travelling wave whose amplitude depends on the phase (phi). When the two waves are in-phase (phi=0) [REMEDY APPLIED TOO STRONG OR TOO LONG], they interfere constructively and the result has twice the amplitude of the individual waves [AGGRAVATION]. When the two waves have opposite-phase (phi=180), they interfere destructively and cancel each other out [REMEDY APPLIED AND THEN REMOVED TO CAUSE CURE AS THE DESTRUCTION OF THE SYMPTOM CREST WITHIN THE WAVE THAT IS THE VITAL FORCE].
The animation at left shows two sinusoidal waves travelling in the same direction [SICKLY VITAL FORCE + SIMILIAR REMEDY]. The phase difference between the two waves varies increases with time so that the effects of both constructive and destructive interference may be seen. First of all, notice that the sum wave (in blue) [RESULTANT, CURED VITALITY WAVE] is a travelling wave which moves from left to right. When the two gray waves are in phase the result is large amplitude. When the two gray waves become out of phase the sum wave is zero [CURE].
MORE DR. QUACK THEORETICAL PHYSICS ON HOMEOPATHY:
Optical Spectroscopy of Homeopathic Remedies
SPRO.jpg This is from my multi-million dollar "SPRO Spectroscope"; Also called "Suppressed Resolution Optical Spectroscopy". Very, very fancy high tech stuff. Almost classified Top Secret technology! My monster SPRO scope is made from one musical CD as the diffraction grating, two scotch taped business cards as the slit, a kid's Intel QX3 Digital Blue digital photographing microscope, and a desk lamp. Fuzzy Spectroscopy and goofy 8th grade science project level on cheap gear, but interesting observations I think.
test1.jpg (Calc. carb 12C anomaly) This one is by no means conclusive "proof of homeopathy", but the optical aberration is curious. The distortion is due to optical factors, but what's interesting to me is the overall red, yellow, and green width shifts present from Atmosphere, to 2 slides, to Remedy + 2 slides. That possibly indicates that we might see some changes in measured Diffraction Angle (N) when carrying out the experiment on just old-style college turntable spectrometers. And, the shifting being closer to the yellow and especially red regions makes sense. Red shift = Infrared; Thermal; Closer to Microwave and Radio bulk of the Planck's Curve. Molecular vibration and forces at play with remedies mostly.

Forum Chatter Regarding My In-Vivo Quackery -- Demonstration of 17% to 522% Survival Time Increase Under Homeopathic Prophylaxis in Guppies Subjected to Chlorine Chemical Attack.
Regarding your question on my sloppy spectroscope (SPRO) images for Calc. carb 12C? No, I have not continued further optical spectrocopy there other than those initial studies. I would like to sometime, but with better gear. The SPRO spectroscope is no way to do things, but was a fun exploration. The most affordable but tedious gear to work with is the typical college, turntable spectroscope. Fancier spectroscopy of my dreams requires a bigger lab budget. I will be procuring an old turntable spectrometer sometime to continue emission line studies, but, first, I wanted to know more about the observed bands for homeopathic remedies and -- up to today -- I thought focus upon the radio bands (like the Rifers and Digibio) instead would be the most revealing. Now I'm not so sure whether I should focus upon optical and radio or UV, x-ray, and Gamma spectroscopy instead. I can build equipment up to Gamma detection over the years, but, beyond that, the equipment and some of the math / physics involved is outside my present ability.
When starting this math doodling with you, I thought maybe most the energy of homeopathic remedies was in the radio bands. Yet, it was odd to me that, if emitting in radio and optical, how can remedies last over 200 years while not being drained as essentially radio transmitters and flashlights? I thought maybe some long-term energy storage of the succussion energy certainly at work, but I didn't really see it until today. And, what I see is still fuzzy.
Let me brief you on my corrections to those previous math & physics notes:
1) Except for page 1 (phys2.jpg), all other sheets bear serious physics setup and math errors which made garbage of the final output. Sorry about wasting your printer ink there, but the printouts will show you my errors in thinking and math.
2) I have since corrected those pages and grown them to now 11 total pages of math and physics notes -- still including a Temperature variable for you. I have run over scientific notations and made adjustments to fit the math and physics better.
3) My revisions are now exciting to me and disturbing. Only three possibilities:
a) It's some of my best nerd work and right on ;
b) Or, it is much more detailed and way off track with some unknown errors which can be corrected to obtain a better picture. ;
c) Or, I'm an idiot, should have paid more attention in class, and it's mostly garbage.
4) A couple things excite me about it and hearing input from mathematical physicists out there who are fond of homeopathy:
a) I've had to make some mass-energy substitutions in adjusting things, and wound up pulling out of my kazoo what maybe is a new definition for Energy (as Joules) that I have never seen before. As my new Quack Law to the Universe, if I am not wrong, it may be possible to declare that a Joule of energy is not just defined as Watts x Time, but can also be expressed as: (Kilograms x m^4). Where, Density is defined as a degree of matter divided or per cubic meter (Kg/m^3), this is saying that Energy is (or =) matter spread about in 4 dimensions (X, Y, Z of our 3-D world and also Time). Makes sense to me since the energy of fields is spherically propagating over time. If we spread energy out in space and time, we are also spreading matter out in space and time. My definition for a Joule derives from the mass-energy equation, E=mc^2.
b) After cleaning my equations up, I set up the "Vn" formula (equation #19) to give us frequency predictions in Hertz for a prepared remedy which starts from an original pellet and then sees some succussion. There should be the radiation of the original remedy, the radiation of succussion, and the radiation emission measurable at a distance from the vial. All of this should tell us what the Hertz value is for the final remedy standing still. I have taken into account many variables and tried to set them up into a testable theory which gives predictions
PREDICTIONS
Now, if my pages are not too far off, what all the scribbles are telling me is that the creation of a homeopathic remedy via additional succussion is probably mostly an exothermic reaction of vastly more energy unleashed than we usually consider!!
