ABSTRACT
The topic of this article is the detection of magnetic photons in homeopathic potencies. Their electromagnetic properties
are proved by a newly developed magnetic resonance method using two different Tesla coils which generate longitudinal
waves at distinct resonance frequencies in the HF range at low micro Voltages. When laid into the maximum of the
magnetic field, homeopathic high potencies with frequencies being in resonance with those of the coils attenuated the
magnetic field. Therefore, it can be concluded that homeopathic potencies consist of magnetic photons. For the first time,
the degree of each potency could be measured and characterized by its specific µV input level which separated the
photons from their carrier molecule of sugar at their resonance frequency. Homeopathic potencies are magnetic photons
with several frequencies in the HF range and with different energies. Until recently, only photons with monochromatic
light have been known. For the first time, the resonance method developed in this paper was extended for determining the
frequency spectra of homeopathic potencies by exciting them by means of a different peak frequency of their individual
spectrum within the HF range. From this it follows that each homeopathic potency must have its specific frequency
spectrum and its specific energy, which is the "homeopathic information." According to these results, homeopathy has
been put on a fundamental, scientific, physical basis. The functioning of homeopathy can now be explained. Healing by
homeopathy obeys the principle of similarity according to Hahnemann:' the patient has to be treated with that substance
which induces the same symptoms that are characteristic for his disease. If a healthy person is treated with the same
substance he or she will develop the same symptoms. It is said, an "information" is then transferred to the patient, because
there is not any molecule left in high potencies. Based on the results of this paper, it can be stated that healing by
homeopathy means exciting or attenuating the level of the energy terms of the pathological pathways by the magnetic
photons according to the resonance principle. Therefore, the homeopathic principle of similarity can be reduced to similar
resonance frequencies of the remedy and the pathological pathway. Homeopathy is an energetic medicine.

INTRODUCTION
he mystery of homeopathy and its mode of action have not been solved yet.
Healing effects are achieved by using substances highly diluted beyond the
Loschmidt constant. Between the dilution steps they must be shaken 10 times
very strongly up and down. The founder of homeopathy, Samuel Hahnemann (1755-
1843), described the preparation of homeopathic remedies. He claimed that healing
obeys the principle of similarity: the symptoms of the patient are similar to those of
the volunteer who was poisoned by e.g. a venom. The highly diluted and vigorously
shaken venom seems to cure the patient by transferring some kind of "information" or
a "oscillatory wave."1 There was no further explanation existing so far.
T
Many experiments aimed at revealing the function of homeopathy, but all of them
remained a fruitless enterprise. Popp claims that all living organisms exist in excited
and nonexcited stages following each other by the absorption and emission of
biophotons.2,3 Then coherence regulates the growing and differentiation of cells by
interaction with the electromagnetic fields of the individuum. Therefore, illness,
physically explained, can be a state of too much or too less energy. From this he
deduced his theory about the function of homeopathy. The way homeopathic healing
might function can be described as follows: Solitons or photons with high frequencies
excite the basic state or delete too much energy according to the principle of
resonance. Until now, no method has allowed to prove this theory.2,3 Meyl completed
Maxwell's energy-wave-equation which described Hertz transversal waves only, and
added potential vortices swinging as longitudinal waves. Both types of waves can
change into one another using only low energies. Using Tesla coils, it is possible to
generate longitudinal waves by distinct frequencies in the HF range using µVoltages.5
All these facts suppose that the energy of homeopathic potencies probably consists of
solitons2 or photons, swinging as a longitudinal wave. This can be proved by using
Tesla coils with high resonance frequencies in the HF range.
PROCEDURES
All measurements were performed within a Faraday cage (3 x 3 x 12 m; attenuation
up to 86 dB of the environmental electromagnetic fields).
Subtle Energies & Energy Medicine Volume 15 Number 3 Page 226
By adjusting the resonance frequency, the longitudinal waves were generated only
then, when the diode at the receiving coil was energized. If both diodes at the sender
and receiving coil are energized, additional Hertz waves are generated.
he electromagnetic fields were measured by using the probe set for E-and H-
near-field measurements HZ-14 (9kHz to 1 GHz, Rohde & Schwarz). The
electric and the magnetic probes were slowly guided from the edge of the coils
to their middle, depending on the polarization of the fields. The spectrum analyzer
then showed the corresponding fields of the coils. A support for the glass tubes
containing 4 globuli of homeopathic potencies was put into the maximum of the
magnetic field, 2-3 cm from the edge of the coil. The used homeopathic potencies of
D 200, C 200, D 1000, C 1000 were purchased from DHU (www.dhu.de), of 200 K,
MK, XMK, LMK, CMf, neutral sugar globuli and homeopathic potencies of water on
sugar globuli of 200K, MK, XMK were purchased from Heel-Belgium (e-mail:
info@heel.be). The Spectrum Analyzer was adjusted for measuring first the
attenuation of the magnetic fields, then for obtaining the different spectra of
homeopathic potencies.

