Nobel laureate Professor Luc Montagnier serious about homeopathy

Luc Montagnier, of the Institut Pasteur in Paris, is a French virologist who co-discovered HIV. He won the Nobel prize in 2008. In an article published in Science Magazine December 24th Montagnier describes his newest work that has significant implications on homeopathy. He says that “…high dilutions are right. High dilutions of something are not nothing. They are water structures which mimic the original molecules.” He conducted a study published in 2009 which was an important contribution to the growing evidence base in fundamental research with direct relevance to homeopathy. The study demonstrated that some bacterial DNA sequences are able to induce electromagnetic waves at high dilutions.
Montagnier is taking on the leadership of a new research institute at Jiaotong University in Shanghai and plans to study the phenomenon of electromagnetic waves produced by DNA in water. He cannot pursue his research in France. There are three major factors: because of the lack of funding; French retirement laws don’t allow him to work in a public institute; and there is a fear of this kind of research topic in Europe.
Dr Jacques Benveniste, a French immunologist, published a paper on his research on high dilutions in 1988 which fully supported homeopathy. From his research Benveniste demonstrated that water retained memory and that this “memory” could be digitized, transmitted, and reinserted into another sample of water, which would then contain the same active qualities as the first sample. However, an “investigative” team, which included well known skeptic James Randi, tried to replica the study. The studies failed to replicate Benveniste’s finding because the original protocol was not followed. This fact was lost in the widely publicized findings by this group. Benveniste’s reputation was damaged, and he lost his funding. Of Benveniste, Montagnier says he is a “modern Galileo.” “Benveniste was rejected by everybody, because he was too far ahead. He lost everything, his lab, his money. … I think he was mostly right, but the problem was that his results weren’t 100% reproducible.” “I am told that some people have reproduced Benveniste’s results, but they are afraid to publish it because of the intellectual terror from people who don’t understand it.”
These kinds of studies provide evidence for allopaths (conventional medical practitioners) of the efficacy of nano medicine, and nano technology. Homeopathic medicine is nano medicine. Homeopathic nano technology is very simple:
Homeopathy provides a drug delivery system which uses high dilutions of a medicine that has been systematicallly diluted through a series of dilutions and succussions to provide bioavailability. Bioavailability means that the medicine will reach that part of the body where it is needed and will do the most good. Because of the highly diluted nature of the end medicinal substance there is no danger of toxicity, and no side effects. The same substances have been used in homeopathic medicine in over 200 years.