You have the original remedy as a little dry pellet disolved in water. No big deal. It has a frequency value. My first numbers to plug in were 1000 Hz. Okay, so here we're detecting partial remedy spectra in the VLF radio and audible wave bands. Then, you succuss that vial.
With additional succussion of normal type by hand, if my math is not garbage, we're possibly developing frequencies around 10E17 Hz. That puts the succussed remedy perhaps briefly into the UV and Soft X-ray bands; Nanometer scale in wavelength emissions. If we had eyes to see it as you pound a remedy, that's what we should be seeing.
Now, beyond that, when trying to tie in some form of spectral radiance, Temperature at a distance (such as your measure say within 1 mm of the emitter), my goofy math here is telling me that such frequencies of emission would be at the scale of over 10GeV (or >10E26 Hz; over 10000 MeV). That's very disturbing to me. I'm either way off or we're onto something interesting here!
See, at >10GeV, we're more energetic in radiation emission than anti-prtoton annihilation at 938 MeV. We're more energetic than pi mesons at 68 MeV. More energetic than the 77 MeV hypero. We've exceeded neutron binding energies. We're at the high frequency, narrow wavelength end of gamma rays -- the realm of subatomic particles like the bosons.
Oh, my quack math implies that the energies developed by succussion are so great as to be maybe splitting sub-atomic particles and unleashing tremendous amounts of energy -- maybe even in small chain reactions. I'd have to check the resolution specs, but I'm not sure if the typical Geiger Counter will even detect such radiation. That could be one reason why the issue of homeopathy has remained elusive. This is the realm of astrophysics, high energy physics, and massive linear accelerators, not cheesy lab gear. Further, the far right hand side of my formulas are vastly more significant than the left side -- meaning the starting frequency of remedies and their radiation under succussion is pretty much dwarfed in comparison to the energy of emission.
If I am not nuts and the mathematical physics proves sane, then the situation for us is being like blind bats out here. Here we are mixing and mashing remedy vials while wondering how it all works and where the light is? The spectroscopy seen to date hasn't apparently been all that impressive and seems pretty subtle because the energy level to things within our view isn't terribly distrubed. You're out there in India measuring remedies with temps around 90 to 98F. I'm out here with my cheesy SPRO spectroscope seeing maybe slight IR to Visible differences in Calc.Carb -- around 660 nanometers. All that just the leftover energy pumping out as light in the remedies after repeated succussion. And it baffles us because we see all this medicinal energy to homeopathy. We wonder how it all works. People credit it to structuring or voodoo. But, a point we may be missing is that everything we work with and try to see is the leftover and cooled down cookie pulled from the succussion oven. We're looking at the cold, crystalline structural cookie, not the glowing hot -- burns you just to touch it -- cookie dough in the oven.
Where did all that succussion energy go? It's lost to cooling, crystallization, photon emission over the whole Planck's Curve, and then highly energetic emissions possibly so far beyond our ability to measure because we've maybe been splitting or ejecting subatomic particles. When we succuss a remedy, we're very possibly creating internal pressures upon the fluid and its mysterious, wobbley crystalline structure -- pressures in excess of any gun and spherical implosions to nuclear weapons; particles liberated in emission with more energy than neutrons and their ability to make chain reactions. I don't know if we can call it Cold Fusion, but it's very possibly a deep, sub-atomic level of Cold Fission.
....Basically, the tremendous energy emitted as radiation among succussion may be the mechanism of exothermic reaction which creates such long-lasting structural changes in remedies while leaving us with such a useful medicinal glow.
If I can make an analogy, the 1C remedy is like a glowing hot piece of iron over a furnace. When we take it up to 12C, that's like blowing oxygen on the rock, and so it glows all the more red hot. It emits. We succuss and blow more oxygen onto that rock, and it glows near white hot maybe around 200C. That light then is continually transmitted. Energy is being lost from the system. It's stuff you can measure as Temperature data at the rock or at a radiative distance from it. This energy loss creates cooling and fosters crystalline restructure so that the rock glows with less light again and is now no longer the same rock. The rock or homeopathic remedy has been essentially heat treated and quenched. If a metal, it would have seen grain structures melt away into liquid form. With cooling and depending upon what's in the fluid as solute, the material (or medicinal) traits due to that crystalline restructuring are different from rock to rock or remedy to remedy.
...That's pretty much what my physics and math perspective to it all says. My numbers, formula setups, and calculations maybe be off but perhaps not that far. I'll post the updated pages later. From here, additional number crunching should be done. Maybe more errors will come up and need further tweaking. Certainly, the basic equation I made there in #19 is not the complete picture, but maybe a partial one. It all needs more work.
I hope you enjoy it. I think these next pages and updates you'll find a lot better, but I wanted to pass you my Abstract for now. I'll also post this to the other threads I've made.