RESULTS
ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS OF TESLA COILS
All experiments were performed within a Faraday cage so that waves from the
environmental transmitters were extremely attenuated (86 dB) and especially
transverse Hertz waves were excluded. Two flat Tesla coils, a transmitter and a
receiver coil (Figure 1), with a different number of windings were available only5
They generate only longitudinal waves, namely scalar waves, at resonance
frequencies of 6.9 MHz and 2.060 MHz respectively, supplied by constant input
voltage (µV).4 Under these conditions it is not possible to generate Hertz transversal
waves. These were the conditions under which Meyl used these coils to transfer
energy. Supposing that homeopathic potencies do have electromagnetic fields, I had
the idea that high homeopathic potencies could be measured by amplifying or
attenuating the transferred energy. First of all the electromagnetic fields of the flat
coils had to be investigated. Their fields were

induced by a primary coil placed 1 cm below them loosely coupled to each other. The
maximum of the magnetic field measured by a near field magnetic probe (Figure 2) is
found 2-3 cm from the edge of the coil with an electric field, adjoining to its middle,
measured by a near field electric probe. The induced fields differ from the fields of a
toroidal coil. Further research into this is still necessary.
ATTENUATING THE MAGNETIC FIELD OF THE TESLA COILS BY HIGH
HOMEOPATHIC POTENCIES
At the beginning high homeopathic potencies, such as XMK, LMK and CMf were
laid into the electric fields of the transmitter coil. But there was no result. Then the
same potencies were put into the maximum of the magnetic field 2-3 cm from the
edge of the coil, using the near field magnetic probe. We tested

many remedies until there was a reaction registered by the spectrum analyzer.
Replacing the near field magnetic probe by a special H-field loop antenna (diameter
of 1 m), the magnetic fields of both, the loop antenna and the coils, being in at right
angles to each other (Figure 1). The spectrum analyzer measured finally (µA/m) that
the magnetic fields of the Tesla coils (6.9 MHz) were attenuated by the high
potencies of Argentum metallicum D 1000, C 1000, MK, XMK, LMK, CMf (Figure
3). The same effect was obtained by using the respective potencies of Cantharis
(Figure 3) with increasing input µV corresponding to the height of the potencies.
Capsicum and Arnica in LMK, CMf showed values of the sugar placebo globuli,
because they do not have any resonance frequencies at 6.9 MHz (Figure 3). Water in
high potencies such as XMK showed no effect. Basing on these results, it can be
concluded that homeopathic potencies consist of magnetic photons. The homeopathic
potencies are completely in resonance with the magnetic field and the longitudinal
wave at about 6.9 MHz or 2.06 MHz of the Tesla coils when laying

them into the maximum of the magnetic field of the transmitter coil. Thus, on the
basis of our experiments a new magnetic resonance method has been developed for
measuring homeopathic potencies.
SEPARATION OF HOMEOPATHIC PHOTONS FROM THEIR CARRIER
MOLECULE
For the first time, it was possible to measure the degree of the potency determined by
the increasing input voltage (Table I) which separates the homeopathic energy, from
the sugar molecule by forming a standing longitudinal wave in the Faraday cage. The
loop antenna measured the wave in the cage (Figure 4). The spectrum of the cleared
globuli without a photon was identical with that of the placebo (Figure 4). This is a
convincing proof for the fact that the globuli were free from any homeopathic
potency. It is important to state that the energy level of the spectrum analyzer did not
go back to zero value because of the standing wave in the Faraday cage which

corrupted the measurements of the loop antenna. The door of the cage was left open for about
20 minutes during which the wave dissipated from the cage. Then the analyzer showed white
noise again.
ACCURACY OF THE MEASUREMENT
It was calculated that the accuracy of the measurement is expressed as the maximal mean
deviation of ± 3%. This means that all values are exactly reproducible.
DEGREE OF POTENCIES
The separating input voltage depends on the degree of the potency. The force of the magnetic
fields binding the photons to the sugar molecules is propor-

