• Collaboration with top research centre in France Aerial – Illkirch/Strassbourg – Technology Resource Center
The physicist Prof. Louis Rey Ph.D, who lives in Switzerland,
was able to put into action one of the basic concerns, namely to explain homeopathy
scientifically, at the research laboratory Aerial.
Prof. Rey verified by means of the “thermoluminescence method”
that water quasi has a “memory” for substances that previously
were diluted in it.
For that water is cooled down to a very low temperature and activated with roentgen rays or gamma rays. Subsequently, the water is slowly warmed up again. During the warming up the accumulated energy is released again in the form of measurable luminescence (independent release of light quanta). The power of the light quanta (peaks) allows drawing conclusions about the molecular structure of the respective dilution. Rey diluted different salts (sodium chloride and lithium chloride) in water and for comparison in heavy water (D20). The named salts caused a significant weakening of the signal. He diluted and potentiated the dilutions now step-by-step so far that mathematically seen not a single molecule of the salts was contained in the dilution. Comparable to the molecular dilutions of salt the peaks were weaker under the influence of the different dilutions of salts than in pure water and clearly weaker than in heavy water. From that Rey postulated that water “memorises” the structure of those salts that were already once diluted.
Homeopaths also act on the assumption that polar substances like water
memorise information of remedies.

• Collaboration with Hahn – Meitner – Institut Berlin
We are proud of the excellent partnership with the Hahn-Meitner Institut, where the changes of binding relations are examined with regards to homeopathy in the context of a dissertation.
How are the technical characteristics of a material and its microscopic structure connected? This is what the researches of the Berlin Hahn-Meitner-Institut (HMI) ask about. They investigate new materials and complex material systems. Hereby innovative production techniques are always looked at.
For research work about the structure of matter the Helmholtz centre is running
two scientific big apparatuses: the research reactor BER II for experiments
with neutron radiation and the Ionen-Strahl-Labor ISL (ion beam laboratory).
Both facilities serve the research of matter and have highly specialised sample
environment at their disposal, where experiments can be carried out under the
most demanding conditions – a possibility that is often used also by external
international scientist.