I awoke this morning with some thoughts and will pass them to you now:
1) Those previous formulas need to be run through numerical crunching and graphing typical of FORTRAN, Matlab, or MS Excel. MS Excel spreadsheets would be fine and the fastest for me. I need to plug in a wide range of numbers for each variable and see the big picture regarding those formulas and their predictions; To chart and graph those predictions. No point working each calculation by hand.
2) Next, the most disturbing issue of those formulas is in regard to the ability to create highly energetic gamma ray emission from the mere pounding of a remedy vial of water by hand. That is the first thing that strikes most sane people and physicists as impossible -- just like this issue of serial dilution beyond Avogadro's Limit. They start thinking, "Wait a second!! To split the atom in a nuke warhead, we usually have to slam two plates together or spherically implode shells at ballistic velocities requiring lensed explosives. You need charges and shockwave velocities greater than the power of C-4 just to cut steel and do that kind of work. Then, yes, highly energetic rays are unleashed from the process of succussing such small amounts of matter."
The reason I am not too disturbed by all that is because I have read of some research and theories proposed regarding homeopathic succussion which suggest maybe the water molecules are being subjected to tremendous forces. I forget the issue as I have only quickly skimmed mention of it or crossed it while skimming report abstracts. I think it had something to do with Supercavitation theories and succussion? I will need to hunt around for that report and read it, but it mentioned the idea of wildly tremendous shockwaves created inside water under succussion as a possibility behind homeopathic remedies.
Next, I need to read more from this great report:
http://www.rustumroy.com/Roy_Structure%20of%20Water.pdf The Structure of Liquid Water; Novel Insights From Materials Research; Potential Relevance to Homeopathy. Roy, Tiller, Bell, Hoover. 2 AUG 04. Materials Research Innovations Online
Finally, I need to pull out my old Materials Science & Engineering textbook. This morning I awoke thinking I want to review issues surrounding inter-atomic spacing in water, the lattice structure of ideal liquid water, its cavity molecules and spacing, a Zwitterion Water Structure Hypothesis once investigated by Dr. Anick (same man from the NMR spectroscopy research mentioned over in my Spectroscopy thread), and others. I need to review basic principles here regarding tension, compression, shear stress-strain issues in materials.
See, I woke up this morning thinking it would be okay to just treat a vial of homeopathic water as a confined collection of atoms and molecules arranged into a sloppy, solid structure overall. The issue of slips and fracture planes in solid, crystalline structured materials can be loosely applied to water overall -- as anything liquid is nothing more than that crystalline structure of ice simply fractured along all planes so that the ice cube is more wobbley like jello and fluid. Just because higher temperature makes solids into jello or liquid does not mean those inter-atomic and inter-molecular lines of force always trying to restructure into solids are gone!
In any case, for simplicity of understanding things at the sub-atomic, atomic, and molecular level....I would like to see, in classical mechanics form, the kind of compressive, tensile, shear, and torque stresses possibly going on within the water lattice. It does not sound terribly far-fetched to me that tremendous force can be developed between atoms and molecules in such a lattice -- force enough to breach even neutron bonding energies. Just off the top of my head, I do not think the basic forces involved with something like a one pound fist hammering a vial over one foot distance will produce enough shockwave to create sub-atomic particle scattering and gamma rays. But, like trying to detonate a crude nuke warhead made from two Uranium or Plutonium plates, I'm thinking it may very well be possible to have that minor level of "gun impact" create atomic fission (without significant chain reaction) or some other means of highly energetic photon release down at the level of atoms.
Ever play with those toy popping caps as a kid? The ones with little rocks wrapped in tissue paper that pop like firecrackers when you toss (succuss) them at the ground? I'm thinking what goes on inside remedies under succussion might be something like that. A little mechanical energy from the fist unleashing pretty explosive force from the lattice structure of the material. That internal force unleashed from matter then acting upon the atoms and molecules in the structure in sort of a chain reaction -- possibly enough to multiply force and inter-atomic/ sub-atomic torques enough to give us that highly energetic photon emission. Then, the lattice simply cools and re-structures as a liquid but with different properties of crystallization if cooled enough to ice. This is why, if we freeze homeopathic remedies, we should be able to detect different ice patterns between remedies and potencies (And I remember reading something about that in research pubs, too. A couple reports actually scratched on that subject.)
While those kinds of forces may sound impossibly huge, look at it from the mechanical leverage perspective. Look at it from the basic physics of just turning a wrench. To turn a lug nut on your car tire, we apply a certain amount of force at a distance (Force x Distance = Torque). That's how we can twist those lug nuts on so tight to about 80 lbs. x ft. using only a few pounds of mechanical pressure from our arms. This torque value can be multiplied out again as 80 pounds of force at 1 foot. We could roughly relate that to the pounds of among impact pressure of succussion when slamming a remedy really hard against a book. The number is not so important as the idea and matching of the scientific units in equations.