tional to the level of the potency, which is separated by the increasing voltage: lower
potencies need lower µV values, higher potencies higher ones. Between them there
exists an increasing linearity related to one special remedy (Figure 3, Table I), such as
Argentum metallicum from 9.33 µV to 501.19 µV (from 200 K to CMf). Cantharis
shows the same linearity: from 30.20 µV to 190.55 µV (from D 200 to CMf) (Table
I). The same does Bovista from 7.08 µV to 56.23 µV (from MK to CMf).
Each of the homeopathic remedies is characterized by a specific µV value for
detaching the magnetic photons from low to higher potencies. Therefore, it can be
followed that in general each homeopathic potency contains a distinct energy level.
Subtle Energies & Energy Medicine Volume 15 Number 3 Page 232
IMPORTANCE OF THE NUMBER OF SUCCUSSIONS
ntil now some of the homeopaths are sure that C-potencies have the best
effect. Others believe in the best healing effect by D-potencies. A third group
believes in K-potencies. But the results of our experiments prove that this
kind of preference of a specific potency is completely unfounded. The shaking of the
K-potencies ten times is performed by machines with random concentrations. The
shaking of D and C-potencies 10 times according to Hahnemann1 is performed by
hand with concentration factors of exactly 1:10 (D-potencies) or 1:100 (C-potencies).
It is a common belief that potencies shaken by hand might be more effective for
healing than potencies shaken by machine. But this assumption could not be proved
until today. Surprisingly, the binding energy of potencies of the same degree, such as
Argentum metaUicum MK, C 1000, D 1000, or Cantharis MK and D 1000 are nearly
equal at 6.9 MHz. The binding energy of Bovista MK and C 1000 at 2.060 MHz is
nearly the same. Those of Argentum metaUicum XMK, LMK, CMf increase linearly
as expected. Cantharis LMK and CMf react in the same way. The value of Cantharis
XMK is too low. Presumably the shaking machine was defective. But no other
fraction of Cantharis XMK was available (Table I).
U
The number of shakings is the same for the potencies such as MK, D 1000 or C 1000
of e.g. Argentum metaUicum, but their concentration factor is different. This
indicates that their concentration factor is not important. Consequently, all potencies
of one remedy with the same number of shakings have the same energy at the same
resonance frequency. Our experiments proved that the method of preparing
homeopathic remedies shaking the dilutions by hand or by machine makes no
difference. Thus, the argument in favor of the manual method, as often put forward
by the homeopaths, is unfounded.
THE HIGHEST ENERGY IS FOUND IN HIGHLY SUCCUSSED AND HIGHLY
DILUTED POTENCIES
In fact, as it was always supposed, the energy of the potencies grows with the
increasing number of the shaking steps and is inversely proportional to the degree of
dilution. The CMf potencies which have the highest dilution factor of all potencies
used show the highest energy values (Table I) in contrast to the much lower potencies
of 200K or MK.

FREQUENCY SPECTRA OF HOMEOPATHIC POTENCIES WITHIN THE RF
RANGE
ntil today no method exists for measuring frequency spectra in the HF-range
(1.6-30 MHz). For developing a new method in order to measure the
resonance frequency spectra of homeopathic potencies in the HF range, the
newly developed Tesla coil method as described above was extended. An old
physical principle was applied: in general, for obtaining a spectrum, the respective
substance has to be excited by a range of wavelength which must be identical with
that of the desired spectrum. Therefore, the frequency spectra of the homeopathic
remedies could be obtained after exciting them for 35 minutes by a different
resonance frequency of their individual spectrum and by varying the input level of
µV. As we were working above the noise level, only LMK or CMf potencies with
very high energy could be used for reproducible results. It was only under these
conditions that the frequency spectra of homeopathic potencies could be obtained.
The resonance frequencies of Bovista CMf are 4.77 MHz and 2.059 MHz. Under the
same condition, Cannabis sativa CMf showed no resonance (Figure 4); different
frequencies of Argentum metallicum are 2.06 and 6.96064, 7.008 MHz, 7.1027 MHz,
7.18848 MHz, those of Cantharis CMf are 2.06 MHz, 6.84 MHz, 6.92912 MHz,
6.8344 MHz, 7.16504 MHz (Figure 5).

CONCLUSIONS
Each remedy consists of a specific energy and of different frequencies in the HF
range within the longer wave range.
DISCUSSION
IDENTIFICATION OF HOMEOPATHIC POTENCIES AS MAGNETIC
PHOTONS
For the first time, homeopathic potencies were identified as magnetic photons. It was
possible to measure their degree of potency and their frequency spectra within the HF
range. It is a peculiar feature that each of them is provided

