On the structure of water

An entertaining state-of-the-art from the field of materials science (32 pages). Introduces many notions that are generally not well known by biologists and chemists. Presents the important notion of epitaxis, a well known phenomenon in the industry. Roy also covers the 6 anomalies of water in light of the fact that water is not a random arrangement of single H2O molecules, but a combination of different phases (or 3D arrangements) of water molecules clusters. Pinpoints the terminological confusion between structure in biochemistry and structure in materials science. See the rendition of a typical water structure (p 29). Roy adddresses the objection that such H2O arrangements are short lived. Notes on the role of Van der Waals bonds in determining the interesting properties of materials. The authors provide the tools to analyze homeopathic preparations, explaining why some techniques (including Raman) are adequate, while other are not, to characterize the structure of water.

On the effect of dilutions on the properties of water

  • V. Eliaa et al. (2007) Conductometric studies of the serially diluted and agitated solutions on an anomalous effect that depends on the dilution process, Journal of Molecular Liquids, Volume 135, Issues 1-3, 31 July 2007, Pages 158-165

Publication bias against homeopathy

The Benveniste-Davenas affair (Memory of water paper in Nature, 1988)

  • See AR Khuda-Bukhsh (2006) (cited above), p. 326. In response to a critique, Khuda-Bukhsh replies that, contrary to common belief, the results by Davenas & al. were replicated in several centers. This is one of the most serious accusations of publication bias formulated against mainstream journals concerning homeopathy.

Concerning the Lancet 2005 study calling for the end homeopathy trials