So, can something like a mere 80 lbs. force (which is nothing compared to the shockwave force of conventional explosives sufficient to cut steel or implode Uranium) develop enough shear or tensile forces upon lattice structures in water as to create nuclear fission? That's a pretty wild thought. Damn near insane and laughable to most physicists taking a look at it without much understanding of the materials sciences. If something really wild is not pulled out from our sleeves here, yes, it is crazy. But, then again, the atomic and subatomic worlds are held together by tremendously powerful forces at very short distances. I think all you need do is shake that loose a little bit somehow, disturb things, and have those atomic to subatomic particles mashing around some in order to create that kind of succussed firecracker snap cap effect. It's the same issue of tremendous Potential Energy locked up in matter and unleashed by dinky amounts of Mechanical Energy: The only way you can have such effects is for the mechanical leverages applied to be breaking those energetic bonds between matter and liberating that energy outside of Matter's ability to contain. Thus, a sound wave is emitted as the "photon" in the snap cap analogy. And, after that "photon" of sound is emitted the energy of the snap cap is changed. The lattice structure of those snap caps is now cooled and restructured so that the snap cap is dead. As a kid, you can only succuss those snap caps once before they're just boring ash. It's the same material as the previous, but just had a tremendous amount of energy (and mass) unleashed as a spherically propagating wave. It's the same as a piece of wood still being carbon-based wood but now just ash as the energy is liberated among fire and light of burning. Nothing more than change of form, loss of energy in exothermic reaction, and restructure of lattices. The wood is still the basic elements of wood in some form where incompletely burnt just as a heat treated and quenched rock is still of the same basic materials. There are new proportions of elements in these restructured materials, but some signature and traits of the first is still present -- just as a log of ash in your fireplace still has some unburnt wood structure to it while mostly charcoal and ash remains.
Going back to force x distance and torque, if we take 80 ft x lbs and convert that to some value of torque at the nanometer scale, what's that? The conventional thinking says, "Well, that's 80 pounds over very little distance, so the force would be very small, too." Not so! That's basic physics thinking. That doesn't consider those forces at play among a lattice structure composed of dynamic particles. We can focus that 80 lbs of force onto the slip plane of a lattice structure and, yes, that force acting over such small distances should not amount to anything much. It should not be creating massive shockwaves if we imagine it all like dropping an 80 pound bucket of golf balls onto concrete from one foot height. But, Force is also equal to Pressure x Area. We are dealing with much smaller surface areas here at the atomic and molecular level. Like in hydraulics, if you concentrate pressure distributed over a large area with small force application into a small area, what you develop is high pressure and more mechanical force. Now maybe we're at shockwave levels exceeding the whalup of conventional explosives and possibly able to create a kind of "Cold Fission" or Cold Fusion. And that energy liberated could multiply further from there in chain reaction enough to possibly make everything not so crazy after all. Bonding energies have to be taken into account, too.
...It needs more study. That's all I have for this morning.
....The issue of lensing and hydraulic multiplier impacting inter-atomic pressures is something I am guessing at, but still researching within molecular and materials issues. We do know that succussion pressures seem to reach very high ATM levels. That's the root issue of all the work below which needs greater solidification.

Dear [-------]:
I present for your contemplation, entertainment, and comment the following Theoretical Physics quackery on a great enigma of modern medical science.
Remember: "The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all true science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead. His eyes are closed." -- Albert Einstein
Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications
Volume 323, 15 May 2003, Pages 67-74
Ultra-high dilutions of lithium chloride and sodium chloride (10-30 gcm-3) have been irradiated by X- and ?-rays at 77 K, then progressively rewarmed to room temperature. During that phase, their thermoluminescence has been studied and it was found that, despite their dilution beyond the Avogadro number, the emitted light was specific of the original salts dissolved initially.
Yes, that ever "controversial" and blacklisted medical heresy that is Homeopathy! Said to be mere placebo effect by the brainwashed idiots of the world, but, for those with the honesty to look and explore on their own, it is always found not to be.
Think about it rather than what media tells you: with the hundreds of thousands of practitioners and millions of patients treated since her birth as a medical science and art, you think maybe something might be going on that is real and curative?! Whole government agencies and hospitals in foreign nations devoted to her research? Mother Teresa opening four dispensaries and practicing herself? U.S. Department of Defense studies on the matter? All for placebo voodoo nonsense?
Many scientific research references in her favor are attached below. Arguing over it is like beating a dead horse. The newsletter attached below also covers her Biological Warfare Defense implications, and so it is very important we come to better understand the physics of why it does work as medicine.
Do not get boggled down in the jabber of the world's idiots and biased "scientific" journals. What they argue about is century's old debate long since settled for the homeopath. Regardless of its efficacy and practice as a medical system (something often poorly done), in here truly does dwell a great enigma that should captivate your physics minds -- leading to many questions, theories, and new discoveries...if you dare look.
Materials Science & Engineering researchers have also started to put the mystery into a sound theory and model:
The medical world asks, "How can you make medicine increasingly powerful through serial dilution and succussion??!! It just defies laws of chemistry! Defies Avogadro's law!" Ah, yes, it does....if your view is that of the Newtonian classical physicist trapped in a world without particle / wave duality!
Some things we observe with the remedies:
1) They work in infants and animals -- negating any Placebo argument.
2) Microdilutes are possible to measure via many methods.
3) Indian scientists are observing temperature coefficients and signatures in the human body under remedy application.
4) Water itself is an odd substance with properties not fully understood to science.
5) Hammering (succussion) upon the liquid adds more medicinal power to the remedies.
6) Dilution to succussion ratios impact the strength, duration, and shape of the remedy action.
7)We also observe tremendous atmospheric pressures going on in the fluid under succussion.
8. The remedies, once transformed into a kind of written medicinal data in water, have gone on to hold their power over 200 years now. People have opened up Dr. Hahnemann's medical kit and used the same remedies from the same vials he once did -- all well preserved. Yet, how can that be "ice" within water? Ice that does not melt after 200 years at room temperature and variances? Succussion would have to be breaking and creating strong, new bonds in water molecules so that the remedy is not exactly water anymore. And yet the signature differences are very small.