with several characteristic high frequencies in the HF range. The potencies were in
resonance with the magnetic field and with the corresponding longitudinal wave of
the coils. From this it can be concluded that homeopathic potencies consist of
magnetic photons. No results were obtained by laying the homeopathic potency into
the electric field of the coil. From this it follows that homeopathic potencies do not
consist of electric photons. Further investigations must be undertaken with coils
produced with a different number of windings, which imply other resonance
frequencies to measure those remedies with other resonance frequencies.
Until now no other method does exist for generating longitudinal waves as the Tesla
coils do. Another resonance method, called Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR),
was applied by Weingartner.7 But the results were doubtful. He tried to prove the
effect of homeopathic dilutions with a potency of D 30 by the Nuclear Magnetic
Resonance method.7 They used 300 MHz and extremely high field strength. But
under such conditions the photons are supposed to
Subtle Energies & Energy Medicine Volume 15 Number 3 Page 235
separate at once from the magnetic pole of the water molecule and, furthermore, 300
MHz is probably not a resonance frequency of the remedies in the HF range (1.6-30
MHz). All authors mentioned by Weingartner, e.g. Boericke, a famous American
homeopath, used too low potencies such as D4 to 60X, respectively.7,8 Under these
conditions, the measurements are probably below the noise level. The signals
obtained were not always reproducible and could not be exactly identified.
Popp, using a photomultiplier, proved that living organisms, e.g. plants, emit
biophotons.2'3 He assumed that homeopathic potencies might be solitons formed by
succussion.2'3 First he poisoned plants with a specific substance. Then he tried to cure
the plants with a homeopathic potency (D6 or D12) of the same substance. After that
he tried to measure the emitted biophotons in comparison with placebos. He
succeeded in measuring some effects from D6 to D12, whereas higher potencies gave
no results.
FORMATION OF PHOTONS
ccording to Meyl each electromagnetic wave can be curled into an electric or
magnetic potential vortex or photon forming a scalar wave. (The inner field
of the electric photon is a magnetic one, and the inner field of the magnetic
photon is an electric one.) The same effect is assumed by superposition of the
electromagnetic fields. These vortices can be diminished by means of the Lorentz
force. In this case the wavelength would be shortened, while at the same time the
frequency would arise. Basing on Einstein's equation E = mc2, each material
substance consists of compressed electromagnetic wave packets with many different
wavelengths. I came to realize that the extracts being used for the preparation of
homeopathic potencies by vigorously shaking the dilution up and down by hand as
Hahnemann prescribed, consist of electromagnetic wave packets, too.1 When the
vessel is shaken up and down, the agitated electromagnetic fields induce new fields
interfering with each other. The effects of superpositon and reflection of the waves
cause the formation of photons, so that the wave packets are curled into electric or
magnetic vortices or photons. The magnitude of the photons depends on the number
of succusions; LMK or CMf potencies might be the smallest ones, because the
Lorentz force—in this case expressed as the number
A
Subtle Energies & Energy Medicine Volume 15 Number 3 Page 236
of succussions—compresses the vortices. This indicates that the wavelengths are
transformed into shorter ones and the frequencies increase. This whole process may
be called energy transformation. The wave packets included in the generated
homeopathic photons are the reason why each of them has several different resonance
frequencies. Hereby, the energy is transformed into higher frequencies from low to
high homeopathic potencies.
Benveniste succeeded in performing his experiments with highly diluted extracts
which had been shaken very strongly, so that photons of a higher energy were
generated.9 This is the only possible explanation of his experiments.
Hahnemann was concerned that his highly diluted and shaken extracts had no
molecules any more.1 He had no explanation for the healing effects he found.
Furthermore, he did not know that he had created and transformed material substance
into magnetic photons with high energy corresponding to Einstein's formula.
FREQUENCY SPECTRA
ntil today no method is known to measure exactly the frequencies of
homeopathic potencies in the HF range. According to an old physical
principle: to obtain a spectrum of a substance, this substance has to be excited
by a wave the spectrum of which is identical with that of the substance. The newly
developed Tesla coil method was extended to measuring the frequency spectra of high
homeopathic potencies such as LMK or CMf by another resonance frequency of their
own spectrum. Surprisingly, homeopathic potencies show different frequencies within
the HF range. Therefore, the high homeopathic potencies must be excited by another
resonance frequency of their own spectrum. The result obtained was completely
unexpected. Usually a photon is characterized by only one frequency or wavelength
(E = h.v) as a monochromatic light. During our experiments, a spectrum of several
resonance frequencies of Bovista CMf at 2.06 MHz and at 4.77 MHz was obtained.
By the way, Bovista has some more frequency spectra, but they were not shown.
Arnica LMK has no resonance frequency at 6.9 MHz and served therefore as a blank
value. Further blanc values of all frequency spectra that were shown during our
experiments
U
Subtle Energies & Energy Medicine Volume 15 Number 3 Page 237
were obtained by blank sugar globuli (placebos) or by other globuli carrying
succussed water in XMK. As far as possible the frequency spectra shown in this
article are free from disturbing longitudinal waves of any kind which penetrate the
Faraday cage. This method represents an innovation, which implies that each
homeopathic potency has the possibility to be excited by several resonance
frequencies. Each homeopathic potency has its specific frequency spectrum. It can be
concluded from the aforesaid that the homeopathic pharmacy consists of magnetic
photons with varying frequency spectra in the HF range only. But it has to be proved
by further experiments whether there might be additional frequency spectra within
other frequency ranges. The question which arises now is whether homeopathic
potencies do have frequency spectra within the range from 220 nm to 550 nm. This is
the range within Popp found the spectra of biophotons.2'3
Popp measured biophotons emitted from living organisms.2,3 He stated that they have
a broad frequency spectrum in the range from 220 nm to 550 nm. Is there any
connection between homeopathic potencies and biophotons?
ENERGY IN C-, D-, AND K-POTENCIES
The degree of homeopathic potencies has never been determined before. Using the
newly developed method it was possible to determine the degree of the respective
potency (Table I). Distinct µV values characterize the degree of a specific potency,
which was identified as magnetic photons, bound to the carrier molecule of sugar.
Increasing µV values separated the magnetic fields of both the magnetic photons and
the sugar molecules, the spectrum of which was then identical with that of placebos.
This is the proof for the fact that it is really an energy which is bound to the sugar
globuli in form of a homeopathic potency. Surprisingly, the characteristic separating
energy µV) of the same degree of a potency such as MK, D 1000 or C 1000 is nearly
equal although they have different concentrations, but the same number of
succusions. Hahnemann already stated that the number of succussions is only
important, but not the concentration.1 The highest µV values are characteristic for the
highest potencies such as LMK or CMf. From this, it can be concluded that these are
potencies where the highest energies can be found. Until now it is a well known
observation that high potencies cure especially chronicle diseases. It was a pure
assumption that high potencies have higher energies. Our experi-
Subtle Energies & Energy Medicine Volume 15 Number 3 Page 238-
ments brought the physical evidence for the existing theories that there is a relation
between potency and its energy.
Homeopathic potencies are prepared by diluting alcoholic extracts (of e.g. plants) and
shaking them several times after each step of dilution by hand. For the production of
homeopathic potencies the succussion by hand (10 times for D- and C- potencies) is
the only method provided by law in Germany. This is different from other countries,
where K-potencies and even D- and C-potencies are shaken by machine. The
homeopathic potencies prepared in this way are then poured onto the sugar globuli
which get dry because of the evaporation of the water-alcohol mixture.
In therapy, it is said that D-potencies are "hard ones" and C-potencies are "soft ones,"
whereas K-potencies shaken by machine with random concentrations are normally
ignored by homeopaths. But there is no evidence at all for such a prejudice. Our
experiments prove that only the number of shaking steps, either by hand or by
machine, is important for the energy level of the remedies.
"INFORMATION" OR "MEMORY" OF THE HOMEOPATHIC
POTENCIES
asing on the fact that the main properties of homeopathic potencies are
electromagnetic energies and magnetic photons, it can be concluded that the
sugar globuli bind the photons by their magnetic fields. By analogy, photons
in alcoholic-water-dilutions bind to the alcoholic-water molecules. During the
preparation of homeopathic potencies, the succussed alcoholic water dilution is
poured onto the sugar globuli. Presumably, the magnetic field of the sugar globuli is
stronger than that of the water carrier molecule. Otherwise, the photons bound to
water carrier molecules would be evaporated. The homeopathic photons are bound to
their carrier molecule, either water or sugar, by their magnetic poles. Probably, the
characteristic µV-values separating the magnetic photons from their carrier molecules
depend on the structure of the respective carrier molecule—water (dilution) or sugar
(sugar globuli)—considering the fact that their magnetic fields are different. The µV
values separating the magnetic photons are expected to be different in potencies in
alcohol-water dilutions.