These are the key clues which I have tried to resolve in my own fuzzy physics model. Some things I consider:
1) The problem of a microdilute is analogous to the issue of a little carbon solute diluted within the molten solution of iron. We have two substances which, when commingled in dilution, create a new material of vastly different properties -- depending upon succussion (forging) and dilution ratios of Carbon in Iron, cooling rates, grain structure formation, etc. So, if we see that in liquid metals -- a new material with new properties made from a solute and solution -- what is so crazy about our seeing that a solute in water does the same thing under succussion, dilution, and cooling?
2) There are also many wave mechanics analogies present in the problem. The realm of quantum mechanics being a little too beyond me while homeopaths often try to relate it all to New Agey notions -- casting "quantum" and "metaphysics" together in hokey dokey fashion -- I have sought to understand the macroscopic problem from a classical wave mechanics perspective. That is my: A Simple Mathematical Physics View to Homeopathy vs. Allopathy
3) Prior work by Dr. Lo: 1994 Shui-Yin Lo, photo microscopy. In this unusual and controversial experiment, the Lo team, according to Dana Ullman, used a still yet unknown technique to actually photograph hydrogen bonding in water, revealing the suggestion that homeopathic drugs are a type of liquid crystal "Anomalous State of Ice," Modern Physics Letters B, 10,19(1996):909-919. See also, "Physical Properties of Water with IE Structures," Modern Physics Letters B, 10, 19(1996) : 921-930.
4) From there, seeing it all as an exothermic reaction likely leading to crystalline structures we don't fully understand, I generated this Theoretical Physics quackery:

In evaluating my own mathematical and physics insanity there, the most sane conclusion I have come to is that I don't know what the hell I'm doing! I need people like you to double-check and poke holes in or confirm my thinking and math. Garbage in = garbage out. Have I put garbage in? Set it all up as garbage? Am I off in the math and physics due to pushing too far down into the statistical, lumpy, uncertain realm of quantum mechanics with cleaner classical mechanics setups?
I'm basically saying that, according to my screwy math and physics, as we shake up homeopathic remedies, tremendous interatomic pressures are possibly being created (according to my lensing theory proposed). With all that succussive force lensed down to atomic area (a hydraulic multiplier issue), some sort of fission or even fusion might be going on from just the impact of our shaking up the water! My math could be off there, but the guts of the theory is that, if you accelerate charged particles in any way, electromagnetic radiation is emitted. That radiation emission is an energy and temperature loss -- essentially an exothermic reaction which would facilitate microcrystalline structuring (just like making ice cream among rock salt and mechanical energy). But, my math -- which may be in error -- says that we perhaps haven't detected that yet because the emitted radiation could be far greater than we imagined (> 10 GeV). This would imply liberation of energy from the atom as a key factor in why homeopathic remedies are "frozen" and "iced" in ways we don't fully understand yet. Perhaps the drugs are nothing more than flopped nuclear reaction byproducts with some sort of radiative and crystalline salt half life we don't understand?
Thus, I am either nuts and a bad, bad mathematician and physicist (most likely case because only aerospace engineering is my background and I am somewhat bonkers) or I'm pretty damn good! No fuzzy possibility about it. Either / or. Either it's wild new theory and truth or my work there plain sucks! No mystery. To be science and a valid theory, it must make predictions that can be proven or disproven. And I don't have any detectors here in the 10 GeV range! I'm in way over my head now, too. Please help!
Just wondering what you all think? It'll either stump you, tickle your imagination and wonder while leading you in new directions, or it will give you a good laugh at my crappy theoretical physics. That's the best I can promise. [---------------------------------------------]
My less comical work is attached in the newsletter below. Enjoy the tour!
3) Homeopathy Research Center . The Homeopathy Research Center at http://www.Hpathy.com is intended to provide information about all the historical and current research related to homeopathy and homeopathic medicines at one place.
1) In the Lensed Theory of Succussion video, I have lines of force depicted in triangular formation. This is somewhat off from reality, but quickly illustrated the point. The lines of force and the triangular formation on the bottom of the vial are also exaggerated to illustrate the atom to atom conical shape of things.
2) Reality should be analagous to a typical fluid mechanics problem of fluid flow in a pipe where molecular bonds with the pipe wall create friction and a parabolic pressure field -- the center flow in the pipe having the most velocity and force; The flow near the walls encountering resistant force. With the molecules and atoms of a fluid having slip planes in all directions, it becomes very easy for any fluid to take on a conical shape depicted in the triangles.
The imploding cavity (about 150 microns in diameter) is captured in a high-speed flash photomicrograph, where the implosion heats the vapor inside the cavity to 5,500 degrees Celsius (plasma conditions). Since this cavity formed near a solid surface, the implosion is asymmetric, expelling a jet of liquid toward the surface of the container at roughly 400 kilometers per hour. Both the heat and the jet’s kinetic energy contribute to a unique chemical environment in the liquid.
Similarly, in industrial applications, mechanical cavitation (succussion) can also generate plasma conditions which usually tend to destroy molecules. A plasma is a gas-like state where molecules can be disrupted to an atomic and/or ionic state. The plasma constituents can also reform into different molecular arrangements, particularly on liquid or solid surfaces.