It is supposed that the water molecule has some kind of memory carrying the
homeopathic information.10 It has been observed that the structure of water is
changing because of different reasons. Basing on our experiments it can be concluded
that it is not the water molecule that has a memory. Probably, the change in the
structure of water is caused by various types of photons with their specific
frequencies and by their energy when they are bound to the magnetic pole of water.
The so-called "memory effect of water" is based on photons magnetically bound with
their characteristic properties.
It is said that homeopathic remedies contain "information." This information is the
homeopathic magnetic photon with its intrinsic electromagnetic wave packet and
different frequencies being transformed by succussion into higher frequencies at
higher potencies.
REGULATION OF LIFE THROUGH BIOPHOTONS
Life means an absorption and emission of biophotons in order to regulate the coherent
electromagnetic field of biophotons which are stored in the DNA.3 The organism is a
transmitter and a receiver of biophotons, at the same time adjusting to its
environment. According to the results of our experiments, I can complete Popp's
theory as follows: biophotons absorbed transform biochemical pathways onto a
higher energy level. When the respective pathway is traversed, the unused photons
are emitted into the environment. As a consequence one more question might be
solved: For catalyzing the turnover of substrates, allosteric enzymes need energy to
turn themselves into the optimal conformation. Nobody knows the source of this
energy. The absorption of biophotons might be the explanation.
HEALING BY HOMEOPATHY
Illness is explained by Popp in the following way: the regulation of the electro-
magnetic field of any organism is disturbed because of a change of its frequencies.3
Therefore, healing by homeopathy is achieved by a regulation of this disturbed
electromagnetic field according to the principle of resonance by taking homeopathic
potencies with corresponding frequencies. However, Popp failed
Subtle Energies & Energy Medicine Volume 15 Number 3 Page 240
to prove his theory. He could not find photons in homeopathic potencies. Finally, I
succeeded in confirming Popp's theory by the detection of magnetic photons with
high frequencies in the HF range.2'3 The theory of efficacy and healing by
homeopathy will be completed by following considerations: Presumably, during the
process of illness the pathological pathway passes through several morbid states
which could be explained in terms of energy with distinct frequencies, each of them
corresponding to the frequency of a distinct homeopathic potency. Basing on the
results of this paper, healing by homeopathy means a complete resonance of the
frequency of the pathological pathway and that of the remedy. By oral application of
a respective homeopathic potency, the photon is immediately separated from the
sugar or water molecule by the low voltages of the organism.
The photon free from any water or sugar molecule, being identical with the pure
homeopathic energy, is in resonance with one of the energy terms of the pathological
pathway, the frequency of which being in resonance with that of the photons. Thus,
by phase-dependent interference one of the energy terms of the pathological pathway
will either be excited to a higher energy level by increasing the intensity of the wave
amplitude or the excessive energy will be deleted. Thereby, the pathological pathway
is transformed to another energy level, which then requires another homeopathic
potency with another frequency. There is a constant interaction between the
electromagnetic field of the respective organism and the pathological pathway.
Different remedies are used in a hierarchic sequence in order to reach coherence by
interaction with the regulating electromagnetic field.2'3 In this way, healing is
achieved step by step, remedy by remedy, changing the frequencies one after another.
Hahnemann's principle of using only one remedy for total healing is doubtful.1
Homeopathy works with energy. Each pathological pathway consists of different
energy states such as, for instance, the H-atom with its different energy levels. Several
distinct frequencies correspond to the different states of illness. Only those remedies
with corresponding resonance frequencies can heal and regulate the pathway. After
finishing the pathway the photons are emitted into the environment. From this it
follows that Hahnemann's law of similarity can be reduced to the similar resonance
frequency between the potency and the energy terms of the pathological pathway,
according to the principle of resonance.

SAVE THE HOMEOPATHY!
Many remedies in high potencies, e.g. nosodes such as cholera LMK or yellow fever
LMK, which are important for healing, are no longer available. The results of this
paper may prove that it is not justified that the production of homeopathic remedies is
more and more restricted. Recently, a law was enacted by the European Union
according to which the original substances of high potencies of nosodes and snake
venoms must be destroyed because of their toxic effects, although everybody knows
that in high homeopathic potencies no molecule does exist. These new procedures
applied will destroy the original substances. This will lead to homeopathic potencies
in which the photons created by shaking do not correspond with the original
substances. This is a consequence of misunderstanding of the way homeopathy
works. There is not even one single molecule of the original extract in these remedies,
but only magnetic photons.

... ~ 486 ~ However, the precise mechanisms through which potentization and energy distribution contribute to the therapeutic efficacy of homeopathic remedies remain poorly understood. While some studies have started to elucidate these phenomena [5][6] , the scientific explanations for how such processes might function at the molecular level remains unclear. This study focuses on Conium maculatum (CM), a homeopathic preparation traditionally used for treating glandular and cancerous conditions, including prostate and breast cancer. ...
... Initially, both systems underwent a minimization step for 6 nanoseconds using the conjugate gradient method (NVT ensembles), followed by heating to 298.15 K within 0.2 ns. They were then equilibrated for 6 ns in NPT ensemble at 298.15 K and atmospheric pressure, maintaining static temperature using Langevin dynamics with a collision frequency of 1 ps−1 [5] . The pressure was managed using Nose-Hoover Langevin piston with a 100 fs oscillation period and a 50 fs damping factor [6] . ...

Background: Prostate cancer is a major global health concern with existing treatments often having severe side effects. Homeopathic treatments are considered safer alternatives, yet their efficacy and mechanisms are debated due to their highly diluted nature and the energy dynamics due to potentization. Objectives: This study aims to characterize the physico-chemical properties and energy dynamics of Conium maculatum (CM) homeopathic formulations and evaluate their anti-cancer efficacy against DU145 prostate cancer cell lines. Methods: Advanced analytical techniques like Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) were used to characterize the nanoparticles in CM formulations. Energy distribution was assessed through molecular simulations. The anti-proliferative effects were evaluated using MTT assays to monitor cell viability across different dilutions. Results: TEM and AFM analyses confirmed the presence of nanoparticles, with a decrease in size at higher dilutions. Molecular simulations showed increased energy states in diluted formulations, correlating with higher therapeutic efficacy. CM formulations demonstrated significant cytotoxic effects against DU145 cells, particularly at lower dilutions (MT, 6C, 12C). Conclusions: The study provides empirical support for the physico-chemical properties and therapeutic potential of CM formulations in prostate cancer treatment, suggesting that homeopathic dilutions retain bioactive properties that can effectively inhibit cancer cell proliferation.
... When the homeopathic medicine is consumed by an ill patient, the photons are released from the base material on interaction with the micro-voltages present in the body. Each of the homeopathic medicine releases the photons at a particular frequency and voltage to bring back the equilibrium in the disturbed bio-photon according to the principle of resonance 40 . ...
... Electromagnetic signals/output voltage from various homeopathy sample under excitation frequency of 4.8 kHz.The important results obtained were that each of the homeopathic potency generates a characteristic signal in each case whether the starting materials are of a magnetic or non-magnetic nature. The theory suggested by Lenger40 that the succussion and vibrations during the preparation of the homeopathic potency lead to the generation of the electromagnetic property in the homeopathic potency. Hence, it can thus be proved that the succussion and vibrations during the preparation of the homeopathic medicines lead to the generation of a magnetic character in each of the homeopathic potency. ...

In the present work, a novel experimental tool was developed to precisely measure the potency levels in various homeopathic medicines, under various excitation frequencies. Electromagnetic responses (output voltages) are detected from the homeopathic medicines in different potencies. These unique electromagnetic responses were captured using an electromagnetic coil at 300 Hz and 4.8 kHz for each potency level developed in-house. Different potencies of Homeopathic medicine Ferrum Metallicum (FM-1X to FM-6X), prepared with α‑lactose monohydrate as its base, exhibited significant and distinct electromagnetic signals. At high excitation frequency, the output signal voltage from high homeopathic potencies had a better resolution compared to the signal obtained at lower frequency. The electromagnetic signal of various homeopathic medicines was also measured, and a distinct output voltage corresponding to each potency level was detected. Our experimental results confirmed that each homeopathic medicine has characteristic electromagnetic signals under excitation/resonance frequency. The results not only provide scientific evidence to easily classify the homeopathic medicine potency but, also helps to understand the science behind the curative action in terms of photon emission of homeopathic medicines.