4) Succussion pressures are noted to reach around 10,000 ATM which, if lensed down to an atom to atom contact area, is the reason for my consideration of possibly some form of nuclear fission or fusion being pushed.
Thank you,
Stan
ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
This one is a really fascinating article which, again, takes homeopathic pondering in another potential direction regarding why the remedies may be working:
ELECTRON TRAPPING BY MOLECULAR VIBRATION -- In photoelectron spectroscopy experiments performed at the ALS, a group of researchers has found that electronic transitions normally thought to be forbidden can in fact be excited in conjunction with certain types of molecular vibrations. Specifically, they found that when the symmetry of a linear triatomic molecule is broken by asymmetric vibrational modes, photoelectrons can become temporarily trapped by the molecule before ultimately escaping, giving rise to a broad feature in the photoelectron spectrum known as a shape resonance. This process represents a novel type of symmetry-breaking phenomenon that has not been observed previously but appears to be widespread. Such coupling between electronic motion and nuclear motion becomes increasingly important as scientists learn more about the geometry and dynamics of novel chemical structures such as those found in nanodevices and transient chemical species, and the results have implications for studies that use photoelectron spectroscopy as a diagnostic tool.
IR radiation does not have enough energy to induce electronic transitions as seen with UV. Absorption of IR is restricted to compounds with small energy differences in the possible vibrational and rotational states.
For a molecule to absorb IR, the vibrations or rotations within a molecule must cause a net change in the dipole moment of the molecule. The alternating electrical field of the radiation (remember that electromagnetic radation consists of an oscillating electrical field and an oscillating magnetic field, perpendicular to each other) interacts with fluctuations in the dipole moment of the molecule. If the frequency of the radiation matches the vibrational frequency of the molecule then radiation will be absorbed, causing a change in the amplitude of molecular vibration.
Molecular rotations
Rotational transitions are of little use to the spectroscopist. Rotational levels are quantized, and absorption of IR by gases yields line spectra. However, in liquids or solids, these lines broaden into a continuum due to molecular collisions and other interactions.
Molecular vibrations
The positions of atoms in a molecules are not fixed; they are subject to a number of different vibrations. Vibrations fall into the two main catagories of stretching and bending.
Stretching: Change in inter-atomic distance along bond axis
Bending: Change in angle between two bonds. There are four types of bend:
Rocking
Scissoring
Wagging
Twisting
Vibrational coupling
In addition to the vibrations mentioned above, interaction between vibrations can occur (coupling) if the vibrating bonds are joined to a single, central atom. Vibrational coupling is influenced by a number of factors;
Strong coupling of stretching vibrations occurs when there is a common atom between the two vibrating bonds
Coupling of bending vibrations occurs when there is a common bond between vibrating groups
Coupling between a stretching vibration and a bending vibration occurs if the stretching bond is one side of an angle varied by bending vibration
Coupling is greatest when the coupled groups have approximately equal energies
No coupling is seen between groups separated by two or more bonds
Principle of Quantatization -- The fundamental principle of Quantum Mechanics, and its namesake, is that energy came in discrete particles called "quanta". This idea, the Quantatization of Energy, was put forth by Planck in his Quantum Hypothesis(1900), an explanation of blackbody radiation. It was a departure from Classical Physics, which asserted that energy could be infinately small.
Wave-particle duality of matter -- In 1923 De Broglie expanded the Principle of Wave-particle Duality of Light put forth by Einstein to include all matter, called Principle of Wave-particle Duality of Matter. He asserted that all matter, not just light, exibit both wave-like and particle-like behavior.
De Broglie's theory -- The French physicist Louis Victor duc de Broglie has applied wave-corpuscle treatment and to particles of substance: as the light detects corpuscular properties, also particles of substance should detect undular properties. De Broglie has utillized already wave-corpuscle properties, accepted for a light, and their quantum rule and has expressed a wave length through the performances of a particle. For a light the corpuscular point of view determines energy and impulse accordingly by expressions E = mc2 and p = mc. The wave length of a particle of substance is determined under the formula:
l =
h
p
=
h
mu
At adding in a rule of quantization of a moment of momentum of an electron the impulse of an electron, will turn out a relation nl = 2pr. From it follows, that on length of a stationary orbit of an electron the integer of lengths of waves should be stacked. Thus, the requirement of existence of allowed orbits, which was injected by Bohr frequency relation, acquires legible physical sense: the allowed orbits are orbits supposing formation on them of standing waves of an electron. For a rectilinear motion of particles de Broglie has offered expression, which is made by analogy with the equation for a spread flat light wave in the complex shape:
y = y0e
i(vt -
x
l
)
The existence of undular properties of substance was revealed at observation of patterns of a diffraction of beams of particles. Legible patterns of an interference and the diffractions give bundles of electrons, which have almost identical impulses. These patterns are very similar to optical patterns of an interference and diffraction.
At change of quantity of a momentum of electrons and measuring of a wave length, it is possible to receive a relation between these quantities. It has appeared equal to a known relation
l =
h
p
This de Broglie's relation is valid for any kind of particles. The undular properties ofparticles were detected at observation of a pattern of the diffraction of the bundle of electrons on chips. At measuring a scattering angle it is possible to spot a wave length of electrons. Thus, at known quantity of potential, which was utilised for acceleration of a bundle of electrons, their velocity is possible to calculate, and then to receive independent value of a wave length of an electron. The value of a wave length of an electron, which was spotted in such a way, completely coincides with quantity of a wave length, which is found from a diffraction pattern.