Objectives: In parts I and II of our review of physicochemical research performed on homeopathic preparations, we identified relevant publications and analyzed the data in terms of individual experiments, looking for the most promising techniques that were used in the past. In this third part, we analyze the results of the experiments seeking to extract information about the possible modes of action underpinning homeopathic preparations. Methods: We summarized the results from the 11 experimental areas previously introduced, extracting the general findings and trends. We also summarized the results in terms of specific research topics: aging, medium used for potentization, sample volume, temperature, material of potentization vessel, and, finally, the use of molecules to probe homeopathic samples. Results: We identified a number of effects that appear consistently throughout the data: Differences to controls seem to increase with: time, moderate temperature, small samples volume, and in ionic medium, whereas high temperatures seem to abolish differences to controls. Based on the present analysis, there is no consistent evidence to date for the nanoparticle hypothesis to explain specific homeopathic treatment effects. However, the quantum coherence domain hypothesis, the dynamic water cluster hypothesis, and the weak quantum theory are still contenders and need to be further assessed experimentally. Conclusions: The field requires further targeted experimentation to validate past findings reporting differences between homeopathic dilutions and controls, and to expand these findings by specifically testing the three main working hypotheses that are currently at hand.

Desperate cancer patients very often prefer alternative medicine as homeopathy after unsuccessful treatment by radiation and chemotherapy. After the detection of magnetic photons in homeopathic remedies by Lenger homeopathy can be seen as an energetic medicine. According to Lenger's biochemical and biophysical model of homeopathy 15 patients having cancer in the endocrine system, lymph nodes and relapses were treated.They all reported a hypofunction of the thyroid at the beginning of their illness. To achieve a normally working thyroid, all patients got an unusual mixture of 50µg potassium jodide, 55mg calcium and the corresponding highly potentised homeopathic remedies in 50M as Iodium, Calcium-salts for the incorporation and regulation of calcium and iodium. The additional therapy consisted of the highly potentised gland, its specific hormone and potentised substrates of the fatty acid metabolism. After getting the unusual thyroid-mixture the woman with tongue cancer was healed completely.The nodes in the breast of 5 women vanished completely after application of 50M of Prolactin, Glandula pituitaria; for the remove of the precipitated prolactin Urea pura, Uricum acidum, Picricum acidum, Nitricum acidum. Highly potentised steroidhormones were given to a woman with relapses in the lung having had breast cancer, ovarian and uterine carcinoma, to the woman with lymphnode disease and fatty tissue in the abdomen and to the men with high PSA values in combination with high potencies of the substrates of the fatty acid metabolism. The woman improved for three years. The PSA-values of the men became normal. Both women with severe cancer and metastases in the bones lived more than 6 years in contrast to the doctors' prediction that they have only 2-4 months to live. Lenger's unusual homeopathic therapy consisting of substances and high homeopathic remedies of the ill endocrine glands was able to improve successfully the cancer of the endocrine system.

Background Assignment of expiry date to homeopathic medicines is a subject of important concern to its pharmacists and practitioners. This study compares the regulatory framework for the expiry of homeopathic medicines in four countries: Brazil, Germany, India and the United States. Findings Different or no expiry periods are variously followed. Whereas Germany, with some exceptions, employs a maximum expiry of 5 years for both potencies and finished products, Brazil adopts a 5-year expiry for finished products only, potencies used in manufacture being exempted from an assigned expiry date. In India, all homeopathic medicines except dilutions and back potencies have a maximum of 5 years' shelf-life, including those supplied to consumers. In the United States, homeopathic medicines are exempted from expiry dates. Comments There is neither a rational basis nor scientific evidence for assigning a short (3–5 years) expiry period for homeopathic medicines as followed in some of the countries, particularly in light of the fact that some studies have shown homeopathic medications to be effective even after 25 years. Homeopathic ultra-dilutions seem to contain non-material activity that is maintained over time and, since these exhibit different chemical properties compared to the original starting material, it is quite possible they possess properties of longer activity than conventional medicines. Regulators should acknowledge this feature and differentiate expiry of homeopathic medicinal products from that of conventional drugs.
... Homeopathy can now be explained since Lenger discovered magnetic photons in homeopathic remedies by two magnetic resonance methods [4][5][6]. Molsky confirmed these results with a quasi-quantum model of potentization [7]. Magnetic monopoles and monopoliums are proved at LHC, CERN Institute, Geneva [8,9]. ...

Homeopathy, a holistic therapy, is believed to cure only acute symptoms of a beginning illness according to the Laws of Similars; but not deep, bleeding, septic wounds. The homeopaths refuse to heal according to special medical indications. Based on Lenger’s detection of magnetic photons in homeopathic remedies a biochemical and biophysical model of homeopathic healing was developed Biochemical, pathological pathways can be treated by their highly potentized substrates and inhibitors. Three groups of patients with moderate, severe and septic wounds had been successfully treated with the suitable remedies depending on the biochemical pathological state.