What is the Schrodinger equation, and how is it used?
At the beginning of the twentieth century, experimental evidence suggested that atomic particles were also wave-like in nature. For example, electrons were found to give diffraction patterns when passed through a double slit in a similar way to light waves. Therefore, it was reasonable to assume that a wave equation could explain the behaviour of atomic particles.
Schrodinger was the first person to write down such a wave equation. Much discussion then centred on what the equation meant. The eigenvalues of the wave equation were shown to be equal to the energy levels of the quantum mechanical system, and the best test of the equation was when it was used to solve for the energy levels of the Hydrogen atom, and the energy levels were found to be in accord with Rydberg's Law.
It was initially much less obvious what the wavefunction of the equation was. After much debate, the wavefunction is now accepted to be a probability distribution. The Schrodinger equation is used to find the allowed energy levels of quantum mechanical systems (such as atoms, or transistors). The associated wavefunction gives the probability of finding the particle at a certain position.

The Shrodinger equation is:
The solution to this equation is a wave that describes the quantum aspects of a system. However, physically interpreting the wave is one of the main philosophical problems of quantum mechanics.
The solution to the equation is based on the method of Eigen Values devised by Fourier. This is where any mathematical function is expressed as the sum of an infinite series of other periodic functions. The trick is to find the correct functions that have the right amplitudes so that when added together by superposition they give the desired solution.
So, the solution to Schrondinger's equation, the wave function for the system, was replaced by the wave functions of the individual series, natural harmonics of each other, an infinite series. Shrodinger has discovered that the replacement waves described the individual states of the quantum system and their amplitudes gave the relative importance of that state to the whole system.
Schrodinger's equation shows all of the wave like properties of matter and was one of greatest achievements of 20th century science.
It is used in physics and most of chemistry to deal with problems about the atomic structure of matter. It is an extremely powerful mathematical tool and the whole basis of wave mechanics.
Uncertainty Principle -- Heisenberg then came up with the Uncertainty Principle, which stated that the position and velocity(Momentum, which is Mass x Velocity) cannot be known precisely simultaneouely. The more accurately one is known, the less accurately the other can be measured. The product of the uncertainty in position, and the uncertainty in momentum, is always greater than or equal to h/(2pi). While this is neglegible on the macroscopic level, subatomically, it causes great uncertainty. As a result, the world exists in statistical probabilities. For example, a electron cannot be found precisely at one location. At any given chance, it has a certain probability of being found anywhere in the universe, with higher probabilities in regions around the atomic nucleus and less likelihood elsewhere. This can be calculated with the wave function.
Schroedinger's cat -- Since the wave function describes the world in terms of statistical probabilities and not certainties, a cat placed in an isolated system with equal chances of being found alive and dead at anytime is equally dead and alive at the same time. When an observer is introduced to the isolated system, the wave function collapses and the cat is either dead or alive.
Uncertainty principle -- One of the most important concepts of quantum mechanics is the uncertainty principle, which states that there is always some uncertainty when trying to measure the posistion and momentum of a particle. More specifically, the product of the uncertainty in position, Dx, and the uncertainty in momentum, Dmu, is always greater than or equal to h over 2p, where h is planck's constant. When trying to determine the position of an electron, for example, we cannot know exactly where it is and where it's going at the same time. The more accurately one is measured, the less accurately the other is known. To we measure the position of the electron, for example, we can only obtain the information through the collision of the electron with another subatomic particle, such as a photon. After the collision, the momentum of the photon changes--it "bounces" away, and from this change in momentum the position of the electron is calculated (this is how we see-photons bouncing off objects make possible vision). However, the photon also gives the electron a change in momentum, so that now the position and velocity of the electron has changed from what it was. Thus, we can't know precisely the position and velocity simultaneously.
Spin and Quantum Numbers -- It was discovered experimentally that subatomic particles have intrinsic angular momentum. That is, that angular momentum is not given by some interaction, but a property of the particles. This is a quantum property that classical physics has no explanation for. The closest thing on the macroscopic level is rotation (since angular momentum leads to rotating), so this property is called "spin". Subatomic particles, however, don't really spin; they just have the angular momenta. This property is quantatized since the particles may only have certain discrete values of spin and not any value in between. Electrons have spins of either +1/2 or -1/2. In the quantum model, electrons in the atom are given four quantum numbers to distinguish them. The first three distinguish the energy level, the shape of the orbital, and in which orbital the electron is located (has 90% chance of being found), and the last one gives the spin. The Pauli Exclusion Principle states that no 2 electrons in the atom can have the same 4 quantum numbers. If they occupy the same energy level and orbital, then they must have opposite spin.
Nuclear energy -- A tremendous amount of energy is used to hold the nucleus together, since the repulsion between the positively charged protons is great. The bonding forces that hold the nucleus together are collectively known as the nucleur forces. When heavy element nuclei are split into smaller nuclei, or light element nuclei combined to make one nucleus, tremendous energies are released. The former is known fission, and the latter, fusion, and they are the driving forces behind stars and nuclear weopons.
The neutron -- The neutron is an electrically neutral particle slightly heavier than the proton. They are present in numbers greater than or equal to the number of protons in every element except Hydrogen (whose nucleus is a single proton), and variations in the number of neutrons of elements accound for isotopes. The neutron has a maganetic moment, which suggests that its internal structure is made up of electrically charged components whose net charge is zero. The neutron is actually the fusion of a proton and an electron (since in beta decay a neutron is turned into a proton and an electron) and a neutrino.
Isotopes -- Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have differenet mass. This is explained by the proton-neutron model of the nucleus. The number of protons account for which element it is and thus how it behaves, but the number of neutrons there are determines which isotope it is, and there can be more neutrons than there are protons. For example, elemental Hydrogen has one proton (H-1) and a mass of one amu. But an isotope of Hydrogen, deuterium, has a proton and a neutron, and a mass of two amu. As another example, Carbon-12, Carbon-13 and Carbon-14 all have 6 protons (this determines that it is Carbon atom) but have 6, 7 and 8 neutrons, respectively.
Sometimes there are too many neutrons in the nucleus. When this happens, the neutron goes under beta decay, a type of radioactive decay. The neutron splits into a proton, an electron (beta particle) and a neutrino. The proton stays in the nucleus, but the beta particle and the neutrino(an electrically neutral, light or massless particle) are emitted, and energy is released, carried by the electron (when the electron doesn't carry all the energy, the rest is carried by the neutrino).
Molecular Radiation -- results from the rotational, vibrational, and electronic energy transitions of molecules. Spectral bands are the combination of many different spectral lines resulting from vibrational, rotational and electronic transitions. Unresolved band spectra may appears as a spectral continuum.
Spectral bands are part of optical spectra of polyatomic systems, including condensed materials, large molecules etc. Each line corresponding to one level in atom splits in molecules. When the number of atoms is large, one gets continuum of energy levels, so called "spectral bands". They are often labeled in the same way as the monoatomic lines.The bands may overlap. In general, energy spectrum can be given with a density function, describing the number of energy levels of the quantum system for a given interval. Spectral bands have constant density, and when the bands overlap, the corresponding densities are added.
Fourier transform spectroscopy is a measurement technique whereby spectra are collected based on measurements of the temporal coherence of a radiative source, using time-domain measurements of the electromagnetic radiation or other type of radiation. It can be applied to variety of types of spectroscopy including optical spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), nuclear magnetic resonance, and electron spin resonance spectroscopy. There are several methods for measuring the temporal coherence of the light, including the continuous wave Michelson or Fourier transform spectrometer and the pulsed Fourier transform spectrograph (which is more sensitive and has a much shorter sampling time than conventional spectroscopic techniques, but is only applicable in a laboratory environment).
Water is almost perfectly transparent to 'visible' light, a property which is made good use of by photosynthesis and allowing production of both biomass and oxygen. Water is very slightly blue in color [131]c as overtone and combination vibrational absorption bands (albeit far less intense, see above [130]) extend through the red part of the visible spectrum with a small peak at 739 nm and shoulder at 836 nm, both varying somewhat with temperature [268] plus a smaller fourth overtone of the v1:v3 stretch at 606 nm, and very small fifth overtone (at 514 nm) and combined overtone (at 660 nm) bands. This absorption spectrum of water (red light absorbs 100 times more than blue light), together with the five-times greater scattering of blue light over red light, contributes to the blue color of lake, river and ocean waters. Colloidal silica may contribute to the outstanding blue color of certain, often hydrothermal, pools and lakes [372]. Ice is also blue [159] for similar reasons but liquid D2O does not absorb in the red region (as the absorption band is shifted into the infrared) and is blue solely because of the light scattering effect [159].
The first peak in the far UV of gaseous water (166.5 nm [902], shown light blue in the spectrum above) is due to excitation from the occupied pz2-type molecular 1b1 orbital (interactive orbitals are available (COW only [Plug-in, ActiveX]). Absorption of UV close-by (~125 nm), excites the 3a1 orbital leading to dissociation into OH + H (photodissociation). Such dissociation can also be achieved by consecutive absorption of two 266 nm photons [589]. Inelastic x-ray scattering studies find this far UV peak to be absent in liquid water [355], where the major peak is at about 56 nm. The infrared spectrum runs into microwave radiation at longer wavelengths. This interacts with the water dipole, moving the molecules backwards and forwards and so stretching and bending the hydrogen bonds, which generates heat. If the radiation is at too high a frequency (> 1000 GHz, l < 0.3 mm), the molecules do not have time to react to the magnetic field changes and no heat is generated. If the radiation is at lower frequencies (< 1 GHz, l > 30 cm), the molecules react to the magnetic field changes but so slowly that effectively no heat is generated. Pure water is almost totally transparent to such low frequency radiation. The maximum absorption varies to higher frequencies at higher temperatures when the weaker hydrogen bonding allows a quicker response to changes in the field [136]. Microwave ovens typically use radiation at 2.450 GHz (l 12.24 cm). More details on the response of water to microwave radiation are available.
The reported structuring absorption of sound by water is not generally accepted.
a Dielectric studies showed an opposite effect with the absorbance at around 200 cm-1 increasing with increasing temperature to about 30°C before reducing with increasing temperature due to hydrogen bond breakage [608]. The discrepency may be due to additional relaxation processes detected by these dielectric studies in addition to the hydrogen bond stretching detected by infrared spectroscopy [819]. [Back]
b This band may be due to third overtone of the libration band, with the second overtone introducing asymmetry into the bend (v2) vibration [699b]. [Back]
Fuzzy Spectroscopy and goofy 8th grade science project level on cheap gear, but interesting observations I think.