Objectives: In Part 1 of the review of physicochemical research performed on homeopathic preparations the authors identified relevant publications of sufficient reporting quality for further in-depth analysis. In this article, the authors analyze these publications to identify any empirical evidence for specific physicochemical properties of homeopathic preparations and to identify most promising experimental techniques for future studies. Methods: After an update of the literature search up to 2018, the authors analyzed all publications in terms of individual experiments. They extracted information regarding methodological criteria such as blinding, randomization, statistics, controls, sample preparation, and replications, as well as regarding experimental design and measurement methods applied. Scores were developed to identify experimental techniques with most reliable outcomes. Results: The publications analyzed described 203 experiments. Less than 25% used blinding and/or randomization, and about one third used adequate controls to identify specific effects of homeopathic preparations. The most promising techniques used so far are nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) relaxation, optical spectroscopy, and electrical impedance measurements. In these three areas, several sets of replicated high-quality experiments provide evidence for specific physicochemical properties of homeopathic preparations. Conclusions: The authors uncovered a number of promising experimental techniques that warrant replication to assess the reported physicochemical properties of homeopathic preparations compared with controls. They further discuss a range of experimental aspects that highlight the many factors that need to be taken into consideration when performing basic research into homeopathic potentization. For future experiments, the authors generally recommend using succussed (vigorously shaken) controls, or comparing different homeopathic preparations with each other to reliably identify any specific physicochemical properties.

Objectives: The last systematic review of physicochemical research performed on homeopathic preparations was published in 2003. The aim of the study is to update and expand the current state of knowledge in the area of physicochemical properties of homeopathic preparations. In part 1 of the study, we aim to present an overview of the literature with respect to publication quality and methods used. In part 2, we aim to identify the most interesting experimental techniques. With this, we aim to be in a position to generate meaningful hypotheses regarding a possible mode of action of homeopathic preparations. Methods: A two-step procedure was adopted: (1) an extensive literature search, followed by a bibliometric and quality analysis on the level of publications and (2) a thorough qualitative analysis of the individual physicochemical investigations found. In this publication, we report on step (1). We searched major scientific databases to find publications reporting physicochemical investigations of homeopathy from its origin to the end of 2015. Publications were assessed using a scoring scheme, the Manuscript Information Score (MIS). Information regarding country of origin of the research and experimental techniques used was extracted. Results: We identified 183 publications (compared to 44 in the last review), 122 of which had an MIS ≥5. The rate of publication in the field was ∼2 per year from the 1970s until 2000. Afterward, it increased to over 5.5 publications per year. The quality of publications was seen to increase sharply from 2000 onward, whereas before 2000, only 12 (13%) publications were rated as "high quality" (MIS ≥7.5); 44 (48%) publications were rated as "high quality" from 2000 onward. Countries with most publications were Germany (n = 42, 23%), France (n = 29, 16%), India (n = 27, 15%), and Italy (n = 26, 14%). Techniques most frequently used were electrical impedance (26%), analytical methods (20%), spectroscopy (20%), and nuclear magnetic resonance (19%). Conclusions: Physicochemical research into homeopathic preparations is increasing both in terms of quantity and quality of the publications.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has called for the increased statutory regulation of traditional and complementary medicine practitioners and practices, currently implemented in about half of nations surveyed. According to recent WHO data, however, the absence of policy guidelines in this area represents a significant barrier to implementation of such professional regulations. This commentary reviews several key challenges that distinguish the statutory regulation of traditional medicine practitioners and practices from biomedical professional regulation, providing a foundation for the development of policy making parameters in this area. Foremost in this regard are the ongoing impacts of the European colonial encounter, which reinforce biomedicine's disproportionate political dominance across the globe despite traditional medicine's ongoing widespread use (particularly in the global South). In this light, the authors discuss the conceptual and historical underpinnings of contemporary professional regulatory structures, the tensions between institutional and informal traditional medicine training pathways, and the policy challenges presented by the prospect of standardizing internally diverse indigenous healing approaches. Epistemic and evidentiary tensions, as well as the policy complexities surrounding the intersection of cultural and clinical considerations, present additional challenges to regulators. Conceptualizing professional regulation as an intellectual property claim under the law, the authors further consider what it means to protect traditional knowledge and prevent misappropriation in this context. Overall, the authors propose that innovative professional regulatory approaches are needed in this area to address safety, quality of care, and accessibility as key public interest concerns, while prioritizing the redress of historical inequities, protection of diverse indigenous knowledges, and delivery of care to underserved populations.

When human polymorphonuclear basophils, a type of white blood cell with antibodies of the immunoglobulin E (IgE) type on its surface, are exposed to anti-IgE antibodies, they release histamine from their intracellular granules and change their staining properties. The latter can be demonstrated at dilutions of anti-IgE that range from 1 x 10(2) to 1 x 10(120); over that range, there are successive peaks of degranulation from 40 to 60% of the basophils, despite the calculated absence of any anti-IgE molecules at the highest dilutions. Since dilutions need to be accompanied by vigorous shaking for the effects to be observed, transmission of the biological information could be related to the molecular organization of water.
